    What Blend did your Grandfather Smoke?

    My Grandfather smoked the large tubs of Captain Black (White and Gold) and Sir Walter Raleigh. Strangely, I don’t recall seeing any of the other classic OTCs in his garage…

    New Larry Roush Pipe

    I was able to get my hands on a Larry Roush at a decent price today! From what I've read, I'm in for a treat. He made this one in 2003 and it's a beauty! Any committed Roush fans? What are your thoughts?

    TAD - I Went Crazy with a C&D Haul

    Update: I REALLY like Bourbon Bleu and Exhausted Rooster. What I like about the BB is the combo of flavors and the crumble cake (for fun). What I like about the ER is the topping. I’m not an aro guy, and this isn’t an aro, but it tastes similar to the F&T Virginia line, to me. It’s a blend...

    TAD - I Went Crazy with a C&D Haul

    I recently went a little nuts and ordered an array of Va/Per/Bur/Or blends from C&D and wanted to share my experience. First, kudos to SmokingPipes for a very timely shipping experience. Second, kudos to C&D for an amazing group of tobaccos. I have to confess that, for years, I've had a hit...

    Social or Anti-Social Pipe Smoker?

    I probably prefer to smoke solo in order to focus on all the fun and quirky aspects of the tobacco and lighters and pipe etc. But I also love smoking with others, especially if they have McClellands to share... which they never do.

    Social or Anti-Social Pipe Smoker?

    This. %100. I love pipe smokers.

    Would McClelland Sell Their Recipes and Methods?

    Wonderful thought. I really value this view of the discussion.

    Would McClelland Sell Their Recipes and Methods?

    If this is truly the McC perspective, it’s quite sad; both for those of us who enjoyed it, and for the makers who created it to be enjoyed.

    Tamping And The Bottom Of The Bowl?

    I may be on the sensitive end of the taste spectrum but once I lose interest in the bowl I’m smoking, I dump it. I do my best not to be wasteful but if the magic of the smoke is over and the fat lady has sung, I clean the pipe and start a new bowl. Furthermore, when I’ve attempted to smoke all...

    Smoking a Pipe at 36

    Just turned 40. Been smoking a pipe since I was 18. Knew I wanted to smoke a pipe when I was 16. I enjoy pipe smoking so much that I often dislike the attention it can sometimes draw. I want to say, “Just leave me to my pipe and tobacco!” Nevertheless, people often strike up conversations...

    Pipe Lighter Recommendations

    I hate to tell you this but, in the words of Bono, “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.” The closest I’ve come to a very reliable pipe lighter is the IM Old Boy I paid $140 with a gift card I had been saving. It has been virtually flawless. But the expense!?!?!? I also have a knock off...

    I Hope in 2021, I Will... (Pipe Related)

    I hope to, at least once, experience that unspeakable joy of discovering an amazing but forgotten pipe in an antique store, while holding a good cup of to-go coffee in my hand. Then, if it's not asking too much, I hope for the hours later that evening to research and clean said pipe, while...

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2021?***

    Smoking some McClelland Va No.27 (my first time trying this blend) in a Koncak Meerschaum.

    Did The Judgemental Fat Old Man In Red Underwear Leave You Good Boys A New Tabak Or Pipe?

    How Many Bowls Do You Smoke?

    I smoke 1-2 bowls each night, if I'm lucky. If I have enough free time, I'll smoke 3 bowls in a night. Like others have mentioned here, more than 3 bowls in a day gives me some mouth fatigue and I regret it the next day. But then I smoke a pipe anyway... Sometimes, after three bowls in a...

    Old Dark Fired=Old Reliable

    I enjoy ODF but the past couple smokes have had a lot less flavor near the last third of the bowl. With a good deal of tobacco left there was a lot of smoke, but I simply lost the taste of the tobacco. After it happened once I thought it was a fluke. The second time it happened I started to...

    PSA: DO NOT Buff Stems That are Off the Stummel

    Believe it or not I’ve had well known pipe repair outfits buff away logos on original stems of expensive pipes... pipes from brands that, unless you know nothing about pipes at all, you would know not to mess with the logo on an original stem. Astounding. Angering.

    Meerschaum Stems: A Frustrating Situation

    I’ve got four black stems on the way from Meer Market... they’re only 3.5cm long! Ah! Two years ago Briarville did a repair for me and the stem they sent back was fantastic. I’m thinking about sending that stem to them and asking them if they’ll recreate it (times 7)!
