    Jim's C&D Warped Saint Espresso 2023 Review.

    Went ahead and grabbed two. I dont often smoke aro's but with Summer right around the corner, I do enjoy them when around others that may not be the biggest fans of those who smoke.

    Anniversary Commission Pipes from Mark Tinsky

    Thank you all for the well wishes. She’s definitely a keeper for just putting up with my shenanigans for this long. Also meant to mention the pipes are perfect clenchers too as they’re very light.

    Anniversary Commission Pipes from Mark Tinsky

    A while back, I asked the forum what they would do if they wanted a pipe to celebrate a special occasion. This one for me being our 20th wedding anniversary and my wife wanting to get me something that would be special to mark the occasion and that would stand the test of time. I took the...

    NY Gov Polls on Total Ban on Tobacco Sales

    You know, if any state banned tobacco, I know how I would start padding my retirement fund. Got enough in the closet to probably be considered a tobacco cartel :LOL:

    Tobacco: Last Affordable Luxury.

    I just want to say that I am glad I care more about my pipe collection and tobacco collection than bourbon. Luckily got what I wanted before the boom that raised bourbon prices 5x+ retail. Last bottle of Blantons I bought was $69, now the liquor store thieves are pricing it at $130 minimum and...

    Modern Irish Seconds

    I had one when I first got into pipe smoking that I got from a local b&m near me. I never had any issues with it and it smoked just as good as some of my other, more expensive pipes. As for any visual flaws or fills, I honestly did not know enough back then to really check. All I knew was I...

    Peterson Supreme Sandblast Pipes!

    One thing I can tell you is to check SP on Monday's and Thursday's at 3:30pm est when they usually drop their new allotment of pipes. Usually takes them about 10-15 minutes to update their socials and email you about them. As for their EU site, I do not know when they usually update that side...

    Any Ideas Why Europe Out-Produces U.S. In Factory Pipes?

    I agree with all the above comments so cannot really add to them, but.... I will say I think you get a better custom product for a better price in the US and Canada than you can from the EU. YMMV

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2023?***

    First smoke in the new Peterson Supreme. This still has to be one of my favorite Oriental blends and it still sucks I can’t get more.

    Is Pipe Smoking Fading Into History?

    I honestly think the lack of pipe smokers in public is due to 2 different reasons: Public perception of smokers as a whole Cigar smokers are somehow considered "cooler" than pipe smokers because of how much more mainstream Cigars are. Just my opinion, but one I have seen backed up several...

    1792 Flake by Samuel Gawith

    1792 is the only "strong" pipe tobacco I smoke that everyone seems to like the smell of. I didnt realize there was a recent drop, but I will definitely be resupplying my cellar the next chance I get.
