    What Has Happened to Samuel Gawith Blends?

    I am not sure if it is me but has anyone noticed the change in the Sam Gawith current output. The Ennerdale seems to be a pale shadow of itself. The Broken Flake 7 seems to be well, broken. The older batches I have seem to have an abundance of Lakeland sauce whilst the current crop just seems to...

    Having spent 27 years in the US of A and now planning to return to the U.K permanently in the very near future I would like to wish each of my American friends on here a Happy 4th of July and Independence Day from Great Britain. That being said in view of all the horrible problems afflicting us...

    Menthol Cigarettes Banned By FDA. Can Pipe Tobacco Be Next?

    Title shortened. See bolded part in the original: "Menthol Cigarettes Banned By FDA along With Flavored Cigars - Can Pipe Tobacco Be Next?" This was in the NY Post - I wonder if it will effect flavored pipe tobacco? More importantly I wonder how long it will be before some government FDA...

    Just A Thought on New Member Introductions!

    I hope the world will forgive me for being digitally illiterate! I was wondering if we could put all the new member 'Intro' posts onto one section. Perhaps it could be called 'New Member Introductions' or something of that nature. When I look at the forum fully 1/3 of the topics is someone new...

    It is Good Friday so Happy Easter and for those of our members who are Jewish Happy Passover for tonight! Since I am not working today I thought I would take some time out for some routine pipe maintenance. Here is one of my ancient meerschaums getting a bowl scrape, new Philt Pad and the pipe...

    BBB Meerschaum 'Cutty' Hallmark Dating Issue

    Here is something for the Sunday afternoon forum nerds! I have quite a few BBB meerschaum 'cutty' pipes most of which I have owned for years. They all get smoked on a very regular basis and quite a few of them have silver bands or repairs which is pare for the course with anything this old...

    Eri-Dale Pipe Mixture - The Rose Geranium Treat!

    As you may well remember I posted about my unfortunate purchase of a tin of Erinmore Mixture whilst attending the monthly pipe club get together at Edwards Cigar in Tampa. I think I also commented on the fact that I would rather suck the farts out of Sea Gull then smoke this stuff straight ever...

    Three Pipe Problem - With Apologies to Conan Doyle!

    I don't know about you but I hate having to get up and move about looking for a pipe or tobacco when I am working on a project. Accordingly I tend to fill up three pipes in one go so that I don't have to worry myself with any issues like choosing a tobacco, what pipe to smoke, I simply put the...

    This Guy Needs to Take Up Pipe Smoking!

    One of my occasional guilty pleasures is to read 'The Sun' newspaper published in the U.K and owned by Lord Dingo the Australian media dude. Unlike the 'National Inquirer' this actually is a newspaper which carries news as well as the usual scandal mongering tat. The 'Problem' section provides...

    Dutch Ovens Anyone?

    This just appeared in a U.K Newspaper. They already make anti-gas underwear and the company is called 'Shreddies' which is probably the worst name ever for a company after 'Nimrod' or 'Turd Guard'. After the recent thread about 'underwear' I thought it was time to look at bedroom emissions...

    Anyone Know Anything about this Pipe 'My Little Friend'

    Anyone know anything about who made this pipe? It is probably early 20th century. Probably was not owned by Tony Montana from the film Scarface. It is made from meerschaum, the case has no makers marks and as you can see is very small but is a pipe as opposed to a cheroot or cigar holder. Any...

    Limited Edition Pipe Tobacco and Tins

    I have been looking at all these various numbered limited edition 'special' tins of tobacco which I always buy a few of each to try and the rest get recycled for Secret Satan Xmas gifts. With all these crazy deeming regulations I am really surprised someone hasn't thought of bringing out a...

    Cutty Pipe Thread Anyone?

    I have noticed over the last year or so the number of fans posting on here about their meerschaum 'cutty' pipes. Both myself and Dave seem to get an endless stream of questions about the care, maintenance and general queries about allowing one of these pipes into your home. Does anyone want a...
