    HPCS Trout and Stream

    i purchased the Victory sampler from P&C recently which includes this. It's really wonderful as an all day but i have been enjoying it with coffee in the morning and some tea at night. While it is an aromatic it is an aromatic with a light touch. No topping smashing you over the head. I feel...

    Aging Aromatics: Mac Baren's Vanilla Cream

    I had a similar experience with other people in this thread. I bought a tin of this loose cut in 2004, i think. I forgot about it until recently when unpacking some old pipe stuff. Either my tastes have changed or the drying and time has really helped this tobacco. It's really lovely now and i...

    $165 Northern Briars Mistake

    I didn't see the asymmetry either until OP mentioned it. mind you i read this mostly from my phone. that being said, unless they claimed it to be symmetrically perfect i wouldn't complain about it. It's a handmade pipe and it is beautiful. I don't think you made a mistake in this purchase but...

    Right this second I am smoking a tiny bowl of MacBaren vanilla cream that has been aging for about 7 years in a tiny mini cob before bed.

    Grab Bag of Cobs

    I gotta say I thought I wouldn't like these filtered pipes but they're great! I didn't realize the Country Gentleman with a black stem I just smoked had a filter and it was so cool, no tongue bite and no gargle. I only realized it was filtered when I took the stem off to clean it! Didn't affect...

    Grab Bag of Cobs

    Mine just came in the mail today. Disappointed in the variety. Was hoping to get at least one strange or MacArthur. Regardless I'm trying one right now with a filter and a bowl full of trout stream. Not too shabby!

    Need to vent

    Boy i wish this was true. I was ran over by someone driving a car when i was on a bike. The man threatened me and hit me on purpose, then got back in his car and ran over my bike again for good measure. There were many witnesses. Long story short, the guy that hit me was a former cop. The police...

    20% of PM Traffic is via Mobile

    The site as a whole should definitely be left alone and not change for mobile users. My idea is just a mobile version for the forums. I'm not 100% sure but i know from other forums that i use that this seems to be pretty easy to implement. There's a pretty big discussion and ways to do it...

    Why Did You Start?

    I always thought that cigarette smoking was disgusting, both of my parents smoked and it just turned me off. I always loved the smell of pipe tobacco when an old man would pass by on the streets. When i was a teenager i would go hunting with with Step dad and an amazing man named Captain Tom...

    Very Old Pipe, Curved Stem, No Pipe Cleaners. How Do I Clean It?

    Also, lets get serious here. Pipe cleaners are 49 cents! You can get them almost anywhere. Supermarkets, convenience store, Tobacco shop, head shop, arts and craft stores, the internet. There's NO EXCUSE to not be able to get them.

    Amadeus pipe

    Hiiyyyyyyyoooooooooooooo!

    Freemasonry pipe? I'm curious.

    Yes this is a common stylized old style A. I highly doubt this has anything to do with freemasonry. It bares a similar shape to a Masonic compass and right angle but the Letter G is what is important in that symbol. It's not creating a letter A. But the mystery of this pipe should still be solved!

    Amadeus pipe

    yeah i'm starting to think the postman may have stolen it. or just lost it. even when i called the post office the manager admitted that my carrier has "had some problems" but at the same time they weren't willing to do anything for me because their records said "delivered"! Could you imagine...
