    Presbyterian Mixture

    I agree with Brian that Presbyterian Mixture is an excellent product. I really like it. Another great English is Peterson Wild Atlantic. Highly recommended.

    Thom Provost Co-Hosts Radio Show of May 15, 2018

    I really enjoyed hearing Thom, and I always learn from him. I wish him and his family peace in their trying time. Well done, Brian and Kevin!

    Indeed. I can't wait to get it.

    My Dad's Humidor

    This was dad's pipe-tobacco humidor. (He died in 1985.) My brother, who is sending it to me, says it still has tobacco in it. He smoked Captain Black, Granger, and Briggs, among other tobaccos.

    Does Anyone Recognize This Pipe?

    UPDATE: I spoke by phone with an employee of Georgetown Tobacco who worked there back then. He told me he consulted with someone else there about the pipe and they could not be sure which of the many houses they dealt with this one came from. Alas. I see Savinelli too.

    A Gift from My Father About 50 Years Ago

    I do not save it for special occasions. It's too special for that.

    Prince of Wales Bulldog

    The bowl is certainly the biggest I have or among the biggest. My arms aren't large. :)

    Prince of Wales Bulldog

    Twenty years ago I bought this bulldog from a fellow pipe-forum member. I recall paying about 20 bucks. After some research today I learned (from Pipedia.org and Pipephil.eu) that it's a GBD sub-brand, Prince of Wales. It says that and "Hand Made" on the shank. The acrylic stem sports the flag...

    Does Anyone Recognize This Pipe?

    Nearly 30 years ago I bought this pipe at Georgetown Tobacco in Washington, D.C. It couldn't have cost more than $60. On one side of the shank it says, "Georgetown"; on the other, "Imported Briar." No country of origin is given. The inner rim is beveled. I would like to know who made the pipe. I...

    Episode 293

    I was pleased to see how Gene Umberger's story parallels my own. My father gave me a pipe and a pouch of Middleton Cherry Blend when I was about 15 (over 50 years ago) to keep me away from cigarettes. I guess it worked, though I left Cherry Blend a long time ago. Thanks for the interview, Brian...

    Per Jensen of Mac Baren on Radio Show of May 1, 2018

    Kevin, I listened to the interview overnight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Per is fascinating. By the way, my appreciation of Mac Baren products (Navy Flake, Plumcake, and Scottish Blend especially), which I've known about since the 1960s, grows by the day.

    Italian-made with a Danish touch

    Maybe it's more a Rhodesian.

    Italian-made with a Danish touch

    The pipe is very light, and it smokes wonderfully, though I am still breaking it in.

    Italian-made with a Danish touch

    My latest is a Molina Appia. I'd say it's a bent apple with a Danish touch. I love it.
