    The Clear Coats on Inexpensive Factory Pipes

    I got rid of all of my Savinelli rusticated pipes with a glossy clear coat type finish. It felt like I was smoking a plastic pipe. They just had no tactile feel. I love how Moretti smooth pipes are finished with a matte or light satin. So much more natural and pleasing. Feels like real briar. It...

    Perfect Pipe Collection. Less than 20 pipes.

    I feel the same way. It’s great to know what you are looking for in both pipes and tobacco. Now that I’m not buying pipes and since I only smoke about once a day, I don’t mind (so much) spending on expensive aged tobacco at Tinbids. Still beats $25-30 for a good cigar like a Padron.

    Wow. Might have to add one to collection. That’s high praise !!

    Radice Pipes

    You can get Radices for great price from either Smokingpipes or Alpascia.

    Radice Pipes

    I sent off to Smokingpipes along with some other estate pipes.

    Perfect Pipe Collection. Less than 20 pipes.

    I’m amazed at how ugly allot of new pipes are. If I add any in future will probably be Moretti. They just feel great in hand and have great proportions. Also, for some reason I prefer Gepetto line of pipes better than Ser Jacopo, which is their premiere line. I’m lucky to have inexpensive taste...

    Radice Pipes

    I bought one and am selling it. I’m not sure what it is about Radice pipes that don’t speak to me. I look at them often on the Alpascia website. They just don’t grab me the way Castello, Moretti, Savinelli, or even Gepetto pipes do. Something about transition from shank to bowl that turns me...

    Perfect Pipe Collection. Less than 20 pipes.

    I’ve achieved Nirvana. I no longer have PAD. After about 10 years, I’ve arrived at a collection of pipes under 20 that I feel will satisfy me for life. When I see videos or posts of smokers with a room full of pipes numbering over 100, I get anxiety. So I’m wondering who else has achieved...

    Pipe Stem is Sticking

    Wish I had figured this out earlier in my pipe journey, but at least I’ve never broken a stem or tenon. I’ve had a few instances where I was struggling twisting a pipe stem in an attempt to clean it while smoking. I feared for breaking, but I guess I’m luckily too weak. In any case my ultimate...

    Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

    If you went so “nuts” maybe you can unload some 40th Anniversary on me ! At a profit, of course !

    Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

    Yes. It’s human nature. We want more than we need. I beat myself up for not having a lifetime supply of 40th Anniversary, when years ago when it was easily available, I knew nothing about it. I think there is the fear that one might lose a very special experience. But at the same time, we can...

    Mixing Blends

    I’m very curious about the idea of mixing blends. Will it defeat the blender’s original purpose ? Will it be complimentary or just a muddled taste mess ? I have been mixing Pease Samarra with Westminster, 50/50. Samarra is edgier with perique and very complex. Westminster is rounder and sweeter...
