    Smoking Savinelli Filter Pipes Without Filter: Adapter or Not?

    Another vote for no filter, no adapter. I use a tapered pipe cleaner in the event it starts to collect moisture mid smoke. I also spend a little more time on the monthly pipe cleanings (more like whenever I get a chance) and bend an Everclear soaked pipe cleaner and really work the filter...

    Apertif

    Some of you may know how much I love Aperitif. I have worked my way into a decent stash of aperitif, durbar, and nightcap. It was not easy or cheap but I have enough to last me my lifetime. As I describe it to my buddies, all three have a similar “base flavor” but they seem to each venture off...

    Apertif

    I think they have some similar flavors but they are still different blends. I say open them both up and bounce back between blends as you wish. Life is too short to smoke just one blend at a time...

    Knock-off 55’s

    I did it! I got a Moretti!!! First off, Marco is a super friendly and very attentive proprietor. He communicated with me via email throughout the whole process and was always very courteous and respectful! He made my pipe in a few days and in 2 days, I was smoking it! Great man, great shop and...

    Knock-off 55’s

    This is what I am looking for! I like the shape but they always seem to be a bit out of reach for me. I will keep an eye on this moretti for a bit. Thank you!

    Knock-off 55’s

    Good morning, I have been online since Christmas trying to find a Castello Shape 55 sea rock with a smooth rim. I can not find one (new or estate) for a decent price so I am coming to you guys. I have been on ebay but the estate pipes wind up selling for close to a new one! Do any of you know...

    Recommendation: Scottish Mixtures

    Any Rattray's, really. Jock's, Highland Targe, 3noggins, red rapp... Figuring out what a “Scottish Blend” is, is part of the battle. I like a local shop’s “English” but it clearly has some cavendish but no added topping. John Bull’s Royal English has a sweetness to it but is considered an...

    Recommendation: Scottish Mixtures

    Hello, I am looking for some recommendations for a “Scottish Mixture”. I prefer to smoke english blends 99% of the time. However, I tend to enjoy the blends that have a bit of sweetness to them like John Bull and others. I recently tried a John Aylesbury english and loved it. However, for the...

    Peterson Meet Granger; Granger, Peterson.

    I have several Peterson pipes, most are the bent system versions and one billiard. I enjoy them for what they are but I wish they still made some of the old shapes still. Excellent shape choice and beautiful pipes! Enjoy!

    What's Your Favorite Drink While Smoking Your Pipe?

    When I try a new blend I give it a chance by drinking mineral water with a bit of lemon juice squeezed in. I tend to bounce between water, coffee, teas and beers depending on the time of day or day of the week. I tend to stay away from spirits because they can often overpower the tastebuds and...

    It Could Be A Good Time For Adopting Rescue Pets

    I agree. A few years ago, we wanted a dog that would help “guard” the place so we rescued, what we thought was a Belgian Malinois but turned out to be a docile German Shepherd mix. It is all good since all we ask of him is to show himself to strangers that come to our house. He is a polite...

    Zoom Pipe Club...

    Hello everyone! I made a dumb suggestion and some folks liked it so I have to see it through! We are thinking of doing a Zoom Video Conference meeting so we can all open our Secret Santa 2020 gifts in front of each other. I figure we have to complete these steps to make it happen: 1. Choose a...
