    Mac Barren HH vs Standard

    All about the bite , so I'm wondering seen here and there that Mac Barren uses some chemicals that bite. I have noticed that with dark twist and 3 nuns there is some bite but not with HH ODF and BDF I grabbed a tin of Rustica which I havent yet cracked. I know these are in the burley family...

    Question for the Various Samuel Gawith Flakes

    I have received 3 flakes the Full VA , 1792, and Chocolate. So grateful for Jimlnks reviews as I always know at the end he’ll warn us of the ghost factor. So upon reading I smoked the 1792 out of and old estate that I’d recently given the salt treatment. The chocolate out of a clay and the...

    Blooming Tobacco

    A few months back I went to Tobacco World in Spokane WA. I saw the tins and the house blends nothing struck my fancy and as the baby was crying and the wife was looking haggard I quickly bought a pub clay and a cheap Italian Poker both turned out to be great smokers. Today I went in solo and...

    Wondering if it’s OK to inquire to other forum members about buying/selling/trading tobaccos not sold in your country. Like would it be okay for me to post something like : Attention Forum members from Belgium/ France In search of Gauloises Brunes say 3 packs? Buy/ Trade something hard for...

    Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake , Matches?, Comparisons?

    While looking around for the oldest pipe tobacco still in production I came across this. I have really enjoyed many G&H blends and ai have some S&G squadron Leader and Navy flake on the way. But the 1792 so far has eluded me, some pipers on here have assured me that there will be drop in the...

    Read This Preface Over a Bowl

    I found this in the most peculiar way. I was searching for an old Marlon Brando interview on YouTube, the one where he mockingly says something like “ Have you tried acting?”to others in the group ( method actors). I randomly watched a Johnny Depp interview where they discuss his meeting Brando...

    Logos Matter

    Coming from a design standpoint I have always held that less is more. A good logo if using one at all should be simple, original, and especially if on a pipe small and go practically unnoticed. Have you ever saw the profile of a pipe, loved the finish, checked all the specks and were ready to...

    This Community Rocks

    I received this in the mail yesterday. I remember analog phones, analog cameras, and analog cassettes. But analog mail is still going strong. Very grateful and will pay it forward.

    What is Your Go To "All Day Smoke"?

    Title edited for caps and brevity So far in my journey into this thing we call pipe smoking I think of “all day smokes” and “go to’s“ constantly. We have a 6 week family road trip coming up so I need to condense my hobby to a few “ go to’s“ For me it’s a matter of taste for time of day...

    Query on Samuel Gawith/Gawith Hoggarth

    Mac Barren HH Old Dark Fired in a Cob…pure bliss

    Got home last night after rolling my ankle doing a board slide on a down rail at the local park. I limped up to the porch and my wife knowing the routine brought me the cold gel pack from the freezer and some gorilla duct tape. After securing the gel pack I had my oldest boy grab my kit ( a...

    English Blends with Little to No Latakia ?

    So I’m the kind of guy who when getting street tacos I prefer no cilantro. I’m wondering if there is a connection to cilantro and Latakia in the sense that I have heard both of them referred to by those of us with sensitive palates as tasting “soapy”. I know C&Ds Pirate Kake has been referred to...

    New Pipe Ghosted with 1Q.

    Title shortened and recast. The former title: "So I got a nice bent billiard and have smoked 1Q in it only to realize I don’t dig Aromatics much" At least the ones I’ve tried. Been smoking 5 bros burley in a cob, and a few English/Scottish blends in a Warden. Wondering if there are stronger...
