    Pipe Shapes You're On The Fence About...

    Finally I bought a straight bulldog for my friend and a straight apple for myself. It's just about time. But pokers and typical sitters still stay far from my aesthetics.

    St. James Flake

    Open the tin, rub it whole out, close the tin, wait for a few months. That's how I dealt with SG flakes. As the air seal broken the tobacco would slowly dry and develop with time.

    Esoterica Dorchester

    apricot at the beginning, soon it turns to a deeper and richer smoke after the first 3rd bowl. For the right pipe, the last 3rd bowl taste like a dream. The first few bowls were not as good, so I put it aside and it started to bloom after a few months of waiting. My very best smoking experience...

    A Beginner's Pipes Cost $900

    I am more a traditional guy so I got quite some dunhills but just a few handmade pipes (actually they stay far from the odd shapes). All my dunnies are great smoker but my best smoker is a Boris Starkov. It was made in 2011, the year he just made his name know. Do not judge with narrow minds...

    Russian PAD

    @sergemoat First bowl finished, and my gut point for now is Grechukhin is excellent, but not to perfection IMHO. I still prefer Boris Starkov. I do believe he will be (has become in some people's eyes including me) THE best maker in the world in the following decades.

    Origins of User Names?

    When I was young my father always said he would be very happy if I could do half of what he had done. He used to be a factory worker during the Great Cultural Revolution in China, which was a disaster for his generation. Young people were sent to the farms and prohibited to receive higher...
