    Ye Olde Signe, Anythinge Similare?

    I just got some of this from a forum exchange and I'm liking it quite a bit. Since its on the verge of extinction, what other tobaccos share some characteristics, ribbony mix of brights and darks, minimal flavorings? Thanks.

    Who's the Stem/Tenon Repair Jedi Around Here?

    My Big Ben eBay pipe came in broken. Shame, it's almost new and looks nice. I got the price refunded and I want to send it off to a repair person. Thanks!

    Big Ben Silhouette Series?

    As you all know, my PAD is completely in remission and I have no need of any more briars. It is only for the sake of science I have acquired this eBay specimen. :roll: LINK I'm not finding much on the Silhouette series. Matte black with acrylic stem is about it for info. Anyone have one...

    SJF DGT OMG

    I grabbed some of saltedplug's 5 year old St. James Flake. Last night, I loaded a small pipe for immediate use and a larger one which sat on the stand overnight. Last nights smoke was good but the DGT pipe today is freakin' awesome! I'm getting some deep plummy fermented sweetness that I've only...

    Deleted Account With 28353 Reviews On TR.Com

    As I wander through the tobacco reviews, I often see multiple entries on every blend from this deleted account. Is/was this anyone we know/knew? This person must have posted a new review for each blend every time they smoked it. Usually in alignment with their previous reviews, although...

    My New Friend, The Ghost.

    I recently took advantage of the Peter Stokkebye sale by deepening the LBF pile and also trying some Twist Flake for the first time. Both went straight to the jars. I was deliberating which pipe to sacrifice to the aro gods, leaning towards a cob. I generally stick to the non aro's but decided...

    What Is This Shape?

    I recently got this Hilson estate pipe. In my research, I've seen it called a bell and also a spool. Any "official" designation? Thanks.

    The JimInks Problem

    I have determined that our dear friend, JimInks, is responsible for both global warming AND all of the good tobacco shortages. He must be stopped! Click HERE to sign the Stop JimInks Coalition's petition. Think of the children...

    Nope. No PAD Here. Hilson Avanti.

    Just after talking smack about my PAD going dormant, I threw a lowball bid on this Hilson. The one Hilson I do have, from foggymountain, has been such a joy to smoke, I decided to keep an eye out for others. LINK I didn't really find any info on the Avanti line. If anyone knows more about it...

    Show Us Your Bent And Squashed Briars!

    My PAD is almost dormant. BUT I'm still looking for a pipe of a particular profile. I want a bent and squashed Rhodesian or Bulldog, maybe a Tomato. I want that low, not quite flat, "swoopy" profile with a large diameter and very flat bowl. Bullscap is another name I've seen applied. So, show me...

    Overheated Pipes

    I recently read an estate pipe description that stated there were signs of overheating in the bowl. The seller did not post any pictures of it and I'd like the forum tutorial. Please share your sordid tales of thermally abused pipes and, if available, share some pics. Thanks.

    Blends That Vary Per Usage

    Some time ago, I accidentally bought some Peterson Irish Whiskey, meaning to get Irish Flake. I decided to dig in and have found it quite enjoyable, about one out of every three smokes. The other two smokes aren't bad, just unremarkable. But that 1 in 3, it's excellent. Lots of complex tobacco...

    First Impression: Coniston Cut Plug

    It's my Saturday and half of my chores are done. Sifting through the pile of things not yet smoked, my eyes landed on the Hyde Park tin. Long devoid of its original contents, it now stores other various stinky things from England. This was a sample from Theolonusmonkfish. :worship: I tried a...

    Calling The Bard: My Barling PAD Acquisition.

    My sickness has been, for the most part, under control. But, I was on eBay, minding my own business, when.... It attacked me. I ran. It pursued. I added it to my watch list as a delay tactic. That bought me a day or so. I justified my avoidance by mentally attacking the seller. Others have...

    Just glancing over the thread topics on the front page and they began writing a twisted little story in my mind. I imagine a random visitor reviewing the front page and getting a similar first impression. I made a short poem from them. I got plans for the night Gonna get a backpacker blowjob...

    Cumberland Pipes

    Please educate me on the word Cumberland, as it pertains to pipes. I've seen the word used to describe stems and pipes in general. What is it? Pros & cons? Facts & opinions? Thanks.

    Happy Fishnbanjo Day!

    Yes, it's that time of year again. Get out your favorite cap, stand in front of your favorite tree and show us how you keep it smoky, fishnbanjo style. Let's outdo ourselves from last year. Keepin' it smoky with some GLP Westminster in the Baraccini beater pipe.

    Fabled "Sublime Smoke To Grey Ash On One Light" Alert

    Maybe my 2nd one in my 1.08 years of piping. Came in from work. Payed homage to JimInks with some "water & 'bergs". Removed boots and donned smoking slacker attire. Fired up a load of Potlatch in The Thing. Put on some vintage Judas Priest. Lost track of time and space. Noticed a "lemony"...
