    Shiver Me Timbers...Another Shipmate Aboard the Black Frigate

    I was aware that a lot of guys love their BF. Now I have to say that I am a lover of this blend as well. I was hooked on the cracking of the tin. The initial smell on this thing is gorgeous. As much as some might get a sense of the rum, for whatever reason the scent also reminds me of a black...

    My MM Stash Just Arrived...First 7-Day Grab Bag Reveal

    So this was my first grab bag purchase from MM and I couldn't be happier with what I got. I just wished I was more careful in identifying the types of stems they have as replacements, since I snagged the wrong dang size. Here is the picture of my horde: I think I did pretty well, from top to...

    Why List a Pipe That's Sold?

    I have been cruising around the interwebs for some time now. I've found that I now cruise websites for new pipes, even if I don't have the intention of actually purchasing. I just like to browse and drool on myself when I see something I love and would love to own. I've noticed something that...

    Peterson System Not For All Petersons?

    So I reckon this is a generic question, but I am confused a bit. I have been looking over the Peterson brand on several sites and noticed that there is an actual section on most sites for "Peterson System Pipes". Now my question is, don't all Peterson pipes use the Peterson System, or are those...

    Do You Have A Special Occasion Tobacco?

    Good morning gents! I was just working through planning a trip to my wife's hometown for a wedding. It seems one of her best friends is getting married, so we've decided to drive to Des Moines, IA from NC and back. It's actually cheaper than flying and renting a car. I wanted to take something...

    Purchasing Question

    I've been perusing the many different tobaccos I see so many of you guys talk about from time to time such as the recent post about a Kentucky Flake and just started searching around for some of the MacB ODF to buy some day just to give it a shot since it has my interest now. I found a site that...

    Looks like they've gone and done it....Like I figured they likely would.

    What Meerschaum To Buy First?

    So I'm very interested in buying a Meer, but it will be the first one I've ever had. I really like the way some of them look and want to buy one new to color it myself. The cost of most has me a little anxious about purchasing one for so much with it being the first one that I own. Mostly, I'm...

    Pipe Restoration for My Dad

    So I am planning to gift this pipe I recently picked up to my Dad for Father's Day after deep contemplation. He remarked just how much he liked it the other day when I showed it to him. So I've been steadily cleaning it up to take it from this: To this over the past week: I cleaned it up...

    Do You Smoke A Thousand Dollar Pipe?

    So I was browsing SP's site as I usually do in the afternoons to see what's new or anything that strikes my fancy and I fell across this English Estates: Dunhill Bruyere Christmas 'Three French Hens' (4202) (327/500) (1995) (Unsmoked): After I picked my chin up off the table and wiping drool...

    New (To Me) Zippo

    I acquired a zippo today too, along with my new, currently unidentified pipe at the same antique mall. Paid $30 for this one, but I got it more because of the text on the side. No more like it will be made, so I think I got it at a bargain. Never been out of the bag before, but I bought it to...

    New Pipe Acquired, Could Someone Help ID?

    I just acquired a new pipe this morning at one of the local antique malls. I'm not quite sure what brand it is, but I like the grain and the detail on the briar. I'm going to clean it up and see how she looks after a little TLC. Anyone by chance know what brand this one could be?

    Prince Albert 1.5 Ounce Box

    Okay, so I was at my local Walmart and found a box of PA on the shelves and decided to buy it and give it a shot. I think I may start just buying all sorts of stuff I see like that just for kicks and smoke it. I man hell it was only like $3.60 for the box. I'm heading home to my family this...

    Pipe Smoking Sour At End

    I just had the most perfect bowl of Chartwell, a Tinder Box blend, that I bought when I bought the $45 no name pipe off their wall. It was fantastic until the last few puffs and I just had the most awful sour draw I have ever had. When I dumped it right after, it was a little wet at the bottom...

    Anyone Had Recent Experience with Lorenzetti or Molina Pipes?

    I'm in the market for a new pipe to add to my collection. As much salivating as I did over that $335 Urbano Bent Bulldog, I'm not sure I want to put that much money down yet until I can confirm that I like the style and how it smokes. I've been considering something that costs a little bit less...

    Pipe Smoking Annoyance

    What was or is the most annoying thing you experienced while learning to smoke a pipe? Was it learning how to pack it correctly? Light it properly? Learning when to dry your tobacco more? I have had a good learning curve. I enjoy my smokes, but I always get a little annoyed when I realize I...

    Ardor: Urano Bent Bulldog Making Me Dream Big

    This new Ardor bulldog is making me drool. I don't know why, but it's just slapping me in the face right now begging me to take it. And I'm broke. And now I just want to drink some whiskey while I smoke my new cob and wish it didn't cost $400. Not sure exactly WHY it costs $400,but I still wish...

    Jarring/Cellaring Questions

    Okay, so I'm new to the whole idea of jarring tobaccos or cellaring any tobaccos for future enjoyment. More and more talk is being thrown around about the inevitability of losing a lot of the blends that many of you guys have had and love and might be something I might even love. Even if those...

    Just Picked Up Nording's Hunter Blend: Labradour

    I just stopped back by my local pipe shop and picked up the last tin of Erik Nording's Hunter Blend: Labrador. I'm torn, because on one hand, I really wanted to try this when I first saw it in his shop, but on the other hand, it will never be made again as it was produced by McClelland...

    Anyone Had an Experience with Altinokpipes.com?

    I was just recently over looking at Altinokpipes.com for a meerschaum pipe. I've thought long and hard about what I want to have in my collection someday, and I don't think my collection would be complete without a meerschaum pipe of some sort residing within. I'm not entirely sold on the idea...
