    Ever Hate a Pipe for Reasons Other Than the Way It Smokes?

    Yes. I hated my Brigham 316 because the company refused to communicate with me over email. So to get revenge, I rusticated it! Now it's my Latakia pipe and I like it much better. I also boycott Brigham products and imports. They make crap pipe cleaners and I refuse to buy any tobacco they...

    Pipes and Paraphernalia Patina Porn Thread.

    Oh fine then! I keep my flintlock barrel "in the white" which means there is no protective coating of any kind on the metal of the barrel. The lock and frizzen are case hardened of course. I use brick dust and olive oil to clean it. I've never opened the case and found rust, only after a...

    Pipes and Paraphernalia Patina Porn Thread.

    I could argue with you about the difference between neglect and use, but I was hoping that this thread would just be pics of pipe related stuff that people have owned for a long time and are showing their age in an aesthetically pleasing way. Silly expectation.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2021?***

    SG Navy Flake in a Legend cob. Has about a year of age on it and enough plume to put Tony Montana facedown in a fountain.

    Pipes and Paraphernalia Patina Porn Thread.

    I'll start us off. Pictured here is my Zippo lighter with pipe insert after a month or two of use and my first cob. The patina on the lighter is a combination of carbon scoring, fuel (most likely) and thumb scrapes from when I flick the flint. No notable nicks, dents or dings on the case...

    Pipes and Paraphernalia Patina Porn Thread.

    That's right! A thread dedicated to the buildup of wear and tear and the ravages of time on pipes and pipe paraphernalia! Please only post pictures of patina you yourself have caused or have come to own, whether by inheritance or savvy purchase or strange dumb luck or any combination thereof...

    Same here. It's why I don't have time for hobbies.

    Fuel Flavored Tobacco

    Let the flame burn for a second after lighting and don't hold it too far sideways. If you turn it too far the fuel comes out the wick just the same as when you're filling it and you get a few drops coming out.

    Building Your Cellar - Things To Consider

    I have some of these blends mentioned in my collection now, thanks to a forum member. I keep thinking I'm going to save some, but I know I'm going to smoke it all to see what I want to get more of! In the meantime though, I have discovered Sutliff makes some capable bulk blends. Their broken...

    Canadians: Where Do You Get Your Pipe Cleaners?

    I probably just need to go in with my beard on, that way they'll see all my grey hairs and realize I'm a serious pipe smoker. I typically only go in for a bit of Kendal Twist now and then.

    Canadians: Where Do You Get Your Pipe Cleaners?

    I'd say maybe we will run into each other there, but alas... Tis the snooty tobacconist. I try to limit my exposure.

    Memorial Day

    That debt can be paid, just takes a trip to the recruiting center. But you're absolutely correct, it's a hard one to follow up on.

    Pack It To The Brim, Or Not?
