    Match Walnut isn’t the same

    Just bought some more Walnut due to the STG takeover and it’s nothing like it was. It’s very dry, there’s little casing on it, it doesn’t have as much walnut taste to it, and it’s lighter in color. The earthy burly flavor is gone. I’m getting really tired of typing the word STG. Here’s a picture:

    Anyone know anything about F&K?

    Does anyone have any information about F&K? Who blends for them? I’ve been on a kick lately and really enjoy Merde de Cheval. Is this a Swiss or French blend? Please tell me they are not affiliated with Sutliff/Mac Baren. I’ve been thinking about grabbing some Stirling Balkan based off the...

    Penzance Available Again in Alabama

    Title edited to add caps and location. New round tin Penzance among the latest drop at my local B&M. There was even a small amount of Stonehaven. I’ll report back on how it is soon.

    Question on smoking SG Navy and Balkan

    So, here recently I got some of the new SG Balkan and Navy Flake. Anybody have any recommendations on how to smoke this stuff? I’ve had it drying for 5 days now and it still isn’t a very good smoke. Tasty yes, but sopping wet. I suppose it’s PG laden, which I wish they wouldn’t do. They did...

    NPD: family era Barling’s circa 1920

    Got an awesome pipe in the mail from member Ahi ka. Has a really wide bowl on it and is a short pipe at 5.2. Don’t let the thin walls fool you, this pipe smokes cool. I’m loving it so far.

    Anyone have Dunhill innertubes?

    One of my Dunhill innertube patent pipes has a really open draw without tube inside. I'm thinking that the tube that's missing will do just the trick. Anyone have experience with Dunhills with/without tube? Also, anyone have one or know where I can find those? This is strictly to tighten up the...

    Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?

    Title edited for caps. Please read rule 9. I love Skiff and other Gawiths. Anyone actually like the vintage shag cut though? I find it a hassle to get correct proportions and the smaller pieces of latakia fall to the bottom of the jar. It's hard to keep consistent and you have to tear the...

    Who can Make Dunhill Dot Stem?

    So, I have a beautiful Dunhill Shell from the 40's, but it needs a new stem. Who can make one, period correct with a dot on it? I know somebody that can make one, but only no dot. If so, can anyone help me with the dot. I know it's just a hole more or less with a plastic stick glued in it.

    Please Recommend a New Balkan

    I'm always looking for something new that I haven't try in hopes to stock up/age. I like stronger Englishes/Balkans ie Nightcap, Quiet Nights, Margate, etc, but without the Latakia being to the point of being overbearing. Abingdon would be what I call overbearing. I'm getting ready to pull the...

    NPD: 1940 Dunhill Shell

    New pipe day. This little 1940 craggy Shell billiard is an amazing smoker. I'm already looking for another Shell, this time a 50's.

    Aging Balkins

    I've been wondering lately how some of my Balkin blends will hold up for the future. I have bought favorites and enough to last 15-20 years for when blends dissappeare or become rediculously expensive. My question is, will these blends still hold up well? Ive had Vintage Syrian at 9 years of age...

    Custom Northern Briars Lovat

    Got a new Northern Briars Lovat. It's a smaller pipe at only 4.8 inches. No suprise, it's another great smoker.

    Anyone notice?(C&D content)

    Anybody else notice a change in C&D's use of Cyrpian latakia to Turkish latakia in certain blends? I just noticed at smokingpipes that the Two Friends blend English Chocolate now features Turkish Latakia(along with a label change). I was wondering if there are anymore blends that changed and now...

    Dunhill 1960? Billiard

    Just got another estate. First time having a Dunhill. I've always wanted a Dunhill billiard and couldn't pass this one up. It's a smaller, group 2 pipe. I have to say, it's one of the best smoking pipes that I own. Sometimes, it doesn't matter how thin a pipes walls are, it's more of a design...

    First Savinelli Pipe

    I just bought my first Savinelli. I have to say I'm quite impressed. With my Smokingpipes discount and it being on sale, I couldn't pass an 85$ deal up. I got the 321 Tre because the 320 I held was too clunky and I don't use filters. I have to admit, I've always been a little put off by...

    New pipe rack (1940's)

    I got a new pipe rack. It's a roll up, which is great because I have it near a window and don't have to worry about the sun on my pipes. It moves smooth as butter, you can tell it will never break. I wish I had another one that held more!

    Where do you Find Peak Enjoyment?

    I smoke mainly medium Englishes. My question is; where do you find the peak enjoyment in a blend? I have heard for some people it's in the beginning where as others it is later. Also, I've heard some say it is different for every blend they smoke. For me, regardless of what blend it is, after...

    First experience G&H Dark Flake Scented

    My new order just got in. Of those tobaccos is Gawith & Hoggarth Dark Flake Scented. This is my first experience smoking this blend and I'm blown away. It is full and smooth. The Lakeland flavorings are so perfectly balanced with the tobaccos that I have no interests in trying the unscented...
