    A Guide for Getting the Best from Your Pipe Smoking Experience

    I would also add that the conclusions and preferences of one experienced pipe smoker generally apply to the universe of pipe smokers;)

    MIA (English blends)

    Fair enough Mr Embers, and I can't disagree, but I find it annoying. Whereas we previously enjoyed most favored nation status in the world of commerce, this is no longer the case. At home, my 10 year old daughter receives Chinese language instruction, so that she might someday find good...

    MIA (English blends)

    I bring this up every few months, and will continue to do so as the situation evolves or remains the same. For my American compatriots, it has been many months, perhaps over a year since any JF Germain blend graced our domestic shelves. Several theories have been posited, but I suspect that...

    Thick vs Thin Chamber Wall

    The interaction between the bowl shape, its capacity, and the wall thickness is important, but the interaction is complex and not easily generalized.

    Pipes, rockers, and talk shows

    I wonder if anyone will ever again set foot on a talk show stage clenching a pipe?

    Pipes, rockers, and talk shows

    YouTube fed me this video, featuring Ian Anderson attempting to take an occasional puff on his 3/4 bent pipe, on the David Letterman show, 6/7/82. Not so long ago, but times have certainly changed.

    2021 Holiday Pipe Auction - 100 Artisan Estate Pipes

    That there are beautiful pipes here is beyond debate.

    School me on Keeping Briar Looking New

    People keep saying no to olive oil. Is that based in observed fact or theory? In my experience it works great, and I've never had any bad experience with it. Great for stems too.

    School me on Keeping Briar Looking New

    For smooths, Paragon wax works exactly as expected. For blasts or rusticated, olive oil is just fine.

    In Flagrante Delicto and Pipe Smoking?

    I could understand the pizza thing, but not the video game thing. I think my head might explode, if confronted with such a complicated situation. BTW, I am awestruck and jealous that your wife loves pipe smoking.

    In Flagrante Delicto and Pipe Smoking?

    Well, it may have been SCTV. Something with John Candy and Andrea Martin.

    In Flagrante Delicto and Pipe Smoking?

    Is Our Perception Of The Present Entirely Influenced By Memory?

    Wikipedia on "Memento", a must-see film for anyone interested in this subject: Many medical experts have cited Memento as featuring one of the most realistic and accurate depictions of anterograde amnesia. Caltech neuroscientist Christof Koch called Memento "the most accurate portrayal of the...

    Is Our Perception Of The Present Entirely Influenced By Memory?

    Let's not forget about the collective unconscious: (in Jungian psychology) the part of the unconscious mind which is derived from ancestral memory and experience and is common to all humankind, as distinct from the individual's unconscious.

    Is Our Perception Of The Present Entirely Influenced By Memory?

    I suggest you watch the film, Memento. It is a brilliant exploration of this topic, and one of my all-time favorite films.

    Sillem's Commodore / John Ayelesbury's Commander / Robert McConnell's Latakia Flake - Identical?

    I believe tins continue to be produced and distributed under the Sillems label. Probably at least some of these are blends that are unique (more or less) to the Sillems label, but others are quite obviously not.

    Sillem's Commodore / John Ayelesbury's Commander / Robert McConnell's Latakia Flake - Identical?

    You make a strong argument for less blends. It does no favor to pipesmokers when the same tobacco is put into tins with different labels (said to represent different companies). These labels are supposed to represent different blenders, but sadly that is no longer the case in this type of...

    Dunhill now made in Italy?

    My understanding, and I have it from good sources, at least as of last year, that Dunhills are made in the old London Dunhill factory, just as they were in the 2010's, 2000's, 1990's, etc. Also, many are currently stamped both 'White Spot' and 'Dunhill', so they are still Dunhill. They are...
