    Just Learned that my Great-Grandfather Smoked a Pipe!

    I hope you find one of his pipes also and maybe a clue as to what tobacco he smoked. I only knew my step-grandfather on my mother's side and he was a pipe smoker. After he passed in 1979, my aunt gave me three of his pipes. I kept one and gave the other two to my two sons. He smoked George...

    C&D Golden Days of Yore is out

    I think McClelland's Christmas Cheer was the only straight Virginia Christmas blend. It was good but didn't make me think of Christmas. I also have three tins of C&D's Jolly Old St. Nicholas and one Corn Cob Pipe & A Button Nose. Personally, I prefer the Rattray's Winter Editions (made by...

    C&D Golden Days of Yore is out

    I will pass on this one also. I was just resorting my cellar and found that I have two tins from the 2017 release. I may just open one of them this year.

    Savinelli Saint Nicholas 2024 🎅🏼

    Nothing about those pipes even whispers "I'm a Christmas pipe." I like Savinellis but I don't like the stems on those.

    Don't Purchase Meerschaum From This Retailer!! Buyer Beware

    Do you know for sure that this is Turkish Meerschaum? "Meerschaum deposits have been discovered in various parts of the world such as France, Spain, Morocco, the Republic of South Africa, Greece, and even the United States" according to several websites. From what I've been told, meerschaum...

    SSJONES Life Update

    There are plenty of "professional" yard maintenance guys who will cut and trim your yard. The cost will vary based on how professional they are and what they include in their services. Some will even tend your flower garden.

    SSJONES Life Update

    When I was growing up in SE Texas we were constantly battling red ants and found that you put poison on one anthill they just build a new one somewhere else in a day or two. One of the elderly women living near us said the best way was to poor a gallon of boiling water on the hill. The ants...

    SSJONES Life Update

    PM sent on the fountain issue. By the way, you look like you could be related to one of our New Orleans Pipe club members who happens to live in Mandeville. You have the same follically challenged hair style.

    Tasting Pipe... Then What?

    Not so much a "tasting" pipe but mine are more along the line of a "sampling pipe".

    PipesAndCigars.Com: Are They Trustworthy?

    Here's the deal... P&C is a big company which sells products to thousands of pipe and cigar smokers. Probably 10s of thousands. Just because a few forum members have had problems with them doesn't make them a bad company trying to rip-off customers. Do they occasionally have customer service...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    I was in Metairie today so I stopped at Mayan Imports to have a cigar. Then I found a blend I don't remember seeing before, Wessex Campaign so I decided to try a tin. I opened it and found it to be very long dark brown flakes that were bent in half to fit inside the tin. It is extremely wet...

    Meerschaum - Don't Touch?

    I do believe that a discussion on Meerschaum Myths existed on this forum a long time ago. This was probably covered in that thread. Edit: Found it. https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/meerschaum-myths.2808/

    Solitary or Social Smoker?

    Child, please. Being 50 doesn't make you old. Hell, there are probably a large number of us who wish we were "only 50 years old."
