    Opinion of Current/Modern Stanwell Pipes?

    I've been meaning to grab a nice acorn by Stanwell for a good while and I noticed that the brand has changed quite a bit. It looks like a lot of the Sixten designs were still being produced well into 90's or so, but seem pretty rare now with mostly freehands and standard shapes being produced...

    What Pipe Brand Don’t You Own But Want To?

    I was perusing the SmokingPipes estate sale and realized there are only a couple pipe makers left that I don’t already have a pipe by and feel motivated to buy. Namely, Askwith and Ardor. Otherwise, I have at least one pipe by everyone else I like. Who’s making pipes that you want but haven’t...

    Got My First Beckler and Love It

    Was on the hunt for a Bacchus/Dionysus meerschaum and came across this CAO carved/signed by Beckler for a VERY good price. Happily snatched it up! Just cleaned it up and am now enjoying some Opening Night. I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for more as I already have two other CAO...

    Can Anyone Identify This Savinelli Pipe Shape?

    An Interesting Estate Pipe Pickup

    Was looking for a sea creature style pipe (like Northern Briars makes) and came across this unsmoked 70's Seville pipe. Decided to break it in with some Lovecraft inspired tobacco. It actually smokes very well. If anyone is interested, there's one more of these available on the 'Bay for a...

    Any Fans of the Jobey Stromboli Pipes?

    These were my gateway drug into the world of Castello Sea Rock pipes (and Old Antiquary to an extent). Started with the billiard Stromboli, then loved it so much I started seeking them out. The Hawkbill is my latest and rarest. They are fantastic smokers and I love the way they look. If you...

    How Many Esoterica Blends are Rebranded Germain's Blends?

    My local Tinder Box has done a great job of regularly getting the standard (less rare) Esoterica blends, so I've had a lot of experience with Margate, Dunbar, And So To Bed, and a few more. Recently they started getting some of the Germain's tins, so I snatched some up and I've noticed that a...

    Is Bothy Flake Still Available in the US?

    I'm working on the last of a jar of some Bothy that I cellared about ten years ago and just realized that it's been a minute since I've seen tins of this for sale anywhere. Is it seasonal? Or did they just stop exporting this particular blend?
