    A Question About Anthology 2023

    I would have smoked that without hesitation 😂 Glad there are experts smarter than I out there! Greatly appreciate this thread - I’ve got a good dozen tins of this stored away, I’ll keep an eye out in the years/decades down the road as I slowly dip into the reserves.

    I'm Back, MSO 489

    Serves me right for not perusing the forum this past week, I am beside myself with delight to see that you’ve found your way back here! What a welcome surprise!

    What are You Reading Now?

    Just browsed through the first few pages online, this looks right up my alley! Ordered, thanks mate :)

    What are You Reading Now?

    Currently reading Two Years Before the Mast! Spending a week on a tropical beach, and I wanted a story that complimented the atmosphere. A (to my landlubber sensibilities) delightfully authentic tale about a two year voyage around the Horn of South America, full of salt and all things nautical...

    We've gone feral, it's been too long since someone posted their haul!

    Favorite Christmas Gift

    Nothing like a new pet to ring in the new year! My girlfriend and I just picked up this little lad a week or two before Christmas and it certainly made the season more festive!

    Hi all, from Ontario

    Welcome from Ottawa! Please do share your growing experience this year with us, I’d love to see how it develops - I know we had a pretty established tobacco industry in Ontario but I’ve never tried growing myself!

    Canadian Eh?

    Welcome from Ottawa (don’t hold it against me)! Always nice to see a fellow leaf here. Those are some beautiful pipes, I’m particularly fond of that gorgeous little cutty! Fantastic stuff

    New Year's Day Traditions

    No food traditions, but we do make lemon pigs for good luck and there’s usually a good amount of hair of the dog involved. I always try to make enough leftovers of snacky NYE food so I can be lazy and recover on New Year’s Day. I don’t drink heavily, but even a couple of drinks has me feeling...

    SPC Price Points

    I think you’re right on the money - the black packaging with gold filigree telegraphs their product positioning on the luxury side of the spectrum, which makes sense when you look at the brands Sutliff owns. Aside from SPC, I don’t believe they have anything in the premium space, with most of...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***

    KBV Burley Morning Pipe in my MM cutty, with a nice cappuccino - this is some damn good stuff! I’m a sucker for a chocolatey, nutty burley in the morning with my coffee (my very first blend was amphora original aroma, which is very much in that vein). Going to have to order some more this year...

    It smells excellent - I’ll be enjoying it with a cappuccino this morning! Been looking forward to it all night 😄 The girlfriend told me in no uncertain terms I must smoke it inside, she’s clearly a fan!

    🎄The Official Unofficial PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2023 🎅

    I’ve been saying since the start that the real joy of PMSS is in the giving, not the receiving, but the joy of receiving this trove of absolute killer blends is pretty hard to beat! This is a beautiful mix of some of my all time favorite blends, and blends that I’ve been looking to try for ages...

    🎄The Official Unofficial PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2023 🎅

    My package arrived before the new years long weekend, it’s a PMSS miracle! I have company over for a little while so I can’t sneak away to open it up, but I’ll be updating shortly. What a fantastic surprise, I’m thrilled!

    Are We Too Casual?

    I’m convinced semicolons are a scam perpetuated by Big Keyboard ™️ to pad out the number of keys

    How Many Bowls do You Smoke a Day?

    Normally 0.5-2 per day, but it’s been down to one a week or so the last two months. Got a new puppy and I rarely find the time anymore between the various things I’m taking care of. More a time management issue than anything, but I’m looking forward until the boy is a little older and can be...

    Are We Too Casual?

    I genuinely think we’re intentionally shown the worst kinds of people in media to keep us hating our neighbours rather than our leaders. It has been my experience that the vast majority of people I interact with any given day are decent, good people, and that people who hold views other than...

    Your Significant Other’s Preferred Blend?

    Mine tends to hate aromatics, but loves sweet oily Virginias and the absolute stankiest campfire-y latakias. Doubly loves the smell on my beard afterwards. It’s funny, I try to smoke outdoors and wash my face, and brush my teeth after each smoke, but if she had her way I would be blowing the...

    Good things come to those who wait! The way I see it, our sacrifice is extending the SS thread to pad the length out. Maybe next year I’ll route my package through China and back to keep 2024’s thread going until July!

    MSO489

    In the future I’m going to choose a hobby enjoyed primarily by healthy teenagers. I’m too delicate for the stress of worrying over our community cornerstones. MSO was actually the user who converted me from a silent lurker to a fledgling participant - after all, a group that managed to snag that...
