    Do any of you SL smokers have an opinion of how it compares to C&D Black Duck. Black Duck is my first English/Latakia blend and I find that I really enjoy the woodsy campfire aroma. It also ends on a slightly sweet note. I find it very satisfying, but I am looking for one like it that might even...

    Stephen Colbert...Pipe Smoker

    +1 digital Bump this up. I like the idea of a pipe smoker of the year sponsored by pipesmagazine.com. What a great way to get some publicity.

    Having a rough few weeks

    Hang in there Canasian. I also had a hard time with accounting in college. I did fail the course and had to take it again. I actually flunked out of Texas A&M during my first semester. Imagine that, first semester and I was un-invited to return! I liked to party way to much back then. Well I...

    My Stanwell

    Beautiful job Hunter! My Stanwell's are my best pipes. More often than not I go to them over any others I have. I have bought several estate Stanwell's in the $40 dollar range. Great bang for the bucks.

    AA with my dad this morning

    Guitarguy, I have been a greatful recovered alcoholic for about 6 years now. I go to AA meetings once or twice a week now. At first I resisted, but now I know they are a great support group. I pray you will find the same kindness, understanding and support that I found in the rooms of AA. Be...

    Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

    I've had the same problem fnord. I guess we're just stronger than we think. When I try to lighten up my touch a bit I get no results. Now I just use Murphy's Oil soap and a dish rag. Then I use a wet dish rag with no soap to remove the soap. Works for me.

    The Stuff & Twist Method

    I find that flakes don't actually fold well. They tend to fall apart while attempting the fold. The only flake I have tried (and do like) is University Flake, so maybe this is inherent with that brand. I've tried rubbing it out and get a hot smoke. I guess what I am doing now is a little like...

    Really good deal!

    Well, I figured why not. The price is right. Thanks for the heads up. I ordered the deal and some other tobaccos. I'll report back when it arrives. Anyone got any experience with a beechwood pipe. All mine are briars, but wishing for a meershaum.

    Big Thank You to Kevin!

    +1 Irish. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Learned a lot too. This is truly a different kind of forum. I have been a member of several marine fish and reef forums and they always intimidated me. Seems that in those places everyone was always trying to one up each other with their...

    Erik Stokkebye

    Hmmm, 1957, year of my birth. I'll have to give that one a go. I'll report back.

    Need a Smoke the Wife will Enjoy

    Welcome 05, I have gotten lots of compliments on Dan Tobacco Blue Note. It's a very pleasant aromatic. You won't find it overly cased, and no goopy pipe at the end. I never get a tongue bite from it. I think it's very similar to 1Q.

    Pipe buying

    Hello Reformed, and welcome aboard. I have to go with eaglerico on this one. I have bought several estate Savinelli's and Stanwell's on ebay. I always research the sellers a bit and buy from reputable guys. Even though they are sold as cleaned and sanitized I always sanitize them to my...

    Estate Stanwell from Ebay

    Thanks for the comments everyone. Slowwideturns: I'm not sure of the the shape number. The seller states the only number on the pipe is "1969". I'm not certain what that number refers to. It doesn't seem to be a Stanwell shape number. I'll report back once it arrives if I can find any more...

    Estate Stanwell from Ebay

    Hello everyone, I just picked up this pipe on Ebay. It is stamped Stanwell, Military 1969. Has the crowned "S" on the stem. I'm pretty sure the "1969" doesn't mean that is when it was made, but does anyone know for sure. I can't wait to get it. I love the shape. I couldn't find anything about it...
