    The Motherlode

    I spent about 3.5 months working down in Texas and kept buying things online to be sent to the house. The problem was I forgot what all I had bought and couldn’t see it in person to know how much I had. This was a recipe for disaster and here is the result. I still have a few more boxes to...

    Will Sutliff Frosty Mint Ghost?

    I keep reading how strong of a mint flavor this tobacco has and I finally got some delivered down here. My plan was to mix a little into a bowl of C&D Mocha to see how it tastes. I didn’t want to ghost a pipe with it, though, so I thought I’d ask before I pulled the trigger...

    Aging Dunhill Tins?

    I have several of each of these and wanted to practice aging them. I’ve been told Murray’s, but the more I read, the less I know. From what I can tell, the “UK,” the “in association,” and the painted tin point towards mid/late 90’s Murray’s. Can anyone provide a definitive answer?

    I Like SPC Plum Pudding SR

    So what else will I like? I can’t make enough sense of blend compositions and styles and all that stuff, yet, to draw a conclusion, so I figured I’d ask here. Since that’s supposed to be a limited run, I’m assuming it’ll eventually become hard to find. I’ll try to stock up while it’s...

    Attention: Jiminks

    If this has been covered elsewhere, I apologize. I haven’t figured out how to use this forum’s search function effectively enough to locate it. @jiminks - As a guy who appears to have smoked every single blend of tobacco that has ever been created, I have to ask: If you were forced to develop...

    Night Shift

    Every time I post something in the what are you smoking thread, I’m amazed by how many people react to them in the middle of the night. Got me wondering, who all on here works nights?

    SPC Plum Pudding SR vs. SPC Plum Pudding

    Can someone compare the two in words that a new pipe smoker can understand? When I first tried the SR version, I didn’t really find anything special about it. It has since grown on me, and the stoved version is really good. I’d like to go deep on it, but I’m curious about the difference in...

    Question About Carving Pipes

    It's worth pointing out that, for the foreseeable future, I intend to buy pre-drilled blanks with stems. I'm considering a way to start carving some pipes while at work and the idea of a single tool is more reasonable than trying to set up a shop down here, which is neither practical nor...

    Cult Blood Red Moon

    Seems like this is usually kinda difficult to find so I figured I'd let you guys know that Pipes & Cigars has some in stock right now... https://www.pipesandcigars.com/p/cult-blood-red-moon-pipe-tobacco/1478834/

    Tobaccoreviews.com Question

    I have a quick question about www.tobaccoreviews.com. When they list a tobacco, they list the "Contents" and "Flavoring." Are these listed in order of predominance? Is there any method to how the items in each of those fields is listed? I'm building out a spreadsheet and need to know for...

    HH ODF 16oz Flakes

    I’m sorry if this has been discussed or is easy to locate elsewhere - I can’t seem to find the information. How are these packaged? Can they be cellared without modification or will they need to be taken out and jarred?

    How Many Pipes?

    It seems like the answer is, "Just one more..." But, in all seriousness, is there a basic core amount of pipes you'd suggest for a new piper to have in order to have enough in a rotation to enjoy various types of tobaccos? I'm reading a lot about ghosting and folks who devote specific pipes to...

    Picked up a Tinsky

    I’ve been talking to Mark a bit over the last few weeks getting some blocks sent so I can try to carve a few pipes when I make it back home. I got an email the other day from smokingpipes.com and saw some new Tinsky’s on there. I had no idea that the guy I was talking to was the carver who...

    Plum Pudding Special Reserve

    Does this need time in a tin/jar/cellar or should a guy have a go at it as soon as he gets a tin?
