    Bamboo Stem Care

    Greetings all. I have a rather nice Tsuge billiard with a 2" bit of bamboo as part of the stem How do I care for it? Do I use Obsidian oil (which I use on vulcanite routinely) or bowl polish like Halcyon II wax? Regards Neil

    Is Pipe Tobacco Currently Threatened in USA?

    Curiously ICPR has changed its name and mandate, and now pretty much ignores pipes and are now the “Premium Cigar Association”. I suspect a political move as “flavoured tobacco” raises hackles, and the cigar manufacturers would pretty much throw pipes under the bus, rather than be associated...

    What “Dose” to Keep on Hand to Smoke vs Cellaring.

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I have stashed away prodigious amounts of tobacco - original packaging in totes, and opened/ bulk in jars. I discovered Esoterica bags leaked, and that was start of the decline into hundreds of jars.... (The photos tell the sad story a tobacco...

    Muttonchop Piper

    Wow - didn’t expect all the YouTube stuff..... I was just hoping he’s OK. If anyone is in contact with him, I suspect it would be good for him to know a few pipers are thinking of him and wishing him well.....

    Muttonchop Piper

    Our old friend Chris is missing from YouTube for over a year now. I really enjoyed his "blend club" (although it was really bad for my TAD) Has anyone heard from him? I hope he's doing OK..... He seemed really down during his last video.
