    Foundation by Musico on the Way

    I have this little Foundation by Musico Billiard on the way. I had been looking for a shape similar to by beloved Peterson 53 with a little narrower chamber for Virginia's. Ended up pulling the trigger and I'm excited for its arrival. Everything I've read about this line seems very positive. Any...

    Luxury Bullseye Flake Sold Out

    Maybe it's normal and I've just never noticed before, but lbf is sold out in multiple places. Is this normal from time to time or is there some underlying supply chain issue? It's not wiped out everywhere but Sp and Tp are both out of stock. This has always seemed like an evergreen blend, always...

    An Eltang By Any Other Name

    I've recently realized that I have several pipes I really like but only a few I love. This has led me to evaluating my stock and getting rid of every pipe I don't love and then pursue a collection that consists of only those I'm absolutely satisfied with every aspect of. This brings me to the...

    English Has No Flavor

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I received my estate meerschaum today. Cleaned the bowl up with hot water and the stem with bourbon. About an hour later, smoked a bowl of C&D corn cob pipe and a button nose (aromatic) it tastes great. All the pure neutral qualities I'd read...

    Royal Meerschaum 15th Anniversary

    $28 eBay find today. Royal meerschaum 15th anniversary. Not too crazy about the ugly bearded guy, but I really wanted a good meerschaum and this price seemed great when compared to their prices for new pipes that looked similar. Anyone have any experience with Royal Meerschaum or any knowledge...

    Unidentified Kentucky Flake

    I bought this Kentucky Flake from beehive cigars in SLC last year. It's sold as a bulk house blend. I love it. The only other Kentucky flake I've tried is orlik dsk. Didn't care for it. I called the shop today to ask what brand it really was so I could order some. They told me it was supplied by...

    Thoughts On AKB

    I sent in a pipe to sp to trade for store credit. Thinking of using the credit to purchase my first meer. Does anyone have any info on akb vs imp? I don't really want to buy a "good enough" pipe that will leave me wanting something better down the road. I'm also not looking for a high end...

    Portable Long-Term Tobacco Storage

    I have a field jacket that has 6 pockets. 4 of them are very large. I already keep a pipe, lighter, and pipe tool in a pocket full time. I want to be prepared to smoke a pipe, should the opportunity present itself. My issue is this, these opportunities are rare when out and about, but they do...

    Tobacco Past It's Prime

    I have a jar of Kajun Kake from 2008. When I first cracked the tin in 2018 it was incredible. Dark stewed fruits, rich sweetness and covered in plume. All of the amazing fermented goodness you'd expect from a 10yo Kajun Kake. I jarred it up immediately after opening, and it became a special...

    Sherlock Holmes Collection

    During the recent 3 year old Dunhill sale at smoking pipes, I was able to snag a tin of 221b Baker Street. It now has a permanent home among my small Sherlock Holmes collection. Thinking of adding a tin of Peterson Sherlock Holmes as well. Any other Sherlockians have any collectibles to show?

    Infinity Jars

    I have seen a few articles about people creating "Infinity Bottles" out of different spirits.(whiskey, or rum) Taking the last few ounces of a bottle and adding it to a common bottle and creating a unique blend. I know that I, and many other pipe smokers have "infinity jars" where we take the...

    RPCL FB Group

    Just curious if there are any members from the RPCL Facebook group in here. I left mainstream social media last year and the thought just occurred to see how many, if any of the RPCL folks may be here?

    Lakelands!

    My experience with lakelands is limited to GH Bob's Chocolate Flake and Rum Flake along with Sg's Cabbies and Navy Flake. In BCF and RF I can detect what could be described as a "floral" note which I find quite enjoyable and think that it compliments the tobaccos very well. I have never...

    Peterson B7

    I just discovered this awesome shape today and went on the hunt. It seems it's not currently in production and sold out everywhere. I don't know why I like it so much. Maybe because I've never seen it before? It looks like a Rhodesian/Dublin cross. I emailed smokingpipes to see if they had any...

    Cornell and Diehl Super Balkan

    I just wanted to take a moment to talk about my favorite bulk English blend. Cornell and Diehl Super Balkan is an amazing tobacco. I find it incredibly rich and somewhat complex. I can't believe the quality for the price. To give an idea of my pallette, my top 5 tinned English blends are as...

    Parker Campaign Pipe 79

    I picked up this little unsmoked Parker Prince because it looks a lot like the Dunhill version. Don't really have a desire to own a Dunhill for the name but just really like the look so I'm satisfied with this find. I am having a lot of trouble finding any info on this pipe though. Nothing comes...
