    Sutliff Pipe Force blends

    Probably worst for brick and mortars in this case.

    Sutliff Pipe Force blends

    I wondered if they would be heavier like that. They must be. Lol.

    The Dedicated Pipe Dilemma

    Meh. I dedicate pipes and then forget and switch all the time. Sure, smoking a month's worth of deertongue through a pipe will ghost but even that goes away after a few strong English bowls. And hey, a little lingering Lakeland in a straight Virginia isn't the end of the world. Just have fun and...

    Hello from Upstate NY

    Welcome from Cobleskill, NY. Escudo is pretty standard bearer worthy.

    Sutliff Pipe Force blends

    It is random. It is kind of a special gift for those who get it.

    Found An Old Folding-Knife Friend

    If I have checked luggage I will. But I may try to do all carry-on because I hate checking thousands of dollars of inventory.

    Found An Old Folding-Knife Friend

    It always astounds me when I meet someone who doesn't have a pocket knife on them. I cannot grasp how they get through life without such a simple tool. It is one of the reasons I prefer to drive everywhere rather than fly. I am not looking forward to flying to the Vegas Pipe Show without my...

    Who Taught You to Smoke a Pipe?

    I'm in the boat of it was me!

    Hesitation to Pay for Smaller Pipes

    I don’t have this problem. I like small pipes so I jump on them when I like them. I actually hesitate with larger pipes because I know they are more likely to collect dust. However, I know this is a perceived issue which is why the Kaywoodie Campus continues to be the most inexpensive Kaywoodie...

    Sutliff Pipe Force Episode I in a Greywoodie Lovat.

    What Kind of Pipes do you Like and Why?

    Cosmic nailed it. Such a diatribe if I were to actually ramble about what I like. So I like a story, or a random thing that stands out to me. Sandblasting is nature and art combined. The right gnarly blast can tell its own story. I have mostly American pipes. Modern and old Kaywoodie...

    How Long Should a Bowl Last?

    While everyone has an opinion, minutes is a bad sign. If a horizontal flame means a torch, or cigar lighter, it sounds like you are just burning tobacco and not smoking a pipe. Try a soft flame and take your time.

    Opinions on "Barrel-Aged" Tobacco

    People seem confused. The tobacco is not oaked like alcohol. Rather, they select a used barrel and the tobacco absorbs the liquid and gases of the alcohol that was oaked. It picks up flavors of the liquor. I can see many have commented without trying one. McClelland Cellar is the big one, of...

    Show Off Your Kaywoodie Pipes

    It is hard to say who was competing with whom. A lot of Kaywoodie finishes were taken by other companies, some were developed independently, and sometimes an employee of a factory moved and took tricks with them.

    Pipe Doesn't Break In

    Briar is unique. I have had a few pipes over the years start flat and stubborn. From very expensive handmade pipes down to inexpensive briar. Always from a brand or maker from whom I never had another problem. It's just the wood sometimes. They all were great after a lot of patience.

    Hand Cut P-Lip.

    That is super impressive.

    Jim's Sutliff Pipe Force Episode IV Review.

    Sorry. It is really good. Burned through my sample pretty quickly. Looking forward to a tin. It reminded me of some of my first English blends, before I went off the deep end and smoked so much Latakia that I became a Virginia addict for years. This made me reminisce about creamy, balanced...
