Shape 55 Castello Fiammata 3k
Castello's Shape 55 is one of those shapes that you either love or hate. Wherever you stand on that issue, it is clearly an iconic shape in the pipe world. I personally love the pronounced chin on the pipe - it makes for a wonderful hand feel. And every one I have is a monster flake smoker...- peckinpahhombre

Walt Cannoy Elephant's Foot
Walt must know that I like to watch Game of Thrones in my Mancave and smoke barbaric-looking pipes, because today he posted an Elephant's Foot that I had to grab for that precise purpose. Here is what Walt said about the pipe: This pipe started out as a demonstration on how to read the grain...- peckinpahhombre

Ashford & Cooke
No, it's not a 1970s Motown duet. I turned 45 today and I was given instructions by the CEO a couple of weeks ago to purchase my own birthday presents. So, reeling under the full weight of the responsibility imposed upon me, I picked up a couple of pipes. The first is a JT Cook dublin. This is...- peckinpahhombre

Yesterday I received a secret tip from a confidential informant concerning a secret meeting that was being held last night in the catacombs deep below the pipesmagazine headquarters in downtown Tampa.

White Knight - A Non-Review
Balkan Sobranie Original Smoking Mixture is legendary blend and White Knight is Russ Ouellette's attempt to emulate that esteemed concoction. I have never tried that much-vaunted mixture, and therefore have no idea whether he actually succeeded. I do know that I always like to try a new...- peckinpahhombre

Cellar Complete
I was only hunting for a few blends before I could complete my cellar and, with the recent influx of Esoterica blends and Balkan Sobranie, I managed to fill out those blends, especially with the help of leads given to me by some of the fine brothers on this site.

Christmas Cheer - A Vertical Flight
I am very pleased with my Christmas Cheer cellaring endeavour. I finally managed to find a 2011 tin. As a result, I now have at least one unopened tin from every year from 2000 through 2013. I doubt I will be able to go back any farther than 2000 - just too hard to find the stuff. 1...- peckinpahhombre

Murray's Era Royal Yacht
I actually don't mind the current version of RY. I wasn't a fan of the topping the first time I tried it, but after it sat for awhile I thought it got much better and I was actually enjoying it by the time the tin was done. I have four seal tins of RY from the Murray's era on the way to me...- peckinpahhombre

My First Barling
I purchased my first Barling today from Alan at Reborn Briar The Billiard pipe is dated to 1929 and, I understand, is on the larger end of the spectrum. Alan is a fantastic guy to deal with and does first rate work. Special thanks go to Jesse (sablebrush) for his wise counsel in making my...- peckinpahhombre

Steak Secrets
I love steak and I love barbecuing - but I don't love steaks cooked on the BBQ. Oh, they are ok I suppose, but my favourite way to cook a steak is in a cast iron frying pan on a gas stove, preferably a rib-eye. My wife laughs at me. Even in the summer months when we are lying by the pool, and...- peckinpahhombre
