    Dr.Schiffmann's Asthmador Pipe Mixture

    Try it one time and you may never smoke anything else! What a marketing slogan that'd be. Lol.

    Stupid Pipe Invention From the Past

    The chin rest is something I can see making a comeback especially in the hipster culture, I can also envision an attachment called a beard mat.

    "The Tao of the Corncob Pipe"

    Very touching, thanks for that.

    Matches.! The good, the bad and the ugly.

    Swan Vesta matches were at one time the go-to pipe lighting match but they dried up not long after I came into the hobby. We have a full box in the smoke shop junk drawer that I've lit my pipe with a few times. Very long and clean burning, the perfect indoor, sitting in an overstuffed leather...

    Just wanted to apologize to fourm members if I've ran my mouth too much

    The time out for your chance to edit or retract leaves only 10 minutes to act. It can be both a curse and a blessing. :-)

    What's the Oldest SG FVF You've Smoked?

    2002. I had the pleasure of smoking several bowls of that vintage last year. I shared some with the pipe club guys and we all enjoyed it. The flakes had a nice sugar plume and it crumbled nicely to provide a trouble free smoke. I'm salivating just from reminiscing.

    FVF Question and Discussion

    I get mine in bulk and it's about as moist as any tobacco I've seen right out of the box. It can take a great deal of dry time where I live in SW PA. I've tried more than once to "force" it and for that I spend a lot of time relighting and having to fuss with it. It's one tobacco that I'll...

    Christmas Cheer 2015

    I'm stashing a couple tins away. I'll pop one in 2-3 years and the other at 5. My current tastes leave me in agreement the no one does Virginias like McClelland.

    What Pipe Tobacco Did Bing Crosby Smoke Besides Crooner?

    I've heard it said that Bing would smoke anything he could get. C&D Crooner is a blend I'd say represents many of the OTC offerings back in those days but that's just my personal theory.

    Some life changes,an update

    One door closes as another opens. No truer words were ever spoken and in today's business climate it's good to remain open ended with ones employment status. If I were to re-enter the job market as a younger tradesman I'd seriously look at each position accepted as a short term stepping stone...

    The Fate of the Local Pipe Shop

    As an employee of a B&M who has a very strong pipe and tobacco inventory, I couldn't agree more. Look, you don't have to buy everything from a B&M but if you have one in your neck of the woods, toss them a bone now and then. Let them know you are out there and are willing to spend a little, ask...

    The Forgotten Esotericas

    "Yeasty" that's a descriptor that I've long been searching for to articulate my take on many of the Esoterica blends.

    The Forgotten Esotericas

    In our shop there were bulk jars of Ramsgate, Tilbury and Hastings that absolutely never recieved any love from the countless people gazing over he 60+ bulk jars on the shelves. The Esoterica label was right there with the other heavy hitters and some folks would sample a bowl from time to time...
