    Happy Boxing Day To Our Brits

    Most Americans probably think all the Brits and Canadians are beating the hell out of each other. Tomorrow is Shiner Day? Instead of helping the poor and less fortunate it has turned into a shopping day! Sounds very American now. Rest easy. Nobody is getting beaten up.

    Need Help Getting Off My Ass

    I have to admit that I am apprehensive about posting this. I am a born procrastinator and I probably need someone to shame me in to getting in shape. I'm over 70 and the typical pipe smoker in that I am a contemplative sort of guy who likes nothing more than a chair and a good book, some good...

    Peterson Kapet XL81S Question

    I have the above referenced pipe and have owned it since the 1980’s. I never see it appear in posts, but I see lots of 80S’s. Is this rare? Is it a bent bulldog or Rhodesian? It has a small chamber but a very wide bowl with thick walls. Great smoker! Any thoughts?

    Old Film Cameras

    I still have some old film cameras, but I can't rationalize the cost of doing film anymore, and digital is so bloody convenient. Having said that, I still love my old Pentax, Nikkormat, and Canon cameras, and particularly my vintage Russian rangefinders. I have a Kiev 4a ( Contax copy) and a...

    How Much Air Space When Jarring Bulk?

    Is air space necessary? If so, how much? And can I cram as much in the jar as possible?

    Luddite Needs Help!

    I'm useless on this iPad so please help. Some of you guys are hilarious and I've been reacting with "likes" because I don't know how to do those yellow "Ha Ha"s with the face! Also, if I hit "reply" by mistake, how do I delete it. I need to know this so I can practice with those hieroglyphics...

    Nose "Grease" To Clean Pipe Rim?

    It must have been my grandfather that told me to use nose "grease" to clean the pipe rim after a smoke. To prevent the blackening of the rim, the grease and salt sweat kept the rim clean. "Clean" is probably a relative term when you use bodily secretions on your pipe, but I've always done it...

    My New Blakemar Sir Douglas Pipe

    I rec’d my pipe from Mike Billington yesterday. It’s lovely and smokes great right from the start due to the carbonising process Mike uses. He makes very high quality pipes for a price that is hard to believe. This pipe was a bespoke design requested by Douglas Bader, the controversial and...

    Is Blakemar Briars Still In Business?

    Is Michael Billington still making pipes in Northamptonshire? I've sent a few e-mails and attempted to order through PayPal and that's screwed up. I really want a Sir Douglas pipe.

    Non Butane Lighter w/Tamper?

    I'm generally a match guy, but when I'm reading(all the time!), I like a lighter(only one hand available). I hate the butane blow torch type. Does anyone know of a lighter that uses regular old fluid that has a tamper attached? Short of soldering a nail to my Zippo, I don't know of any. Help!

    Why So Few Members Put Location in Profiles

    It's interesting to know where you folks are from and very few put it in their profiles. Are you afraid (NAME REMOVED) will know where you live? Opinions. Edit: I removed the reference to a politician/Al

    Tea And Pipes

    I like black tea with my pipes. For me it's Punjana loose tea with a little milk but no sugar. What brands do you drink and how do you drink them?

    Dr Grabow Question

    I've always had a soft spot for good old drug store no nonsense codger pipes. I notice that some of you smoke Dr Grabows. Are any current production Grabows made without lacquer finishes? Years ago I sanded it off a few but was never sure how deep the lacquer penetrated. The Grabow website...

    Calling All Pipe Noobs

    I haven’t been here all that long myself, and most members are more than willing to help an enthusiastic noob. I know from experience. I highly recommend you peruse the Basic and Beginners section, and make good use of the search feature top right. It seems the more “unique” your question, the...

    Calling All St Bruno Lovers!

    Yesterday I e-mailed MacBaren about the possibility of St Bruno in bulk. I mentioned that I thought my fellow members at Pipesmagazine would be very much interested in this. I got a prompt reply from Per Georg Jensen, Product Mgr, that they were already thinking about this and they would...

    Codger Gold!! C&D Three Friars: Opinions?

    Wow, has this grown on me in the last few years. Most OTC drug store blends just don't have enough intensity for me. This stuff is cheap and available in bulk. Great all day smoke with some piquancy and because of its chunky blend you get moments of variety down through the entire bowl. I'd...

    How Much To Cellar

    I smoke approx 3 smallish pipes a day. Tobacco legislation and the nanny state in general make me angry. Today I looked up the actuarial tables for a 71 year old man, and I'm "expected" to last 13.73 years. How much Cosmic Mixture do I need to cellar to see me through (I hate math!)? Please...

    St. Bruno: Will It Ghost?

    Just rec’d my first packet of St. Bruno. Do I need to choose my pipe carefully? I smoke Cosmic mixture nearly all the time.
