    Small Sample Company?

    Thank you. I am very careful with new things. I have a very well defined sense of value. You may like it but that does not mean I will. Do your thing be a chicken wing.

    Small Sample Company?

    1). I used to smoke cigars but the quality of them was so poor that I stopped. The one cigar that I liked is impossible to find now. My taste in pipe tobacco can not be swayed by the New Kid in Town advertising. I am immune to that disease. It helps that I smoke about once a week. I have...

    Small Sample Company?

    I am trying to prevent from becoming a hoarder of tobacco. I already have hoarding problems of other things. I can tell by the second bowl. Doing the same thing but expecting different outcomes each time is too close to crazy for me.

    Small Sample Company?

    I have traded pipes for tobacco before. This was before I was able to post to Sell/Swap thread. It was awesome. I just need to know if I like the blend before I order enough to jar. I prefer to get bulk blends. I have a box of empty tins in my closet that I need to do something with. What...

    Small Sample Company?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I am interested in a long list of tobacco blends but do not want a ton of jars hanging around in my closet. 3/4 of my cellar is just jars of blends that do not trip my trigger. Don’t have space or time for that crazy. So does anyone out there...

    Yikes! Now This Is A Burnout

    I remember that back in my youth an older neighbor caught his hippie son smoking the other green thing in his old pipe. What a scandal!

    How Often?

    Do you wake and burn a bowl? Pipe in your mouth all day? Cup of coffee and a pipe before anyone can talk to you? I have been averaging a pipe a week if it is nice outside. I do not Lunt. I sit smoke my pipe and watch the local wildlife. Nothing is out of the question. Estate. Church...

    Dr Grabow Westbrook Manufacture Date?

    I understand. I have an estate pipe that has had a very hard life and the rim is gone. Also a Dr.Grabow. Rustication is almost smooth and double carved bands are worn down. It is just a mess. It deserves a retirement in my pipe drawer.

    How Glossy or Shiny Do You Like Your Pipes ?

    Cleaned up with magic eraser. Cold beeswax applied and melted in with a candle. Wipe off extra with old soft bandanna.

    How Glossy or Shiny Do You Like Your Pipes ?

    I have resurrected stems worse than that. Mr. clean magic Eraser and beeswax. No power tools.

    Dr Grabow Westbrook Manufacture Date?

    Could that be banded?

    How Glossy or Shiny Do You Like Your Pipes ?

    All my pipes are estates. So being shiny and pretty is not my thing. The only wax is beeswax and it is for the stems. Oxidation will happen and mud brown is ?.

    Holiday Blends 2020

    McClelland Holiday Spirit is really good but I have only one tin and rationing has been employed. Several of my favorite blends are available in bulk. The box of empty tins is getting out of control in the bottom of my closet. My big problem is that I like to smoke aromatic holiday blends all...

    Starter Tobacco

    My big problem is that I came back to pipes after more than 20 years. I have no time for something that does not grab me off the bat. Bold is good. Some burleys give me problems so I stay away from them.

    Starter Tobacco

    I keep reading about new pipe smokers wanting to start with aromatic blends. I know that they are better left to more experienced smokers but the newborn smokers will not listen. My big question is what should the newbies be smoking? English blends? An old Codger blend? Order a sampler from...

    Yikes! Now This Is A Burnout

    I can not remember them well enough to describe them. They are like a bad car accident. It is best to forget and hope that a nightmare does not replay down the pike. I always wondered if other things were not intended to be smoked in them instead of tobacco.

    Yikes! Now This Is A Burnout

    Have you ever seen those crazy ”hippie” psychedelic pipes that glow in the dark that someone used to sell?

    Yikes! Now This Is A Burnout

    Maybe the reason for colored pipe is to hide the defects.

    Yikes! Now This Is A Burnout

    In my neck of the woods, they are like rocks at a quarry. Pick the one that tickles your fancy.
