    How About a Kaywoodie Gourd Calabash?

    Stopped by my local B&M today. Jim, the proprietor, showed me an estate pipe he had recently acquired, a Kaywoodie large bowl gourd calabash. It was in beautiful shape - couldn't have been smoked more than 3 or 4 times. Jim says it's the first one he's ever seen, and that Kaywoodie only made...

    Victoria Soto, hero

    There's always a lot of talk about how first responders and military folks are heroes. Meaning no disrespect to them, I would like to offer a small tribute to a woman who was not in a profession that required her to go into danger, but died saving others. Victoria Soto, a 27 year old first...

    McCranie's

    I want to put a little post here to sing the praises of these guys. I have been buying from them for about 8 years now, and have always had great service.

    Granger Review

    I purchased 2 ounces of this from the nice folks at 4 Noggins. I have now smoked it all, and thought I would share my impressions. All of this was smoked in a MM Diplomat or Country Gent.

    Advice from MacBaren on smoking flakes

    Zanthal's Flake thread led me to go over to the MacBaren web site and link to their advice on flakes. They are of the "take some, fold it up, stick it in your pipe" school. It's a nice site to poke around on. :puffy:

    English vs Balkan vs Oriental blends

    I recently purchased a small amount of all the Altadis bulks available at PipesandCigars.com that I had not previously smoked. While smoking away, the age-old question of what's a "Balkan" as opposed to an "English" mixture went through my mind. My definitions would be as follows- I'd be...
