    Trying to Get Help with a Russian Blend

    We were having a discussion tonight on an online club meeting, talking about Russian blends. It may be a possibility for us to get some from Chișinău, Republic of Moldavia. I remember a distant conversation I had with someone who recommended a blend called Baba Yaga, and for some reason I simply...

    Calling Out on IMCO Owner for Advice

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I had this IMCO (well, I am not sure whether it's the real deal or some cheap DDR copy) and the fuse went out rather fast. I replaced it with a zippo fuse, and in the process I had to remove the cotton from the gas well. Since it was an old...

    Samuel Gawith - Hansom Flake

    Has anybody had this? What is it? I think it's a new blend ... I saw the pic in another forum, and I captured it with my phone screenshot function. I wasn't able to find a review on tobaccoreviews.com, heck it's not even listed there. So I thought to ask y'all knowledgeable people.

    English Never Grows Old

    It has been 6 months since I have last smoked an English blend. During the summer I hardly smoked English blends anyway ... but this year was completely different. I guess with the pandemic and spending some time at home, I grew some odd sense of consideration for my wife, who always complained...

    The Air In Your Home is Hazardous

    I have bough this air purifier thing from xiomi, since my allergies this year have been worse than before. The funny thing is that whenever I smoke a pipe in my den, further down the hallway, in the living room the the air purifier goes bananas. From 001 air safety, it goes to 300+. It does the...

    Bubinga Wood (?)

    does anybody have a clue what on earth is bubinga wood? My birthday was last week, and we have celbrated in Bulgaria by the Black Sea. We met with a family there, fridns of ours, also romanians and they gifted me this bubingq wood pipe, knowing that I like my pipes. It doesn't look high end nor...

    Inside Meerschaum Mine

    I have received this video, perhaps some of you know it, but for those who do not I thought to share:

    Babylon Berlin - No Pipe References

    Volker Kutscher is a very sought after name when it comes to modern police novels in Europe, and I must admit he did a hell of a job on his Gereon Rath series, but in a novel spanning 6 volumes set in the Weimar era Berlin, I sure expected some pipe references ... I mean really this is the...

    James Joyce, the Dubliners and the Pipe

    I am reading the Dubliners by James Joyce, which I find a very particular type of literary work. I know that for the UK brethren this author may be mandatory reading in school, but non the less I am glad I got to reading him later than never. Most critics describe Joyce as an avangarde key...

    You Gotta Love the Fleamarket

    I got this haul this morning at the flea Market ... the dark twist was opened, oddly enough no coin cut, but rather ribbon cut, with about 10 good bowls left in it. It is rehidrating as we speak. Telling from the tin art it must be 90s or older (?), maybe another member would be able to tell for...

    Interesting Occurrence with Tobacco

    I have to share this with yous guys ... I think I may have over done it with a toscanello cigar without even lighting it. On Sunday it was my mom's birthday, and since she won't allow me to smoke inside the house I kept on chewing on a toscanello, perhaps for a couple or three hours, until there...

    All Quiet on the Western Front Pipe

    I recently stumbled over the 1979 screening of Erick Maria Remarque's novel, all quiet on the western front, and right off the bat I have noticed that the very likable Kat character is smoking a pipe (unlike the 1930 screening, and the book for that matter if my memory serves me right). Nice...

    Asking For Advice - How to Glue This (?)

    It's too bad since I like this pipe a lot. Basically the middle insert in this Peterson is the 9 mm filter plastic that binds the stem to shank. Half of that plastic, the right part was supposed to be glued to the stem (I always thought that it is molded like that) and the left part, that is...

    It's a Work in Progress

    Like the title says, work in progress - used cork lids being in short supply right now, as I have used all the ones I have saved since a couple of years back, and looted my old man's cork lid stash as well. I think I am going to call it "A Testament to Sobriety". It will take me a couple of more...

    Interogative: How to Clean a Pipe Without a Pipe Cleaner

    This question has bothered me for a while. With the whole COVID lock down, I cannot notice my pipe accessory inventory dwindling and no shops open, be that b&m or online. Well, in my acceptable pipe collection I can find good pipes and can, thus, overcome the mental block of smoking filter less...

    What Do You Think About This?

    I found this on the internet ... what do you mean the pipe tobacco that he can inhale? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? The pipe experience is one thing, and the cigarette another.

    The Contest Pipe is In ... Not the Contest Unfortunately

    So today I got a mail call from Bucharest, receiving my slow smoking contest pipe, together with the tamper and a written engagement that I had to sign and promise I will not smoke the pipe until the contest is going to rescheduled on a date that is yet to be determined. The contest was supposed...

    IM Corona Flame Shrinking

    Hey guys, I have this little IM Corona lighter and I have noticed something odd. I bleed it and refill it, and right after that I readjust the flame to my desire. A few days after that the flame shrinks considerably, and no matter how much I turn the flame adjustment screw the flame won't get...

    My Lakeland Haunting Story

    Man, I must admit that I didn't truly know the meaning of the word ghosting until last night. I had some guests over, and after dinner I reached out for a pipe. Since I was in a rush, I grabbed my lakeland dedicated pipe from the rack. In the kitchen i had a Dunhill 221 B Baker Street jar, and I...

    Lunting - Not for all Weather Conditions

    Ever since I smoke a pipe I have noticed a progression in my preference for lunting. While at first I just considered it ridiculous, I evolved to seeing it as a bit uncomfortable, to the point I quite enjoy it. I must say though, there are just some times of the year when lunting is a pain. For...
