    Buffing Wheel Suggestions

    The slowest speed on that unit still seems pretty fast. I thought I had read somewhere 500-800 rpm is the target for buffing pipes (but I'm NOT any sort authority on this).

    Just Snagged A New One, Now, Who To Send It To?

    Honestly, that looks pretty clean. Just needs some TLC.

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

    First smoke of the newly-arrived KBV blends. Pipe is a Winslow Crown.

    And they will be such horrid stewards of the family/brand legacy. Lots of grave spinning, I suspect.

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    A small shipment today. Figured I'd find out what all the fuss is about (this is humor. I fully expect to love Ken's blends).

    Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure

    It was certainly a succesful ongoing concern for many years.

    Point taken, but depressedly so.

    I think you accidentally got their candidate tester for "Extremely Pissed Off & Unruly Cornishman".

    Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure

    Bankers on the BoD certainly didn't help. Their myopic thinking never brings out a company's best.

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    I always viewed the small batch releases as a temporary way to bring new blends to market prior to the FDA eventually dropping the deeming hammer. Kind of a genius move IMHO and quite in line with Sykes & Jeremy's business acumen.

    Leonard W Interviewed On YouTube By Big Apple Pipes

    I haven't read any of his responses to date. Is he providing solid answers or towing the STG party line?

    TCS Cowboy Coffee in a MM Moonshine cob to start the smoking day.

    South African Pipe Tobacco Blends

    I have a 27+ year old tin of Rum & Maple in the cellar somewhere. I may have to dig it out.

    Frosty Mint Farewell

    Sounds curiously strong.

    'Cellaring' or hoarding in the First World War

    It's a good thing we all cellar!

    Someone is about to discover the meaning of "spontaneous hammer wound"! 😜

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    Going through my cellar, looking for gaps in my Sutliff coverage. Then I wandered over to Tobaccopipes and put in an order for 1 lb of Mark Twain and the last 4 oz they had available of Estate Blend. If, through divine intervention, Estate gets restocked, I might order some more. They are both...
