    Zippo Fuel Evaporation Fix

    Nice hack! Wish I would have known about this a while back... Short story time: A few months back I was in a hurry to get to the pipe shop before they closed. I topped off my Zippo lighter in a hurry and threw it in my left front jeans pocket. While driving to the shop I felt an itch that grew...

    Where To Sell; That Is The Question

    I have to confirm that selling on this site is better. The guys here would appreciate and understand what they are buying. I have conducted several transactions here and they have all gone smoothly! Plus, I like thumbing through the pictures of pipes for sale...

    Looking for an XL pipe

    The Savinelli Gigantes line is pretty cool. My personal recommendation would be a Randy Wiley Oak. He does not designate any of them as XL pipes but you can see the 2 1/2-3" bowl depths on most pictures online. I ran into those when I was looking for a larger pipe myself. Good luck!

    Cornell and Diehl - Your Opinion

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I will look through here and see what the top recommended ones are. I will also look at G.L. Pease. The Virginia Cream sounds pretty awesome for an aromatic. I will keep you posted on what the final haul brings.

    Cornell and Diehl - Your Opinion

    Hello, I have exhausted myself trying to find the unobtainable blends and decided to focus on finding easily available blends. I zeroed in on Cornell and Diehl due to the availability and their vast choices. However, this has proven to be a difficult task because their vast choices consists of...

    One Aromatic to Rule Them All???

    L.J. Peretti's Blend 432. It has never let me down when I want a sweet smoke. I hope one day to try the Country Squire's Parsons Blend. Maybe that will take over...

    When Was The Last Time You Bought A Blend That Was New To You?

    I buy a new tin almost every two weeks. I buy it and add it to an ever-changing list of blends I will eventually get through. Last one I purchased was the Wessex Gold Brick. It is a medium Virginia plug (comes wrapped in plastic, not a tin) that is fun to cut up and even more pleasurable to smoke.

    No Nicotine, No Problem

    I smoke on average about 3 times a week, about 3-6 bowls. I often get the "nic-hit" but I do not smoke a blend for that reason. I never smoked cigarettes and enjoy the taste of different blends and trying to figure out differences between the same kind of blend between two companies. I also...

    Any suggestions for custom stems?

    Hello, I am looking at a few estate pipes where the briar can be restored but the stems are too gone to repair. I was wondering if anyone knew a "stem maker" who could make a stem for me if I sent the pipe out to him/her. I have no preference over acrylic/vulcanite/whateverelsecite. Any...

    IPSD 2019

    I plan on smoking a bowl of Aperitif tomorrow out of my newly acquired Randy Wiley Pipe. I will be smoking with my co-worker/pipe smoking buddy after work. I plan on using the discounts to get a couple of tins to try and to stock up on my favorite tobacco. Happy IPSD to all!
