    Florida Pipe Smokers Meet - Saturday July 22

    We're looking to get together on Saturday July 22. Time would be noon. Site TBD, either Edwards Cigar or one of the Cigar Bars in Ybor City. It's likely too hot to sit outside at Edwards and their back room isn't big enough to comfortably seat more than 6 if memory serves correctly. Myself...

    Altinok - 100 Bowls Smoked

    May be 97, may be 105 but very close to 100. This pipe has colored great and is a fantastic smoker.interesting how I've done nothing different with this pipe while I've smoked over 500 bowls in my IMP and Altinay and they're nowhere close in coloring.

    Puffing With BenT

    John called me a couple of days ago, introduced himself and said he’s visiting nearby and would like to get together. We agreed to meet at the Maduro Cigar Bar in Sarasota. We just spent 3 1/2 hours hanging out, smoking and drinking a beer or two. Great guy, I really enjoyed meeting John and...

    Tim West Meerchaum Stem Repair

    Received my Altinok Meer back from Tim West today 4 weeks to the day he received it. Not perfect but significantly improved over what I experienced with Briarville. Tim took the existing stem, cut off the bit end and replaced that. As you can see, not a perfect match but in daylight, you can...

    Alternative to Briarville for Stem Replacement

    I sent my Altinok to Rich at Briarville to replace the stem. I wrote to match for as close as possible and wanted wide and thin since I'm a clincher. Below is what I received back. He also told me it would be $35 to $45, it was $59. Below is what I received back. Why couldn't be have sent me a...

    My Altinay - 2 Years Later

    Out of curiosity, I checked and found I bought my Altinay Meer near the end of January 2021. Right at 2 years ago. Here are some new and now photos. I've smoked this pipe almost every day, it's safe to say it has over 600 bowls smoked. Hasn't colored as much as I might have expected but when...

    Incredible Cigar Deal

    I normally don't publicize deals but I think this one is outstanding. Olivia Serie V 135th Anniversary, 12 of these Perfectos for $69.99. I have zero affiliation, just passing along the deal. I bought 3. Olivia V 135th Anniversary

    What a Gift!!

    This place never ceases to amaze. This is hands down my favorite blend. If they were still for sale, I’d buy 100 tins in a heartbeat. Smoked a ton about a month ago, savored every puff. Tried trading for some, no bites. But @HawkeyeLinus decided to send two tins on his own from the 2000 crop...

    More Incredible Generosity

    I posted a want to trade for thread. @AJL67 pm'ed me about 1 1/2 pounds of MB Virginia No 1. He said he'd just send it since I'd included a tin of two with some tobacco he purchased. We argued, he insisted, okay whatever. This shows up this morning. Adam went a bit over the top. Thank you my...

    How Are These Still Available?

    First, I'm in no way a Shill for TP. They are selling 4 packs 4 year old Capstan for less money than you can buy 4 tins of fresh. Aged is $71.28, 4 fresh tins are $71.80. Yes, the 4 pack is a variety pack of the 4 Capstan blends but they're all excellent. Given how often Capstan is praised...

    Sad News, Harris Has Passed

    Harris @cigrmaster passed in his sleep Tuesday Night. As many know, his health has been declining for some time. However, he was doing well when I saw him last about six weeks ago and his passing was sudden and unexpected. Harris leaves behind 4 really fabulous children and countless friends...

    My New Clay

    Just got this clay in from SP. Bowl is .73” x 1.5”, ideal. Loaded it up with Vauen No 14, a tobacco I smoke frequently and am familiar with. First, the pipe. Extremely light, a little bit pretty. Certainly not ugly. Very cheap acrylic stem with a barely functional width. I think the stem is...

    AJL67 Needs Help

    @AJL67 clearly needs some counseling. This was the bonus he sent with a recent trade. Thanks buddy.

    Columbus Pipe Show Tomorrow and Saturday

    Hope a lot of you are coming to Columbus this weekend for the show. I’ll be there with around 75 pounds of tobacco to sell. I catalogued everything to make it easier to find at the show, no way all of it will fit on a table at once. Thought I’d share the list in case any attendees want an...
