    Is Pipestud Santa Clause?

    According to internet lore and legend, the man has a giant sack and only comes once per year. Coincidence? I think not. Today the man helped me fulfill a longstanding goal of mine -- namely, to have at least one tin of every release of McClelland Christmas Cheer. I managed to grab a 1992...

    Radice Buttons Breaking - Coincidence?

    Many people view Radice pipes as good smokers and I can't quibble with that. However, the experiences I have had with the brand have left me wondering whether there may be a deficiency in either the acrylic that Radice uses on their stems or in they way their stems are made. In my almost 4 years...

    New Savinelli Blend

    This one looks interesting. I already love the Doblone d'Oro - a vastly underrated blend, in my view. https://youtu.be/uwKwdztf2tI

    Peck's Bamboomania

    Not for everyone, I appreciate, but I am a big fan of bamboo stems and I recently grabbed two new bamboo pipes. The first is a pot by Smio Satou, with his very unusual tsuishu in law and a very gnarly bamboo stem. This is my third Satou pipe, and he is now my favourite Japanese carver. My...

    C&D Price Increases Coming Soon?

    I heard that C&D prices would be increasing effective November 1st. My understanding is that they will be instituting a minimum price at which retailers may sell their blends, much like MacB recently did. My further understanding is that this would extend to other brands that are blended and...

    Storing Tobacco - Vacuum Storage

    Previously I have stored my Motzek Strang in mylar bags: See http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/the-fine-art-of-tobacco-preparation-amp-cellaring Today I received a new shipment of Strang and decided to use my vaccum sealer so seal it. Here's the video. VID_20151025_135157 from...

    A Visit From Three Old Nuns

    This just in from the dependable and verable Pipestud. Should make for some fine smoking over the holidays.

    Dan Tobacco's Salty Dogs

    This new blend is a Va/Per navy flake and looks right up my alley. A link to the blend and an SP review are below. http://www.smokingpipes.com/tobacco/by-maker/dan-tobacco/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=181211 Has anyone tried it yet? I tried to find threads on here discussing this blend but didn't...

    Prepping FVF

    There are many folks who find FVF to be overly wet and a very difficult tobacco to prepare for smoking. However, if you do it right, in my view there is no straight VA flake that is any better than FVF. The flavours I get from smoking this blend are absolutely stellar. So what is my method...

    Kingfisher, Where Art Thou?

    I love this blend. I have one open tin that I have been nursing and have another five put away, but I haven't seen the stuff for sale in ages, and I am worried that my five cellared tins will have to last me until I slip the surly bonds of earth and touch the face of God. Has anyone heard...

    Chris Asteriou Black Bamboo Tomato

    Chris was clearly inspired by the work of Tokutomi with this piece. Beautiful pipe by a carver who is putting out some fantastic pieces.

    Motzek Strang

    I really enjoy Arno's blog and was interested to see this latest post detailing a trip he made to Herbert Motzek's shop in Kiel. As a lover of Strang, I really enjoyed this piece and it was a delight to see the photos of the shop. Thought I would share...

    Chris Asteriou Duo

    I have been doing a lot of business travel lately and haven't had a lot of time for our collective hobby. I haven't checked ebay in weeks and have barely bought any tobacco to speak of. However, when I was alerted to a new SP release featuring some pipes by Chris Asteriou, I just had to move...

    Peck's Korean Oddity

    Ok, have a look at this link and scroll down a bit. Really creepy to see my stash on a Korean website, and even more so when I have absolutely no idea what they are saying, lol...

    Smio Satou Smooth Bent Pot with Tsuishu

    A pipe I grabbed recently that I really like is this bent pot by Smio Satou. The pipe has great grain and also has a very mesmerizing piece of Tsuishu on the shank which I find truly mesmerizing. I understand that Tshuishu is Japanese laquer work and is very time-consuming to produce, but I...

    Peck's Epic Churchwarden

    I have long been an admirer or Smio Satou's pipes and when this one came around I just had to go for it, even though I don't really consider myself a Churchwarden guy, let alone an eleven knuckle bamboo guy, But it was all just too awesome to pass up.

    Seven Day Set - A Unifying Theme?

    I have been chatting with one of my favourite carvers about a seven day set. However, I need some sort of unifying theme that ties them all together, and to that end I want your ideas. The carver had his own thematic suggestions (which I may reveal during the course of this thread), but for...

    Bulldog (Japanese Influenced)

    I don't own this pipe but saw Ray Kurusu post some shots on his blog and I thought it was pretty different. I wasn't surprised by the unusual stemwork given the stem design that Ray did on my commissioned nosewarmer last year (detailed here...
