    Short Interview With Gawith

    I was in my local B&M the other day, hoping the Sam Gawith had been restocked. The fellow behind the counter who does all the ordering and deals with the distributors. Flat out said he sincerely doubted Sam Gawith blends would be seen again. Based on what I've read and heard from members of the...

    Pipestud Blog: Red Virginia

    It sounds as if it has a lot to do with how the plants are harvested these days vs. how it used to be done. And how it is now harvested seems to be a result of the Federal Government taking away the financial incentives farmers received to plant tobacco. Mike S.

    Legal to Mail Tobacco to Myself?

    I'm sure it is legal. If your destination is another country where import duties can be applied to what is inside, I doubt Customs gives a hoot what the "From" address is. Render unto Caesar and all that jazz. From a U.S. address to another would probably work, I assume. Mike S.

    Pipestud Blog: Red Virginia

    Nice article. If you ask me, the fiver or so hours on the Pipesmagazine Radio show with Mary and/or Mike McNiel should be required listening for all pipe smokers but, Red Virginia lovers, in particular. Mike S.

    What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]

    We are watching a series on Prime called Fortitude. Pretty bizarre. A small Arctic town under Norwegian rule is beset by a pre-historic sort of plague. Its getting kind of "Lost-like" but, we're in too deep now. lol Mike S.

    Tell Me About Your Grandfather

    My Maternal Grandfather (Grandpa Bob) is what we called him, was the prototypical Type B personality. He lived until I was 21 so, I have many fond memories. My Grandparents lived about an hour from us most of that time and we visited quite often. They were campers and took on a number of two and...

    Chasing Vanishing Pipe Tobaccos

    I'm getting kind of numb to the loss of beloved blends. So many have disappeared since I took up the pipe in 1988. So many right out of the gate. Add to that the ones that changed. Changed enough for me to notice, and I'm no "super taster". I go to the online retail sights and it's difficult to...

    Substitute for Carolina Red Flake

    Legendary as in now it is evident just how difficult it is to put out these fantastic products now that McClelland is no more. If you ask me. Mike S.

    2/8/21: Missing My Pipe ? ☕️

    I've only lost two pipes. Both Dunhills. One was actually pretty "rare". I don't buy Dunhills any longer. Mike S.

    Savinelli Autograph 00 Grade

    Looks to me like a buffing issue. Can't say that with certainty but, the nomenclature on the shank is fading a little too IMHO. Certainly could be a replacement but, it sure looks like an Autograph stem to me. An 00 is a heck of a good looking pipe. Mike S.

    Loewe

    I have one Loewe pipe I bought unsmoked from a shop in Cleveland. It seemed odd to me that the stem had no logo on it. it is a small Prince marked: Left shank: L&Co in oval (over) original Right shank: Loewe (over) London W Bottom shank: CAPTANIDE (over) Made In England I always wondered if the...

    Anyone Getting Macbaren Burley London Blend?

    When I feel I want Burley, I just run down to the local shop and pick up Golden Extra. It does the trick. Mike S.
