    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    I just opened the box. It was far more generous than I expected. It looks like a little extra cheer is being spread all over this morning amongst the pipemen of the world. Thank you secret Santa, and merry Christmas to all you guys. I really appreciate how much you all have made me feel welcomed...

    Forever Unfaithful

    I smoke one blend 97% of the time. (Poplar camp) It has changed over the years though. I had no idea how many there were until maybe 8 years ago. I tried what was at the store till I found a good one, and smoked the pipes that cvs or Walgreens had on the shelves. Mostly Prince Albert or half and...

    I must be doing something wrong.....

    Oddly enough, I smoke exclusively half and half and then Prince Albert for 15 years. It was what my older male relatives smoked

    I must be doing something wrong.....

    I tried a stop and think about what I was doing recently because I have a brother who is learning. I was trying explain it him. I messed it up lol. My general method is as follows: open pouch, drop pipe in with bowl parallel to tobacco level, give it a shake to fill, smoosh some more in with...

    I must be doing something wrong.....

    I had an issue with a pipe that I thought I had lost in a move similar to yours. It had been in an old cigar box for years when I found it, and smoked sour once it warmed up. Of course, I didn’t clean it thoroughly before it got stored long term. After a deep cleaning with alcohol and a rest, it...

    Personally I’m not big on the inserts. They do work, but they’re not necessary

    Thanks to the Pipes Magazine Radio Show!

    My Wednesday morning for years at work is pipe podcast time. Pipes mag, and then country squire. It wouldn’t be the same without them. If I ever meet any of these fellas, I owe them a round at the very least.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

    A mixture of Peterson Irish flake, haunted bookshop, old joe krantz, three nuns, exhausted rooster, autumn evening, HH Acadian perique, old dark fired RR, 4noggins Weybridge and Stokkebye breakfast blend in a large unknown lumberman of London England make. I blended it myself from the leavings...

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

    Something called ”revenge of the shire” I got from ct valley tobacconist when I bought a pipe there today. It’s a sort of berry and chocolate maybe? In a MM legend.

    Do you prefer the 1st or 2nd half of bowl better?

    You too, huh? I think it’s a conspiracy

    Sewing Thimble As Tamper

    It’s a great idea, but the finger does work well too. Czech tools are kind of king for simplicity in my book though.

    Do you prefer the 1st or 2nd half of bowl better?

    I a 4th 5th man myself. Just when it get really rich before it goes a bit acrid sometimes. Of course, there is much to be said for the 3rd 5th…

    Interesting Perique video

    From the comments, this was shot at Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, USA some years ago. Might be worth a try as a project.

    Family Insults

    I’ve been an old man for at least 20 yrs haha. And been smoking a pipe about 25. I’m not sure age means much once you’re an adult. I think pipe smoking was advertised using the grandfather, scholar, refinement and tradition sort of ideas awhile back. Maybe it stuck.
