    My First Brakner

    Picked this up from a guy who's name rhymes with Barty Fulver. It is a Brakner Antique. It has arrived and the fit and finish are marvelous. I plan on hitting it up with some SPC Deception Pass when I get home. I was intrigued when I saw the pipe and more so when I read what I could on him...

    SPC is releasing 3, Yes 3! New Blends in 2015

    Deception Pass is a LOVELY new VA/Per with a touch of Oriental to give it some Zing. The perique gives it some zing too, let me tell ya. Pikes Place is like Plum Pudding but with some burley and other secret ingredients. Spicy! Potlatch is a complex mix and was easily my favorite. =)

    Layton and Il Duca!!

    At the SPC Dinner I was fortunate enough to pick up a Clark Layton Blasted Egg and an Il Duca B2 Morta Billiard. AND I picked up a tin of Penzance as well. So happy!! I was JUST on Clark's website like 3 days ago and was pondering having him do a commission (my first). This is just too awesome!

    Seattle Pipe Club and Our Own Kevin Godbee!

    Ok. So I have only been smoking pipes a little over 2 years. I know I am a little overenthusiasic sometimes, but hey, it beats being overly Eeyore... Anyway the Seattle Pipe club had its annual dinner tonight at Smokey Joe's cigar bar in Fife, Wa. It was a fun and magical event full of great...

    What is the Oldest Tobacco Tried from a Mylar Bag?

    Hello, I queried Mylar bags and didn't see this listed. Lots of discussion of Mylar bags and if they are ok to store it. But that leads me to ask: What is the oldest stored-in-mylar tobacco have you tried? And was it still good? Anyone over 5 years? 10?

    Pipe Changing Event

    So the box pass has brought Escudo into my life. Ah Sweet, Clean, Escudo. I recognized that earlier versions are more highly sought after, but I don't care. I really (REALLY) enjoyed my first bowl of Escudo. One light was all it took and then there was a smooth citrusy Va/per that was very...

    My First Castello!!

    So I have been absorbing the advice to have fewer pipes of uber quality. I hear nothing but great things about Castello. I use rubber nubbies on my pipes so a couple indents on the stem don't bother me. I don't think I stole it, but for a KKKK in good shape I think I got this for a VERY (very...

    Who Are Your Go To Artisans for Panelled Oom Pauls?

    Hello! I see many people list pipes from a plethora of artisans and they are all beautiful pipes. I was wondering, though, who would be your go to artisan if you wanted to commission a Panelled Oom Paul? I have never done a commission and defer to you guys who have done (a) few/some/many...

    Not a Review, Thoughts on Grand Croupier Boneyard

    SO this isn't a review, because Grand Croupier is a 'bits and ends' blend from SP. As such, it is ever changing and I don't want these thoughts to color your decision to buy or not buy this tobacco. From the SP site: With these things, you pay little and get what you get and you don't throw a...

    WHO DOES THIS!? I got a gorgeous estate Charatan and started cleaning. Routine alcohol dipped pipe cleaner came out RED. 30 qtips later... RED. Can one salt/alcohol a pipestem but not the bowl? The bowl is fine. Also, after qtip 25, some of the dye started bleeding through the cursive word...
