    Ennerdale Flake

    I had a quarter of a bowl of Ennerdale flake and that was enough for me to swear off Lakeland blends forever. Now when I see them mentioned my eye twitches and I get the shakes.

    Formula 1 2024

    I started getting into F1 from the Netflix documentary series, but last year when they came to Vegas it was a total nightmare dealing with them at work. Ridiculous timelines and demands. I’m shocked the race actually happened. I’m dreading having to deal with it for the next five years.

    Jim's Sutliff The Old Boss 175th Anniversary Review.

    Sounds like the Latakia fans will like it. Another superb review Jim!

    Rigid Black Char Forcing Harder Tamping Pressure?

    This, 💯! Creating a sort of dome helps keep things centered to get more of a complete burn. I would also add maybe run a cleaner down the stem and shank a few times throughout the smoke to whisk some of that excess moisture away.

    History of Pipes Magazine?

    I think it was on the 5yr anniversary radio episode Kevin kind of explained it. He sold a cigar website in 2007 I think and had a non-compete so he was left wondering what to do and some cigar buddies suggested doing a pipe website. Think it went live in 2008 and has always just been an online...

    Totally Rad (Davis)

    Lots of Rad Davis fans here. I admire his work, but unfortunately never bought one of his pipes. If the right one shows up on the estate market I’ll probably snag it.

    Per Jensen on Radio Show of April 23, 2024

    It’s a delight every time Per is on the show. I learn even more about the wonderful leaves that make up our beloved blends when you and him chat. Excited to try out his new line of blending tobaccos. Can’t wait to see what he has in store for the pipe world next!

    The Official 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

    Golden Knights Beat Stars 4-3! It’s so fun listening to the hater whine and cry. Being the villain of the NHL is a blast.

    Peretti-Peterson Collab Pipes

    I honestly never heard of it before. My wife saw it at an antique shop and bought it because it was cheap and old. It’s empty, so I couldn’t even rehydrate it to see what it’s like.

    Second pipe

    If I was starting out all over again I’d buy a few Missouri Meerschaum corncobs and a couple of Briarworks briars to get going.

    Nording Compass Pipes

    My wife got me a red one for Valentines Day a few years back. It smokes really well. I probably wouldn’t have bought it on my own, but I really do enjoy it now that I have it.

    Chicago Pipe Show was Epic! Here's the 2024 Report

    Fantastic write up! Wish I could have been there. I did catch the tail end of the Battle of the Briar livestream and later watches the entire event. Big thanks to those who made the streaming possible.

    Pete Provost of BriarWorks on Radio Show of April 16, 2024

    Sounds like the Chicago show was a blast. Wish I could have been there. Love hearing from Pete, he’s a great guy and a top notch carver. Glad Briarworks is thriving! I was rooting for Pete in the Battle of the Briar. Congratulations on becoming a grandpa! Did you have a special smoke the day...

    Peretti-Peterson Collab Pipes

    I decided to go with the D17 Dublin shape and I’m glad I did. The fit and finish is really nice. Love the Peretti logo on the silver band. It’s very well balanced and considerably lightweight. I’m so pleased with this one I ordered the other three original release shapes to make a four pipe set...

    Any Thoughts On C&D Redburn?

    I bought a tin of it at a B&M once before I left a pipe meet up. I enjoyed it. It wasn’t an island blend, but it was flavorful and delicious. The flavoring was noticeable most of the smoke, but the Burleys held their own and came through nicely in the profile. I would suggest getting two 2oz...

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    Ah just caught tail end of the livestream. Congrats to Dirk on the win. All of the pipes looked incredible. Big ups to Huber and Prevost as well. Such a fun event. Glad Jeff got this going. Hope he keeps it alive for years to come.
