    Cascadia Pipe Co Plug Tobacco - Weezel & Condor Do a 'Top Gear' on Tobacco!!

    I just received the latest Pipes and Cigar bathroom reading magazine. I happened to be rather fond of the Spillman Drive gang having met most of them in real life whilst involved with Standard Tobacco Company of PA. That being said they very rarely come up with something that catches me on my...

    Happy 4th of July People!

    Well its that time of year again. The day you celebrate Independence from Great Britain and your great journey to American exceptionalism and all that good stuff. I wish one and all a safe and happy celebration. On the other hand I will be sulking over the loss of the colonies and reminding...

    Kaywoodie Flame Grain - How Old is This Thing?

    Any idea how old this pipe is? I am curious as I received it as a gift. Probably will never smoke it but its the thought that counts. It has the most amazing 'stinger' I have ever seen. Thoughts gentlemen?

    A Heart Warming Christmas Story Updated for 2020!

    With all this gloom and doom a friend sent me this rather amusing take on the traditional Christmas Story. After you have read the first paragraph it becomes so easy to see that in the modern world with all the 'me-too' social media that we as a collective society would probably do the...

    Quick Question for Snuff Takers on The Forum

    I have a container of Navy Sweet Scotch Dry Snuff. Do you sniff this stuff or dip it? Any thoughts? I purchased it to add to some fire proof pipe tobacco and I was curious if I had purchased the wrong thing. This is not invite to talk about snuff but my question is framed in a similar vain to...

    Old Cutter Top Tin of Tobacco You Have Enjoyed!

    Over the years I have thrown up the odd 'cutter top' tin I have shared with a forum member who generously shares with the rest of the community. I know Papipe (John) and myself cracked open a 1912 can of cube cut pipe tobacco the summer before last and smoked it with a few glasses of genuine...

    Back in Lutz Florida!

    A little while ago there was talk amongst a few fellow Florida smokers of getting together. I am back in Lutz so if anyone wants to get together for a bowl and even a beer I am open to saying 'Hi'!

    SG Cannon Plug Is No More!

    It seems some 'wing nut' at SG has decided to discontinue manufacturing Cannon Plug. I guess the young ones running the place have decided that we need more flavored twists and less Rose Geranium. I am hoping this is a temporary thing and if anyone knows anything different please chime in...

    War Horse Ready Rub Seems to Be No More!

    Just checking around and it seems P&C no longer carry War Horse Rub Your Own. You can buy the Bar and the Green but it seems the original horse has been taken to the knackers yard. Anyone know when this happened?

    Ludwig Hartmann Meerschaum Pipes

    A forum member posted a really nice Ludwig Hartmann meerschaum pipe set with cigar holder. More importantly the gentlemen also posted two pages of a Ludwig Hartmann catalogue showing off some of the meerschaum pipes he manufactured. I thought it would be interesting to see who else collects...

    A Bit of Meerschaum Color During Lock Down!

    I thought the forum would interested in the progress I have made coloring this meerschaum pipe during our 'Nation Lock Down'. The first picture was taken about ten days ago when I decided to smoke this pipe aggressively since it had been sitting around for years. I reamed the pipe and put in a...

    Home Delivery During The Recent Unpleasantness

    Just a thought. If Hooters did home delivery during this pandemic thing do you think they would be called Knockers?

    CondorLover You Are a Nimrod!

    I suppose if a man lives long enough any number of events can befall him. Some good, some lucky and some on the very strange side. I was non-social distancing from my design engineer person/ 3 D Printer operator Odd Ball when his friend Jason wandered into the garage/shed/laboratory, looked at...

    Baccy Flaps -Any Interest?

    I am thinking of producing a limited run of baccy flaps in either hardened plastic or wood that would be a clone of the original Winup Bacy Flap. Before I look into this how many of you would be interested?

    Whats Your Favorite Plug Tobacco?

    I know we have a few plug tobacco's down here in the colonies. To me they don't seem that firm. To me a plug has to be a dense cube of tobacco composed of layers of leaf pressed and steamed together until the finished product is a shiny dark brown or black cube. So what's your favorite? We all...

    The House of Pipes Bramber in Sussex U.K

    Does anyone remember this place? I visited this museum many times in the company of my Aunt who lived near by in Pulborough. The museum had the most incredible meerschaum pipe collection I have ever seen and a really quite good tobacco shop in the foyer. I came across this article and I post it...

    What Do You Carry in Your Pockets?

    I just emptied out my pocket and found 1/2 Plug of Condor I think, pen knife, pipe tool and several Bic lighters, one of which doesn't seem to be mine. One pair of pinch new glasses, a pipe and about $2 in loose change. What do you normally cart around in your pockets?
