    Mac Baren's HH Balkan Blend and Cyprian Vs. Syrian

    So I just saw a release in my email that Mac Baren has just issued the Balkan Blend in their HH line. This will reportedly replace their Vintage Syrian because of the "casualty of Syrian Latakia". What will be the major difference between Cyprian versus Syrian in an English blend moving forward...

    My Packing Experiment

    When I first started smoking a pipe way back in 2001, I picked up a cheap cob and a pouch of CB Gold and a cheap pipe nail. I can't really remember how I did it back then. Doesn't really matter, cause the time is now, not then. The other day I was at the office, wanted to pack up a bowl and have...

    Milkshake Machine Is Down

    You know, nothing quite chaps my ass as badly as getting my hopes up for a milkshake from some chain only to find out upon my order request that "the milkshake machine is down". I know it happens occasionally, but I swear my local Burger King has their milkshake machine down more so than up. I...

    Issues With Flakes and Coins

    So I've been having some issues with my flakes and coins. On both accounts, no matter how I fold, how much, or how little, my coins keeps opening up a little and sticking to the sides of my bowl. When I light up, I make sure that I have a nice, even burn on the top, but it keeps burning better...

    Talbert Pipes The Ligne Bretagne October Pumpkins

    So......I've really got to stop pinterest from sending me suggested pins on pipes. It's making me crazy with the things it keeps making me want, even though I always keep saying just one more....just...one...more...ugh. I was checking my email and there was a suggestion on pipes and I always...

    It Can Be Hard To Explain Our Hobby

    I was perusing the websites the other night while lying in bed, trying to come up with a holiday mixture that I'd like to try. I have a small collection of tobacco already. Stuff I've been sent to try and samples, stuff I've bought on word of mouth or just single baggies filled with about an...

    Davis & Son Tobacconists in Wilmington, NC

    If you ever happen to pass through or take a trip down to Wilmington, NC, you have to stop in to see Davis & Son Tobacconists. They have a ton of great pipes and are the real deal when it comes to blending tobacco. The wife and I took a trip down to Wilmington this weekend to eat a nice dinner...

    Office Tobacco Drying Off the Table Now It Seems...

    This will be just a rant. Sometimes, I hate working in an office. A few months ago, I brought into my boss's office to talk about upcoming work and then at the end, he through in that some people around me had been complaining that my phone calls were too loud and that I should probably just...

    What's In Your Tobacco Rotation?

    Just been a bit curious of late with developing some sort of idea of what I want in a rotation or what I might want to just have on hand. I have a couple that I will surely keep buying, Black Frigate, Boswell's Majestic 586, and probably the periodic PA and CH just for basics, but I'm looking...

    Peterson XL02 Versus 03

    I have been wanting to purchase a Peterson for a while now and I wanted to get any of y'all that own ones take on the Peterson Dublin Edition XL02 and 03. I'm not sure which size I want to go with, but they're both the same price over at SP's and it would be a nice introduction into the Peterson...

    How Do You Setup For A Pipe Club Meeting?

    I am planning to attend my local pipe club meeting tomorrow night and was just wondering how many of you organize, carry, or prepare for the outing. This is how I have decided to do it, just because it makes sense to me: I have found that the simplest place for me to dry my tobacco is at the...

    How Do I Shine Up A Dr. Grabow Color Duke

    I picked up one of the Dr. Grabow Color Dukes off a fella that sold me the pipe rack I bought last weekend: How do I shine this baby up without potentially ruling the finish? I mean it's in pretty decent shape and looks like it's barely been smoked at all, but the surface does have a few...

    Sutliff Tobaccos

    I know that JimInks put together quite an extensive match list of Sutliff tobaccos a while back, but I am more interested also in all of their blends as they are. Wouldn't really know what the match to it tasted like anyway, so I'm just out on a mission to locate some things that I might like to...

    Thankful

    Maybe it's the few Coors I've had so far or maybe this leaf I'm smoking tonight (not the Mary j. Uana either), but I'm feeling pretty thankful right now. I know tomorrow I'll be celebrating my countries Independence Day, but sometimes I just feel like I could be celebrating Thanksgiving. I have...

    A Great Pipe Rack Find At The Flea Market

    I like going to the flea market here in Raleigh from time to time. You just never really know what you're going to find. It's massive. Located at the fairgrounds and stays up almost all year long. I was rolling through the tables and saw a few racks of pipes up on a guys table. I went through...

    Charatan's Make Pipe Arrived Today! (Pic Heavy)

    The Charatan I couldn't resist buying last Sunday at 3 in the morning just arrived today! I plan to dig into this baby tonight cleaning it up and getting it ready to start working on the stem tomorrow. The bowl is in great shape and I am in love with it already.

    What's Your White Whale?

    I often think about the things I have and use on a regular basis. Tools, pipes, technology, etc., are all things I use and they bring me joy when I do. It never ceases to amaze me though, when I think about certain things I'd want. I have pretty much everything I need, but there will always be...

    What Was Used Before We Had Pipe Cleaners?

    I just came back in from having a nice bowl of LBF in my L.P.N. Freehand and while I was standing at the sink, rinsing my bowl and stem, I started to think about the cleaners I've used and how I'll likely need more once the Charatan I bought arrives and I need to get her all cleaned up and...

    Vintage Old Charatan's Make 73 London England Estate Briar Pipe in Box

    Been eyeballin' this old Charatan on the bay for a few days now. Anyone care to take a look and see if it's worthy of the $50 tag? I know the stem needs a lot of TLC, it's pretty beat up, but I just wondered if it would clean up nicely or not. I love the shape of this pipe. If it's not worth...

    What Makes A Dunhill Lighter Worthy of $850?

    Just curious. I was poking around on SP's this morning while smoking an unfinished bowl of BF from last night's drive home and decided to check out lighters again. I keep coming back to it because I'd really love to own an old boy style lighter some day, whether from the nostalgic effect or just...
