    Zippo Lighter or Butane Lighter

    Zippo is my personal favorite lighter of all time. My first girlfriend bought me a Led Zeppelin one for Christmas one year in high school. LOVE the look and tactile feel of them. For a pipe, I prefer butane. I can smell a zippo across the room. I’ll be honest, I have yet to ever try a zippo on a...

    Am I Late to the Party?

    I also felt like I missed the party when I learned of Mcclelland and all that they offered. I was oddly freak accident fortunate to find a tin of Grey Havens and Frog on the bayou at a very unexpected hole in the wall smoke shop. Both are good. But neither are my favorites. Traded a YouTube pipe...

    Wet Wet Wet

    For some reason I get saliva if I’m clenching, and working in the garage at the same time. I also spit a lot (bad habit I’m told...)

    Good Va-Per Tobacco

    Just got my hands on two tins of cabbies. Opened one, cellaring the other. It’s SO good. Escudo is the gold standard for me otherwise. Just finished a bowl of it.

    Reaming Pipes

    I just bought the set of 4 reamers on Amazon with the plastic t handle. Actually fairly impressed with them for the price. Also got the silver adjustable one with the built in drill bit attachment. That one is way less versatile in my opinion. It’s the wrong shape. It has a wide point instead of...

    Briar or Brylon? How to Tell?

    Buying Pipes on Auction for Immediate Resale?

    I have seen a few come up on the “OfferUp” app which is like a more hip Craigslist. Almost got a dunhill bruyere for like $90.

    A Great Smoke

    I’ll never forget my first “oh shit that was good” bowl. I had just got my castello, I was more committed to this hobby. I was driving, so maybe not overthinking it or something, but tasted things in escudo that I didn’t know existed. I have since had better and worse bowls of the same tin with...

    Buying Pipes on Auction for Immediate Resale?

    I’ve never sold a pipe, but of the 3 vehicles I’ve owned/sold (on my 4th now) I’ve made money on every single one. Buy for a dollar, sell for two. If I saw a perfect castello ending on eBay in 2 minutes for WAY under value, I’d snatch it and potentially try to resell it. I’m also a big fan of...

    Almost Like Hitting the Lottery

    ~driving to my jealousy therapist~ awesome stash man. I was fortunate to get a tin of 40th anniversary in a trade. Never tried the Christmas cheers. They closed before I came to the hobby.

    Butter Thread

    I’m in the Kerry gold camp as a STARTING POINT for butter. Anything below that is sub par IMHO. I was on the butter coffee kick for a few years. Kerry gold is great for that because of its rich flavor but also it is full of vitamins. It’s like grocery store ground beef vs Kobe beef. There is no...

    Army Mount

    I enjoy my Peterson army mount. I don’t use it super often, and have only had it a year, but it’s held up great. I take it apart warm every time.
