    Savinelli St. Nicholas 2019 Out....Thinking About It...

    Well, I think the 2019 St. Nick pipes don't look too bad at all. Kinda diggin' the red stem and gold accent on the band. Might end up getting one of these this year, but still may wait to see what Peterson does. What do you think?

    Very Sad News

    I missed this thread when it hit. I'm saddened by this news, but I do know the tough brother was fighting for a while. I'm glad he's got some rest from his discomfort. I can't help but smile at all the times we poked him and prodded him over his very extensive collection. There's not a single...

    Welcome To The 3rd Annual Fishnbanjo Day.

    I was not around to know about this when it happened this year. Been so busy with life, I never got back here to check in much. It might be late, but better late than never. Keeping it smokey with a little trafalgar in my radiator with a Morgan Bones bowl.

    Candy Like Sweet Aromatics Recommendations Please

    It may be an odd sensation, but I swear I can be satisfied with a good bowl of something with sweetness to it after supper over a dessert if I don't have any. This is a little late to the party, but Country Squire Old Toby is one of the best aromatics I have found. I bought 4 ounces and smoked...

    Davorin Morta Pipe Stem Refresh

    Yeah, I have yet to do one of those soaks on a stem. I think the eraser does a great job of removing just enough material to get rid of the oxidation. It take a little time to get it all, but pay attention to the eraser. As you remove the oxidation, the eraser will be brown in the areas of use...

    Finally Got My Morta!

    So it would appear! She smokes it like a dream! Well, I would compare it to a meer, as there's no discernible taste that I get from it other than tobacco. I mean, there wasn't even a detectable smell from the bowl when I first pulled it out and now it just smells of the Frigate. I think it...

    Davorin Morta Pipe Stem Refresh

    So, remember I got my morta this week and the stem was already oxidizing? Well, I couldn't stand to part with it after waiting so long to get it, so I just decided to jump into fix it mode. I grabbed a magic eraser and with some hot water, didn't take long to remove the oxidation. Then I used...

    Finally Got My Morta!

    Thanks fellas! So far, it smokes fantastically! She's going to be a great little Black Frigate pipe! Oh, and to answer other questions I missed somehow, no, it's not a sitter. I tried, but it just keeled over. She's also out of the range of clenching. I mean, you can if you need to use both...

    Ever Buy Get A Bic That Acts Like A Flamethrower?

    I think I might cry... But, the money would make me feel better. I almost actually did trying to light my Carolina Gent with it today. Damn gust of wind came and felt the heat on my nose. This one is about a month old using roughly twice a day in the car...

    Ever Buy Get A Bic That Acts Like A Flamethrower?

    So I buy bics to keep in the car and around the office and house just to have something within reach. I still use my Kiribi all the time, but I don't typically pull it out in the car. A month or more ago, when at the corner convenience store, I threw in another Bic lighter with my coffee. This...

    Are There Tobaccos You Consider Acquired Tastes?

    I find that to be true as well, Tom. I've found that my palate does change with the seasons and something that I find great this week, might be bad next. It's not that it's bad, it's just different. When do you throw in the towel on a particular blend? At what point do you have to say that it's...

    Are There Tobaccos You Consider Acquired Tastes?

    Or do you just not smoke anything you find to be not in alignment with your tastes in tobacco? Case in point: I always saw good things about Haunted Bookshop. When I began my journey through a lot of the C&D blends, I threw in a 1 ounce bag of HB just to try it. Too many good reviews to pass up...

    Finally Got My Morta!

    Thanks fellas! Yeah, I like to imagine how it was when this tree was growing too and all the things that have happened while it was fallen and aging to become what this particular piece of wood. The olive wood accent is super nice as well! Yeah, Duane, it came a little oxidized that I'm having...

    Finally Got My Morta!

    I finally got my morta pipe for my collection. I went with a Davorin made pipe. I wanted something that I could dedicate to the Black Frigate. It's a great pipe and smoking it is a pleasure! I'm looking forward to many more years with this pipe.

    Travel Case

    I have one of the Northwest Gentlemen pipe rolls as well and I love mine. I carry my Ardor and a Savinelli in it most times. They go with me everywhere in it.

    One Year Anniversary On The Forums

    Congrats, brother! I hit mine a few weeks ago. Hard to believe a whole year has elapsed since joining, but here we are. It's been fun and look forward to many more posts from you!

    What was your worst tasting tobacco?

    So far, I'd have to say BriarWorks Pete's Beard Blend. It just didn't really work for me. Felt like the individual flavors didn't jive really well together. I have it in a jar and will likely let her sit there for a while and see if it's any different in a year or so.

    Taking A Week Off Seems To Renew The Enjoyment

    I'm currently smoking my first pipe in a week. I was stricken with a cough that just wouldn't seem to go away, so I laid down the pipe for a week, took a lot of medicine for it and yesterday, I was ba k to normal. I'm taking it slow and steady today and decided to grab one of my favorite blends...
