Which "cheap" pipe in your collection smokes best?
Without a doubt my Doc Grabow Silver Duke (middle pipe) purchased for $0.99 wins this test. The other two dukes there were under ten bucks and they are also great pipes. I've got a lot others in this category. My Medico Jet Streams are all winners. Jet Stream Link -
Dunhill My Mixture 965
MM 965 is one of those blends I really wanted to like but I just can't seem to make it work for me. The taste is something like chewing on a mouthful of aspirin tablets. Now Squadron Leader is one of my favorites so I can't say what my problem is here. I'm thinking I got a bad batch or I just...- tuold

Devil Anse Cutty by Moonshine Pipeworks
Recognizing pipe shapes is not always easy for me, particularly hybrid shapes and artistic renderings. I would think this example would be a "pudgy dublin". :wink: -

In Defense of Brylon Pipes
Well it has to provide good taste too! I'm not trying to be a contrarian and I understand and enjoy the room here for comedic comments, but look, I just smoked the same tobacco in my brand new Peterson Harp. Guess which I enjoyed more? I know...sacrilege! The Harp will improve with age, I... -
Royal Duke of Dundee
I came across this listing last week for a "Royal Duke Air Conditioned" pipe. I thought Royal Duke was a Doctor Grabow pipe, but this thing seemed completely different and thus, interesting. Here's the before: And here's after some spit and polish: I managed to get all the tar off the rim but... -

In Defense of Brylon Pipes
Ok, this is a very mild defence of Brylon, because I can now see the pluses and minuses of them after spending five bucks on ebay on this Medico Brylon pipe. (I've never owned one before this) After doing a cleanup of the pipe, I considered which tobacco to try first. I chose Sutliff "Old San... -

Why Can't I Make it to the Bottom of the Bowl?!
Just echoing what everybody above says. My general observation is that aromatics are best enjoyed from top to mid-bowl while my precious balkans become more flavorful from the last half to the very end.- tuold

Is Buying Pipes Too Much Fun?
I really try to abide my rule of no bidding on more pipes until the last one arrives but I'm already up to three for this week! I've got some interesting stuff on the way in including a Ben Neves Cutty clay pipe which is unusual for me. Even with those three pipes I'm under my $20.00 limit so I... -
Tom Thumb Pipes-Who's Familiar?
