    Meerschaum routine cleaning

    Ditch the glove!! For me personally pipe smoking is a very tactile experience that involves all the senses. The feeling of a warm pipe in your hand is something special. Don't be afraid to hold the meer with your bare hands. Just go for it!

    Meerschaum routine cleaning

    Hey there folks! I hope everyone is doing well. I've got a few meerschaum pipes in my collection that I'm not altogether sure about how to clean when it comes to routine maintenance. With briars it's a bit more simple. Every few bowls you clean the pipe with alcohol and that seems to do the...

    Charatan Tobacco

    If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Charatan blends were announced before Peterson took over the production of the Dunhill blends. The Charatan mixture have been available in the UK for a while now. I haven't tried any myself but they are surreptitiously marketed as Dunhill exact copies.

    Do Cigar, Pipe, and Cigarette Tobacco Taste Different?

    I always thought that smoking different pipe tobaccos is like trying different blends of juice (orange, apple, prune.... etc), while smoking cigars is like trying different brands of the same kind of juice (for example different brands of OJ). The difference in cigar leaf is much more subtle...

    Fikri Baki pipes

    Quick update folks. I've settled on getting an Altinay pipe. Their work is amazing and comes highly recommended by almost everyone I've talked to. The model I want isn't currently available but will be soon. Said from Altinay is an absolute pleasure to deal with. I really cannot recommend...

    Fikri Baki pipes

    Thank you guys so much for your input. Its much appreciated! I found the Ali Express shop but sadly there's no way of contacting the seller directly. I've heard only great things about Altinay and IMP. Can't go wrong there I guess. Does anyone know how SMS meerschaum pipes compare? Are...
