    Your Cellar Size

    Thanks cwpiperman! Yes, as you can tell, I'm quite an avid Tolkien fan and I love the slipcased hardback editions. Believe me, as expensive as tobacco is here in Australia, these Tolkien books definitely dip quite deeply into your wallet as well!! Having said that, both are eminently worth it in...

    Glad to be here.

    Hey Bassman65, Greetings from Australia. I too really enjoy churchwarden pipes. I've included a few pics from my collection. The first is a Savinelli 623 (I think) with a bulldog-shaped bowl. The other is a recent purchase of mine. It's a Vauen Auerland Almar pipe, part of Vauen's Lord Of The...

    Your Cellar Size

    I have only been smoking pipes for a relatively short while, in that I started a ways back, stopped, then resumed it again recently. So far I have only got a little collection of tobacco, but I thought I'd share it with you here. As you can see, my little collection is primarily made up of...

    A Good Day...

    Brick and mortar stores have pretty much completely disappeared down here in Australia, so the thrill of stepping into your local tobacconist and surveying their wares is now unobtainable. However, I still get a real buzz when the mail arrives with a bag of tobacco that I have purchased off the...

    Pipes and the BBC

    Yes, it's an absolute disgrace!! Whoever dreamed up Holmes seriously choosing to use patches instead of a pipe?? Holmes is, at heart, something of a social libertarian, a rebel of sorts and the idea that he would not be smoking his beloved pipes in a contemporary era is not only inaccurate...

    Collectors Series and Sets

    Thanks for your thoughts, Vos! Hmmm... medium straight VA Flake?? I like the idea of choosing a flake of some kind... Much to consider now!!!

    Collectors Series and Sets

    I wanted to show off my new Vauen Auerland Almar pipe that I purchased from here in Australia the other day. The bowl is made of briar with a smooth finish, while the stem is made from Beech wood. It sports a short, acrylic mouthpiece at the tip. This is my first Lord OfT The Rings Auerland pipe...

    Maddness in Oz...

    This is such a broad and deep minefield, an absolute can of worms! I've enjoyed reading all your comments here and I can sense the passion boiling up from below the surface. The laws and regulations seem to just box you in and, before you've realised what's happening, you're trapped and cannot...

    Maddness in Oz...

    Hello to you all from here Down Under. Just a quick update, this morning I purchased a 50 gram tin of Peterson's Elizabethan Mixture and a 50 gram tin of Peterson's Irish Cask. This transaction can stand as a general warning to those of you in other nations around the world yet to feel the full...

    Opinion on Peterson System Pipe

    Hey Masterblaster, sending you a welcome from down here in Australia. I'm a relatively new pipe smoker and one of the first pipes I bought was a Peterson system standard 302. It is a beautifully shaped pipe and I still have it as pride of place among my other pipe acquisitions. Good luck with...

    Please "School Me" on Perique.

    Thanks for your reply to this post cosmicfolklore. I'm a new pipe smoker and am yet to try any blends with perique in them. Having said that, I have just this morning placed an order for Peterson's Elizabethan Mixture, so I will soon be having my first encounter with the hallowed perique...
