    Stingers

    So, if you have an obsolete / out of production / aged pipe, like Dr. Grabow, Kaywoodie, Chacom, Lee, etc. do you prefer with or without the stinger? Personally, I don't care either way. IMHO Does not seem to affect the smoke at all. Note: not all pipes by these manufacturers had stingers -...

    Agree on the Royaltons. Definitely a bit ugly, but comfy in the hand and smoke cool. I have your guy's brother!

    University Flake vs Wallace Flake

    Are these actually the very same blend, or are the differences obvious to the average piper? Which do you prefer?

    What Should We Buy Before the Door Closes?

    Well, since Penzance, Stonehaven, the good Germain and most SG's are pretty much myths now, It's probably McB's HH series, Rattrays & GH for me. Otherwise pretty much stocked for the duration.

    Aromatics & Blends With Toppings

    Good suggestions - Virginias are no issue at all with my style of smoking. I prefer them slow, with just enough drawing to keep them going. Tried Molto Doce and one or two other popular Aros and lived to regret it! No other types of pipetted seems to Gove that result. A chemistry thing - ...

    Aromatics & Blends With Toppings

    So, the question here is if all Aromatics and topped/flavored tobaccos fall into the Aromatic camp. Personally, I'd love to be able to smoke Aros, but wind up with a terribly scorched tongue every time. As a result, I've avoided anything with any kind of topping like the (current) plague! Do...
