    Savinelli 320ks Question

    I have one and it gets Wilderness and Squadron Leader in it. Haven't tried anything else in it yet. Tend to keep my VaPers and Oriental leaning blends in pipes under .80. Took me a bit to start building cake in it. Sometimes I find the center burns faster then the edges and have to tamp...

    TAD - Order Arrived today

    Rsuninv gifted me some Squadron Leader. Very nasty, just a nice light, slightly creamy, sweet English. I will be ordering more. I smoked Black House during the Black House madness two years ago. I liked it but it was a bit heavy for me. I normally smoke Vaper/Oriental blends, however Im...

    Dunhill Early Morning Pipe

    Could be Andy. I tend to like lighter Englishes and Orientals so EMP is right up my alley. However I will say I find myself able to muck up the flavors if I start puffing a bit much when I clench. It's a tobacco I prefer sitting down instead of up and moving around. The smoke is a bit thinner...

    What's your favorite pipe?

    My smooth Peterson XL315 I bought for $35 from Marty Pulver's when I first started smoking- 2 years ago. My grandfather had one when I was a kid. It's not pretty but it smokes VaPer's fantastically. One a side note, I have an identical one (also from Marty) in a rusticated finish and it...

    Is my Pioneer Meerschaum Authentic?

    There's also the chance that the logo was buffed off if it's an estate. That's a constant decision when it comes to estates. Do I leave the green oxidation dot around the logo or do I go all black and risk buffing it off? On estates you can usually tell if the stems been buffed a lot by...

    Review: Luxury Bulls Eye Flake

    Good stuff. I tend to find it smokes a bit thin and hay like when it's fresh and a little rounder and smooth when it's got a year or so one it. I've only been smoking 2+ years, but the stuff I stashed early on smokes much better. It's something I can foresee always having around. The bottom...

    Beards and Beard Oil

    I'll offer mine. 38. It's something I started using maybe a year and a half ago. I like it. I don't have any hair left on my head, so it gives me something to comb and fuss over. Ha.

    Early morning pipe

    EMP, Skiff, and LEO are all very fine morning smokes for me. Paired with a cup of coffee, I'm quite content.

    Beards and Beard Oil

    I just have a van dyke now but I use Honest Amish Beard Balm about $14 on Amazon. I'm not sure how much it helps growth since my facial hair grows pretty fast, but I really like the shine and softness it lends. It's also good for keeping those contrary rogue hairs from getting out of place...

    Peterson Balkan Delight

    Irish Oak is a really nice tobacco IMO. It tends to bug my mouth a bit, however I snagged another tin to celler.

    Peterson Balkan Delight

    Man's Best Friend is quite tasty. I would have smoked the whole tin, but Burley makes my mouth hurt.

    Iwan Ries Exclusives House Pipes Online: Gone!

    I had been watching one of those straight billiards for a bit. It was the one with the thick/sturdy shank and stem. Looked like a perfect example of function over form. Just a solid looking pipe. I noticed the other day it was gone. I kept threatening to buy it, but I think I admired it's...

    Dove into a meer

    Cortez. No matter how you slice it...that's just playing "dolly" with your pipe. j/k

    Attention Bourbon Fans

    I drank quite a bit of Buffalo Trace, but I've really been getting along with the last few bottles of Woodford Reserve I've bought. Right now it's my go to. Reminds me of Buffalo Trace with a bit more depth.

    Peterson of Dublin

    Great pipe. System Pipes. I have several and find they smoke no drier. They require a tad bit more cleaning (can be a lot if you get an estate), but overall, "meh". I don't notice any generalizations across the construction. I can make anything gurgle. That being said. I DO really enjoy my...

    Another Pipe For My Peterson Collection

    Dur when I'm rich and famous I'm going to hire you to pick out pipes for me. Another beauty. I normally don't like gold on pipes, but the stain and cumberland stem really make it work.

    My second briar Stefano Santambrogio, did I do good?

    When I got into the hobby I'd look at $50 pipes and go, okay that's my limit. Then it moved to $80-$100. Then it was $200. Now it's creeping a bit to $250-300. I think at $70 bucks you did good. Bare in mind, I think a lot of new people (myself included) make instant judgement on 1 or 2...

    Finally Joined the Brigham Chinook Fan-Club

    McSorley, Semenko, and McCelland helped. Hey I'm keeping it on topic, I mentioned McCelland. Kidding. Grats on the pipe.

    Hilson Pipe

    I'm actually a big Hilson fan. I've picked up some very good estates for a little bit of coin. While I've never bought them brand new, I do own a few of their non-Belgium stamped pipes and those smoke just as good as their older cousins. A trait mine seem to have is they smoke very dry. Yours...

    New pipe smoker with a recent purchase.

    While it doesnt seem like an estate, my two Peterson meers had the logo buffed off the stem. I like it.
