    Double Filtered Pipe

    Well ofc it won't be the same as having a filtered pipe, but they do help tame alot of blends ime... and alot of people don't even know about them hence why I made the suggestion to 9mm

    Dunhill Bought in the Danish Pipe Shop

    Yeah I mean I definitely love their style an providence.. and I have heard they are nice and light. But my point/question was just the quality assurance aspect... I'd have thought with such a high price you'd be paying for them to sort out the lemons and send them off to be squeezed lol. Again...

    Super Bowl!

    32 yo here and I'm with ya too lol. Though I think I do know what it was.. but we're just not allowed to talk about that kinda stuff here 🙃

    The Contradiction I Feel.

    And because, as mentioned previously, these deeming rules will basically kill any innovation that took place since 2007 ad infinitum. Sadly enough that was also a big part of this decision from what Leonard said. And depending on how much the FDA decides to crack down on that in the years to...

    I've Seen It All Now - Japanese Fighting Pipes

    Yeah I'm sure the 2 atomic bombs, unconditional surrender, and 7 years of Marshal Law military occupation had something to do with that too... 😬

    Dunhill Bought in the Danish Pipe Shop

    I was gonna say, not to sound like a dick to OP's acquisition, but isn't this supposedly why Dunhills cost literally 10x what other pipes that look exactly like them do? lol Like other than their name they mostly use basic shapes (not an insane artistry level of design or handiwork). If I...

    Thank-You Mr. Wortzel!

    I also think the other issue, as was alluded to by others (including Per Jenson, iirc), is that this purchase deal itself was rushed through extremely quickly due to an imminent strengthening of Denmark's Anti-Trust Laws which would have almost certainly made it illegal (STG being seen as having...

    Hemp Twine for Lighting Your Pipe

    Google how ferrocerium rods are made (They're not "flints" that's a term)... it's not exactly breaking news that these materials are toxic... idk what about my comment was so funny

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2025?***

    What do you think about that blend? I really like Balkans, especially Magnum Opus. I missed out on getting more Black House. Would you say it'd be worthwhile picking up some while still available? Is it decent quality orientals?

    I've Been Gone 5 Years...What the Hell Happened?

    Definitely browse through C&D some more... and Pease/Drucquers for some more Latakia blends. One can make a semi-convincing argument that if you enjoy those types of blends that you're not gonna actually be missing much from this other than Sutliff's Match blends. Def try to keep an eye...

    I've Been Gone 5 Years...What the Hell Happened?

    It's always the wrong time lol... my 5 years was from 2014-2019... Imagine my face hopping back in and finding out that my Holiday Spirit has been dead for the past 2 years 🙃 haha

    Cobblestone Black Coffee

    I recently tried the Walnut Maple Pie and found the same thing. Sure there was some aromatic there (I'm a big aromatic fan so I'm not someone who's gonna complain about an aromatic being an aromatic lol) but mostly just bitterness. In fact, it was a bitterness I'd never really experienced...

    Are we Really Losing That Much With the Closures of Mac Baren and Sutliff?

    Def hope so too. Even just for you guys but I'd also like to try it one day and never had yet. Not to be a downer but I did see someone else on here stating that even though the series was made by Kopp, Sutliff/MB had the rights to the whole trademark if not blend recipe and therefore was just...

    Are we Really Losing That Much With the Closures of Mac Baren and Sutliff?

    Peterson/Dunhill is STG and the dude who axed Sutliff/MacBaren stated that by 2028 they will almost certainly be cutting some if not all of these too. He claims the Dunhill blends actually sell pretty poorly (by their standards) in the U.S. I'd try to stock up on those if I were you and you...

    Double Filtered Pipe

    No problem :) Not to give you an excuse to drop more money than we already do but if you should have the opportunity, def give one a try sometime... again especially if you gravitate to wetter blends. My personal favorites are the Brigham Rock Maple "Distillator" as they call it. They're hollow...

    Double Filtered Pipe

    It depends a bit on the filter used but, in general, the filter works more as a sponge than an actual "filter". I.E. the main purpose, as most are designed, is really to sit in the bottom part of the shank/stem in order to sop up excess moisture which tends to condense there. Hence eliminating...

    Don't worry, it's just the MacQueen... they could make anything taste good. Boom. Identity crisis averted.. 😉😂
