    Do Pipers Keep Their Pipes Cleaner Today

    Most of my daily use pipes have stainless tubes lining the shank. Cleaning is a breeze. Pipe cleaner to soak up the moisture... done. I will scrape the bowl once my ring finger no longer fits into it. I wipe them down, keep the rim clean, but that's about the extent of it. They are not abused...

    Grow Your Own

    Hell with the tobacco... just give me that 600 sq. meters with the shed. That sounds amazing, Puff. Enjoy it. There are several guys here who have planted their own. I'm sure they will chime in. Cosmic is the first that comes to mind. He is quite knowledgeable in regards to growing. Good luck.

    Leather Care Question?

    Odd question, I know. I'm always searching for the best product for leather care. Mainly bags, briefcases, etc. Mink oil is suitable for work boots and deck shoes, but it leaves an oily film not suitable for quality leather goods in my opinion. I found this company online, which I'm curious to...

    Share Your Thoughts On Erinmore Flake

    Interesting. I like Erinmore once in awhile. I personally think that it is more aromatic than RY, but about equal to University Flake. It really all depends on prep too. I tend to let Erinmore dry out to almost crispy before I smoke it. Usually at that point, much of the topping is gone. Juicy...

    Requesting A Rum/Per Recipe

    Mayfair's advice is sound. The only thing you might want to take note of is that Perique tends to come on the wet side to begin with. It might behoove you to dry a bit before attempting the rum infusion.

    Parsons' Pleasure Pipe Tobacco

    If I recall, most UK shops will not accept credit cards from the US because of card processing laws. You could try to find a shop that will do PayPal or send a money order or something. Wire transfer is an option, but that might be cost prohibitive for 1 tin.

    Bee's Waxed Hemp Wick Pipe Lighting

    Jesus, no wonder everyone carries a man purse. Some of you guys got more shit than a woman. I'll stick to the Bic.

    Fun To Review Your Unopened Tins

    I tend to not have much that I haven't tried already, but it's always interesting to go through the cellar and see what I have forgotten about. Was searching for something the other day and was amazed by some of the blends I hadn't realize I had. Inevitably this leads me to having too many...

    The Perfect, Inexpensive Yet Classy, Travel Kit (pics)

    I have seen these online and thought it might work, but afraid to pull the trigger and wind up with something useless. Might be worth another look.

    A Very Short History Of Player's Digger Tobacco - >Image Heavy

    Very cool. Al has a lot of work on his hands finding all of MLC's cool Tobacciana posts. That must be why they suckered hired Fordm on as a Mod. :laughat:

    Anyone Smoke Just 1 Or 2 Pipes?

    I have about 50 pipes, but of those there is a rotation of about 8-10 that see regular action. Out of that 8 or so... I will grab a pipe, smoke it for a couple days, maybe a week if it strikes my fancy, then put it in the rack and move on to another. I could survive with 2 or 3 pipes for...

    What Makes Dunhill RY Such A Nic Monster?

    First, what it tastes like to anyone else doesn't mean squat to me. Taste is subjective, which is why some people like Brussels Sprouts and some don't. Second, I didn't say it "tasted" like Burley, I said it had a Burley like character. Rich and full with more bass notes and lacking the...

    In Search Of A Pipe Carrying Case......

    My Uncle would likely have the same reaction. The reality is though--good or bad--that most of the pipe smokers that we interact with on a daily basis, are not in the "one pipe, one tobacco" mentality. Everyone is concerned with rotation. Guys have different blends for different...

    In Search Of A Pipe Carrying Case......

    Sorry for the multi-posts. Al, if you are out there, can you delete all but one. Must have happened when the site was having a stroke.

    In Search Of A Pipe Carrying Case......

    I have mine. I wear one at least 4 days a week, and make it a habit when I go out. I wish I could say the same for most others I see out and about. I'd like to say it is only a symptom of people in my generation, but that would be untrue. The general quality of dress of most people in this day...
