    The Next Logical Step

    So about a year and a half ago I left the world of aromatics and began smoking Virginias and VaPers. Friday I began the next evolution in my pipe smoking by ordering some plugs and rope. I should have an order of Jackknife, Triple Play, Wessex Gold plug, 3Ps, and some Irish Black Twist arriving...

    Getting Into Ropes

    I'm very curious about getting into smoking rope tobaccos. I'd like some suggestions on which of the GH ropes I should be trying first? I am a Virginia or VaPer smoker predominately and not afraid of a little nic hit.

    A Meer Poker Nosewarmer

    Just got this from the local B+M today. It originally had the standard ugly yellow longer stem but this one got a new short stem more to my liking. Hangs perfect in the mouth and the weight is spot on. It has a really deep bowl and about a 3/4" diameter so will be great for flakes I think. Tried...

    Peterson Price Increase

    Was at my local B+M and he told me that if I want to get a Pete to do it soon. I guess they are going up in price by almost 50% on some lines and more then that on others. I asked if the increase was caused by the low dollar and he replied that the mark up is by Peterson themselves. I walked out...

    Lunting and Hunting

    On the weekend I scored myself a 1935 Winchester Model 68, which is a sweet little single shot 22 rifle with some decent aperture sights. I spent most of Saturday cleaning it up as it obviously hadn't been shot in years, took me hours to get all the crap and gunk out of it. Sunday was an...

    My Mixture 79 Experience

    So from day one on here I have heard what a dreadful, blend from hell, Mixture 79 is. Last week I was at the B+M checking on how my new Meer was coming along and I spied a pouch on the shelf and figured that I just had to give this a try. The first bowl was....... Not great. It was bone dry...

    Condor alternative?

    Is there a tobacco similar to Condor that is available on this side of the Atlantic? I enjoyed the pouch of Condor I ordered from the U.K. but not the $45 a pouch it would cost for more. Is there a close alternative?

    Meer Stem Replacement In Canada?

    Anyone know where I can get a couple of Meer pipes re-stemmed in Canada? I looked at Walker but he looks to be booked up until late October and I don't want to wait that long.

    Eureka, Montana.

    Looks like I'll be headed to Eureka, Montana for a week soon and I was wondering if anyone know of someplace I can buy some tobacco while I'm there or should I take some with me?

    Tem Minute Meer

    About 20yrs ago I was looking for a Christmas present for my Grandda at the local B+M and they had these little Meers. No idea if they are block or pressed and at the time I had no idea what to look for in a pipe but I bought him one. It was a tiny thing with a cheap hard plastic stem and a...

    Question About Falcon Bits

    I've recently started smoking Falcon and love them except for their bit. Has anyone ever redone a Falcon's bit out of vulcanite or acrylic?

    The Condor Has Landed!!

    So after a long wait my pouch of Condor finally arrived yesterday along with my two bantam falcon bowls from the lads across the pond at mysmokingshop. Ok...... first impressions...... I opened the pouch to transfer the tobacco to a jar and the first thing that hit me was the smell..... I was...

    Brebbia Silver Mount Twins

    Was at my local B+M this morning and managed to score a couple of very elegant Brebbia Gala Silver Firsts. They are early 70's stock, unsmoked, that turned up in a corner of some warehouse in Toronto. They are smaller pipes, a group 2 slight bend Dublin and a small group 3 full bend Dublin I'd...

    Getting Me Some Condor!!

    So I just got a couple of Falcons on a trade and I wanted a couple of Bantam bowls for them and found Mysmokingshop.com out of the UK. They state clearly that they cannot sell to the USA via credit card but say nothing about Canada so I sent them an email last night asking if they can sell to...

    A Nice Surprise

    Yesterday I was at my B+M and was hankering for something new. I'm looking over the tins and I spy in back a tin of McClelland Top Hat and decide to give it a try. Virginias and Perique..... how could I go wrong? On opening the tin was full of what I could only describe as a course cut ribbon...

    Escudo Experiance?

    So this morning I went into my local B+M and saw that they have started stocking Escudo and for years I been hearing on here how it is just the greatest thing since sliced bread so I bought a tin. As I do with all my tobacco I transferred the tobacco into a sealer jar and kept one flake out to...

    Merr Cutty!

    So I had a couple of firsts last week. My first Flebay pipe purchase and my first new meer. For the nice sum of $25 I got a sweet little cutty, it's about 6" long with the bowl coming in at a tiny 5/8" diameter and 1 1/4" deep. Seems like a nice solid little pipe, the only change I might make is...

    What Exactly Is Condor?

    I tried checking posts here and reading reviews on TobaccoReview but I haven't found a clear answer. Is Condor a lakeland? Aromatic? Virginia? I'm just trying to understand as to what exactly makes it "The Best Stuff Ever" in so many minds?

    Jeantet Bruyere "Relax" Line?

    Anyone have any info on this line? My B+M got some old 60-70's Jeantets that are both part of the "Relax" line. I'll post some pics of the two I got tomorrow. They are both rather small pipes.

    A Modern Baccy Flap?

    For the longest time I have been searching for that perfect way to transport my tobacco. I tried pouches, tins, containers of different sizes but all of them had some issue making them less the ideal. Last week I was in a sporting good store and saw something new and I thought I'd give it a...
