    Any B. Barling experts out there?

    ^^^^ And there we go.

    Triple Negative

    As for dialects, my only experience with the South is an annual golf safari to Myrtle Beach. Having grown up in California and lived in Colorado, South Carolina is pretty much a foreign country to me, even though I'd bet Myrtle Beach isn't "true South." I confess, there have been times I have...

    Triple Negative

    OK, I admit it. I am turning into Grumpy Old Man yelling at kids to "Get off my lawn." Nonetheless, I was raised by grammar Nazis, who drowned everything I wrote in red ink as a kid. Double (or triple) negatives, split infinitives and noun-verb agreement (San Francisco lost their game Sunday...

    Finally .... Changes for PipesMagazine.com in October 2021

    Huzzah to you doing all the technical stuff which makes this site go. I'm consumed enough by which pipe and what tobacco to smoke when on this site. Cheers and thanks.

    Any B. Barling experts out there?

    Thank you Service King. That was my reaction as well. Have we turned on the Batman/Barling signal in the sky?

    Forgotten In A Coat Pocket

    As we transition in the fall from summer to winter here in the central Rockies, I am going back to my jackets and colder-weather clothes. While I don't find pipes -- they always go back to the rack -- I am finding assorted tampers, packs of pipe cleaners and lighters in my pockets which haven't...

    Please Help Identify This Barling's Make

    Within two hours, Sablebrush nails a Barling ID. Awesome. Man after my own heart.

    Stockpiling

    To store or not to store ... the endless debate. I got caught up in the deeming scare -- which still may happen -- back in 2013-14 or so. Any blend made after something like 2009 was going to go away. Didn't happen. Still could happen. Yes, prices are going up (apparently). Just checked the...

    Public Piping; Where Do you Do it?

    I walk my pipes around a lake here at a park at the base of Beaver Creek ski resort (Not far from Vail in Colorado). Having grown up in a city (San Francisco), I find my walks to be Rockwellian as the park seems straight out of the Saturday Evening Post -- kids sledding and skating in the winter...

    Is it Me, or are Zippo Lighters Garbage?

    I live in the central Colorado Rockies. Zippo is about as windproof as one can do for a soft flame, ergo a winner. Zippos are also, in my humble opinion, klutz-proof, which is very important for my lack of general coordination. Great lighter.

    How To Reduce Humidity Level?

    From having done three-week stints in Myrtle Beach, SC, in June, Southeasterners live in a humidor. Wanna dry your tobacco out? Move to the central Rockies.

    A Rumination on the Luxury of Smoking a Meerschaum Pipe

    * First, I love any thread that starts, "A Rumination on ..." Excellent title. * I have an IMP billiard with a smooth finish. I'm a traditional-shapes guy. I also am a klutz and wanted a simple push/pull tenon. * I, like most pipe smokers, bought a meer with visions of smoking it into a...

    Westminster All the Way

    In an era when unobtanium can dominate conversations, there is something wonderful in having spectacular blends readily available.

    To All You Clenchers Out There

    @burleybreath ... Welcome to forums. Everyone has an opinion on the slightest thing involving pipe smoking and more. (Said kindly). Truly, it amazes me. I have been smoking pipes for 30 years and do not give a thought to common topics on these boards like drying tobacco (I do), how I pack my...

    A Rumination on the Superiority of Good Briar

    As for "good briar" and "plain briar," My pipe collection has three generations -- my grandfather, Pop and those I have added. I was raised on the principal that Dunhills and Barling were the best pipes, and they're great. That said, I have some of Grandpa's pipes -- he was born in 1909, so some...

    California Online Ordering

    My only political statement is that I, too, cannot stand the California bashing. (Grew up in San Francisco, live in Colorado now.) Having been back to San Francisco for family several times in the last four months, my theory is that a lot of people just left the city with the pandemic. (Some...

    G.L. Pease Maltese Falcon

    ^^^^ This right here. GLP blends, new or aged, change after opening. To my palate, they can be underwhelming out of the can. But even just opening the can ( cracking it and putting the plastic top on it) it and letting it sit a few days yields what you were likely expecting. GLP blends are...

    Sparkplug

    Looking forward to GLP's "newest" offering. Under the category of "Why in the heck did you buy more tobacco?," naturally, I bought four tins and socked them away. If Sparkplug is anything like Gaslight, I'm psyched. And I much prefer cakes, plugs or flake cut because I like a chunky smoke...
