    New Warped Tobaccos

    I smoked the Rocky Patel test blends, the Warped is better.

    Pick Up A Rinaldo

    Agreed. Excellent pipes and worth their price. I have a few and they smoke great. Sad they don’t get talked about a lot.

    Do You Have a Different Hobby?

    Does collecting cigars count?

    Tsuge Grading

    They used to be letter graded when there was a bigger Tsuge collector market, early 2000’s. The around 05-06 they switched to using Japanese symbols which hurt their collectibility at the time. Not sure if/when they switched back.

    Pierre Morel Estate Pipe

    He’s been making pipes for decades, he should know what he’s doing. Beautiful pipe and I bet it will be a great smoker.

    Picked up a Tinsky

    Congratulations, that’s a beautiful pipe. Mark is a great pipe maker and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.

    Warped Cigars

    To me a good Cuban Punch has a certain sourness (in a good way) and tang that only Cubans can have. I would say Warped would be the non-Cuban version of a Ramon Allones mixed with a Quai D’ Orsay. Hope that makes sense.

    Warped Cigars

    I always tell people don’t spend a lot of money on crazy rare and high priced cigars from anyone. If they put out great cigars in their lower priced lines (ie.Fuente, Padron) then their higher priced cigars are worth smoking. I would personally start with the Cloud Hopper. I think the retail...

    Thoughts On Brunu Nuttens Pipes?

    I do not own one, but I follow him on Instagram and his pipes look beautiful. Out of his three lines I find myself drooling over Heritage Series and plan on adding a Bing to my collection. I would love to see details of his stem work, thickness/thinness of the button and what kind of funneling...

    Erik Stokkebye Pipes

    Tom Eltang made the pipes for the first few years. They were actually well-priced for Eltangs.

    Warped Cigars

    I love them. Kyle blends his cigars more to a medium bodied, floral flavor profile because he is a fan of Cuban cigars. Check out the Warped site or any of his interviews on YouTube. A few lines are rolled in Miami and the rest are rolled by Aganorsa. If you need some suggestions let me know.

    Lost and Found

    I had almost the same thing happen to me. I had an old 70’s Algerian briar bulldog that went missing from my collection for a few years and I completely forgot about it. My wife found it in a bag in our closet, along with a couple of dried out cigars. We have no idea how they got into a bag of...

    21 year old McClelland 5100

    I think we all thought that the first time smoking 5100. It took me quite awhile to understand it. All of my pipe buddies were smoking it and telling me buy as much as I could to cellar. Depending on how much you have, I would give it a few more chances. Don’t look for too much complexity, but...

    Estate Viking Classic "HANDMADE" - Need Thoughts Quickly Perhaps?

    They are solid factory pipes for the price. The owner of the brand was a great guy and was in the industry for decades. He sadly passed a few years ago and P&C purchased his remaining inventory ( and I think the name ).

    Thrifty Storage: The Tupperdor vs. The Coolidor

    I have had cigars stored in bags with Boveda packs stored for over 10 years and they smoke great. I have also had a 150 cooler and have no issues. In my cooler I have it set up with an oasis humidifier because I got tired of replacing so many boveda packs.

    What's Your White Whale?

    Troost Slices. Not often talked about, but a legend among old-timers.

    Vintage Tobacco

    Great can! Since EBay cracked down on tobacco sales Pipestud would be the person to sell it. Great guy with a stellar reputation in the pipe community . Good luck.

    IPSD Festivities

    Would love to know your thoughts. I smoked Renaissance so much I had a dedicated pipe for it. I have not smoked any since probably 2005. I have one tin left and just hope it aged well. Hope you enjoy it.
