    Welcome from Ontario Canada.

    Peterson or IM Corona

    Love my Peterson. Don’t have an Old Boy, however, to compare it to. What I don’t like about the Peterson is that I can’t seem to find a butane nozzle that will fill it up without it spraying everywhere. I use the Xikar butane and it doesn’t fit properly. Bought a butane can from the local...

    Cellar Labels (community labels part) is down.

    Until it is up, I found this site which has a bunch of shared labels. Not sure if I’m allowed to link to another site. If not, please remove. Not sure if the poster is part of this group of not. https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/labels.618594/ Hope it helps.

    Pipe Smoking and Mental Health

    Reminded me of this bit in the movie Spirited. Good Afternoon Sir! Made me laugh.

    First Briar -- Buy New or Estate?

    For less than $100 Vauen makes an incredible pipe. I don’t know if you use filters or not, but if not, they have adapters. I use 9mm charcoal filters. Hard to beat the Vauen Basic pipe range for build quality vs. price IMO. Good selection on SP. Right now they’re only $58.50 USD. You won’t be...

    Does Everyone Use Pipe Filters?

    I use 6mm and 9mm charcoal filters. I prefer them. I have pipes that don’t take filters also. I bought these before trying filtered pipes. I will use them occasionally, but they are not my preference. To each his own.

    Peterson Lighter

    Hey all, Happy New Year! I love my Peterson lighter, however, when refilling with Xikar fuel, a great deal escapes. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? A tip that works properly? Thanks.

    Vauen Luxus White Dot

    I guess the one I bought originated for the German market. The dot looks white.

    Vauen Luxus White Dot

    Hey Mike, where in Ontario are you located?

    Vauen Luxus White Dot

    Thanks! W What is the equivalent model?

    Vauen Luxus White Dot

    Thanks Mike. My Vauens are my favourite pipes. I have two basics and I’ve carved my own from a Vauen briar kit. Nobody in Ontario here seems to carry them.

    Vauen Luxus White Dot

    Hey guys, I can’t find much info. on this pipe or comparable ones. Must be an older model. I don’t have many costly pipes. Mostly cobs, a pair of Savinellis and a pair of Vauen Basics. My preference is for 9mm filtered, so when I saw this pipe I pulled the trigger. Looked better than my basics...

    Why?

    😂 Yes this is tongue in cheek.
  15. Bassman65

    Why?

    I don’t think many are trying to be rude etc. maybe just looking for camaraderie. Like noted above, not too many pipe smokers around. I can’t talk about pipes and pipe smoking with my wife or kids, they just don’t care lol. Also, being fairly new to pipe smoking in comparison to many, advice is...

    No Licorice or Anise Flavour

    Yeah, but that sounds right up my alley (if anise free). I enjoy what I enjoy. I smoke with a filter. I like aro’s. I can’t figure out the breath method. Low nic hit and low maintenance sounds good to me. Would like to find a cheap OTC that’s an everyday smoke to add to my order.

    No Licorice or Anise Flavour

    Thanks all. The tobaccos I hear about most in the forums are SWR, Prince Albert, Carter Hall, Half and Half, Granger etc. Being in Canada, I’ve never had any of these. But they are spoken of so highly that they all sound almost mythical in their goodness! I feel like I’ve been really missing...

    No Licorice or Anise Flavour

    In my never ending quest to avoid all tobaccos with this flavour profile, I’ve seen Half and Half and SWR identified as no go’s. Do Prince Albert and Carter Hall also fall victim to this madness? 😂 Any other popular tobaccos out there to avoid? I’m always weary of pulling the trigger on...

    Quality Bits for Corncob Pipes

    Really eh? I bought a Bracken and mine only came with a green plastic stem. I got ripped 😂
