    Tom Eltang Pipes

    Yo TN - I'm with luka there. There is also the Copenhagen series from the Danish Pipe Shop, sort of a gateway to Eltangs. hp les

    Greetings from Penna.

    Yo TJ - welcome from West Chester. Are you within range of The Wooden Match in Bethlehem? The Lehigh Valley Pipe Club meets there monthly. Philly has the Christopher Morley's PC in Center City too. We've been meeting monthly, pre-COVID, since the 1990s. hp les

    Hello from Lancaster, PA

    Yo Dutch - welcome from West Chester. Did you know the oldest US pipe store is/was Demuth. They had a store front in downtown Lancaster when I last looked a couple of years ago. How far are you from Bethlehem? The Lehigh Valley Pipe Club meets at The Wooden Match and we have members who come...

    Hello from California

    Yo vish - welcome from near Philly. I remember when the pipe club used to meet in Sam Jose at Mission Pipes on Alameda. I never synchronized my visits to kids in the Bay Area to make it to the meetings at Edward's. Too bad since it would have been a good chance to meet up with MartyP. I did...

    The Neck Ties that Bind Us

    I got 2 pipe ties from David Field (the Dunhill expert and once importer of Radices). I wear them proudly at Slow Smoking events. Maybe they intimidate some of the competition by psyching them out. Once I was going through an airport in a suit (hate to wrinkle them by packing them in carryon)...

    Scotty's VR Blend

    Yo jv - yup. But it looks like VR is discontinued. A year or two ago the SHPC version sold out. But now I see that P&C no longer carries it, even under Scottie's banner. :( hp les

    Scotty's VR Blend

    Yo jv - this was one of the club blends for Sherlock Holmes PipeClub in the Boston area. I don't know if they were formulated for the club The four blends that the New York Pipe Club had were in fact worked out with the great RussO. hp les

    NJ Clubs ?

    Yo Swa - Usual start time is 7:00, but folks drift in and out. No set agenda. Usually a few drift in at 6:00 or so. Dunno about the patio - depends on how windy it will be.

    NJ Clubs ?

    Yo Swa - the NJ Fellowship of Pipe Smokers pre-COVID met monthly at the JR's jguss referenced. They also have a nice IPSD event there. There was a short-lived group that got together in Wildwood. Pre-COVID Philly's Christopher Morley's PC met downtown monthly for many decades, and it will...

    OK...I Get It Now.

    Yo cos - funny about Presby. My experience was the same, but coming from the other direction. I am a lover of Latbombs, and I do like mild Lats to start the day. The first half tin of Presby was meh to me, and I thought I had crossed it off the rebuy list. Then, around the end of the tin...

    What Are The Physics Of "Thick Wall = Cool Smoke"?

    Let me introduce another factor into this discussion of coolness: no one has directly mentioned that some briar is denser than others. I personally favor low density briar not because I clench (I don't) but because I feel it delivers a cooler smoke. hp les

    Experience with Synjeco's?

    Yo bro - I ordered from Synjeco several years ago, and it went well. They have a number of interesting blends. There's a discount on shipping for first timers. hp les

    My New KJ Pipes Bamboo Blast

    I have a lovely KJ that's very similar, except for being a smooth. My little jewel is a first class smoker. Enjoy. PS - Kadesh harvests his own bamboo.

    How Are Becker Pipes Nowadays?

    Yo ame - Becker fan here. I think the last several years of Paolo's production may have had a lot of Federico's input. hp les

    Testy Cigar Customer at Cigars International...

    Think this would have happened with a pipe smoker? Pipsters seem more chill than 'gar aficionados. hp les

    Why Prof. Einstein Smoked Pipe This Way?

    Yo Rich Funk - my definitive answer: one of the Morley's PC members grew up in Germany. He told me it is common practice there to leave a gap with the stem to make it easier to pull off the stem mid-smoke and shake out condensation. The official Slow Smoke Comite rules allow this, especially...

    How Deep is Your Cellar?

    Well, I need to update my spreadsheets. I've been delinquent since we moved recently and things are still in boxes. My wife thought I needed more room for my tobacco, ffishing gear, Scotch and wine, so the new house is more than twice the size of the place I was perfectly happy in for 43...

    I Like 'Em All!

    Yo scruf - welcome from West Chester. Are you in the Southeast? There are two wonderful pipe clubs: the downtown Philly one meets monthly (before the Pandemic, that is) at the Pen & Pencil Club. The Lehigh Valley PC is younger but very enthusiastic, meeting at The Wooden Match in Bethlehem...
