    Not Many Ascorti's Get Posted

    I like a lot of the old caminettos, but the modern radice/ascorti look so weirdly proportioned. They also tend to be in huge sizes

    Royal Yacht

    Royal Yacht definitely tastes like virginia topped with british plum perfume It is to a va/per what egg cream is to a milkshake (a cheap facsimile that's interesting in its own right)

    Why Are Some Tins So Big?

    Isn't there a European requirement mandating a minimum size for warning?

    Really Bad Names for Tobacco...

    Straight Grain vs Birdseye vs Craggy

    Ken posts here from time to time, right? Are his new pipes made under his name? Always loved charatans and upshalls!

    Anyone UP For a 1400.00 Savinelli?

    I wanted a giubileo d'or since I generally like savinelli's shapes - but man, their grading is super inconsistent. I've seen stunning pieces that would be high grade autographs, and I've seen stuff where I thought, "why's this not a punto Oro, at best" I had a 4 digit billiard that I thought...

    "Giubileo d'Oro" What's In The Box? (Photo Heavy)

    Are the stems 6mm filtered? That bothered me more than the arcylics

    Best Approach To Keep Rims From Excess Charring?

    I managed to scratch a pipe bowl while wiping build up with a dry paper towel... Must have had a piece of grit on it. Keep the flame off the bowl, and don't let the flame sit in one spot too long

    Have Smooth Grain Finishes Edged Out Of Fashion?

    Blast and smooth for me. I like wood's natural grain. Corallo/sea rock is the only rustication I like.

    Highest Recommended McClelland Virginia

    No love for the blend you need a blowtorch to smoke, dark star?

    What A Joke

    Wealthy Chinese dudes love their pipes. One of the Nat Sherman guys told me that's their main clientele for high end castellos etc. Chinese luxury is also about brand names and rarity. As a poor Chinese American, I'm not even sure if they necessarily like the guy end good they're consuming, but...

    FVF Not Working For Me

    I've had some magical smokes out of fvf - but most of the time I feel like I'm wasting tobacco - bone dry and barely packed is the only way I can get it smoking

    Wood at the Bottom of Missouri Meerschaum Bowls

    Do the wood plugged models also have the shank sticking in? What about the wood pipes that MM make?

    Lighter Recommendations?

    Had too many failed Thunderbird inserts, and piezo soft flame lighters are all terrible Djeep and clipper all the way or save up for a im corona

    Help Me Pick Some Germain Blends Please

    Does anyone in the US carry them anymore? I miss brown flake a lot

    Jimmy Craig-era Ashton’s (Are Awesome)

    I always wanted a new British made pipe - but was worried about new ashtons

    Is Rustication An Iconic Future Of Italian Pipes?

    Danish pipes are definitely too avant garde for me I want to like the weird rustifications like the new dear - but too weird - give me a nice blast (and castello does some sharp ones) or smooth

    No Really, It's Me, Not You (Davidoff)

    Davidoff cigars are wonderful Henke Kelner blends that are so unique and distinctive Their pipe tobacco seems to be just whatever off the shelf Orlik tobaccos

    Better (or Worse) Than Expected Blends.

    I wanted to not like Germain Brown Flake because it's so hard to find - but it's everything I want in a pipe tobacco Virginia No 1 was my first pipe tobacco - way too much honey for me, can barely taste the VA under it GL Pease Haddo's Delight - like when I was getting into cigars and didn't...
