    Margate. Isn’t It the Cats Meow!

    Yes. I brought some with me to Nova Scotia and plan on lighting some up this week. To be honest, I’ve enjoyed every Esoterica blend I’ve been lucky enough to get a hold of thus far; I especially enjoy Pembroke.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    The pipe is awesome, but I have to admit the tiny beach chair it’s sitting in is stealing the show.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Having Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake in a Porsche Design P'3613 Horn. Your post certainly reminded me I hadn’t used mine since 2023 (too many pipes, I guess).

    Hu Drop at SP

    I’m not sure if you saw the post on the other page, but Sykes Wilford, the founder of smokingpipes.com explained what the release plan for the HU blends was going to be (which seems perfectly reasonable bringing a brand to a new market for the first time—plus it sounds like the choice was made...

    This is Just Bananas.

    I suspect she might have a problem with my 2003 self-portrait.

    Luxury Estates or Excellent New Pipes?

    My philosophy is I buy what I enjoy. Everything within that is flexible and mutable. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a no name pipe from France, or a commission from a major brand; sometimes a pipe’s history is what appeals to me; sometimes it’s the grain of its wood; sometimes it’s because it’s...

    🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

    You mean you didn’t get your Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader that’s permanently embedded in a 5,000 gram metal block? I can’t be the only one.

    SOM BESTHS CHARACTER Coincidence? I think not.

    Filters; No Filters; and Resting

    The finish of late production Savinelli pipes do not take kindly to water or saliva—I avoid water rinses for this reason. If it works without detriment for other people, more power to them, but I learned the hard way and water rinse is a hard “no” in my book.

    Maker of this Pipe?

    That (SP 2011?) looks hand cut and not stamped, so it’s unlikely a carver who necessarily does any high volume (that said, Boswell pipes might be hand signed as opposed to stamped, and he’s prolific); the shaping looks kind of crude and amorphous (no graceful lines and transitions), so it could...

    RIP Timothy West Aged 90.

    Sorry to hear this—to be honest, when I first saw the title, I thought this was about the pipemaker, Tim West, and thought, “I had no idea he was that old!” I’m not sure I’ve seen enough UK television to be certain I’ve seen this actor.

    Jim's Savinelli 145th Anniversary 2024 Review.

    Problem solved. I just called smokingpipes.com to find out if I missed this re-release. It goes on sale next week, on Wednesday, November 20th.

    Jim's Savinelli 145th Anniversary 2024 Review.

    What time did this go on sale? I would’ve thought 6:00 pm EST. It say it’s sold out. Did I miss this?

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Having Cornell & Diehl Exclusive (courtesy of @PaulRVA ) in my “Second Chance” pipe, a sandblasted Savinelli Autograph Fan (with a finger hole).

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Going to have @Humblepipe Silverado Fire (stoved Black Virginia, Dark Fired Burley, 10% Exotics, in Maker’s Mark) in an HS Studio Sandblasted Eskimo while I watch dart vids from the 2024 Machineseeker European Championship in Dortmund. I love the visual aesthetic of the Eskimo shape, but I have...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Still watching the 2024 Gambrinus Czech Darts Open. Having Cornell & Diehl Star of the East Flake in an HS Studio Sandblasted Freehand Chubby Author Nosewarmer. I couldn’t resist this cute little pipe. Here it is, next to a Savinelli Series III 320 to get a sense of its scale and proportion:

    Having L. J. Peretti Tashkent in a Savinelli Autograph 5 Dark Sandblasted Fan with fluted black acrylic stem while I catch up with vids from the 2024 Gambrinus Czech Darts Open. I love the ring grain on this pipe:
