    Do You Smoke Clay Pipes?

    Clay pipes can be a lot of fun. I've got a few very old pieces I like to smoke from occasionally. But if your mouth is already agitated, or raw in any way from having smoked a bowl too many, a clay pipe can be hell on the gums and tongue. Still, my favorite way to enjoy Stonehaven is in a clay...

    New Balkan Sobranie

    Not privileged to say how many we got, but I can say it was less than 50.

    New Balkan Sobranie

    We've just received a very, very small quantity of the newly released Balkan Sobranie. We thought long and hard about the most fair way to get it to as many of you as possible, and in the end we've decided on a 'first come, first serve' attitude. We're limiting the orders to ONE TIN per...

    Penzance

    All the 8oz bags were absorbed by our waiting list, unfortunately. Sad face.

    Penzance

    rickpal14, Pembroke is quite good (it's essentially Margate treated with Cognac) although it's rather rich. Germain is one of my two favorite blenders; they simply produce fantastic stuff.

    Any British car nuts out there?

    I like the 1980s Esprit (who didn't love 'The Spy Who Loved Me'?), but I have to say I like the 1964 Lotus Europa a lot more.

    CORPS Show 2011

    No, not at all! Just clearing it up before it became 'thing'. Be sure to stop by the Smokingpipes.com table and you'll find me.

    CORPS Show 2011

    That's good to hear, Russ. Didn't mean to make anyone think that I didn't want to see anyone but the aforementioned. I was trying to be inclusive when I asked if "anyone" was going, but I also wanted to know if someone from Pipesmagazine.com would be there!

    rolling smoke on the roof of your mouth

    You can use a softy, but the P-Lip is a considerably more large between the teeth than your standard fishtail bit. And just to throw my two-cents into the hat, as I own several myself, I've never felt the P-Lip increases my ability to sniff out a smoke's flavor. Besides, all smoke rises, even...

    rolling smoke on the roof of your mouth

    romeowood has it. It's a term cigar smokers coined as the 'retrohale'. The French inhale does something similar, by getting smoke into the back of the nasal sinus. If you were to retrohale in front of a mirror you'll see smoke exhale through your nostrils. This technique doesn't involve...

    Info on Comoys Canadian shape

    strave19 has it. The Everyman is one of Comoy's many 'second' line of pipes. Probably has a fill or two, is all.
