    Mystery Box

    I kinda hope they don't! (much more fun for us and agony for you)

    Mystery Box

    That is a very easy pipe to 'fall for'

    One or Many?

    I’m not in the veteran camp but I just smoke whatever I’m in the mood for or what I'm doing, its like getting dressed for different situations I have every day ‘work’ tobacco, tobacco I use for special occasions and tobacco I use if I’m going to certain locations/activity (considering the room...

    Infinity Jars

    Its like eating steak and making sure you don't run out of fries before the meat is done. I try to make a tin run out with a bowl but I'm equally happy to dump dregs into another jar or just dilute a tobacco I wasn't enamored with into some Cavendish etc even if i've already mixed it with...

    What do the Symbols "LIKES" Mean to You in Our Threads?

    They're needed because after seeing you've been notified that a thread/discussion you're following has additional comments there's nothing worse than returning to catch up on the chat... only to find nothing more than a bunch of useless 'agree' 'this' or '+1' comments They make any forum less...

    Big Ben Mirage Pipe

    I have a big ben mirage too, mine is a knock off but still smoked well if a little hot. and I managed to add a hair crack in the stem when emptying it Your post reminded me that I wanted to try a gaffa tape repair but hadnt got round to it until now.. Real crude but let's see if its works...

    What Did You Smoke Today? Cigars.

    Envious of both the cigars and maybe slightly more... The golf ?

    Cutting a Balsa Filter

    Yeah I used a match to check size and that leads to a tight draw. Fortunately balsa pipe filters are already triangular so cutting along its length to anything other than another triangle would be very difficult

    Cutting a Balsa Filter

    I have a Parker Jockey that's prone to gurgle on every smoke (with or without the metal stinger type filter) and I don't enjoy messing about with a pipe cleaner during my smoke to dry it up I was thinking about slicing a savinelli 6mm balsa filter along its length and inserting that to see if...

    What Did You Smoke Today? Cigars.

    Really struggling to get any cigars while on lockdown and stocks running low so just had a a Demi-Tasse Davidoff (just two of these left now) I suspect I'll run out before the store re-opens

    Lighter Recommendations?

    I've not had it long but I'm already a fan of the metal Clipper Pipe lighter (the metal tin it comes in isn't really needed but I'm sure I'll find a use for it)... oh and its dirt cheap too

    Anyone Else Not A Fan Of The P-Lip

    Not a fan, (in fact the p-lip coupled with no filter & system pipes I kinda thought I’d never own a Peterson) but….. I was in the store in Dublin a month ago and very chuffed to see how many fishtail stems with 9mm filters they had on the shelves, with loads of variety of styles too Ending up...

    Is There A Baseline?

    @RedZeppelin Good luck to you, trying to understand why you like what you like That's way more brain effort and commitment than I could put into smoking a pipe (& might even detract from the purpose of pipe smoking) Even some of the stuff I don't like when I first try it I end up liking...

    Davidoff Flake Medallions in a Peterson Outdoor

    I've not been disappointed with any Davidoff cigar or pipe tobacco. Top brand for me

    Woohoo!!! Major Upgrade Arrived Today - Camera Lens

    Have you ever noticed that when you show someone a good photograph you've taken a lot of people will say, “you must have a great camera”… ....but that same person would never dream of saying to the cook after a good meal“you must have great pots and pans” or “they must've used an expensive word...

    Who In History Would You Most Like To Share A Bowl With?

    Pipe Smoking and Golfing

    Don’t you guys buggy/cart it round all the time (like me) I smoke both pipe & cigar when playing, cigar will rest in the ’butt bucket’ in the buggy and I know which of my pipes bowls will fit nicely into one of the carts golf ball ‘wells’ without tipping or spilling in the cart so it just gets...

    Tobacco Saves The World.......Maybe??

    There’s no small irony that the parent company is named (BAT) and cig smokers would be beside themselves if it transpires BAT did have a cure and the most effective delivery system to the human body was inhalation using a … you guessed it ;)
