    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    GLP Gas Light. Stinks like musty locker room and raw heated tupperwared mushrooms. My kind of smoke. Interesting hole I found on the plug. Was filled with pulverized tobacco dust that fell out without digging. Wonder what caused it. Edge of the plug maybe? Not concerned just curious.

    Corona Old Boy - Are They Worth It?

    Love this feature about Old Boys. That little detent makes this my most used lighter.

    Corona Old Boy - Are They Worth It?

    I really like mine. I ditched my tamper since I light/tamp with my old boy. Just dropped mine onto rough pavement from 7ft on the non tamper side corner. Still works great. Worth the money.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

    Capping the night off with Quiet Nights in my Ashton XX Brindle 221. Squadron Leader tin is my poor man's drying tray/tobacco pouch.

    CORPS 41st anniversary Pipe Smokers' Celebration and Exposition!

    First one for me too. If gunshows taught me anything its to expect anything pipe/tobacco related and bring $$$$

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

    GL Pease Ashbury in my Ashton XX 219 Pebble. Wonderful blend. No fuss just that oriental goodness. In a Lowe's parking lot reading up on how to make my own snus.

    Heads Up On Potential Orders From Europe

    I'm so tired of American """""snus""""". I want my good Swedish stuff again.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

    Pesse Canoe 20 in my beater Peterson Cara 999. I'm liking this blend. The tin had me cringe (no seal) but the flakes were very moist. Crumbled apart in little doughy chunks.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

    GLP Horizons in a Dunhill ES 4109. Loving this blend, pipe is ok at best. Will continue smoking it to submission. Love the crisp exhale and aftertaste of Horizons.

    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    Nope, and I already put a bowl through it. Smoked ok for a first bowl. Nothing crazy. I'm going to chalk this off as a reminder in regards to new Dunnies. Great vendors for sure though.

    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    Bollitopipe from Turin, IT. I can't agree more with your statement. Am not impressed with QC vs $. This pipe was purely a shape/size/weight interest. Will become an estate if it smokes like crap.

    Found This Very Large Piece Of Burley

    Oooo piece of burley. Oooo piece of burley. Oooo piece of burley.

    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    Personally I'd call it an outbreak at this point. If this one doesn't smoke good by its 20th bowl I'm done with new production Dunhills altogether.

    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    New Shell ES 4109 (2023). After bad experiences with my last 2 recently made Dunhills I swore I wont get another, but this one is exactly my type of pipe. White spot has a crack (too difficult for me to film but visible to the eye) going through the center but I don't care. Can't wait to smoke...

    Looking for some recommendations please

    Really enjoyed all the DTT Mi Querida cigars. I like them 52ga or smaller.

    Latest Top Picks from GL Pease

    I'm on a GLP bender this week and can't let go of Meridian. I'm preferring it over popular favorites like Quiet Nights and Horizons which are fantastic blends in itself. If Meridian is good for me, any of you guys have other blend recommendations? I

    Spotted...In The Wild!

    Coincidentally, 2 of 3 pipesmokers I ever saw were Germans.

    Gawith & Hoggarth Acquires A Famous Brick and Mortar As Its Flagship Shop

    Well deserved. A rare win for the pipe world.

    Latest Top Picks from GL Pease

    Currently enjoying Horizons. To me it is like a version of Maltese Falcon I enjoy more. More crisp and toned down on the sweet notes. Really enjoyed Meridian. Looking forward to smoking more of it.
