    Cellaring with Peck - A New Reality Show

    I have been to the barn. After meeting Peck at a generic strip mall near Niagara Falls and being blindfolded by a mute Old Order Mennonite chap, the trip took 45 minutes by non-descript white van. While the AHD (anti Harris devices) are menacing on first look, upon entering the barn the utterly...

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2018 Thread!

    oH oH oH I’m in. Wouldn’t miss it! Now where are the rest of the Kiwis at!?! Maybe we can meet up at the beach for a smoke to exchange our (not so) Secret Santas. — Pat

    Peterson Waterford?

    I don’t think all Peterson pipes are garbage. I didn’t state that. I have a recently made production pipe from Peterson, that arrived with significant issues which should have been picked up by anyone looking if there had been anything approximating a QC program. I own five, and have...

    Peterson Waterford?

    I’ve had drilling issues, fitment issues, and a badly bent stem... and that was all on one pipe. The only new Pete I ever bought, last year’s Christmas pipe. The lovely creamy swirl acrylic stem was bent such that the button was at a 45 degree angle from level if the stem was nested in the...

    Briar pipe makers in Canada

    Todd, it has been an age since I was last in Julius’ shop. But as of late last year he was still selling pipes, and his toy soldiers, in the bottom of the Royal York. He’d been grumbling about retirement for the better part of a decade... I don’t know how many new pipes he’s making a year, or...

    Airline Galley Trolley Pipe Rack

    @peck - I’m pretty sure that Delta got rid of those flight attendants at previous sales... having had a chance to fly both United and Delta recently it appears that the cabin crew that remains after the last five rounds of collective bargaining are Jurassic. @npod - that’s brilliant, mate. Love...

    Briar pipe makers in Canada

    James, I miss you. It’s spring down here, we’ll be swimming soon. Come down for some fishing, drinking and hanging out with the family. And for God’s sake bring tobacco... it’s a $100 a tin down here. Fucking Hobbits have to sell themselves at the intersections of horse cart tracks in the Shire...

    Briar pipe makers in Canada

    Evan Wiseman still turns out a pipe or two each year, and is a regular at the Chicago Pipe Show. Lately he’s been selling accessories like ash trays , rests, and tobacco prep plates. Giovanni Placentile has slowed down his production considerably but there are some nice pieces floating around...

    Ramón Allones Hermitage Edición Regionales Rusia (2017)

    I find RA cigars to be a bit of a one trick pony, and they certainly don’t pack the intensity of flavour of non Cuban cigars. That said, I think they do deliver their one dimension really, really, well. Sweet, creamy, and simple. — Pat

    Ramón Allones Hermitage Edición Regionales Rusia (2017)

    Nice looking cigar, Javan. I like the RASS standard issue cigars quite a bit. My tastes definitely lean towards something a little more complex; but the Ramon Allones lines will do in a heartbeat. — Pat

    MOLD in Jarred Oak Alley??

    I’m with Sasquatch. The only thing I cellar that C&D blends is Haddo’s. That’s just a risk I take, and I’m not going deep on it. I’d rather load up on Escudo and OGS and not fear the fluffy whiteness. Having had to cash in the Canadian cellar and move to a place where taxation on tobacco...

    4 NOGGINS & CANADIANS

    I don’t see why it should be closed. This is a reasoned and reasonable discussion. It’s not like publicly listing tobacco for sale in an open forum. That could land someone in a whole heap of hot water with the Canadian government. As to the original topic. I’ve ordered twice from the new...

    Kiwi pipe-folk. If you’re interested in connecting with other NZ tobacco lovers, toss me a PM here. I have some experience in this regard and would be happy to coordinate something. — Pat

    I Got To Meet Brian Levine!

    We’ll forward meeting dates for the “I met Brian Levine” support group shortly. Thanks for alerting us. Seriously, though, Brian is good people and a ton of fun in a 175 pound package. — Pat

    New Zealand Briar Society

    Hey folks. I’m now in Auckland. I’ve looked at Canteros for cigars, but can’t bring myself to pay those prices yet. I have had reasonable luck ordering online, but only order what I know I can afford if I get hit with duty and taxes. Which means I don’t order often. My biggest ding so far has...
