    Awesome Pipe rack

    Nothing "Impeccable" about the manufacturing of this either. I hate people who use words like "wow" in the description to try and impress you, and then try to inflate the value of the item. The humidor is not "lined with tin" either. It has a tin can set inside of it. Doesn't look like it was...

    McClellands

    I agree with the others in that I've not found one I didn't like. I recently got a sample of their Tastemaster Premium Aromatic, and dang is it good! Strong chocolate flavor from this one that's really nice.

    Macbarens Vanilla Flake

    I was initially disappointed in the flavor, but then had a "magic" experience smoking it in a Kaywoodie dublin. Suddenly I knew what all the fuss was about. Now, I have to say that part of the problem for me at least is technique, as I haven't been able to fully repeat that experience with the...

    DE Shaving

    Anyone who shaves with a cartridge razor will be amazed by the difference a "real" razor makes. Not just in price, but in the quality of the shave. I actually enjoy shaving now. I picked up a box of Arko shave sticks (the best soap in the known world IMHO) and 100 red personas for less than...

    Balkan Sovereignty - I think this is Funny, but Not Sure

    I don't think anyone would devote that much time to a joke. This guy seems to be dead serious. And quite the self-satisfied pompous ass IMHO. What's even more amusing is to go to the youtube page and ready the comments from viewers. :)

    Stinger or not to stinger that is the question

    You can do what you like to your own pipes to suit your tastes, but I will say that I will not buy any kaywoodies that have been cut like this (just an example, I know they aren't the only ones out there!). If you plan on being able to sell them some time in the future, I'd recommend leaving...

    Bulk McClellands matches

    +1 on the 5110. All the research I've done on the web says that's pretty darn close, so I'll be buying that in bulk instead of the FM tins. Haven't bought any yet, so I can't say from experience.

    Stokkebye vs MacBaren navy Flake?

    I guess I have to be the odd man out here. I like both of them, but I prefer the MacBarens myself. Maybe just because that was the first navy flake I ever smoked, and got used to it. LOL

    Woot! New Pipe

    Looks similar to a Kaywoodie stinger. I'd guess it's meant to do the same thing ie. remove some moisture from the smoke. It is cool looking though.

    Which Reamer Would You Recommend?

    I only have a senior reamer, and I've discovered that several of my pipes have a slight taper to them that the senior is well suited to. You just twist a couple times, reduce the diameter slightly and repeat till you get to the bottom. It seems to me that that reamer is designed to leave a...

    Why does Mcclellands smell like ketchup?

    Maybe that's true. I've never smelled anything like ketchup or pickles. Some of my favorites are from them, so I guess that's a good thing. :)

    McClelland and MacBaren

    I'm a big fan of MacBaren Navy Flake, Mixture Scottish Blend, and Club Blend, although I have others that I like, they are at the top of the list.

    You guys arent gonna believe this.

    I'm waiting on a package that was sent using Fedex "smart post". Fedex flew it up from CA to just outside of milwaukee and then gave it to the Post Office. Ok, that would make it local mail, so there must be some advantage to it right? It then sat there for two days, and now tracking shows it...

    Does ANYBODY actually like Borkum Riff?

    I first started smoking a pipe when i was 18, and my friends and I thought Captain Black and Borkum Riff were what everyone smoked. LOL Never cared much for any of either one's flavors, but out of nostalgia i bought a pouch of BK whiskey at the local grocery store. It was so dry it almost...

    Ebay Listing Makes Me Mad!

    That's why my ebay searches are set up not to show me anything out of the country. Too much garbage on Ebay from overseas. I also hate peoples tendencies to call any pipe "rare" or to put things like "wow!" in the description. I always treat those with suspicion since they're inflating the...

    New Members, Introduce Yourself!

    Hello everyone. I'm known on another pipe forum as mtsgsd, but I thought I'd pick something a little easier to translate here. I'm always looking for more places to get info, and buy/trade and this looks like a nice place!
