    Discovered Civil War Veteran Was Pipe Smoker

    He may well have been a pipe smoker - most sailors were in that time - but they may have been more to the evidence than "the mark under his front right tooth". I would bet that the forensic team took a lot more into consideration to reach the conclusion. Further, it's a documented fact* that...

    My Dunhill Service WWII Trench Lighter

    That's a real piece of history. The world will never see entire nations contributing to a war effort again... thankfully!

    Sutliff Charlemagne

    I wanted to re-visit this, since I loaded up the same smoke this morning. Charlemagne in a cob is a just plain tasty. Very mild, and not as tart on the nose as most. Keep in mind what I call "mild", some might call "bland", but if you received a tin of this in your goodie bag give it a try...

    Sutliff Charlemagne

    I had a bowl of Charlemagne this very morning in a well-used MoMeer, and it was a sublime smoke. I got mine in the Goodie Bag, too. While my palate isn't as developed as that of Dragonslayer, I did find it a very tasty and satisfying smoke - in fact, I didn't want it to end. Would I actually...

    Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cobs.. Just Do It!

    I had a transcendent smoke in a Diplomat this morning. Long live the MoMeer cob!

    What Do You All Think Of The Tsuge Bendt Brandy

    My best and favorite pipe is a Tsuge bent bulldog. Good looking, a great smoker, and has a wide bit that fits my big mouth. I hope to add more before the price goes up... So I guess I should say "No! Leave them for me!!"

    What is Your Favorite 'Drug Store' Brand Pipe?

    Very interesting! Never let it be said that I have a closed mind... I'll break out the Brylons and give them a chance. Thanks, men!

    Oh No! Not My Pipe!!!

    I have heard it said that Grabow offers replacement stems, but it may be for the current line only.

    Newest Pipe. First Uncoated Bowl

    That pipe kinda makes me tingle.

    What is Your Favorite 'Drug Store' Brand Pipe?

    I have a Grabow Crown Duke that delivers a fine smoke. I also have a pair of Yello-Bole brylons that I bought as a newbie mistake. But if we are including MMs in the question, my loyalties lie with the cob.

    Jarring in 1 oz. Quantities

    Russ, I would be afraid of mixing flavors with different blends in the same jar. But then, that may be a bonus in some cases! I go the 'belt and suspenders' route. I fill up a gallon baggie and stuff that into the jar!

    Brigadier Black

    Bull Run is my go-to these days. Alamo is a close second. I highly recommend both of them as 'just slightly aromatic'. Gettysburg is good, but the peach flavor will put off a lot of smokers. I smoke it only rarely, only when I am in the mood for that flavor, and it delivers. Waterloo...

    Just Another Simple But Pleasing Smoke

    I like PA alone or mixed with just about anything. It's a perfect neutral, IMHO.
