    I Just Received My Order from PC!

    I can't believe it got here already, in just 48 hours to NY by UPS. Here is my new Vauen Classic and AKB Meerschaum, both in 9mm plus other goodies. The Meerschaum 9mm has the same draw as the Vauen with Vauens 9mm filter. Pretty good! The White Elephant filters work in all my my pipes, good...

    I'm Starting a Blog About Antique Pipes.

    Wow, 100 years or more. I wouldn't think there are many still out there.

    Wow, don't tell me you have a Lynx as your pet! I'm afraid of even the domesticated Bengal breed. LOL

    Meerschaum Pipe, Can I or Can't I use Everclear Inside the Bowl and Shank?

    Thanks, that was a very helpful thread. My Meerschaum pipe is block.

    Meerschaum Pipe, Can I or Can't I use Everclear Inside the Bowl and Shank?

    Hey, My first Meerschaum pipe is arriving Friday. I have read different opinions regarding using alchohol inside of the bowl and shank. I know you should not use any liquid on the outside of either. Would it be alright to put a few drops on a paper towel and on a pipe cleaner to clean the...

    Aromatics are Not for the Pipe-Smoker

    I am divorced and love and only smoke aromatics, although I am picky on which ones. I enjoy the smell myself and I wouldnt smoke it if I didn't. If others enjoy it, that is a plus. When I was married, I only smoked on the patio. This was fine by me as I never like to smoke anywhere...

    AKB 9mm Meerschaum Push/Pull from SP?

    This will be my second Vauen in less than two weeks. I love using 9mm charcoal filters, better than 6mm version. I wanted to keep the price close to $100 for the classic. I haven't even smoked my lovat white dot yet. I had PAD, but hoping these two will be the cure. 😆

    Very nice grain! I thought it was a Radice until I looked closer.

    Tongue Bite Progress Update

    Yep, I haven't been able to eat spicy foods my entire life. I can even pick out a tiny bit of black pepper in a dish.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    Yep, I drink bai coconut water. It pairs really well with my aromatics. I had watermellon today. Good, but not as good.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    First smoke in my new Rattray Emblem 157, slightly canted, with one of my favorites, Lane RLP-6. Great first smoke. Pipe smoked like a champ. Vauen 9mm filter used. Bai watermelon flavored water.

    Connections Between Pipe Tobacco and Elevated PSA

    Proper diet, exercise and yearly physicals makes a huge difference with overall health. This isn't mentioned enough.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    My first smoke of July. Doc Cob with a Vauen 6mm filter, my mix tobacco (2/3 Lane Buttered Rum and 1/3 BCA). I didn't enjoy it and I'll never do that again. H2O was my drink.

    Just Mixed Lane Buttered Rum with BCA

    Well, I had my first smoke today with this blend. I wasn't crazy about it. I slightly prefered the mix over the BCA alone, but the Buttered Rum tasted better alone. This mix is no where as good as LL RLP-6 , HG-2000 or Sutliff Vanilla Custard.

    Sandblast vs Smooth - and the questionable art of partial blasting...

    I need to carry my pipes across the street to a park to smoke. Sandblast or rustic will show much less wear and tear. I do think a high quality grain on a smooth pipe does look the best.

    AKB 9mm Meerschaum Push/Pull from SP?

    Hi, SP has a sale going on now. I decided to take a look at their 9mm Meerschaums. Yes, I know that Meerschaums in general act like an absorbant, but I want to have more filtration. They have either this AKB or some expensive Barling meerschaums. I am most concerned with the quality of the...

    Just Mixed Lane Buttered Rum with BCA

    Ha, that's what i like! I use a filter, so that might reduce some of the sweetness. Sutliffs Molto Dolce is one of the few tobaccos that is too sweet even for me.
