    Wring out the Full Virginia Flake

    I left mine out for five days once and it was still too moist to smoke. Makes me wonder if they add a preservative to it

    Did Thanksgiving Day Sell Out Already?

    I checked yesterday the moment I woke up and saw that there was no option to "add to cart". At first I thought it was a bug so I checked later in the day, still no option, then finally before bed and no option. This evening I checked one last time and there was still no option to add to cart...

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

    Smoking some 2023 1792 Flake in an Altinay meerschaum. Wife was out here and I tried to get her smoking with some Autumn Evening. She quickly quit after smoking too fast. I’m not a fan of aromatics but I have been really gravitating towards “old world” aros, specifically lakelands...

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

    I've really been enjoying this blend this fall. It really has a dark stewed fruit, molasses flavor that really fits the bill for an "Autumn Blend"

    What Am I Missing With Brothers In Arms?

    Yeah I was hoping it would be similar to the HH series since Per was blending it. Still enjoying it but just not what I expected.

    What Am I Missing With Brothers In Arms?

    Dumb question but when people say let sit for a week to “breathe” is that with the lid open? Or just pop the seal and let it breathe with the lid on? Yes either way it’s good! Honestly tastes just like OJK to be honest but that’s just my palate.

    What Am I Missing With Brothers In Arms?

    Just got my smoking pipes order in for Per Jensen new legacy series. I ordered several tins of brothers and arms and it’s good but not what I was expecting. From the reviews I read, many were touting it as an ODF replacement or having a rich DFK presence but honestly all I’m getting from it is...

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

    Weather is getting cold here in Alaska and the leaves are starting to fall. Perfect time to break out dark fired blends. Smoking some HU Darkmoor to kick off Fall season. Very spicy and dark stewed fruits. Perfect Autumn blend. Smoking in the IMP.

    What Is With Petersons Using P-Lips For All Their New Releases?

    Can't imagine its cheaper and they don't seem to be that popular. I sure as hell don't like them. Wanted to pick up a Rua but they're all P-Lips. Miss my fishtail Petersons

    What Is the Future of Pipesmoking for Younger Generations?

    Being in my very late 20's, this is a question that many of us young pipe smokers anxiously wonder: What is the future of pipe smoking for us? I know many of you have had long fruitful lives of smoking a pipe but what does the veteran pipe smoking community think the future of pipe tobacco will...

    How Do Yanik Figural Pipes Smoke?

    There’s a particular figural piece I’ve been eyeing from Yanik and while there is no doubt his craftsmanship is unrivaled, how do his figural pipes actually smoke?

    Confusion on St. Bruno Ready Rubbed

    Its possible but frankly, I flake and RR seem almost like two different blends to me. While everything says they're the same, they taste completely different to me.

    Oh that is great news!!

    Confusion on St. Bruno Ready Rubbed

    I thought that STG would continue producing St. Bruno Flake but not ready rubbed. I was talking to a friend who said they would keep producing both and upon doing some research, I can’t seem to find a clear answer. Is SBRR going to continue being produced or just the flake?

    Washington Smoking Laws: Advice for Enjoying a Smoke?

    Washington will always be my home and I love it dearly but the change that has happened over the last 15 years has been terrible. Being stationed there in the time you were there was probably its peak

    AI Is Out To Destroy Your Pipes!

    Indeed. To me, what is scary is that the limitation is completely being stalled by legislation. Legislation is the metaphorical "Hoover Dam" that, if blown, will destroy everything. As soon as we get a group of greedy lawmakers together who have high level CEO's like Altman in their pockets...

    AI Is Out To Destroy Your Pipes!

    I am a data scientist by trade and education and specialize in AI and Machine Learning and let me tell you, it will be perfected some day and when it does, it will be terrifying and it is coming far sooner than anyone imagines. The only thing currently limiting it is legislation

    AI Is Out To Destroy Your Pipes!

    Well, seeing that AI only responds based on the data it can scrape from the web, train in a machine learning algorithm, connect the dots from unstructured data structures, and then vomit a response back, the answers its giving is really just bad answers that real people have posted on the internet.

    How much do you cellar?

    I usually allocate $100-150 a month for tobacco orders. I have about 5 tobaccos I know that I like and could smoke all day everyday so I just stock up on that. I have probably about 30lbs of tobacco cellared up, more than I will smoke over the next ten years for sure since I only smoke about...
