    SG St James Flake w/Crystals!

    Smoked this last night in my new DWF (Doug Finlay) Pipe: A 10x loupe showed very nice crystals. Here's my low quality macro-photography skills: Maybe someday I'll buy a proper macro lens instead of just using a reversing ring.

    It's Not PAD, It's Not TAD, It's ABAD?

    Audio Book Acquisition Disorder has struck again! There was supposed to be one more but I got an out of stock cancellation notice from amazon. Now I gotta get the put on my phone so I can sit on the back patio and listen to them while I smoke.

    Need Thoughts on Repairing Cheroot Stem

    I've got this little Cheroot with a broken stem that I think is glued in. I thought the egg part was meer but it's some sort of marble. Would it be worth paying to have it repaired?

    2019 West Coast Pipe Show Nov 2&3

    I'll be there this year and plan to spend much more time than I was able to last year. I've set aside a small amount and promised myself a nice gift. Really looking forward to this show! Who else is going?

    Should You Give Blends A Second Or Even Third Chance?

    Partly inspired by mso's regular posts, partly inspired Didimauw's "Change My Mind" thread, and partly inspired by a conversation I had with my wife at lunch while we enjoyed a glass of Yellow Spot, I thought I would throw this out there for discussion. I first noticed it while tasting various...

    Kaywoodie XL Dimensions?

    Does anyone know the dimensions of a Kaywoodie 73S XL Canadian? I came across a massive Kaywoodie pipe in a store but I'm not sure if it was the 73S or not. The thing was probably 8" or so in length and I'm wondering if it was the 73S or something else. Thanks in advance.

    SP's Side Panel Ads Are Killing Me

    Every so often I see a pipe I really like in Smoking Pipes side ad panels here on the site but, alas, when I click on the ad the pipe is nowhere to be found on their site. Sometimes it's there but I have to scroll through the pipes to find it. Sometimes it's shown under the already sold...

    How Do You Smoke Plugs?

    Last night I tried my first plug tobacco, GH&C Dark Plug Unscented, and now I am wondering if there is a better way to enjoy it. I simply sliced off a section about as thick as most flakes I see, rubbed it out as best I could, packed my pipe somewhat loosely, and put a light to it. This did...

    Baptism in Puerto Vallarta - A Few Pics

    I could not be happier with the photographer my wife found for our daughter's baptism in Puerto Vallarta last Saturday. A few pics: This one is my new work desktop background: Just had to show off a little.

    Tobacco Containers for Travel and Storage

    I decided to upgrade from ziplock bags for travel with tobacco but also wanted something I could just leave the tobacco in for a short to medium duration and be both lighter and less fragile than glass jars. After some searching I opted for baby food freezer containers. I found a brand called...

    Scotch vs Rum with a Pipe

    Had a glass of Tomatin 18 year old Scotch tonight with some Sutliff Sweet Virginia. It was a good combo but during the second half of the bowl I got myself a glass of Pusser's Navy Rum. I'm noticing lately that rum seems to compliment sweet and aromatic blends better while Scotch is better with...

    What Do You Think of This Skull/Dragon Meer?

    I've have another pipe from this carver and have been looking at this one: I like the overall look and finish and the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger is because I'm not sure of where the dragon's face meets the skull. That being said the carver offered me a hefty discount so now I...

    Who Has Additional Sources For Estate Pipes?

    My PAD has been a little weird lately and I've been looking for something different but not specific if that makes any sense. I bought my first Celius and am looking at another but I also found a Chacom Grand Cru #3 that is a very nice looking pipe. I stumbled across the Chacom on an English...

    Crumble Cake or Double Pressed?

    While looking at John Cotton's double pressed Virginia is was left wondering could all crumble cakes be called "double pressed" or is the pressing to form the cake something else? Or were the tobaccos in other cakes not pressed the first time? Just curious what others thoughts might be.

    Anyone Familiar With James Barber Tobacco Merchant in the UK?

    They don't ship tobacco leaf products to the US but I emailed and asked about a pipe and how much shipping would be if they do sell pipes to the US. I received a prompt response stating they would indeed sell/ship a pipe to the US and I could put the pipe in my cart and have the site calculate...

    Musings on Russ' Bold Rum by a Novice

    As some of you might be aware, I'm a sucker for a rum soaked blend. I finally snagged a few oz of Russ' Bold Rum as it keeps going out of stock. It arrived and the bag(?) note is fantastic. This stuff would make a fantastic potpourri. I left it sit on my living room side board for a few days...

    Woot! My Wife Got Me Some Cigars!

    My wife works at a slightly higher end bar and meets a variety of people. Last night a customer who has came to IPCPR event for the last 4 years stopped by. After talking a bit about our new daughter, me and cigars and I'm sure lots of other stuff the guy asked if he could leave a few cigars...
