    ***What Are You Smoking? March 2020***

    Ending my day with some pre-dinner Star of the East Flake in my Castello 2K Canadian. This stuff really scratches my Penzance itch.

    Dunhill History (Late 60s - Early 2000s)

    Man, this page has grown to about twice or three times the size since I last read it. Thanks for the heads up!

    Dunhill History (Late 60s - Early 2000s)

    Hello all, I've noticed in my perusing of Dunhill pipes and their history that there seems to be a fairly significant blackspot when it comes to the legacy of the company after the glory days of the 60s. To my understanding, Dunhill switched factories at the end of the 60s and now the market...

    ***What Are You Smoking? March 2020***

    Life's good when you can enjoy some 2017 CC in a Castello 55. Truly some of the best Red VA I've ever had.

    Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake

    At 7 years old you can say with some certainty that the tobacco underwent anaerobic fermentation inside the sealed tin.

    Show Us Your Penzance Pipe!

    I use my Castello Natural Vergin KK Canadian for 'English Flakes.' I think in this photo there's actually some Penzance in the chamber.

    What's Your White Whale?

    All of this is readily available in Britain and I'm more than willing to ship a couple of ounces of each blend over pro-bono.

    What's Your White Whale?

    This should be seen by the guys newer to the hobby. In this day and age where blends are dropping off the market like flies and where the FDA lurks behind every deeming date, cellar something deep if you like it!

    Advice Needed: Moving Aged 5100 to Jars

    That's a hell of a find. I remember reading something from Greg Pease wherein he said that once you break the seal, the environment inside the container changes irreversibly. If the seal seems to be holding up (and it sounds like it has over the past 11 years), I wouldn't touch it unless you...

    ***What Are You Smoking? February 2020.***

    The IPSD smoke! Some 2017 Dunhill Nightcap in the Castello KK NV Canadian and some Mitcher's Single Barrel 10 year in the whiskey glass. Happy smokes to all! (Edit: and what better way is there to celebrate ISPD than becoming a Junior member of Pipesmag?!)

    ***What Are You Smoking? February 2020.***

    Planning to smoke some Nightcap with a glass of Mitcher's Single Barrel 10yr tonight to celebrate IPSD. I'll post a photo when the time comes!

    International Shopping for Pipes

    Times really vary for International Super Saver packages. I had several packages delivered to me in Hong Kong that took only a week and a half to arrive, but another that was delivered to Singapore more than a month after I ordered it. Just be prepared to wait. Additionally, if you order...

    ***What Are You Smoking? February 2020.***

    I'm at the grandparent's house in Ireland for the week and they have a nice smoking conservatory! Enjoyed a bowl of Germain's 1820 Flake last night in my Castello KK Natural Vergin Canadian.

    If I Knew Then What I Know Now...

    Pipes and Cigars has a real bad reputation for being one of the more disorganised and feckless online retailers. Things will often take days to ship, or not ship at all. If you're really lucky, you'll get your order and then they'll send a free-of-charge duplicate a week later. Their customer...

    If I Knew Then What I Know Now...

    I wish I had cellared more Durbar when I knew both that it was my favourite and that the Dunhill blends were on their way out.

    New (to Me) Il Ceppo Pot from Pipestud

    Hey all, Just thought I'd share my newest PAD-fuelled purchase. I've been in need of a dedicated VA flake pipe for a while and it has taken some time to find the right pipe because I've been highly selective. I specifically wanted a chamber diameter of 19-20mm and a depth of 30-35mm. When I saw...

    A New Castello Vergin

    Brilliant looking Oom Paul. All of my Castellos are Vergin and it is an absolute joy to watch both of them colour. I will say that I never bothered to hold the pipe by the stem while smoking. To me, the dark spots that form underneath where your palm and fingers rest makes the pipe 'yours'...

    A July Night with the Pipe Club of Hong Kong

    Ah, well met! I'm very fond of Malaysia. Just took a couple trips up there this winter to visit Malacca and KL. Your father must have a couple stories! I'd give anything to witness the growth of Singapore from pre-independence up until now. I remember giving them a thorough introduction to...
