    My Canadian Christmas.

    Two eagle eyed fellow forum members, having noticed I missed out on this years 'secret Santa' decided to surprise me with these. Apologies for the poor photo, but these beauties smoke a lot better than they look in the photo. I've been smoking these more or less non stop, since they arrived...

    Christmas greetings & smokes. From your part of the world.

    Wishing everybody a merry Christmas, from Hereford here in good old England. Smoking the lovely Bengal slices in an even lovelier Canadian Canadian (cheers @davet!) sherry on the side. Lots & lots of marvellous sherry!

    Canadians rock!

    Having missed the deadline for the secret Santa, a very kind gent from Canada enquired after my address, & sent off a parcel containing various tobaccos & an unsmoked lovely Canadian pipe. How nice is that? Always had a soft spot for Canada. Ever since I had an extremely enjoyable & passionate...

    2016! A good year to see the back of?

    With the new year approaching it struck me, I can't remember a year where so many famous people have passed away. From pop stars & actors to comedians, from David Bowie & lemmy to Ronnie Corbett & Victoria wood. They've all gone west. Also we've lost a few decent blends of tobacco as well...

    Maltan 'a grand tobbacco'.

    One of the joys of being a pipesmoker for me, is the unexpected discovery of a tobbacco that surprises & pleases the tastebuds. When you think you've covered most genres/blends & then 'BANG' you try a blend you know you'll want in your rotation forever. Thanks to this forum, I was just...

    An idiots review: GH brown pigtail

    Having always had a preference for the stronger blends, I nonchalantly set about puffing this innocent looking rope. Here is my review: If you are 6'6 hands like shovels,balls the size of water melons & lungs like a blue whale, this could be considered an all day smoke. If you don't have to...

    F&T pipes, opinions?

    After seeing a few members here post photos of theirs, mostly stacks/canted dublins/cutty shapes. I thought I'd ask the question, do they smoke as good as they look?

    Something old/something new.

    With a lot of members on this forum going on about aged tobacco, thought I'd share a photo of some aged tobacco. Along with a new pipe (blakemar cutty) & a fresh pint of ale. All made in England.

    Berlin tobacconists? (Germany)

    Hello everyone, I shall be working in Berlin next week. Never been before, so I thought I'd ask our learned brethren of the forum. Anyone recommend a good tobacconist? Hopefully I'll get the chance to try some of these 'Dan blends', which seem to be so popular with many of you. Thanks in...

    I-Pad photo question.

    Having decided it would be much more fun to post with photos on this forum, I have a question. I only have an I-pad, I have tried to no avail to post photos before. Is it possible? If it is, I would love to find out how. Many thanks in advance of any reply/info.

    Best Canadian?

    After some thought & deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that after purchasing over 80 pipes in the last 2 years, I have a problem with PAD. So, I have decided to buy no more pipes! With the sole exception of the Canadian style, as I only have 4 in that genre. What would you guys...

    Bastards! They've had st. Bruno's dog away!

    Just bought my latest pouch of st. Bruno, the health warning now increased to 'top billing' on the front. Covering about 80% with the st. Bruno name at the very bottom of the pouch. Up until now, the inside of the pouch was adorned with the normal st. Bruno graphics, & the faithful ever present...

    Comoys of London 'Cornish mixture'.

    As an avid fan of comoys pipes when I saw the re-introduction of comoys tobacco here in the u.k. I just had to get some, even just to savour the tin if the baccy wasn't much cop! Well, I don't do tobacco reviews, & I shan't attempt to start off by doing one here, all I will say is as a smoker...

    Pipe du nord, what a shame!

    Having got to know about this well established pipemaker through this forum, & after perusing their site went ahead & bought a delightful pipe from them. An absolute gem of a pipe it was as well, a pencil shanked lightweight canted Dublin or cutty. So well did it smoke that it soon became a...

    Thumbs up for the new 'maigret'.

    Very surprised to see how well Mr. Beans version of maigret turned out. Slow, moody, sombre & very well acted by everyone involved. Perfect evening television. Very much looking forward to the next one. The pipe was never far from maigret's mouth throughout the film, though I failed to see which...

    'Lucky pipes' anyone had/recommend one?

    Hello everyone, whilst looking on the net came across a lovely pipe by lucky pipes. Having never seen or heard of them before, I thought it a good idea to ask on here for anyone's opinion. Cheers, Simon.
