    A great collection.

    A good friend sent me some pics of his collection. He keeps every thing in his dedicated room. Thought you all might like to see it. puffy

    Dunhill insanity.

    A while back in a thread about Dunhills I posted a "list" of the Dunhill products I have floating around my smoking room. Quite a few considering I don't smoke Dunhills. Anyway, yesterday I happened to notice one more item, an ashtray. I have 2 square ones but this one is different. I don't...

    Terminology Update Needed.

    It seems that almost every time I'm on the forum I encounter an abbreviation of some kind that I don't understand. I'm guessing I'm not the only one with this problem. It would be nice if the "Terminology" thread could be added to and updated somehow. Any ideas? puffy

    "Ignoring" what's it about?

    I see there is a feature called "ignoring", but I can't find any info as to what it does or how to use it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. puffy

    Photo Albums

    I just searched and read about the photo albums that used to be on this forum. The last info I found was from 2019 and was a little hard to follow if you're not a computer expert. So, I'm wondering, is there any chance of this feature being available in the future? And if the old albums would...

    The Taming of the Sasieni.

    Lately I've been smoking some "Original Formula Balkan Sasieni". First off, they don't say it's the Balkan Sobranie "Original Formula" but the design on the can sure was put there to give the impression it is. Trust me, I remember what Balkan Sobranie was like and this doesn't come close...

    Don't understand it, but I'll take it...

    A few months ago I posted than I had scored 40 cans of unopened premium tobaccos. Well, lightning "does" strike in the same place twice. I just bought 25 cans of Balkan Sasieni blend, all unopened for $125. It came from the same guy as before. I don't understand why someone would buy so much...

    Pipe Cleaners anyone?

    It's been about 20 years since I had to buy pipe cleaners. Yeah, I like to buy in bulk. But like all good things, it comes to an end and I'm running low. I know prices have gone up on everything, but DAMN!, puffy I couldn't believe what they're asking for them on the net. So, I could use...

    The box of blends

    Chatting with a pipe smoking friend on the phone the other day (he lives about 100 miles away) I mentioned I had been looking for anything good in new (new to me that is) English blends. I have been seeking a stout latakia blend that is mellow as oppoded to sharp with that smokey latakia...

    Garage/estate Pipe Finds.

    Title edited for caps, brevity and emphasis. -jpm. Original title: What pipes and smoking items have you found at garage and estate sales? PS If I've gone too far and re-wording is wrong, PM me and I will change. I, for one, would be interested in knowing if any one is having luck finding...

    "Knowledge is Priceless, Ignorance is Free."

    Title edited for caps and typo. ["Knowledge is priceless, ignorance if free."] Let's share some of our personal tips and ideas with other smokers. There's a lot of things that are useful to know that are not covered in all those "how to smoke a pipe videos". I just grabbed a pipe and gave it...

    Sorry to Say but this Ad is Deceptive.

    This ad appeared this afternoon on this forum and also on Pipes and Cigars home page. I just called to order and they insisted on charging me the same price they have had posted for weeks. I got some run-a-round about it already being a discounted price. They would not give me the 20% off. The...

    A Pipe Smoker to Remember...

    Title edited for caps. Please understand Rule 9. -jpm Share your memories about a memorable pipe smoker from your past. I start off with.... Harry (not his real name) was a pipe smoker I met at a pipe shop back in the mid sixties. I was not yet 21 and he was about 30. We ran into each...

    How Would you Value your Pipes?

    I've often wondered how pipe smokers value their pipes. I don't mean how much they're worth in dollars, rather how emotionally attached the owner is to them. I've told my wife that if the house caught on fire I would make sure she was safe, then our two cats, then my pipes. (not necessasarily...

    Emojis on this site.

    I don't really know much about how emojis work. I wonder if everyone here here sees the same thing when they click on the smiley face icon.... by the way, why does that icon NOT show up sometimes, like now? Any way, my point is this. When I open the emoji section I see a few good ones and an...

    Picture Gallery of This and That...

    They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I don't know about you but I believe it's true, as I would much rather see a pic of something than read a long winded explanation. So, this is a thread about nothing. Post pipe related pics of anything you feel would be of interest to the members...

    Have a Smoking Room? What's it Like?

    Title edited. Please see Rule 9. -jpm Over the years I've "decorated" my smoking room, aka man cave, with some things that reflect my love of pipes. I shot these pics with my wife's phone and I'm not very good at it. Here they are complete with the dust and ashes, hope you enjoy them anyway...

    Who got a New Pipe for Christmas?

    Title edited. See Rule 9. -jpm Get a new pipe for Christmas? If so, I (and I'm sure others too) would love to hear what you got and what you think of it. Now, be honest, do you love it, hate it, don't really care, or wondering how you can sell it without the wife knowing. Was the first puff...

    Please, Old Timers Only- Sail Yellow

    Title edited for capitalization and clarity. Back in the '60s I used to smoke Sail yellow as a change of pace blend. It had a rich, nutty and smooth flavor that I loved very much. I want away in the military for several years and couldn't get it and in time I kind of forgot about it. A few...

    Boring !

    I think it's great that so many pipe smokers what to share their knowledge with us. As we all know there are tons of videos on line with guys talking about all aspects of pipe smoking. Bravo! Here's the rub. Almost all of them start (and many finish) with the star of the show sitting in his...
