    Castello Shape 55 Sea Rock KKK

    Hey, I've got the chance to get a NEW Shape 55 as above for a very decent price. I've always wanted one, and a Savinelli Autograph as well. Any comments from those who have smoked or own these? Itching to pull trigger.... :) CW

    Good Deal on Artisan's Blend

    I do have about 5 tins of HH Vintage Syrian, which I'm going to hang on to. Only opened one (before I knew of the scarcity, or I'd have cellared more. Great Stuff. CW

    Castello's Golden Era

    I've been looking for a Shape 55 Sea Rock for a long time, but they don't seem to be producing new ones....Can anyone point me to an Italian website that might have one? Looks like none in the US currently.. Thanks! CW

    Good Deal on Artisan's Blend

    I would have picked some up, but I'm noticing that the latakia in these is Cyprian vs Syrian Latakia, and I don't know how the blend will have changed with that substitution. I do understand that Syrian has gone the way of the dodo, but I wanted to check with others before dropping 5 more tins...

    Favorite "Cheer Up" Tobacco

    For me......hmmmm. I DO love Englishes, so I might think of Arango Balkan Supreme, Artisan's Blend, Northwoods, or Presbyterian Mixture. For a Navy of sorts....Black Frigate, of course. But if I just want to decompress and unwind, and clear my mind? Velvet. YMMV CW

    Churchwarden yes or no

    I have 2 Savinelli Church Wardens and love them. One is a Quandale, and the other is a Billiard with a longer, more bent stem than the Quandale. Just something about the relaxing feeling of that long stem, and the smoke a bit more out of your face. A very relaxing pipe style indeed...at least...

    Balkan Sobranie in and OUT at SPC

    Ohhh....bummer. I got an email from SPC while I was WATCHING MY EMAIL for something else. I immediately went to SPC to order....and they were gone. Literally 4 SECONDS after I got the email. Bummer. I did get 2 tins of Maltese Falcon, but I never saw the Margate or Pembroke. Wow, the demand is...

    Silver VIP At SP

    Must be some sort of threshold of insanity. I started smoking pipes in June 2018. I was awarded Silver Status about 1.5 months ago. This may give you some idea of my level of PipeMentia. BTW, the most expensive pipes I own I bought from SPC (Radice Rind Pure Faux Bamboo and Radice Morta Bent...

    I Fear I Am Doomed
