    Guilty Tobacco Pleasures

    It would be Walnut for me. Although it is a well-known and old codger type tobacco, it is not usually listed on anyone's favorite list. I know there are many that are better smokes than this, but as far as a good, reliable, don't have to think about it smoke, every day, this would be it for me...

    Dad's pipes

    Great story seagull. I didn't take up pipe smoking as a result of finding my dad's or anybody else's pipes, but your story reminds me of when I was a young boy and would spend the night at my grandmother's house. My uncle, her youngest son, was away in the service, and I always loved to look...

    V.V. French Pipe... What Is It?

    I just googled V.V pipe France and found this thread. I had obtained one at a local antique store with the same verbage as yours agnostic. Except mine is a full bent and rusticated, with a dark stain, and although I've had it for several months, I just now got around to trying it out yesterday...

    First Real Pipe Rack!

    Looks great Anthony! I envy you. I would love to have one that size but right now I have like 3 or 4 that hold 4-6 each. I don't have an area big enough to hold a larger one so I have these smaller ones tucked into some tight spots. They're functional. That's all I can say. You've got some good...

    A Date With the Erinmore Twins (Tobacco Review)

    Just curious on the turnouts of some of you other guys who baked your Erinmore Flake tins. How'd they turn out? Also, has anybody tried this with other flakes? Or is the "seasoning" just right in this flake to make it unique?

    24 hours of Daytona ...Yippeee...

    Hope you enjoy it Tinpan. Car racing, Daytona or otherwise, is just not something I have ever gotten into. Family growing up didn't watch it, and I've tried at times, but just got bored. However, kuddos to you and the gi-normous number of people that do enjoy it. Different strokes for different...

    Peterson St. Patty's 2014... And A Dilemma.

    Only you can make that decision, Anthony, but I agree with those that are urging you to go through with it. If the tradition is what you had your heart set on, then stay true to it, and see how it goes. Like you and others have said, it might end up being one of your best smokers, and you may...

    How do you control the case of the TAD/PAD?

    I try to restrict my pipe buying to seconds that I find in antique stores, so I am saving myself some money there. That means there's more for tobacco. I TRY to limit my tobacco purchases to times where there is a good sale going on, or I have found some money I didn't know I had, or where say...

    Humidor Jar

    +1 Cosmic. I have the same thing that I picked up at an antique store. Holds four pipes and about 16 oz. of tobacco in a glass jar with a wooden lid. I put some OTC Admiral's Choice cherry blend from CVS in there to add a nice scent to the bedroom. I did smoke it a couple of times and it wasn't...
