Blackthorn Acorn from Eldritch Pipes
I commissioned Chris Kelly (Eldritch Pipes) to make me a Blackthorn Acorn pipe. It’s now finished and paid for and I am eagerly awaiting it’s arrival. I figured I would post some pics of it here in case others were on the fence about getting a pipe made by him. Once I receive my pipe and smoke...- Daddypants

Pipe Tobacco Consolidation and Conseqences
If it were my business, I would 100% want to own the means of production from the farm all the way to the retailer. It’s the smart move.- Daddypants

Help, Please for: Good, Inexpensive, Small Pipe
Try a Morgan Pipes Bones. They come in lots of styles and range from small to medium size. Every one that I have purchased has a chamber diameter large enough to fit my fat finger in. Which is important to me. That isn’t normally the case with a corn cob pipe. Also, they are less than $50.- Daddypants

Folklore
I gambled on this and while I have yet to smoke it, the box (bag?) note is the best I have ever smelled. Very much like a very good granola/raisin bar. I let my little girl smell it and she said “To heck with smoking it, we should eat it!” Lol.- Daddypants

Recommendations for Similar Blends
This has been very helpful for me to think about the blends. Thank you. Listing the components made a huge difference. I’m not sure why I didn’t think to do that.- Daddypants

Recommendations for Similar Blends
I can scratch burley off already. Too cigarette-y. I’ve tried most of the codger blends besides granger and bokhum riff. SWR is alright as is Captain Black but H&H and Velvet are not that swell. I think maybe it’s the Virginia and Perique that I like. Both blends have those two tobaccos. I...- Daddypants

Recommendations for Similar Blends
I’ll be honest, I’m not sure either. That’s why I am asking you guys. Lol. I’ve tried all sorts of blends and these two just seem to be the ones I prefer, particularly the Bankside. I don’t have the most sophisticated palate. My personal reviews in my head tend to go something like “Ugh...- Daddypants

Recommendations for Similar Blends
As my palate continues to develop, I’ve come to really love G L Pease Bankside (my favorite!) and Escudo Navy Deluxe. What are similar blends that I should try out? Thanks in advance for all the suggestions!- Daddypants

More Eldritch Pipes: Smooth Straight Grain Prince and a Smooth Horn
Neither are mine but they were both available as of this evening when I got the email. Unfortunately for me, I have to pay for processing a steer and a hog so I will be a bit shy on coin this month or else one of those pipes would be coming home to me. Lol. Anyway I promise I am not a shill. I...- Daddypants

No worries! I am a stickler about certain things too! I just wanted to know what you thought it was. Some of the pipe shapes still seem kinda blurry to me. The line between a Devil Anse vs Cutty or Dublin versus a Zulu kinda gets fuzzy depending on who makes it. At least to my novice eyes.- Daddypants

Yeah. It ain’t mine. Nice tho. The pipe I commissioned from him will be up to bat in July. While he is well known for his wilder pipes, I wanted to show off his more traditional stuff.- Daddypants

Chris Kelly of Eldritch Pipes is well known for his more avant-garde work but he can also make a gorgeous traditional style pipe, although still with his unique signature touch. This is not mine but I just thought it was a beautiful pipe and wanted to share the pics with you guys.- Daddypants

Cutty Madness. Semifinals Match 2.
Man, I wish I could vote for No. 1 multiple times. Going back and looking at all four semi finalists, I find that three of them are similar and one just stands out above all the rest and that is No. 1. All of them are without a doubt, gorgeous examples but there is something about that one...- Daddypants
