    1 Blend Vs 2 Pipes Non-Scientific Test

    So the other day I was thoroughly enjoying a bowl of 4 Noggins Three Blind Moose in my Savinelli 106 and was thinking of having a second bowl of something. I decided I enjoyed the Three Blind Moose so much that I would simply have another bowl but this time in another pipe not only to give my...

    New Display Cabinet For My Pipes

    Picked up a new glass display cabinet for $60 at IKEA based on my wife's recommendation. Loading it up with my pipes and fossils. I love that it will help protect my stuff from guests (I would say guest's children but my friends basically behave like children too :lol: ) randomly picking...

    I Love Spiced Rum Aromatic, What Else Should I Try

    So my local B&M has a bulk Spiced Rum Aromatic that love. When I get it packed and burning just right it is wonderful. You can taste the rum, lots of full body smoke, and fairly sweet. I have a sweet tooth a mile wide so it suits me. Does anyone else enjoy a similar thing? Any recommendations...

    Deal On Kiribis

    Cigar manor still has a few Kiribi lighters for a steal right now. I ordered a Kiribi Kabuto matte black and got it shipped to my door $58.97 after a $5 discount for signing up for their free rewards program. Thought I'd pass the info along to fellow members.

    Birth Of A Cellar

    This is how it starts. At least it is for me anyways. Had some free time last Saturday morning and this happened: I am really digging the 4oz jars. A 2oz tin splits nicely into two jars. One jar can sit untouched for a period of time and the other can be opened and closed as necessary. Easy...

    Thoughts On Cleaning (Not Restoring) A Pipe

    As some of you know I recently picked up a Dunhill 5213 in an antique store for only $44. The following are my thoughts as a noob on cleaning up and smoking the pipe. To be perfectly honest, the pipe was in good enough shape that all it really needed was a sanitizing and it could have been...

    Searching For Affordable But Good Meerschaum

    I've been looking at and reading about meerschaums and would like to get one for my pipe collection. I'm hoping to spend about $49-$69 and want something of reasonable quality. It's easy to see that an intricately carved pipe just insn't in that range but that's okay. I can't imagine how long...

    Pipes & Cigars Rocked My Order!

    Just a little shout out to let the world know they did a fantastic job for me yesterday. I lost a catalog (given to me by someone) that had a code for a 1 time 20% discount so I called them and they set me up with a customer number (it was my first order with them) and they gave me the 20%...

    Just Got Some New Cheap Pipe Stands In

    So I just got a couple of new pipe stands from amazon last night. You never really can tell how well a particular stand will hold a particular pipe until you try so I thought I'd post some pics in case anyone else is in the market for a stand. First up is this little wooden folder ($5.99)...

    Help With This Dunhill Please

    So while on vacation today, I stopped in an antique store in middle-of-nowhere-small-town Utah and I came across this: It's a Dunhill chestnut bent apple based on the 5213 stamped on it. Can anyone tell me its year? Also, right after the "Made In England" stamp, there is a very small 25 or...

    End Of The Day

    There are different times when a bowl is good but there's just something about the end of the day. Perhaps it's the relaxation or taking the time to reflect on the events of the day but it's my favorite. I smoke cigars too and really enjoy them but for a quiet last moment of the day nothing...

    Billiard Advice Please

    First, I hope this is the right spot to post this. Second, I'm in the market for a billiard pipe. I'd prefer smooth and straight or a slight bend. I've set my budget at $75 (+/- $25). Looking around I have quite a list of possibilities but I am not familiar with brands and would love it if I...
