    The Button And The Bit

    Ingo Garbe once said that, and I think that's true. I didn't really fully realize just how important it can be until I got a Wayne Teipen pipe with a thin bit combined with an excellently crisp button --- the natural comfort of that last inch greatly enhances an already incredible pipe and...

    The Sandblasting Technique Of Roman Kovalev

    I often overlook the smokingpipes blog, but I'm missing out, I need to read it more often. Just noticed this great interview with the guy behind Doctor's Pipes and was fascinated by his blasting technique, he sometimes does something I guess you could call an aquablast? It's an interesting...

    Player's Airman - Survey Of A Long Gone Tobacco And Etc. - (very image heavy)

    This will be a brief look at an old British baccy made by John Player's & Sons that's been off the market for 45 years. Because it has been out of production for so long, there probably ain't many people around who ever actually smoked it, or even remembers it, and there's scant to none hard...

    Sasieni Billiard PAD - Any Expert Help Dating It ?

    ...well, it ain't dott'd, but it seems like a fine pipe nonetheless, I ain't smoked her yet, just picked it up last week. I like lightly stained pipes and this one called to me because of that, I've found around 3 fills which I reckon kept it from being a Four Dot or even a Two Dot, and the odd...

    Capstan Navy Cut is Wills most famous legacy brand, among the many many blends that Wills produced of the years, Capstan still lives and lingers large in our contemporary pipesmoking scene.

    St. Bruno - The Patron Saint Of Pipesmokers - (image heavy)

    What can I say about St. Bruno? It's one of the most popular tobaccos ever and it has been in production for a very long time. I've loved it ever since Jimbo from North Yorkshire so kindly sent me a pouch - it had a deep meditative effect, unique flavor, intriguing taste, dark tones both sour...

    Robert Sinclair Tobacco Co. Ltd. of Newcastle Upon Tyne

    The Robert Sinclair Tobacco Company never produced one of the famous blends that still live on in legend, so they're relatively obscure, yet they played a fairly major role --- which was their huge success with distribution, especially in Northern England and Scotland, so much so that Imperial...

    Condor Has Put Me In A State Of Ecstatic Rapture

    Condor - there is no substitute. Recently, I've fallen in deep love with Condor, now I cannot live without it. At first I really didn't take to it, it seemed odd, too strongly flavored, with an almost menthol aspect or something. With St. Bruno and Warrior Plug it was love at first puff for me...

    Dark Flakes Are The Yummiest Stuff

    I love a good dark flake. St. Bruno used to always have the advertising tagline "the standard dark flake", and after I first tried it from a pouch kindly sent by Jimbo from Yorkshire, I've been in love with it, but it ain't exactly easily at hand. Stonehaven is my favorite dark flake, and it...

    A Very Short History Of Player's Digger Tobacco - >Image Heavy

    Player's introduced the Digger brand in 1917. It was an all Empire-leaf baccy, stuff grown in Rhodesia, Nyasaland, India or Canada. Empire or Commonwealth tobacco had a lower duty tax, so brands which were made with them sold at a lower cost. Digger was mostly sold in foil packets and there...
