    Dunhill Bruyere with Viewable Pit

    I really like all four of my Dunhill's and they are probably overall my most smoked pipes. But as much as I love my Dunhill's I do feel like they are probably 20-25% over priced. I also have a few higher end Savinelli pipes and the Punto Oro and Guibileo Oro are definitely a bargain in that...

    Dunhill Bruyere with Viewable Pit

    I have a 4 Dunhills, although mine are blasted. If I was into Bruyere or other smooth finish money I would expect it to be perfect as well. A lot of factories will turn out almost perfect pipes for a small fraction if that price.

    Filters and/or Adapters...or Not?

    I too just toss any adapter and smoke filter pipes wide open. I learned on a MM cobs that have a pretty open draw so that's what I'm used to. But some might prefer the adapter if what they're used to is a more restricted draw. Sometimes I do go on a kick and actually rummage through my pipe...

    More Frustration W/SG Flakes

    When I first started with SG flakes I had a pretty hard time with them, but I wasn't yet very experienced with flake tobacco in general. I got frustrated and jarred the FVF and Choc Fl and forgot about them for a year or so. When I tried the Choc Flake again after a long nap I had one of those...

    Who Puts his Pipes Away for Winter?

    I smoke all year. My shop where I work is un heated (except couple space heaters) winters here in PNW aren't too harsh but I do usually see at least a month of below freezing Temps, sometimes to zero. My pipe gives me great comfort in the winter. Actually in the heat of summer 90 degrees plus...

    Peterson 2023 Christmas Pipe

    Normally I like to try and wrestle back and forth for at least a few days to prove to myself I have a handle on my PAD but in this case I saw the email from SPC saying these were available and about 10 min later I had a 264 on the way. I'm just a sucker for Canadian shaped pipes.

    Blends Like Early Morning Pipe but Without the Sourness?

    A few options for you if you want something like EMP but less tangy/sour oriental: 1. Ashton Consumate Gentleman or Davidoff Royalty, a slightly sweeter mild English, but not an English Aro 2. Sutliff Eastfarthing or Revelation Match, these have a topping so more English aro but both are very...

    Building Your Cellar - Things To Consider

    Good thread. One suggestion if you are just getting started in cellaring and not too sure where to start, then cellar some straight Va's or VA Pers. If you want to up your cellar quickly then bulk like Sutliff VA slices or Newminster 400 or PS Luxury Navy Flake or Bullseye will get you going...

    Which Style Pipe Tobaccos?

    I smoke pretty much everything from 'goopy' aros to straight VA's to Lakelands and everything in between. The only thing I don't smoke much are heavy English/Balkan or Lat bombs. I like the taste, but heavy latakia blends don't really agree with me for whatever reason. I find I'll just ride a...

    Clench Drool

    When I first started really clenching a pipe I noticed this tendency but as I clench more and more now I find it has mostly gone away. But it was really bad the first times I tried clenching, it almost made me quit trying. I'd keep at clenching, try as long as you can before the moisture...

    Jim's Sutliff Pipe Force Episode V Review.

    I'm smoking the IV right now and I like it, it's definitely a unique taste I haven't had in another pipe tobacco blend. I got a couple tins of the V coming, looking forward to trying it.

    Thanks for the review, this St Bernard Flake is on my radar now!

    Do You Own a Pipe 5” or Less in Length?

    I do have a couple of sub 5" pipes, closer to 4" like a nose warmer. While they smoke well enough the nosewarmer isn't my favorite, I much prefer a pipe 5 to 6 1/2" in length.

    Favorite Dan Tobacco blends

    Mallard flake is quite decent but it's fairly mild. If you like a milder Virginia and have the patience to smoke it slowly there is some very good flavor there. They have a mallard with perique out now that I am somewhat interested in. My favorites from Dan are Veermaster, Salty dogs and...

    C+D tins - Nutty Irishman, other concerns.

    If you like sailing with the Captain why stress about it? Captain Black is a solid smoke, it's been making thousands of pipe smokers happy for generations. I smoke pretty much everything from aros to Gawith Ropes and I always have a can of Captain Black White open on my desk. Try the new...

    Dry Smoking Tobacco-Forward Aromatics?

    Looks like you got a pretty good start there with that order! I too have a soft spot for aro's and prefer them lightly aromatic, although I do smoke plenty of full on aromatics as well. You could consider trying Davidoff pipe tobacco line. I've found them to be quite good, a bit under rated...

    Old Toby from The Country Squire

    I really like the Ruins of Windsor, I have a half lb getting some age in jars. It's great fresh but I suspect it will be better with year or so on it.

    Smoker’s Pride Cherry Cavendish

    I really like the Smoker's Pride Whisky and Classic blends. Very tasty, good burn, and fairly clean and you can't complain about the price. I'll have to add a bag of their cherry Cavendish to try out. The idea of mixing it with the Vanilla is a good one I will have to try.
