    Creepy Scarecrow by S Yanik Has Arrived

    He had a different one available some time ago but I didn't really care for it. It was to Wizard of Oz-ish. This one is nice and creepy though and I got a great deal on it. I'm still deciding what to smoke in it first but the chamber is huge so that might influence my decision.

    Question Regarding Teddy Knudsen Marking

    Has anyone ever seen an eagle grade with this mark: This is different than the one I have and the others I have seen. Plus the eagle is on the opposite side (top) of the shank.

    My Second La Biota (Michele Sottocasa) Pipe

    This is the second pipe I now have from this carver. I really like how he uses bamboo in long curves:

    Shout Out To LePipe.IT

    Some pipes I ordered from them just arrived. They were very well packed, shipping was fast, and they threw in a nice olive wood tamper with their logo on it. I'd definitely buy from them again and considering the quality of pipes they carry combined with their pricing I most likely will. They...

    Let Freedom Ring!

    Saw these today: It's the "Let Freedom Ring" 2 pipe set by Missouri Meerschaum. I ordered 3 plus an 8 oz can each of C&D Haunted Bookshop and Black Frigate from Smoking Pipes today. The tobacco is a gift for my brother in law in Mexico. I got him started on a pipe to transition away from...

    Costco Cognac, mmm!

    I decided to take a chance on Costco's house brand Cognac: At $45.99 for XO how bad could it be? Pretty dang decent actually. It's a blend of 12-21 year old Cognacs and produced by Peyrat. As near as I can tell the primary difference between this and the regular label Peyrat is that the...

    Finally! Found The Fly Reel I Wanted (Hopefully)

    I've been looking for a Scierra Traxion 1 LW #2/4 for some time. It seems as if stock has depleted since the start of the covid business and they weren't common in the US before that. Some places have larger sizes in stock but I haven't seen this size for almost a year. I finally found a shop...

    How To Retrohale Without Retrohaling

    If you're like me you have difficulty retrohaling. I can't get the smoke to come out of my nose or I fry my nostrils trying. I've found the following method very helpful: With your pipe going properly, breathe in first, take a small or regular sip/puff/whatever, gently blow the smoke out...

    Dedicating A Blend To A Pipe, Not The Other Way Around

    That's right! People always talk about dedicating a pipe to a particular blend or genre of blend for various reasons but I've found I do the opposite with a few blends that I will only smoke in a particular pipe. I'll still smoke other blends in the pipe but when I find certain things line up...

    VaPer/Or Blend Recommendations?

    It's no secret, I love Dan Tobacco Ascanian No. 2. I'm well stocked but I am starting a search for another blend in the genre that's readily available. What I think makes this blend work for me so well is the VA is aged plus the Perique is nicely plummy. I'm not looking for a replica but just...
