    True Grit & Best Brown Flake

    Spending my evening watching True Grit (the remake) and smoking my Barling Canadian with some best Brown Flake. Didn't know that Matt Damon character smoked a meerschaum pipe. Nice way to end the weekend, and a great smoke.

    Morning Hike And A Smoke

    Here is the view for my morning smoke today. Got up a little early and took the little man on a 4km hike along the lakefront. Had some Amphora Red in one of my Trypis freehands. What a glorious morning here in Southern Ontario.

    The View For My Morning Smoke

    Up at my trailer with the kids for a well deserved week off. The kids are doing their own thing and I'm sitting outside smoking my 1940/1950 era Brigham Dublin with a bowl full of SG Best Brown Flake and a coffee. This may be my first "transcendent" smoke so far. The flavours are popping and...

    My Birthday Spoils

    My family rocks and listened to my request for gift cards to my local B&M so I managed to pick up this Stanwell Hans Christian Anderson churchwarden that I've been looking at for several months. I was also able to pick up a Harvey walking stick that I just love the look and feel of...

    Finally A Good/Great Flake Experience

    As many of you may know I've had some serious issues trying to enjoy flake tobaccos to this point. Obviously technique and experienceplayed a large part in my troubles. I think I may have finally conquered the flake! I think another part of it was that I didn't have a go od flake pipe, but I...

    Went For A Lunt At Lunchtime!

    It was a beautiful day, nice breeze, humidity is gone, and I was falling asleep at my desk. So I decided to go for a lunt. Loaded up my GBD Natural full bent apple with Carter Hall and enjoyed a leisurely half hour walk. As you can see I'm trying to grow a beard (emphasis on trying) and it's...

    Another Thanks For The Advice

    A couple of weeks ago I posted on a thread about how I was having trouble with keeping my pipe lit again recently. I listened to the great advice given by several members (Roth, Harris, Kashmir in particular) and have practiced my packing technique more in the last few weeks. It seems to be...

    My Vacation Turned Into A Pipecation!!! (Pic Heavy)

    So I managed to steal away to my trailer in Buckhorn Ontario (just north of Peterborough for those in Ontario) with my kids for 10 days away. My goal was just for some rest and relaxation after a rather trying start to this year. We made a few road trips in the local area and everywhere I went...

    Radcliffe Pipes And Bream Nash Pipes

    I just picked up a bunch of estate pipes and one of the nicest is marked with Radcliffe Honey Cured, another is called a Bream Nash London Made 9109. I'm up north at my trailer so Internet is spotty at best and I can't post pics yet. I've searched pipedia and Google and turned nothing up. Any...

    Lakeshore Smokestacks Pipe Club Meeting - Pictures

    We had a Bulldog night and hands down the winner of the nicest bulldog was Lowell's Dunhill. What a gorgeous pipe with the nicest stem I've ever seen in person. Here's a couple of pictures of the gang. The highlight for me was meeting Carl, he made it to his first club meeting after trying...

    Holy Smokes 1000 Posts....And A Thank You As Well

    I can't believe I've made 1000 posts on this amazing site already! I'm a couple of weeks shy of 6 months since I joined, and I had my first pipe on December 29th of 2012. Since then I've come a long way in my technique (far from perfect) and knowledge of this fine hobby. It's been a pretty...

    Stanwell Featherweight

    Picked this up at my local B&M today and had to pick it up. It's. My first Stanwell, it's as light as a feather and the straight grain is impressive. Sorry for the crappy pics, but all I have is my BlackBerry. I love that I can't even feel it in my mouth, first bowl so far is quite nice.

    Billy Connolly On Smoking.....Funny

    It's short, but during an interview Billy talks about how he loves to smoke his cigars and how stupid it is that you can't smoke indoors any longer. Funniest line "what's next a special lane for drunk drivers?"

    It's Official I'm A Nic Wuss!

    I've come to the conclusion over the past couple of weeks that I'm just not able to handle high nicotine blends. Even some that most likely wouldn't consider to be high in nicotine can give me some troubles. Mostly upset stomach and heartburn so nothing major, but not fun effects none the...

    Found My Lunting Pipe

    The full bent GBD apple my daughter picked out in January has been in a box for a few months as I just couldn't get it to smoke well. Pulled it out tonight and went for a lunt. Filled it with my new favorite baccy Bagpipers Dream. (thanks again Peck) and off I went. The pipe smoked...

    Latest TAD Arrived For The Cellar

    After the big Escudo Scare of 2013, I placed an order for 10 tins and 1.5lbs of PS Luxury Bullseye Flake from 4Noggins. Of course they were delivered quickly, correctly and without issue as the Rich and the team rock! I also got a free sample of Owl's Head from Rich so I'm excited to try that...

My current stable of pipe include mostly $100.00 range pipes from decent factories, Savinelli, Brigham etc. Im looking for something...

    Introducing the Lakeshore Smokestacks

    We had our third meeting of the Durham Region Pipe Club last night and unveiled the new name of the club, the Lakeshore Smokestacks. The name was an amalgamation of ideas from different club members and signifies a little about our community as well. Oshawa is a blue collar town (has the...
