    West Coast Pipe Show Cancelled Indefinitely

    Yeah. I’m bummed as this was the only show I stood a shot at making it to this year. And when three people behind it all are stepping down, it feels like it’s going to take more than just one person to take on the organization of such an event. It’s been gone 2 years, and it’s hard to imagine it...

    Rattray’s Hall O Wynd Aging

    I definitely fall into 3-5 years is ideal for my VaPers. Hal has a bit more going on but I still really enjoy it in that age range.

    What Pipe Would You Buy if You Had $200 to Spend?

    If you’re looking for some instant gratification then a commission isn’t going to suit you. You’ll likely be waiting a few months at best. But many makers have noncommissioned pipes for sale. I’d second the idea of an estate pipe. Could land a decent Castello or Dunhill. Some of the early...

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    My local had this tucked away somewhere and it was in the case today during my weekly Friday pilgrimage. My mind is still a little blown by the date on it.

    Peterson Coatings?

    I’ve got a Peterson that came with it and I recently got two Bones that one had it and one didn’t. All three smoke well and both Bones are breaking in well and taste fine. No noticeable difference to me and I’m smoking the same tobacco in both to break them in. ??‍♂️

    Windjammer in my Rossi 8824. Coffee black and a warm fire to accompany.

    Pipe Cleaners

    I usually only use 1 or maybe 2. If the pipe is well broken in, I find I rarely have to use one during my smoke. A newer pipe might take me 3 though. 1 for gurgling during the smoke, 1 for after the smoke which is also likely to be bent and used on the draft hole as well, and a final one dipped...

    Cleaning My Pipes

    It's not a weed pipe since you smoke tobacco in it. But I get his point because they are designed to take a metal screen and can be used as a "stealthy" non-tobacco pipe for those who so wish it. And Peterson is an Irish marque, and have the oldest continuously operating pipe factory in the world.

    Cleaning My Pipes

    Flakes come in rectangular, square, and round medallion shapes. they come from pressing or rolling the tobacco leaves and then slicing into "flakes". As said above, just rub them out between your palms and then let dry for maybe 20 minutes before you load up and light up. Some people like to...

    Cleaning My Pipes

    Looking it up on Amazon, this looks to be a resin pipe. Not made of wood at all. I'd be getting a cob or briar pipe as soon as you possibly can. You will most likely have a superior experience compared to your current pipe.

    Bayou Morning

    Hands down one of my favorites. Enough that my stash is getting low enough to be of concern. ?

    Well, then it just went from interesting to fascinating to me.

    Suggestions for English Blends

    It’s so interesting to me because my tastes have changed many times over the years. So I will try artichoke hearts once a year because my normal tastes imply this should be something I enjoy. I’ve yet to have that one change. But I’ve never had a texture issue change. Probably taking those to...

    Suggestions for English Blends

    I think so. For me it’s kind of more "If you like EMP and 965, you might like…” sort of situation. The spirit of the originals is there, but they certainly aren’t exact by a decent measure.

    Suggestions for English Blends

    There is a whole world of flavor closed to me because my brain HATES the texture of cooked pineapple. Tells my mouth to spit it out. Outside of that, I don’t get the Hawaiian pizza debate.
