    Unpopular Opinion - I Dont Like 1-Q

    “As to what pipers on this forum would recommend, we all pretty much agree that beginners should stay away from aromatics because aros can be hard to smoke right. Beginners tend to smoke too hot and fast, which makes even a good aromatic taste like nothing but hot steam” I actually would...

    New John Aylesbury Rollagas Style Lighter

    It’s striking and gets a flame going. That’s why I’m totally baffled.

    New John Aylesbury Rollagas Style Lighter

    Still haven’t figured it out. This is a close up of the lever to push back, but I can’t figure out how to get the flint out of it to replace it.

    New John Aylesbury Rollagas Style Lighter

    Yeah, the site didn't mention Rollagas, but like you said lot of resemblance there. I'm guessing these were picked up at the recent IPCPR, cause I haven't seen them on the site before. Was hoping with posting here on the forums either someone would have bought one and figured it out or maybe...

    New John Aylesbury Rollagas Style Lighter

    I tried pushing the mechanism back and holding it upside down and shaking it and the flint didn't fall out. I'm totally lost lol. Would have been nice if the instructions would have explained it. I have a pipe meet up next week, maybe one of the guys has had a lighter like this before and can...

    New John Aylesbury Rollagas Style Lighter

    I saw a YouTube video for the Dunhill Rollagas that showed pushing a button back and a compartment swung out to refill the flint. This one has the same push button, but it doesn’t swing open a compartment and the instructions didn’t have anything about changing the flint.

    New John Aylesbury Rollagas Style Lighter

    I saw SmokingPipes picked these up. Figured for $56 it was worth a go. I like it so far. Just a bit curious if anyone knows how to replace the flint for these? I’ve never had this style of lighter before.

    Your favourite Missouri meerschaum?

    The Carolina Gent. I bought one when it first came out and it's been quite the regular in my rotation. I've gotten a ton of bowls out of it. Just a great compact pipe with a rather spacious chamber to it. Travels great and it clenches really well. The acrylic stem they put on it is really nice...

    Cheap vs Expensive Pipes?

    Having been at the hobby for almost 10yrs now expensive has really climbed up for me. I started out thinking $250 was outrageous and these days I'm usually only buying pipes in the $350-450 range. I think when you get from $50 to $150 in factory pipes you're going to see much better fit and...

    Ennerdale Flake

    If you enjoy the taste of urinal cakes you’ll love Ennerdale. Lakeland blends are the devil in my eyes. Don’t understand how some people enjoy them. Just glad for those who do, cause that’s less people to battle with in stocking up on the Virginia and VaPer blends.

    Tobacco Review Scores On Average

    I go straight to JimInks and PipeStud’s reviews. They’re the most honest about the blend for what the blend is. If you go by score you’re bound to have a considerable portion of low scores cause “this English blend guy didn’t like this VaPer” or “this Virginia guy hated this aromatic blend” or...

    Time to Take Weight Loss Seriously

    I lost 30lbs through portion control, increased water in take, and doing 2 walks for 20 minutes a day plus playing ice hockey 4 times a week. For me the hardest part was the portion control. Took forever to down size the meals and feel full. Now it’s pretty common for me to go out to a bar cut...
