    Christmas Pipes And Tobaccos From My Wifey

    Congrats! I really like that Wilke. I had (broke the stem at work) an unfinished Savinelli I paid 40 bucks for and it smoked just as well as any other pipe I owned. I've been eyeballing those unfinished Nordings. Hell. I guess I eyeball every pipe...

    Graduating From Basket Pipe to Higher Quality Questions

    Good stuff Ty! That Dunhill Sampler is a good buy. Don't worry about filter. I'd just pop that bad boy out and smoke it. I've got a few Peterson's now and I've been very pleased with all of them.

    PAD/TAD Related New Years Resolutions

    I'm about 18 months in and this year I want to focus more on pipes. I spent the first year getting acquainted with blends and building a nice budgeted pipe selection.

    The Blends to Try by Genre

    While not in your original post, I have to offer up one of my favorite examples. Va/Per/Cavs PS LBF Rattray's Marlin Flake. These two really range between the drier hay-like LBF to the sweeter heavier Marlin Flake and I think that makes them a good example of the possible range of the...

    My First Briar Cracks Where the Stem Fits the Bowl...How to Repair?

    http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/cracked-peterson-restoration-pics Yep that's a repair band. I've had good luck using briar dust from previous restore jobs and superglue on cracked briar. Use something small like a dental pick to pack the crack, then a layer of glue on top. Sand it down...

    What Are You Smoking? December 2013

    Rattray's Red Rapparee in a meer lined old Hilson billiard. This stuff gets better now that it's been open for two weeks. Doesn't taste as thin as it did at first. Still don't know if it's on the cellar list.

    You know I've never really taken to ebony finish pipes, but that bent bulldog is really handsome. It looks much better in that photo then on the websites. How does that ebony smoke?
