    Help With Virginia's and VaPer's

    In my limited time smoking a pipe I've found blends kind f grow on me. Almost like I need to practice smoking them. For example the Private blend 17 I got Monday was good Monday. Today it's fantastic and every bowl I've seemed to pick out different tastes. What was pepper Monday seems to have...

    Help With Virginia's and VaPer's

    Hey I'd send you a few bowls of Hal 'o the wynd if you ŵanna try it? Also I got some squadron leader, j.f germain 1820 and a house blend that I'm loving at the moment, gauntleys of Nottingham Bayou. It's a very stout smoke with 16% perique and very well blended. Glynn the blender states he adds...

    The Golden Pipe

    It does look nice but the most I'm prepared to pay for a pipe is £100 (158 to my us brothers) and even then that would e like my Xmas and birthday present to myself. I know or should I say I believe to an extent that money can buy you quality in some cases but I like my petes. They serve me just...

    My First Estate Pipes

    Update I have fallen in love with this pipe. Its the first Briar of my day (I use my trusty cobs until such time of day where I can relax) in my rotation and I like a bowl of Emp or peterson irish oak. Every bit of effort I invested in this pipe was worth it. Ive not even built cake up in it...

    Picked Up 3 Meers

    Today I went to pick up a pipe pouch I'd ordered from a collectibles shop and the owner asked if I'd like to buy 3 carved unsmoked meerschaum pipes he bought for display in his home in the 70s. Would I like to look at pipes? Lol! What a question! I'll keep the lady, she's kinda hot but the...

    First Pipe Making Attempt

    Thanks Irish. I'm going with the smooth paper but otherwise leaving it. It smokes so nice I don't wanna take anymore wood away and as I'll only ever smoke this in my den it don't matter how it looks. Smoke over aesthetic is my motto on this :D

    First Pipe Making Attempt

    Here is my first attempt at sculpting a pipe from a kit from Greece. It's nowhere near perfect but this is not only my first attempt at pipe making, it's my first woodworking attempt ever! It was a learning curve and hopefully my next will be neater. I'm not going to stain or polish it. I want...

    I'm quite new to pipes mate so my opinion is little on the educated side. I don't know about peterson blends but Gauntleys Bayou is without doubt a perique lol 16% in fact but I love it! Also private blend 17 sweet English. That's very nice for an English with perique. As for tinned, squadron...

    My First Estate Pipes

    Thanks old Cajun. I'm cool with it to be honest. I'm lucky enough to live in an age where dyslexia diagnosis was about when I was at school. Also I have some very cool software that helps me out when I need it. I do like to rely more on my brain than the computers though. I bet in the 70s it...
