    "Accidentally" Aged Tins - Smoke or Save?

    If you are interested in trying one, then pop the tin and smoke it! Those tobacco's have some nice age on them and should be a nice smoke. Like Sable said, they're not going to get any better, so pop a tin and enjoy.

    Favorite Holiday Blends?

    I still have some McClelland Christmas Cheer - 2017, and I recently picked up some Rattray's Winter Edition. I don't have a go to Holiday blend, but I usually smoke my aromatics more during the holiday season.

    I love Savinelli pipes. I really like the 616 shape. Currently smoking my 616KS Onda (smooth). It's excellent for English/Latakia blends.

    Cob Hazing.

    I used to have about 15 MM corn cob pipes; after buying a couple and liking them, I bought a MM grab bag of 2nds and built up my collection of cobs. Years ago, I used to smoke them a fair amount, but as I got more into meerschaum pipes, and started collecting those my briars and cobs became...

    Meerschaum - Don't Touch?

    I always handle my meers, just like my briars. Yes, on a few of them you can tell where I hold them, but that's after years of smoking them. For me those marks are just part of the process and gives character to the pipe. While it's true your hands have oils on them, I don't believe the oils...

    How do you Hold your Pipe?

    When I'm not clenching my pipe, which I switch from left to right, but mainly clench on my right side, I typically hold my pipe in my left hand. My table next to my chair is on the right, so I use my right hand to grab my coffee or move my CPU mouse around. Though I do hold my pipe in my right...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    About to light up my "new to me," estate pipe from Iwan Ries. We went to Chicago last week for our 25th Anniversary and the kids 18th birthday. The wife picked out this 1960s era IRC leather wrapped pipe, and I grabbed some 3 Star Royale and some Old Colonial. Such a cool shop, and I could have...

    Matches? Matches? We Need More Stinkin’ Matches!

    I don't use matches too often but will at times. I like the ceramic match/striker holder. May have to get one of those. As for collecting matchbooks, I try to collect them from the different pipe and cigar shops I visit. Preferably with the shops logo on it instead of a logo from a cigar...

    In Memory of Matches860

    John was one of my first followers in the YTPC and gave me a big shout out after I started my channel. We communicated at times, and he was a very genuine person. He had great knowledge of the pipes and tobacco's and always provided great information. Better than that were his stories. He...
