    Peterson Special Reserve Limited Edition 2011

    Try the Larsen Special Editions as well. The 2010 was AWESOME, and the 2011 is supposed to be very similar.

    My first smoke of real pipe tobacco

    Try some of Hearth and Home's Anniversary Kake for a sweet and spicy blend that actually tastes like it smells. Fantastic.

    Are you man enough?

    I think the CupOJoes website got hijacked by the Adam and Eve Catalog on that one. Does it come with a free DVD at least?

    Va Reccomendations Please

    You absolutely cannot go wrong with Anniversary Kake from Pipesandcigars dot com. I believe it's the best seller from their hearth and home series. Really, really good stuff that arrives already a great smoke out of the bag, and gets positively divine after a year in the jar. Also try...

    MC'sTudor Castle....OMG

    I've been a Tudor Castle fan for a year now. Really delicious, especially when you rub it out and let it dry out for a bit.

    From 30 pipes to no pipes.

    I still occasionally return to a restaurant to inquire if ONE pipe I lost there has since turned up, and that was 3 years ago. I can't imagine 30 pipes gone.

    2011 Kansas City Pipe and Tobacco Show

    Fellas, I've got about 100 estate pipes cleaned up and ready to sell at the KC show. Everything from $3 corncobs, to an unsmoked David Jones you could kill a drifter with... and EVERYTHING in between. I've discovered that I absolutely LOVE matching up a person with the perfect pipe that they...

    Dunhill Question for the experts out there.

    Thank you both. I have both a legitimate 1984 Dunhill Cumberland Poker (with a stem that looks identical to the pipe in question), as well as a Dunhill 1982 Chestnut 4111 w/ all of the same stamping in the same places, except it's got a "DUNHILL" and "CHESTNUT" and this one doesn't. So I'm 95%...

    Dunhill Question for the experts out there.

    OK, here's some pics. If you look closely at the last pic of the stem, you'll see that once upon a time, someone wanted $415.00. I just found this, and it further confirms it for me as authentic. But does anyone out there know for sure?

    Dunhill Question for the experts out there.

    Hey guys, I just picked up what I believe to be an unsmoked 1985 Dunhill 5405 in the Chestnut finish w/ a cumberland stem. The only problem is that "Dunhill" isn't stamped anywhere on the pipe. What it DOES have is: -5405 -MADE IN ENGLAND25 -the Dunhill white spot on the stem-which appears...

    Suggest a Aromactic Tobacco

    I would recommend Trout Stream--available from Pipes and Cigars dot com. This is a sweet cavendish that actually tastes like it smells and doesn't gunk up your pipe--a rare gem in an aro!! Morning Coffee from Just For Him Again, actually tastes like it smells. A bit more residue than TS, but...

    Good pipe shops near Montpelier, Virginia?

    Fellas, I'm heading to Montpelier for a conference on James Madison. I don't know if I'll have the ability to travel, but I'd like to visit a shop In the land of the founding fathers, if possible. Richmond is 25 miles away. Any good ones there?

    Hobbiton Via Copenhagen

    Arthur, I absolutely can't thank you enough. The shape and style are EXACTLY what I had imagined. Are you by any chance coming to the KC show this weekend?

    All VaPer lovers: Get some Park Square from Peretti's!

    I just got some of this on the recommendation of a guy who used to work for them in Boston. They still blend all their own pipe tobacco, and Park Square is absolutely a dream. A little natural sweetness, some spice and more vitamin N than my old stand-by, Anniversary Kake. Not as...

    Just For Him is the shop that taught me how to smoke a pipe. Their lounge taught me to love it. A class operation all around!!

    Collections

    Hello, ssgtusmc30 Great to have you, and welcome!!! A couple of things that I've learned the hard way: 1. Start with a good estate pipe from a trusted source. New Petes and Stanwells and Savinelli's sure look good (and cost more new) but they can take FOREVER to get broken in and start...

    2011 Kansas City Pipe and Tobacco Show

    I think I received official permission to attend this show. I may even try to sell there. I need to find out how much their table fees are. I'm just emerging from a 4-day depression from missing the Chicago show.
