    Baki Meerschaums Distributor

    For whatever reason the forum is saying pictures from my phone are too big to upload but I received the pipe and it smokes wonderfully.

    Early Eyup Sabri Pipes

    It depends. If you want quick cash or you don't already have an eBay account smoking pipes or pipestud will price, buy, and then sell your pipes at a markup. If you do have an eBay account with good feedback for 200+ dollar items I'd list them there. The main problem you are going to hit is...

    Pipes New Or Used?

    It depends what I’m getting the pipe for to be honest. All of my Virginia pipes are new. Most of my perique and Latakia pipes are used. If I where to get a pipe to smoke Lakeland or aromatic in I’d go with used. Oriental new. its simply way to easy to find a perfectly restored pipe with no...

    Baki Meerschaums Distributor

    sorry for the double post but I figured out how Ali Express works in terms of shipments. First you have to click my orders off the top title bar Then you will see your orders all listed. You have to hit the "Track Order" button, Scroll down and in the "Order Information" section it will...

    Top Shelf VA Flakes?

    I don't think we can, which is why my position is that people ought to ignore the type of blend and just smoke a bunch of them until they find what they like :) I love GL Pease Chelsea morning but I'd be hard pressed to tell you what kind of blend it is other than "one that goes with my coffee :)

    Top Shelf VA Flakes?

    The guidlines for just about everything are ridiculously loose. A "Balkan" blend means multiple different things. In discussion of Virginia flake people constantly add things like capistan (a navy flake as its pressed and flavored with sweetner) and orlick golden sliced (which most likely has...

    Top Shelf VA Flakes?

    On one hand I have to agree with you from personal experience. I have a few pounds of this blend and that which used to be mainstays in the rotation and now are added much more sparingly. One the other hand though my favorite blend when I first started was Ravens Wing and my favorite blend...

    Baki Meerschaums Distributor

    Those are @paulfg pipes and he received him so I am most likely just being overly concerned. He's the only guy I could find a review of an actual purchase for so it's just a super new distributor. People in other threads have confirmed by talking to people in the know this is the only way to...

    How to Store Pipe Tobacco

    No worries man I totally get it. I was not pleased at finding out I needed a bunch of canning jars all over my house :)

    How to Store Pipe Tobacco

    You would have far better luck selling tobacco in a jar than tobacco in an opened tin. I dunno the buy/sell/trade forum here and whats acceptable but typically the rule of thumb in places I've been is if its open its done unless its a long time pipe club member. Also, you are not going to know...

    How to Store Pipe Tobacco

    Go to Walmart, tracktor supply co, etc and just get a 12 pack of ball mason jars. I promise if you stick with smoking a pipe you will use all of them. If you want tobacco on the go then get a tobacco pouch. If you use a ziplock sooner or later someones gonna think your doin drugs. I dunno why.

    Baki Meerschaums Distributor

    Thank you for sharing! I've also decided to take the risk in pursuit of my own Baki. I decided, perhaps foolishly so, to just pay direct with a card. Navigating the site is certainly different. My advice is to click the lot then hit buy now. It will ask you to select the "color" which is in...

    How Do You Reconcile With Pipe Smoking's Health Risks?

    I personally think the idea was to get everyone to switch to a safer form of smoking but then later studies (which are documented as recently as 08 from a simple Google search) showed getting Americans to switch to safer alternatives had a significantly lower success rate than getting Americans...

    How Do You Reconcile With Pipe Smoking's Health Risks?

    I started my tobacco usage when I was just about 18 with dip and swisher sweets. I didn't start cigarettes' until I was 19. I switched primarily to a pipe freshman year in college to do better on PT runs. In college I decided to really look into the effects of tobacco usage when that 2004...

    Picture Request; Your Meer After Reaming Out the Bowl

    I was assured by my Chinese merchant that meerschaum stops anything bad for your health tho :col:

    What's Your First Pipe Purchase of the New Year?

    Finally decided to get my first meerschaum, China seller on ali express isn't the most desirable medium (never used before) but from what I've read its a legit seller and the only way to currently get Baki pipes.

    Picture Request; Your Meer After Reaming Out the Bowl

    I'll be honest when I first read that you fill it with extra dry and then puff it I imagined you with a makeup applicator, foundation, and gin surrounded by cats :) I only have a Beagle so she will have to do.

    Picture Request; Your Meer After Reaming Out the Bowl

    Thank you for the picture! when you cleaned them out with baby wipes did you do it right after smoking or wait until the pipe cooled?
