    Taste in Pipe Tobacco/Cigarettes

    My dad died when I was 22 and I took up smoking his cigarettes as a goofy way to sort of not miss him. I’ve never enjoyed the taste of them, but the process of taking a quick break is what draws me to them anymore. Short answer, I’m not being helpful because I have nothing to add to the...

    A Tanshell LB On The Bench

    I think it may be a bit of both haha. I was rushing a bit because I was so eager to see it completed, and since it’s for personal use, I was happy settling with “good enough” knowing that I could perfect it later if it ever bothered me too much.

    A Tanshell LB On The Bench

    Picked up this 1958 Tanshell LB for a low price, which was not without reason. It’s had a tough life! Hoping to pull of off a few restorative miracles and will update when this fine fella is looking his best.

    Perique and The Souring of a Pipe

    Have you ever smelled straight Perique? I have some for blending. It’s a pretty musty and sour smelling stuff. My guess would be that you’re just smelling the Perique ghost.

    Esoterica Blends: A Conundrum

    I’ve had Stonehaven, Penzance, Margate, And So To Bed, and Dunbar. To my tastes, Esoterica products are totally unique. There isn’t something out there that matches. That being said, only Penzance and Margate are blends that I’ll buy when available. The others just aren’t to my taste. I...

    The Breath Method as Described by Muttonchop Piper

    I totally understand this perspective, but at the same time, I wouldn’t be a pipe smoker without help from this forum seven years ago. I tried my hardest to smoke a pipe at first but I knew nothing about tamping and it just kept going out. Not to mention I was “smoking” Borkum Riff in a Medico...

    The Perfect Pipe For Ramsgate?

    Do you think this pipe is a Siddur / sitter? ? Would it be good for smoking C&D Bijew? How could you Passover a pipe like this? If I cleaned it up and resold it, do you think I’d make a good prophet? Okay I better stop now!
