Thoughts On Group Size - A Poll
I'm looking at a pipe but can only find it in Group 1. I'm considering it because I really like the way it looks and it could work well for strong blends like GHC Dark Flake Unscented which I usually only load half a bowl of anyhow. I can find the same shape in Groups 2, 3, & 4 but in... -

My Mailbox Box Exploded Today
Simultaneous PAD & TAD! One box from P&C and one from Hasty Pipes. I bought the pipe at the WCPS a few weeks ago but it was unfinished. Nice of Mr Hasty to throw in the tumbler too.- shanez

On The Hunt For Sweet Plus Fig Or Plum
Started by searching tobacco reviews for blend type "VaPer" and then the flavors "fig", "plum", and "sweet". This got all of 2 results and both, while listed currently available, were a bit too obscure to try and track down for the moment. (They are: Middle Earth Tobacco - Gondor and Tabacum...- shanez

Site Singularity
I can't be sure of this but I think Jay is attempting to use the site to create a black hole. Either that or the cannons have given him shell shock. Either way, better smoke up while you can!- shanez

Sutliff Sweet Virginia #707 - An Amateur Review
This is my regular go-to smoke and I have no idea what I'm doing but thought I'd post anyway. Drying is not required but can help with getting/keeping it lit. Slow puffing and/or sipping is very rewarding for this tobacco. Overall there is a dry grass/hay/wood that is very consistent...- shanez

Red Residue While Cleaning Pipes?
I spent some time yesterday cleaning a couple of estate pipes I had received but not used yet. Two of the pipes left a red residue on the (damp) paper towel I was using to wipe out the bowls and came from the rims. Is this a leftover wax/polishing agent or is stain coming off? I did also get...- shanez

Inspired by a Fish
I received today a bucket list pipe. Ever since fishnbanjo posted pics of a pipe he had from carver Jan Szymon Golowacz I've wanted something similar but unique for me. While the pipe I found is definitely different it still has a certain look about it. I chose this beautiful smooth elephant... -
Long Night but Good Morning
Someone, take a guess, didn't let me sleep until midnight last night. She kept crying when I laid her down so I had to hold her and walk around the room to eventually get her to sleep. Not sure what her deal was since it's never happened before. Then there was a repeating around 3:00 AM. And...- shanez

Made A Mistake While Smoking An Aromatic
I enjoyed some of Russ' Sugar Plum last night and made a mistake while smoking and thought I'd tell the tale so others might avoid the mistake. First: How I normally pack my aromatics is to loosen the blend up as much as possible and gravity fill the bowl while tapping the side to settle it in...- shanez

Hunter's Pipes, Anyone Actually Smoke One?
I'm talking about those multi-piece things. I'm looking at one that is Bruyere with a silver cap and an antler stem kinda setup. It's cheap enough I might get it just as a decoration but it would be neat if it was actually meant for smoking as well. Anyone have something like this they... -
