    Wooden Pipe Shaped Tool

    I'm curious how many others have and use the pictured wooden pipe shaped pipe tool. I got a 3 pack and they are everything I need for a pipe tool, while being reasonably priced and comfortable to hold. Some don't have the wood and are just metal. While there are some great looking tampers, I...

    Favorite Steak Marinade

    Summertime is here and it's time to break out the grill for those that keep it in hibernation. A local grocery just had some great meat sales ($2.99 ground beef, $5.99 porterhouse, $6.99 ribeye - sorry to those near Macomb County for not sharing earlier). I made some meatloaf (just for...

    Camping and Tubing Suggestions

    I am possibly going camping for a batchelor party in August, which will include my fat ass tubing down a river. I figure I'd take a bunch of cobs to share and for the tubing (since my luck would result in some drowning pipes). What would the best way be to take tobacco down the river? I'm...

    How to Open the Draw

    I like an open draw on a pipe. Missouri Meerschaum consistently has the best open draw I've experienced. I have a few briars with a decent draw (Sav, Weber), but nothing close to a MM. First, what other pipe brands have open draws? Second, how can I open the draw on a pipe (as I have about 2...

    Mother's Day Meals

    I worked half my life in a kitchen. It got me through college and grad school while allowing me to pay off my student loans in under 10 years as a "moon light" cook on the weekends. While I escaped the kitchen, others weren't so lucky and cooking is a young man's game. Mother's Day is a holiday...

    Favorite and Everyday Coffee

    Inspired by the favorite coffee mug thread (sorry, no link skills), what is your favorite coffee blend? How about your every day blend? My everyday blend tends to be whatever is on sale, but Chock Full of Nuts is a legit no frills blend. My favorite? Undecided. But Stok has an espresso shot in...

    Oldest Cob in Use

    I think of cobs as work pipes or "throw away" pipes that can take some abuse and get discarded, broken, or lost without much issue due to cost (albeit I only own two and never have tossed one). For example, I take a cob on picnics or to the beach. That way I can enjoy a pipe and not worry about...

    Oxidation Issue

    I bought this Weber bulldog used. The stem was black when purchased and is now turning olive green after about 10 bowls. It's a great smoker and just needs some TLC to clean what I believe is oxidation from the stem. Thoughts on returning the stem back to its original glory (and preventative...

    C&D's the Old Ones Series

    I'm intrigued by Cornell & Diehl's the Old Ones series. It's a collection of at least six different blends that are inspired by the writings of HP Lovecraft. As a lover of tobacco, reading (when life permits), and Lovecraftian writings (most movies were meh and could have been better ... I'm...

    Fresh Virginia Blends

    I began cellaring wide with 2 ounce "samples" of a variety of tobacco blends in order to determine what blends and genres I prefer. Now I'm cellaring deep with those blends I really like. While it may take a while to taste my way through the "wide" acquisitions and even more time for some...

    Holder for Pipe Cleaners

    Pipe cleaners are a necessary tool to help keep the pipe clean. While not universal, most pipe smokers use them (and I've seen a fee threads debating the merits of cleaning the cleaners ... sigh). I don't seem to have an efficient way to store pipe cleaners for easy access. Rather, they are...

    Ebay Purchase with Tobacco Included

    I recently purchased a pipe rack with a tobacco jar on Ebay. The jar is not sealed, but has a lid that rests on top. My thought was rack some pipes and put a daily/regular blend in the jar for easy access. To my surprise, the jar came full of tobacco. I can't place the smell, but it's probably...

    Pipe Smoking or Making Documentary on YouTube

    Any recommendations for a pipe smoking or making documentary that is available on YouTube? I haven't really dived deep, but my first blush search kept bringing up pipe smoking channels (which I'm not necessarily opposed to). One movie that I'm suprised isn't referenced here (if at all...

    Bulk Versus Tins Versus Pouches

    There is likely a calculus as to why some companies sell tobacco in bulk, tins, pouches, or a combination thereof, but I don't know it. I think each has its place in the current market. After all, Captain Black is one of the top selling brands and it comes in pouches, while Sutliff offers some...

    Tobacco Pairings with Pipe Shapes

    No different than outside the pipe smoking world (and the online pipe forums within that world), everyone has a different perspective, style, thought process, life history, and quirks. Regarding pipes and tobacco pairings, some people dedicate a pipe to a tobacco genre (possibly including a...

    Tin/Label Art

    I used to be a music fanatic. Everything from Metallica to Miles Davis, so long as it hit the heart, mind, or booty. Album art was amazing and captivated me. I loved looking at the cover art and flipping through the inserts, soaking up the pictures, lyrics, and messages. Most of my collection...

    Meet Eric Stokkebye November 4th

    For our Tennessee members, I heard Eric Stokkebye is supposedly appearing at a meet and greet from 3-7pm on November 4th at the Rivergate Mall in Madison, TN (about 20 minutes north of Nashville). Can anyone confirm for members that may want to go? Note, I'm not from Tennessee and this is more...
