    Tried Petersons 3P's For The First Time - First Plug

    I received a tin of this along with others for Christmas and finally got around to trying it out today! Looks like a delicious dense dark chocolate brownie at first glance! Could almost take a bite out of it :D It was still in the plastic wrapper (I had it in a mason jar, don't think it mattered...

    Had the day off and was finally able to clean two pipes given to me by snagstangl a few weeks back!! Then I hear the mailman pull up and one more arrived from heffeweisse that he didn't want any longer so I added that to the lineup to be retorted and cleaned up. Surprisingly they didn't require...

    First Experience With McC Flake

    So I finally packed a pipe with some Dark Star Flake.... Talk about re-lights!! It's probably my packing method, I rubbed it out just slightly and then aligned the pieces and placed it vertically then rubbed a little out finely for kindling. It's hard to get a taste for it when I only get two...

    Yet another rant!

    This is getting so old I know and they did finally die but when another problem arises I must speak up!! Cigars international, what a hack of a company!! I swore them off but figured why let the gift card they sent me go to waste? So I use it and 4days later they email me saying I need to age...

    Internet Retailer

I have recently been getting into flakes so that's all I wanted and all I picked out. It arrived yesterday so excited I'm able to...

    Making Changes

    Hello all, So I kind of started a New Years resolution a bit early this year (going on about 10 days now) and it has not been easy. The actual nature of my struggles I'm not trying to make public but I'm struggling none the less. I just have days that I can not eat, sleep, or even sit still...

    Two New Pipes To My Collection (Pics, Of Course!)

    The other day I assisted my grandma while she was getting stuff ready to move out of her house she has lived in for well over 50 years. Needless to say she has stuff EVERYWHERE especially packed into the garage. These were in a box and she said they were my papa's pipes (her dads) and then gave...

    Cleaning Lined African Meer? Pics

    A recent post of someone's recent acquisition got me thinking of my African meer that sits on the back shelf unused due to its condition. I would love to smoke out f it but do I retort this like a briar? It has a bad ghost I can smell from inches away. The steam needs cleaning and then there is...

    Check Out These Antiques!

    My Grandma surprised me with these. The ash tray was my great grandmas that I remember used to be beside her couch... it has a lot of patina but i am thinking it is copper. The humidor table has no stamps that I can find anywhere. It as you can see needs some TLC and I am the one to give it :D...

    Antique Stores WILL Be the Death Of Me!

    So I spent the time with my mom today and one stop was a huge antique store (where I scored the tins the other week) and found this baby. I have been needing some more space as my cob and hardwood just sat flat on the dresser. I really didn't think that I would fill this one but I proved myself...

    Trouble At Antique Store......Again

    Went to a huge local antique store, spent two hours in it and only made it half way through!! I found a few used beat up cobs and a few no name pipes. Bad thing is that the seller was insane to ask $50 for a $5-$20 pipe that I offered $25 for still and was refused. It was so much fun searching...

    Antique Store Find-Pic

    Me and the girlfriend had a few hours to waste so we went hunting for pipes or ashtrays and I found this. It might of been an ashtray or some kind of dish but when I saw it I immediately had another use for it. To lay my tobacco out to dry I set it on a paper towel, and different paper towels...

    Adding Slight Tobacco Flavoring While Drying

    Hello all, it's been a while since I've been on and in that time I did an experiment. I wanted a bowl of LBF but wanted some kind of topping to it. I layed out about two bowls of an aero that takes a while to dry out and placed a medallion of LBF ontop. Surprisingly I would get the small amount...

    First eBay Acquisition $5

    Like always my girlfriend spoiled me again... had me look on the bay for a estate and found a Curtis Draper Bulldog. The description was alright, 5 1/2" long bowl diameter 1 1/2" but one thing... that is the outside diameter and they neglected to reveal that it is almost 2" tall which makes it a...

    The Relight From Heaven

    I had a pretty rough day yesterday and got about 2 hours of sleep last night and now I am up and will never be heading back to bed. In that case I figured I would set out some of my sample Sutliff No. 5 to dry for a bit while the kettle was getting my water for coffee ready. Once that was ready...

    My Pipe Smokes Very Wet

    A pretty unknown brand (anchient mariner) but smokes fairly well but once the bowl is finished and I blow out the dottle a bunch of moisture is blown all over the interior of the bowl. It does not gurgle though. I read a post a while back of someone with a pipe that when he blew through the stem...
