    Who Made my Irwin Ries?

    Come to the Chicago Show and ask Chuck yourself. Iwan is always a big vendor at and sponsor of the exhibition.

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    The pipe set was commissioned to celebrate the house build. I only moved up after Thanksgiving. So, yeah, first 50°+ day since then. We're in Southern Wisconsin. There was new snow on the ground two day ago.

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    Not the best picture as we were staring into the sun, but we finally had a nice enough day to christen the set! They smoked effortlessly, thanks again, Jesse!

    Farewell Sutliff Tobacco Company - Monday 3/4/25

    You can pretty much always say "yes" to that question.

    Who Is H.G.P. of Barclay Rex Fame?

    If be curious to ask @SBC and @TheIronMonkey how this account jives with whatever secret theory they were hinting at earlier.

    GB Boards on Walls

    If this is an example of what you're asking about, then Sablebrush52 is correct. Tudor style, half-timbered construction is based on medieval timber framing. Instead of covering the frame with clapboard siding, they filled in the voids with wattle and daub or cob or plaster or whatever. Without...

    Tobacco Prices In Ireland & Good Places To Buy It

    My spouse was just at Miss Morans on a vacation. She left you one tin of SG Bothy flake. The rest of their old stock is safely stored here in Wisconsin.

    Who Is H.G.P. of Barclay Rex Fame?

    The way SBC is talking, I would guess it stands for Harry Gryffindor Potter, and that if one were to collect the pipes and arrange them into the correct pattern, it would open a portal to another dimension.

    Pipe Travel Question

    To say nothing of the hat.

    Pipe Travel Question

    The UK will allow you to bring 250 grams of tobacco for personal use on your trip. You will have to look up the allowances for the other nations on your itinerary. London has an active social group, The Pipe Club of London, who meets monthly at a Pub with a large-ish outdoor smoking area in a...

    Help Me Design a Meer

    Yes! That kind of thing is really neat. Like those dutch wedding spoons with the captured ball carving. "How'd they do that" kind of work.

    Help Me Design a Meer

    I think the coolest thing that can be done in meerschaum and not briar is real piercing work. It'll take a couple grams off the weight, too!

    The Voice of Gawith Hoggarth

    So it is like the airport stores? The retail customer has to be moving between countries. Curious.

    The Voice of Gawith Hoggarth

    When they say the buyer is "the duty free" zone of an Asian country, what does that mean? Surely they're not talking about the airport stores. Is that a back-door way to distribute outside the purchasing country?

    Laudisi/C&D is making their play

    I would wager that the derth of red virginias of any distinct quality is much more a market supply issue than a matter of any particular blending house's techniques with the leaf.

    Aged at Sea?

    I can't remember or quickly find the name of the scientific principle, but you really, really wouldn't want barrels of any liquid "sloshing around" on an ocean-going ship. Those things better be filled to the brim or else you get a mass that amplifies motion with a center of gravity higher...

    Thoughts on Good Pipe Racks?

    Forum member Loren had some really cool, modular, leather, sling stands. Don't know if he's still making them, but they were the most original display system I had seen in the last few years

    Will The STG Market Disruption Create Opportunity For Boutique Blenders?

    I'm sure the regulatory burden is high, and would take up an inordinate amount of administrative attention for any new blender's venture - but the real hurdle is supply of raw materials. As competition amongst brokers and buyers goes away through consolidation, there is less and less incentive...
