    Gandalf, the Churchwarden Clencher

    I'd imagine they cased their tobaccos in some manner. I've read somewhere that Hobbits enjoy multitudes of flavors and that's why their pantries are so large. I've always imagined Longbottom Leaf as a Burley, Old Toby as an aged Virginia, and Southern Star as a cased aromatic blend.

    Dagner pipes

    I have a Dagner cob, one of the first pipes I ever bought 3 years ago. Still smokes great. Lot's of character.

    Is Having a Rotation Necessary?

    Why own pipes that you don't smoke? This is exactly why I have an organized rotation; so I know that I'm smoking all my purchases. Space and money are too valuable in my collection to own a pipe I don't want to smoke.

    Is Having a Rotation Necessary?

    I have multiple rotations. Which I smoke is based on the tobacco I feel like smoking. I have an English pipe rotation for English tobaccos. I have an Italian rotation for Virginias. I have an American rotation for Burleys and Perique. I have a Danish rotation for Aromatics. I like all the...

    Pipes You Wanna Add to Your Collection

    Would also really love to get a Scott Thile at some point. See below for a sample of his work. Out of the current USA artisan pipes, I like his the best. Have yet to get one though. Someday.

    Any Blue Riband or Mike Butera. Both seem to be impossible to find.

    Capstan & Tolkien

    For someone on a teacher's salary in the 1950-70s to have POUNDS of one type of tobacco, it would have to be their most smoked blend. Whether that is because it was a favorite or because it was the most readily available in Oxfordshire is up for debate. But it is clearly what Tolkien smoked the...

    Capstan & Tolkien

    I prefer Blue; it reminds me of a very lightly sweetened English Tea. I'm sure it goes great with tea, tbh. Gold is a little light for me. Would be a great all day smoker no doubt.

    Hobby Denial

    If you have more than a handful of pipes (go ahead and see if you can fit all of them in ONE of your hands) then you are a collector. Hobby. If you have more than five different tobacco blends, you're collecting (yes, we call it cellaring in the hobby). Hobby. Also, what the heck is so wrong...

    New Ashton Old Church vs New Castello Old Antiquari?

    I have 6 or 7 early to mid 90s Ashtons and they all smoke fantastic. From what I understand Bill's work didn't suffer until the 2000s.

    Treadway Pipes

    Has anyone ever heard of this pipe maker? I have a few of these pipes and they were made in the early 1990s apparently. The marking is simply "Treadway" in a cursive script.

    New Ashton Old Church vs New Castello Old Antiquari?

    Get an estate Ashton. It will be cheaper and you'll likely get better quality.
