Altadis sample received. It was Sutliffe No. 5 Blend
I received my free sample the other day, and it turned out to be a tin of #5 blend. I decided to get an 8 oz. tin after just three pipes. It's a very pleasant smoke--kind of a Balkan Sasieni light.

Ropp Pipes--French web site shows the history of manufacture
If you are a Ropp collector (I'm up to 19), this is the place for you. Even if you don't speak French, it has hundreds of pictures showing the history of the Ropp family operations and tons of factory views. If you will bookmark Google Word Monkey to your tool bar, it's easy to select text and... -
Favorite Pipe Smoking Musician
For me, it's gotta be Albert King, the late bluesman with the left-handed Gibson "Flying V" who influenced many of my 60's favorite bands (like Cream) and was known to play in a cloud of pipe smoke (see below). I still get off on "Crosscut Saw" and "Red House" after all these years.- jcosmoasp

Picked up four unsmoked Ropp pipes off ebay yesterday. Two are smaller, with curved (I hesitate to say "bent")stems, and two are Alpine-style of different sizes. They were listed as "collectibles" but I intend to use them in my eclectic rotation (whatever suites my mood or the time I have)... -

Anyone Ever Smoke a Cigar in a Pipe?
I remember seeing old guys (what I am now) smoking a pipe with a cigar sticking up out of it in rural Wisconsin as a youth. Anyone know of such a practice, and the rationale (if any) for it? Anyone tried it?- jcosmoasp

Cellaring - tobaccos--best practices
Having just re-entered the pipe-smoking realm after a 32-year hiatus, I've been reading much of the web site in search of current wisdom. I've never "cellared" tobacco before and wonder what best practices might be. Any suggestions are most welcome. Bruce- jcosmoasp

Favorite Sherlock Holmes movie for pipe smokers?
I was watching TBS a couple of weekends ago and watched three Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce played the weekend that the new SH movie with Robert Downey opened. In the film "Sherlock Holmes Faces Death", about supposed murders at a home for retired officers, there is...- jcosmoasp
