    Miyagi's Mindfulness - Short Review And Availability Questions

    When I started pipe smoking about a month ago, this is one which my local B&M recommended, and I got two ounces of the stuff. As a brand new smoker, I felt this was exquisite, but a little too complex(Maybe needlessly). I have smoked this regularly over a month, and I feel I have some experience...

    Holmes & Watson Finally Arrived Home

    The two friends arrived home today afternoon. While Holmes is still virgin, I have smoked Dr. Watson once. They are very exquisite, and my untrained eyes could not detect any major flaw. They pass the tongue test for single block meerschaum. And I got both the friends for less than $60!

    Pouch Note of Amphora

    I never saw it in any review - but the pouch note of Amphora is like Fennel Seeds to me ... or Absynthe ... which I am sure all of you know smells like fennel seeds. Did anyone else also felt that way?

    EBay Link Here FULL DISCLOSURE : I am the current high bidder, but I don't want it as I won the Holmes & Watson Meerschaum auction as well. Note - If I win, I will buy the Gandalf, but since I am not craving it so much any more, I thought someone else will enjoy it

    I picked up a Mac Baren pipe on ebay at a very reasonable price of $11.50 (+combined shipping). While I am waiting for it to arrive in the mail, I started to research about MacBaren pipes. The only reference I found anywhere in the net was from Pipedia where it is mentioned that MacBaren Pipes...

    Dunhill London Mixture - Perfect as the first smoke on a Weekend morning

    I have had this tobacco since the second day I started a pipe 3 weeks back. Today, I realized that I have a pattern - I almost always smoked this after doing the morning chores on a weekend, and that's when I love this! Smoked slowly, I can taste the slightly salty smokiness of the Latakia (I...

    Interesting take on aromatics!

    I started smoking pipes only 3 weeks ago, so it may sound funny! I started with Lane 1-Q, as most pipe smokers do. I do enjoy aromatics occasionally, and I am still to find my taste profile, but it overwhelmingly points to Perique / Latakia rich English blends (Ashton's Rainy Day, Dunhill's...

    Online tobacconist vs local tobacconist

    I recently decided to switch from smoking cigarettes, to pipes and cigars. So I visited a highly reputed local tobacconist, and he set me up with 8 premium cigars, a selection of tobaccos (about 9.5 ounce)and a meerschaum pipe. He was very knowledgeable, listened what I like, and did mostly good...
