    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    You could do the sensible thing and buy the amphora, but we ain't sensible.

    Overrated Blends?

    Like some said, all subjective. Some say presbyterian isn't liked by them, don't listen to them, that blend is delish with the for me perfect virginia to oriental to latakia ratio. I never got along with Macbarren Virginia #1.

    Edgeworth Ready Rub - Pipe/Tobacco Event

    I tried to book a ticket across the Atlantic just for this experience, but I would need a gofundme for that. Fantastic story and I hope you enjoy your event. Wonder how your own tin is doing!

    PayPal Acceptable Use Update

    Forgot to add there are always laws that demands banks to do a duedilligence investigation before opening any account. We have a case in court where a COVID measure protest group is canceled by the bank, the bank is fearing they are sponsoring "terrorism" and will get a fine by the authorities...

    PayPal Acceptable Use Update

    All tobacco stores I buy from are not using PayPal with their antitobacco policy. For tobacco either creditcard or a domestic system called iDeal which is a consumer to business platform to pay invoices directly from debit without delay of waiting on the payment. The new policy I've seen a few...

    Thoughts on this Nording vs. Neerup?

    I don't own a nording, but do own a neerup and love that pipe. Easy to smoke, button work is on point for me (it's a heavier pipe and the larger button adds grip to the clench), the pipe needed no breakin time at all. What I don't see is dimensions of the bowl, if I would stuff my neerup with...

    That would be a better pick in my opinion.

    Advice on which shape of pipe is …

    Without knowing anything about those pipes I would pick #3. If I would make a suggestion: I would rather buy a Missouri Meerschaum Corncob which is cheaper or buy a bit more expensive pipe like a Irish Seconds, Rattrays, Savinelli starter kit or Vauen. You can buy these brands at...

    Do You Introduce Yourself to Other Pipe Smokers?

    I've only encountered 2 pipe smokers in the wild, one when I was in my (pre) teens and one older fellow at work which quite smoking after a heart attack, he is retired now. When I smoke my pipe during my break at work or before work it is a conversation piece when people join me smoking anything...

    What Are You Smoking, October 2022?

    Sounds like a interesting blend, recommended for the starting aromatic smoker?

    What Are You Smoking, October 2022?

    A god-like bowl of ABF in a Peterson Deluxe 150. I could slam myself for not stocking more tins of this concoction and it now being out of stock which it normally never is.....

    New Commission Heading My Way.

    Nice pipe! I'm in the same boat, I would rather have a classic shaped pipe, while I can appreciate the art of a carved meerschaum pipe. @jndyer if you contact any meerschaum carver you can order a commission with your preferred inside dimensions and shape. The pipe in my avatar is a size and...

    Caught a Murder Hornet in my Bedroom!

    The Dolomedes is a domestic type of spider, the Zoropsis spinimana isn't for Northern Europe (everything above the Alps). People freak out because they look like the true Wolfspider Lycosidae which is a venom spider, this one actually isn't. The are a bit agressive when you want to catch them...

    Troost Slices

    That could be possible, the stock in the stores might even be aged, as there are not a lot of pipe smokers in the Netherlands left. Troost was formerly made by the Van Rossem tobacco and coffee factory near my hometown in Rotterdam, later the brands where sold to the Niemeyer company in...

    Caught a Murder Hornet in my Bedroom!

    If I would have that in the house I would have 3 people screaming in terror. We also have a migration of exotic insects the last few years, first came the Vespa velutina and this year I've caught 2 Zoropsis spinimana this year which migrated from Southern Europe. For Northern Europe these are...

    Why smoke Burley?

    I like burley for the nutty and chocolate notes to it and the easy smoke (you don't have to baby it), but for me it needs a lot of opening up time. I have a tin of Solani ABF which is good now, but that's only because I left a tin open for a year. The type of pipe has been mentioned. For me...

    Cellaring: How Much is Too Much?

    The amount I spend won't be limiting any other investment. Myself I'm now working to a 5 year stash of tobacco which means 5 kilo of pipe tobacco in the cellar and about 15 to 20 boxes of cigars, I'm not a big smoker at 10 bowls a week and 1 to 3 cigars a week. If I have that cellar I'm...
