    YABO pipe?

    You go and buy a Joe Case, Rick Black, etc. pipe and they call it a "YABO." Pardon me? Well, this is no YABO but a thing of beauty. Something that is a YABO, according to Wikipedia, is usually unrefined, gigantic, coarse, childish, colourful, self-conscious, permanent, loud, superficial, vulgar...

    The law of demand states that there is an inverse relationship between quantity demand and its price, that is, all else being equal, as the price of a product increases, the quantity demanded falls, and as the price decreases, the quantity demanded increases. This table shows the mechanics of...

    How to Fill up Your Pipe like a Pro

    I have tried so many filling methods so far, but there is no one like my own, that is, the "Soler-Sanz" method. If you want to smoke your pipe to a white ash and avoid throwing away your dottle, just follow my instructions. Fill up the first 1/3 of your bowl by dropping tobacco in it without...

    So what is a Balkan Blend?

    A Balkan blend is an English blend that contains Latakia, Oriental/Turkish and Virginia tobaccos. This is to say that not all tobaccos from the Balkan area are Balkan blends, nor the tobacco used in them have to be grown in this part of the world. As a matter of fact, if we are go by the book...

    De Luxe Navy Rolls

    I am smoking this tobacco as we speak to write this post. I usually like most VaPers, but I am not so much into flakes or rolls if you like. I have thoroughly enjoyed this tobacco every time it went in my bowl, but I´d not change it over Elizabethan Mixture, which is one of my staples I usually...

    THE FRANK METHOD

    Have you ever tried the Frank Method when filling your pipe? I have tried it a couple of times myself but I see no difference with my own. The whole point, I guess, is to keep the tobacco loose at the bottom but tight at the top. However, one drawback I see with this method is that it compels...

    TO INHALE OR NOT TO INHALE: THAT IS THE QUESTION

    I usually inhale a few puffs when I smoke, but I know most pipe smokers will try to avoid this. Can I ask you all what your take in this is?

    YOUR BEST PIPE? NOT ALWAYS THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONE

    This is one of my best pipes. I know it does not look very nice (this is a estate pipe I got on EBay), but it smokes like a dream. How much? Just £35, which is roughly the same amount of money I spent the other day on a toy for Luna (my cat). Eye catching though it was, she turned her nose down...

    ROYAL YACHT TOBACCO FORMULA

    Does anybody know what kind of tobacco they blend Dunhill's RY with? I know this is a Virginia based tobacco, but I'd like to know what other tobaccos, if any, will go into this blend or mixture. Also, I'd like to know if this is a cased tobacco and how they produce it.

    So what is your take on rubber tips? Is this the new hype or something that should be done for practical reasons. Tell me what you think.

    Lord of the Ring Churchwardens

    I haven't got any churchwardens in my pipe collection yet, so I have been planing on buying a Lord of the Rings like pipe, but I haven't been able to find anything in his range so far. Some time ago I saw this YouTube video about a pipe maker who specialized in making these, but I don't seem to...

    Photo Picks

    Sorry about the dumb question, but how do you actually upload picks to show in your threads? I haven't been able to do this so far and it is bugging me.

    Burnt Rims and Wanton Violence

    I usually can tell and individual's personality by how he treats his pipes. Sometimes I see people smoking in damaged pipes with burnt rims, partially broken, dirty, scratched, etc. These are individuals who will, for example, empty their pipes hitting the rim against a wall, light their pipes...

    This is what I like

    I don't smoke just one single blend or mixture, but 3 different ones depending on how I feel or what time of the day it is. I usually start the day, after my breakfast, with Dunhill's Elisabethan Mixture, then move onto Royal Yacht and then, to finish the day, I'd smoke a bowl of Nightcap before...
