    The Magic of Perique

    I just brought in my first ever blending perique. I got the McClelland's. I've got some other blending tobaccos I've been experimenting with and wasn't sure how the addition of perique would go. I EXPECTED spicy, robust, tangy, and a necessity to properly proportion the burleys, VA, Izmiir...

    Don't Have a Cork Knocker? No Worries!

    My solution this a.m. came in a flash of brilliance subdued by a paucity of class. I cut one cup out from a heavy cardboard egg carton and put it in the middle of my 6" glass ashtray. I may have to get a patent for this beauty. If I glue it, it will support pipes around the perimeter. Hey, it...

    Bee's Waxed Hemp Wick Pipe Lighting

    I'd read about the various temperature ranges of the typical pipe lighting mechanisms and considered that the cooler the initial flame the cooler the tobacco's initial burn, and fuller flavor as a result. Seems that a hemp wick light is about as cool a flame as it gets. Added benefits are that...

    What You Knew Before You Became a Pipe Smoker

    Approaching 2 years into pipe smoking, I thought about what I knew or thought about pipes and pipe tobacco before my switch from cigs to the pipe. I've been around awhile and my exposure to tobacco began when cigarettes were simply everywhere. I'd seen people smoke a pipe. Even saw my own dad...

    A Dagner/Eltang Collaboration

    I saw mention of this on a Dagner video recently and just now looked for it @ Danish Pipe Shop. I'd say that Jayson is moving with a pretty well established pipe crew these days. This is a handy looking little pocket nose warmer they call the BallDog.

    I Just Had A Pinnochio Moment

    There I was, smoking a Savenelli Freehand full of C&D's Big N Burly. I'd only puffed on it a short while and put it down, luckily, and got up to open some windows for a change when I had the onset of nicotine overload, manifest, not by my being light headed, that's normal, but by what could have...

    Yogi Berra Has Died

    One of the greatest baseball ambassadors ever has died. Number 8 for many World Champion Yankee teams, Yogi Berra, died yesterday. I can remember watching him swing away at pitches any coach would bench most players for attempting to hit. He was a wonderful role model and a terrific...

    My First "Burn Out"

    There I was, puffing away on a Missouri Meerschaum Pony Natural with some Prince Albert on board while I tickled the keys of a laptop and started to taste and smell corn! I kept puffing. I put my hand on the bowl to adjust the pipe's position and felt it awfully warm in one spot so I pulled it...
