    Smoker’s Pride Cherry Cavendish

    Super Value English Mixture by Sutliff/Dream Castle has both perique and latakia, $5 a pouch. Quite an anomaly and a decent smoke, though I like Best of the Rest English more. Classic Blend is my favorite by Smoker's Pride. I find these tobaccos aren't goopy like other value brands. I have...

    Dunhill Clones With Least Latakia

    I am four bowls into my first tin of Piccadilly Circus... I'll probably smoke out of this tin almost exclusively until its gone. I'm not extremely well versed on orientals, but my current favorite English and/or Balkans are C&D Super Balkan, EMP, Presbyterian, and PS English Oriental if that...

    Interesting places near Baltimore Maryland?

    Last time I went to the aquarium was about a year ago, as long as you go when there aren't to many people it still is pretty amazing. I went on a weekend once and there was barely enough space to see most of the exhibits. Probably the most crowded place I've ever been besides front stage at a...

    Any Experience with Cheap, No-name Cobs?

    My father in law had one of these. about 1/3rd of the bowl was below the shank. The way MM does it sure does taste bad at the end of the first few smokes, but you don't have 6oz of dottle for every pound of tobacco you smoke. I filled his with pipe mud, it took a lot and added noticeable...

    Lancaster Farming: Tobacco Harvest Time

    HAHA Last time I was in Lancaster county my family and I visited pubic library, there were several computers with Amish using the internet. Horse-drawn buggies parked outside lol. They still have the benefit of not being tethered to it 24 hrs a day I suppose.

    Shipping Costs for Pipes

    Usually when I order a pipe, I order it from a place that offers free shipping. If the price of the pipe is less than the free shipping threshold, I add enough tobacco to the cart to get free shipping. My sweet spot is zero. Pipes to me are still just an instrument to enjoy tobacco, though I...

    Lord of the rings pipe

    Or a halfling wizard, who uses it to cast Hypnotic Pattern. Now you just need to figure out how to make your tobacco burn colored smoke.

    Praise for Vauen Customer Service

    https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/replacement-stem-for-brigham.99855/ It sounds like Brigham won't even send one if you wanted to pay for it, which is understandable due to needing to be fitted, but if I can a replacement original for cheap (or free), and without sending my pipe off...

    Praise for Vauen Customer Service

    That's amazing! Stark contrast from the recent post about a Brigham replacement stem. Vauen is now on my list of next pipes to buy, thanks for sharing!

    Buying pipes overseas into US

    I agree, when it's not from people just trying to get a post count. I believe a person doing it just for numbers are wasting their own time, and consequently ours too. If you find the entertainment value to be worth it regardless, I guess you have less wasted time than I do, HAHA the joke's on...

    Buying pipes overseas into US

    Would you rather have a new guy making pointless posts saying "welcome, I'm new here too" and telling everyone what they're smoking for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a week just so they can finally ask their actual question? Seems like a waste of time LOL. What do I know though, I'm still...

    Went to the Food Pantry

    You made me think: if I was homeless I'd have a $7 Missouri Pride corn cob and a $14.99 pound bag of Best of the Rest English in a burlap knapsack. For $22 I'd be smoking for months! There are plenty $300 and month cigarette smokers visiting food banks and soup kitchens. Pipe smoking can be...

    Tobacco Reviews Website Update

    I don't think they ever put much thought, planning, or QA in the old version either. Some people still gave it a lot of clicks though. Low input for output, maybe the folks at TR are smarter than we think... Here we are buzzing about it and people are going back and forth checking it and...

    Went to the Food Pantry

    I think food pantries are absolutely necessary and a great resource. My family has both donated to and volunteered in food pantries. That being said, I see a lot of people with nicer things than my family has (cars, cell phones, clothes, etc) utilizing these resources. I struggled with the...

    Leather Tobacco Pouch

    I have a Viking leather tobacco pouch from P&C. I have used it in my back pocket like a wallet quite a few times and its holding up and wearing in well. It's been my daily pouch almost exclusively for about 8 months, pocket or not. The leather is thicker than other pouches, and the stitching...

    Buying pipes overseas into US

    I have no idea, but at a glance it seems to me that eBay's legal team is correct. I will commiserate you by telling you that I trust USPS workers as much as I trust the crackhead on the corner to deliver something for me. My last experience with them was an $8k shipment of 56 knives that I...

    Who Loves Dan Aromatics?

    It wasn't until this thread that I remembered I smoked a tin of Da Vinci last year... that may also be a factor as to why you don't see a lot of Dan aro reviews. I thought it was good, but not spectacular, I moved on and forgot about it as others may also have done. Every time I see the name...

    Beginner's Pipes.

    Well, this thread took quite a different turn than the last one I remember participating in in regards to cobs... where the idea conveyed was that people who smoked cobs are lazy... ;) I have started a few folks out on them and lets just say if you recommend a cob, you just earned yourself a...

    Upset by Intolerance to Latakia

    I have recently decided that Virginia blends taste superior to me than most English tobaccos for a non-aromatic. I only crack a jar of English once in a while now days. Maybe jar all your englishes and do the same with a few... if your intolerance goes away, great. If not, I'm sure you can...
