    Finally Popped That Tin Of ABF

    As a burley smoker it was inevitable that I would eventually get around to trying some Solani burley. The tin had 3 years age on it, does make it double aged? I was blown away by the creaminess of the smoke. It would have to be one of the most unctuous blends I have encountered. The stand...

    When Life Gets Rocky...

    Grab a Donegal. Much aroha and respect to our resident beef-cheek @BROBS Blown away by his generosity, when this birthyear turned up in the the mail this morning. Stuffed her full of Peterson University Flake while I’m procrastinating on the studies, but that still counts right? Any other...

    From NZ With Love...

    About to light a bowl and enjoy a day sheltering from the rain in the studio. Thinking of you all and your families as middle earth goes back into self isolating. Gotta share the pipe love yo.

    Anyone Getting Macbaren Burley London Blend?

    This blend has always intrigued me. As a burley forward smoker I’m sure I’ll love it, but nevertheless it will always be the one who got away. Any of you burley boys (or ladies) stocking up on a few tins this release?

    W.W.C.D?

    What would @chasingembers do? And how the heck does he do it? I decided with it being my daughter’s first day at kura (school), and with a lot of gardening work to catch up on, I’d load the biggest bowl I had and get to it... Sure, it’s not like those huge pipes we see (photoshopped?) pics...

    So I Tried Tambolaka...

    ...and I’m still alive! ? My peepee didn’t fall off, and my teeth didn’t fall out. I did however get a post removed from another forum for being inappropriate content...so maybe this is the root cause for the vile and strange comments from @condorlover1 ?? The sample I tried came from a roll...

    Battle Of The IDEA Pipes

    @mikethompson i am coming for you. Shoryuken! My test pipe arrived in the mail yesterday. It was the first parcel I have ever received from PRC and I knew what it was instantly judging from the colour of the tape used to seal the box. The whole customer service experience was cordial, with...

    Vauen Gandalf Pipe

    Recently stumbled upon a boxed vauen Gandalf pipe locally. Despite being from NZ, I have zero interest in the Lord of the Rings, but i thought it might be something of interest to someone. What do these go for these days? I’d be tempted to get it for my brother as he is a fan of the books and...

    US Forces WW2 Tobacco?

    A friend just found this at a second hand store and asked me if I knew anything about it or it’s worth. Any ideas? It appears to still be sealed in the original packaging. Chur

    Loewe Haymarket Query

    So I’m going to clean up an L&Co Birmingham for a friend and am a bit puzzled. Im aware that they produced seconds (or for american market) during the Haymarket era under the Haymarket make with 2 digit numbers. This pipe is battered, but I can’t see any apparent fills or blemishes that may...
