    DS Djuragin Pipe

    If you follow a pipe makers on Instagram, you have probably seen this maker. This beautiful. pipe arrived today. The accent on the stem is incredibly layered, and it has an ebonite mouthpiece. I can’t wait to fire it up.

    Tom Eltang Celebrates 50 Years of Pipe Making

    There was a big party in Denmark yesterday to honor a man who is arguably the world‘s greatest living pipe maker. I own several of his handmade pipes as well as his $125 basic series, and have never been disappointed.

    Global Pipe-Making Exposition 2024: Bamboo

    If you haven’t watched the new YouTube video posted today by SmokingPipes on the Global Pipe-Making Exposition 2024: Bamboo, you should give it a view. Some 36 artisan pipe makers produced some incredible bamboo pipes. I noticed that two of Adam Davidson’s offerings were among the first to...

    Giulliano Spitaletti Pipes

    I saw a video on Youtube about Giulliano Spitaletti, a pipe maker in Great Britain. He was born in Braziil. Trained with J Mouton. Holds a degree in architecture. I found his website and bought the half churchwarden shown below. Anyone familiar with this maker or own one of his pipes? Thx.

    Lighters: Brebbia 'Bowl Flame' Pipe Lighter

    Anyone tried one of these? These are new on TobaccoPipe.com. I favor my old boy lighters, but this looks interesting so long as the wide flame does not burn the rims. The built-in tools are nice, so long as it’s not too bulky in the pocket. Any thought?

    Il Cerchio: Sandblasted Cutty with Bamboo

    Picked up this Il Cerchio at the Smoking Pipes table in Columbus. I am slowly transitioning back to ebonite stems. Got that vintage large tin of Rattray’s at the show, too.

    Random Pipe Shop, Como IT

    Shopping with my wife in Center Como today and happened upon this little tobacco store. They had a few nice have Savinelli’s. On the very bottom shelf I saw an unsmoked 2011 sitter, their pipe the year. It was in a beautiful presentation box. I offered 60% of the tag and the shop owner...

    Savinelli Shop In Milan

    Frankly, the shop was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. There were some nice Savinelli lighters, and I picked up an old boy and a few of their new Pearl-stemmed pipes which were only 105 euros. The time here is 6 hours ahead of US ET. By the way, I’m glad I had my US bank covert some...

    Al Pascia, Since 1906, Milan, Italy

    A great pipe shop in a 450 year old building, and in the same location for 118 years! What a selection; drawers full of pipes from Radice to Ser Jacopo. I had a great visit today with Leonardo and picked up a few artisan pipes, two with bamboo. They also have Brebbia plastic sleeves to try out...

    Turkish Latakia v. Cyprian Latakia

    The latest batch of GLP’s Horizons has really made me appreciate the taste and quality of Turkish Latakia. It’s also found in another one of my favorites, Cornell & Diel’s “From Beyond.“ To my palate, it’s far superior to the Cyprian Latakia found in blends like GLPs Spark Plug or Quiet Nights...

    Arlington Pipe & Cigar (Chicago)

    I saw their table earlier this year at the Chicago Pipe Show and wanted to stop by on the the way back to O’Hare this afternoon. It’s about 10 miles from the airport. Large (30-40 large leather chairs or so) smoking lounge and great tin tobacco selection. I did pick up a couple of Savinelli...

    Barling Stepped Up Its Presentation Gane

    I am in Chicago. I stopped at the iconic Iwan Ries. A Barling pipe in the showcase caught my eye & when I got home & opened it, could not believe the boxing materials. Who does it better?.

    GL Pease “Horizons”

    This is an incredibly savory and tasty flake tobacco. ”Comprising a mixture of matured Red Virginias, Flue-cured Virginias, Turkish Latakia, and Oriental leaf, all pressed and sliced into flakes, Horizons boasts a sophisticated flavor profile that admirably balances rich smokiness with a gentle...

    Bamboo Pipes Seem To Be All the Rage

    Not too long ago, my perception of bamboo was that it was used to fix a defect a maker found in a briar stem. Now it seems to be all the rage by top artisan pipe makers on instagram. It’s a bit tricky to master. Here are 6 handmade bamboo pipes. Please post any in your collection. Clockwise...

    Visit To Tinder Box In Dublin, OH

    The Tinder Box in Dublin, OH has a very large assortment of top quality pipes, beautifully displayed in nice cases. The pipe tobacco offered is excellent, too. I bought the Ardor shown and then made my way to their large smoking lounge. This is a must stop for pipe smokers while near Columbus.

    Visit To Smokers Haven/ RawKrafted in Columbus OH

    On a whim while in Columbus I called Smokers Haven (even though it is no longer a brick and mortar) and asked if I could drop by. Longtime pipemaker and owner, Premmel Cheddah, graciously invited me over and gave me a tour of his workshop, then brought out dozens of artisan pipes he had for...

    Pressing Some Haunted Bookshop

    Maybe it’s the burley, but I just can’t board the vaunted Haunted Bookshop bandwagon. After staring at several tins for some time, I finally got out the old spaghetti press and made a few 2oz, five-day pressed cakes to try and make it more interesting. We shall see…
