Differences US tobacco vs EU tobacco
Well, you can't even compare the different EU Countries to each other, which have a very different regulation and availability of pipe tobacco. Austria is with a state distribution channel (Trafik) a really bad example of availability and variety of blends, whereas Germany has no restrictions...- Chris from Cigarworld

Favorite Virginia Tobaccos?
I can also recommend Amphora Virginia very much. I have seen in person how high quality Virginias are used for this blend as i visited the MB factory in October, and how they are processed. They are hot pressed, which gives the tobacco a kind of "aging in fast forward", and makes them very round...- Chris from Cigarworld

6mm charcoal filter recommendations
The Problem with Vauen Dr. Perl 6mm- Filters is, that they are designed to work with Vauen 6mm pipes. For most other pipes with 6mm drilling, they are too short- as you have experienced. Savinelli as well as White Elephant 6mm Charcoal Filters are a bit longer, and working just fine with most...- Chris from Cigarworld

Plastic in Capstan
Hi! If you have any chance, please write an Email with this Fotos to Mac Baren and/ or Sutfliff. Highly useful would be also a photo of the back of the tin with the codes. It might not help you in first step, but it would help the manufacturer a lot! Greetings, Chris- Chris from Cigarworld

Stanwell pipes
Well, that's partly correct. But this does not apply to every stummel. Let's say Dunhill 4103, the classical Billard and most sold Dunhill Shape. Yes, there is a high chance that they buy the stummels very roughly pre drilled from second sources. By the way, many other very popular big pipe-...- Chris from Cigarworld

Stanwell pipes
The problem with Peterson is that they are very low on their wood stocks. They have to calculate precisely who and where they sell pipes to. This is also the reason behind it why they push so hard for rustic and dark finishes. This problem will accure with other pipe manufacturers soon, stocks...- Chris from Cigarworld

Stanwell pipes
Absolutely not. Those news are made by the ones that don't like the brand- or even hate it. But i will see myself very soon. I will visit the factory in London on March 13th-15th.- Chris from Cigarworld

Stanwell pipes
The big Difference is that Dunhill -"The White Spot" still operates an own production facility, and the people in charge really have a profund knowledge about pipes and a lot of passion.- Chris from Cigarworld

Samuel Gawith In Europe?
Correct, we are forbidden by law to ship tobacco within the european union. And it depends a lot on the details for other destinations than the EU if we can ship tobacco or not. UK and USA is a big no until now. Sorry!- Chris from Cigarworld

Schowa Selected Briar Pipe
Hi, and congrats to your new pipe! As far as i know, Schowa was a wholesaler for smoking accesories and souvenirs, so i'm guessing your pipe is made by Heibe. The Shape is also very typical for this manufacturer. I'm also guessing your pipe is older, maybe 50-60's- ish. In the 70's 9mm filters...- Chris from Cigarworld

Pipes With Bamboo Shanks?
Congrats to your nice Mike Bay Bamboo. You really should have some patience with this pipe. As far as i know, you've only smoked it once. It needs maybe 10 more smokes before you can vaguely see if it really has a problem with condensation. That counts for every pipe in my opinoin. As many...- Chris from Cigarworld
