    I Would Like To Defer To The Vast Experience Of This Group

    The only order I personally would go in would be to go for the Latakia-based blends first. Sure, there must be older Latakia blends that are still stand-up blends, but your blends have had a nice long wait, and with something as special as Syrian is now, I’d tuck into them to see what I could...

    The Country Squire Fans - Let's Talk

    I spent time with Old Toby and Rivendell, but Old Toby is damn sweet, and the perique is just a little too noticeable for me. Still smokable, and I will smoke what I have left, past then, who knows. Can color up a meer like crazy. I wanted to love Rivendell too, and it’s not bad, it’s just not...

    Didimauw's One Meer for One Year Redemption. 12/15/2022

    Keep on keeping on. I’m not a lattice meer person myself, but damn do they look stunning when they colour up.

    What is your "Grail" pipe??

    In the earlier years of my pipe smoking, I found myself having to choose between two Savinelli pipes for VA’s. I made my choice, and it has haunted me ever since. The pipe I didn’t pick was a smooth New Art billiard with a saddle-bit stem, looked perfect for VA’s, and it couldn’t have been more...

    Has Cringle Lost its Luster?

    It keeps having perique in it.

    Your Cellar Size

    Maybe five pounds? I soon hope to put enough away to keep me for at least midway into my life, but at two bowls a day for safety, even in smaller pipes, that is a shit ton very sizable amount. But, that’s just really just hoping. The reality of the matter is that most of the pipe tobaccos I...

    Is Stonehenge Flake Gone?

    Hope not, really decent stuff. To my memory it’s one of the few VA flakes, let alone blends, with perique that I found to be good. Seems to be out of stock practically everywhere, if not totally. Have we lost another one, or is another batch coming?

    Ran Into A Guy Smoking a Pipe

    Speaking as a younger man, I do keep away from the public. I’m not a total recluse, I openly smoke on the front porch off a busy road, and generally putter about rather visibly, I’d imagine. Hell, if the fancy strikes me and I’ve the means, a nice place to, and perhaps some friends who also do...

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    My package just arrived, and you’d be damned if you think I’m gonna let it sit there for weeks without opening it. I don’t care what you think, I won’t let my fellow members go another moment without peeping some goodies. A wonderful selection of tobacco with a few having a few years of age on...

    My package just arrived, and you’d be damned if you think I’m gonna let it sit there for weeks without opening it. I live to watch them get opened here, and I won’t let my fellow members go another moment without peeping some goodies. A wonderful selection of tobacco with a few having a few...

    Show off Your Meerschaum Claws Here!

    I understand the disbelief, but believe me, it’s true. I even keep a tally counter app just for it. You see, I don’t smoke more than a bowl or two per day at best, and after smoking the gamut of meerschaum grades and seeing how mind-bendingly slow it is for most to noticeably color, I’ve...

    Show off Your Meerschaum Claws Here!

    Bah, humbug, he’s got nothing to worry about, his pipe is plenty purdy.

    Show off Your Meerschaum Claws Here!

    My Altinay, new - And now at 31 bowls smoked, As much of a geek as I am, I never felt the urge to seek out a claw, just saw a meer with the telltale signs that it would color quickly and interestingly, so I picked it up.

    Christmas

    I’ll join in with others here who’ve said the same, Country Squire’s Figgy Pudding and Cordial Friends are fantastic. As great of an all-day aromatic smoke as I’ve ever had, and I regularly buy around a pound each to tide me over until next Christmas. For a person who generally doesn’t lean...

    Sad News, Harris Has Passed

    I’m aware I’m quite the quiet member by comparison to most others who, like me, are here almost every other hour of the day, but, I’ll certainly miss seeing his posts around. Though most of us come off as quite the characters here, I always saw him as a venerable one. I hope his passing came...

    Whatcha Smokin' for the Holidays?

    I bought two tins of McClelland’s Holiday Spirit, my all-time favorite blend. One as a gift to a close friend, and one to share with my father, it should be a nice holiday season. I’d like to think that I’ll be having more in the future, but it’s just too costly, and I worry about it losing...
