    PS Toasted Burley

    The much lamented PS312 was probably my desert island blend... I was making breakfast for the kids this morning. One wanted peanut butter, another wanted Nutella. I got all confused and spread them both on the same piece of white toast.... Sheeit, not gonna let that go to waste so I tried it...

    Anyone Heard Of ‘Roya’?

    Saw this listed online the other day and it perked my interest. I’ve never heard of Roya before - I thought it might have read ‘royal’ and was a seller error or shank repair, but upon looking at pics it indeed says Roya. First instinct is Loewe. Especially since the hallmarks on one of the...

    Tell Me About This Pipe

    Howdy, Stumbled upon this the other day. Apart from some significant chatter on the stem, everything else is solid. I’m assuming the G.A mark on the shank is for the NZ tobacconist/importer as per the label inside the case. Hallmarks show it’s a Deguingand. I’ve seen some other E.D&S...

    Bulk Tobacco For Chew Or Pipes

    Just thinking about trying my luck at some chew tobacco now that pipe tobacco is no longer able to be imported to NZ. Any recommendations from what’s available at 4noggins or cupojoes? I normally frequent Smokingpipes but am conscious that they only label as pipe tobacco regardless of...

    Best $25 Smokingpipes Order?

    So I have $25 store credit to use as a last ditch effort to get something into the country before the cut off when customs will smoke it for me. Putting it to the forum for your suggestions. Tobacco that gets most likes or posts by the end of the weekend will be my choice. (Please dont be...

    Edgeworth Slices

    Does anyone out there know the exact strand of tobacco used in the late edgeworth slices? Or even modern ready rubbed matches? As far as I can tell it is a ‘mahogany burley’, but this doesn’t help much when looking for seed. The only advice I have been given so far is that maybe it is a TN86 or...

    PAD: The Empire Strikes Back

    With lockdown over and still plenty of time on my hands, I have been looking round locally for a few estates for restoration. Here are pics of the most recent finds, all still awaiting some TLC. If anyone can provide any information I would really appreciate it. The line up: Dulwich Quaint...

    Am I Trippin’ on the Prince???

    Whaaat? I just opened a jar of PA that had been sitting around for a while and was greeted with a delightful whoosh of an airlock. Loaded up a bowl and went for a walk. About halfway through the bowl this gentle soapiness and vanilla took over. When the heck did the prince move to Lakeland’s...

    Any Kiwis Wanting to Trade Leaf?

    Kia ora, Appreciate decent pipe tobacco is rather hard to come by here in Aotearoa (obviously with the exception of the generosity shown by @trubka2). PM me if you are interested in discussing some sample or tin trades so we can all get the chance to try before we buy. No obligations...

    Man Enough for the Robe?

    My wife just purchased me a man robe (dressing gown) after years of me making jokes about it... Holy shit. With the exception of finding pipe smoking and pizza, this has to be a one of my life’s highlights to date...sorry kids, your births now come in at 4th, 5th and 6th. getting up early to...

    4oz at a Time - How Would You Cellar?

    If the only way to build your cellar was by purchasing tobacco weekly in either a 4oz bulk order or as a single tin/pouch for the next year how would you go about it?

    Louis Adler Pipes?

    Does anybody has any first hand experience with early Oppenheimer pipes? I know a guy with a 1906 Louis Adler stamped calabash in need of a stem replacement and we are trying to figure out whether it’s worth it cheers

    Frequency or Quantity: Which is Healthier?

    Kia ora, Just putting a random question out there, just curious to see what some of you think. Obviously the correct answer will be “whatever you enjoy the most”... If you could only smoke 10g of leaf a week, how would you smoke it? would you smoke smaller bowls (or even portions of a bowl)...

    C’mon Baby Light My Fire...

    Got a bit carried away over the last few days and now have an unscheduled and unintended maintenance session ahead of me. in the process, I found two lighters that were hiding in the back of the drawer. I haven’t done any research into them, but thought I would chuck a quick pic up here and...
