    My First Latakia - Olde English -

    I have always shied away from Latakia because of the strong "smokey/woodsy" smell to it but gave in today when my girlfriend offered to get me some tobacco. So I went to local B&M with two blends in mind after some research: English Oriental This classic blend brings together the finest mellow...

    Stem Types, How Can You Tell?

    How can you tell what kind of stem you have? I know there are many different shapes, sizes, and colors but what I am interested in is what it is made of. Thanks in advance for any help :puffpipe:

    This Poor Pipe Needs Some Love

    As some may know my collection is what was left to me by my dad when he passed and this is one of them. I recently cleaned up the steam and gave it a few alcohol and salt treatments. It has a severely burned rim but can be fixed. Seems like there is some pipe mud on the bottom of the bowl...

    Black Gold Plus

    This has become my all time favorite so far within only a handful of bowls so I had to dedicate an entire post to it. It is simply amazing, I wish I could describe exactly what it is like but I can't put my finger on it. It is labeled as a heavy aromatic and I have never had a cigar, but this is...

    Bulls Eye Flake, More of a Plug

    So my girlfriend comes one from work and what doe she have with her? A bag full of Bulls Eye Flake from my local wannabe B&M!!! "A blend of ripe Virginia tobaccos spiced with pure Louisiana Perique combined with a center of Black Cavendish to smooth out the taste" It is a plug definitely, but...

    Valentines 2013

    This Valentines Day my girlfriend went into the local B&M and came home with some new items for me :D I got a "pipe chair" on the left and a new pipe tool!! Tamp/poker/pipe knife with a wood finish. I am pretty happy, no more using an old piece of an egg carton for a stand, the hackie sack works...

    Pipe Whistles, Why?

    One of my pipes whistles when I hit it, if I sip VERY lightly it's not noticeable but when hitting a little harder a slight whistle is heard. Thanks

    First Storage Attempt

    So I was surprised with a few bags of tobacco a few days ago by the girlfriend and figured I should cellar a bit of each. So I took some small mason style jars, used for jams, cleaned them and then packed it in. Out of curiosity I just looked at the jars, tucked away in a dresser drawer, and the...

    Pipe Reamers, Different Types

    I was looking around for cheaper reamers and found a few that fit my budget ATM but does anyone know how well they work? I know the best reamer would probably be the long adjustable type but those are a bit more than I was hoping to spend. I just need something to do the job.... Thanks!!

    So I have been waiting on my sterling tobacco sample to arrive in the mail and received an email yesterday stating that he is now charging shipping for it.... Ya not too bad if you have the money, not like its an arm and a leg... But I requested it a month ago and I finally receive that saying...

    What Brand Pipe Is This??

    I originally thought that this pipe had no band name on it but upon closer inspection there is but it is almost gone!! Can any one make this out??? To me it looks like a "BE" and then at another angle it looks like a "RE".... possibly a "N" after that. I am surprised i got such a good pic, i...

    Cleaned Up an Old Pipe and It Tasted Horrible!!!!

    I did the salt and alcohol treatment on the bowl and cleaned up the steam with oxy clean and a magic eraser made sure everything came out clean and let it sit for probably 15-20 hours. The reason it tasted different/bad to me could be that the steam is not the usual type I have been using...

    My Jaw Hurts!!!!

    It has been hurting for a few days... Wondering why, it started when I started smoking the pipe but just chalked it up to be a coincidence. What you think?

    Question about finishing a bowl....

    I feel like I am at the end of the bowl, I take my tool and feel down in the bowl and my first pack is always in there still with ash on top. By first pack I mean the first time I load the bowl and pack it down. It seems like this portion is more wet and doesn't keep lit. I dry my tobacco about...
