    Cleaning an Estate Pipe - Sonic Cleaner

    Michael. what do you put in for clear perspex? The same (a few drops of dish soap) as the colored? I've got some badly stained airways on some of my GBDs.

    Specialty Coffee

    @ johnnyreb I don't know about the can you're talking about. The coffee concentrate for our machines comes in plastic "bags" or better description, soft plastic boxes which are placed inside the machine. You select size of serving by poking the appropriate button on the front of the machine and...

    Specialty Coffee

    The chain of brewery/restaurants I work for replaced the coffee makers with contraptions that rehydrate liquid concentrate with hot water to make "coffee". I walked into work one morning early like always, and ran into a guy putting in a big square box where the coffee machine used to be. He...

    Size of cubes when cube-cutting flake? Pics?

    +1 Yaz I've tried just about all the methods of flake prep and find that I agree with yazamitaz about the "z" fold method. I also like some kindling on top and at least one good char and tamp to get a good flat "coal" to light. I haven't opened any of my tins of Capstan yet so I don't know how...

    I Finally Figured Out the Secret!

    I bought a fair bit of both Dunhill EMP and SG Squadron Leader at the same time several years ago, thinking they should be fairly similar. I like the Squadron Leader well enough but still have some of the original order. EMP turned out to be on of my favorite tobaccos and I've had to buy many...

    Early Morning Pipe

    I'm a big fan of EMP. A good weekend morning start includes EMP, a big mug of good coffee and 45 minutes to an hour of quiet contemplation. I usually smoke it in a fairly big pipe and try to sip fairly slowly although it rarely bites if I lose my concentration and start puffing like mad. I...

    4 NOGGINS

    Just got a sample of BHT from Rich and the crew of 4Noggins in an order that arrived today. With this many rave reviews, I'm hoping to like it.

    Michael Parks' Rhodesian Set

    The smooth is breathtaking but all three are absolutely beautiful and I hope they bring you hours of enjoyment.

    Capstan Blue Flake

    I'm glad you've ventured into the world of flakes, blue! Now you'd better duct tape your wallet shut because there are lots of really good ones out there and your TAD might just kick in hard!

    My First Peterson

    @macabra11 Just finished smoking a bowl of Dunhill EMP in my Pete 309. Paired with a big mug of good coffee, it was a great way to start a lazy Sunday morning!

    Edgeworth Sliced

    I recently purchased (through EBay) a 14 ounce can of Edgeworth Sliced tobacco still sealed in its original can. I thought it quite possible that the can had been compromised through rust and it was, on the bottom. The tobacco inside was very dry and the very bottom layer of slices had rust on...

    Dunhill Shape 29

    I saw those two and thought of you immediately, Al. The 129 (29) is just beautiful and we both really like that shape!

    A pipe with my morning cofee

    +1 settersbrace There is nothing quite as nice as EMP and a cup of good coffee first thing in the morning. I'm doing both right now!

    First VaPer: H&H Anniversary Kake

    4noggins' Prairie Wind (more perique) and Alamosa (less perique) are two of my favorite VaPers. A little dry time necessary for either but both are very good. The tin note of PW is heavenly, almost chocolatey and the perique tastes very "plummy" to me, not as spicy, peppery as some of my other...

    Cajun Generosity! Thanks To The Old Cajun & His Young Lady

    The old Cajun has been kind to me as well, and a finer man, pipe smoker and all around gentleman can't be found, on or off this forum. Once again Bradley, you have shown a generosity that makes you a credit to know. Congrats to all involved.

    Regina, Saskatchewan Meet Up.

    Super time was had by all and we are looking for more pipers to join us. PM one of us if you're from the area (Regina, SK) and we can do this again. I figured the Brown Bogie would give the blueeyedogre a good nic hit and I was not disappointed. I managed to score a few samples of CH and Prince...

    Traditional Styles In Meerschaum

    I'm in for a PM meer, as well. I've gotten very good smokes from good meers and while I have an eagle's claw/egg figural from MeerQueen, I much prefer regular pipe shapes for my meer pipes. For me, it would be a nice smallish/medium bent brandy or egg. which would be nice with the PM logo carved...
