    The Briary 4/26/2025

    Well I had the great pleasure in finally getting to The Briary in Birmingham, Alabama. What a treat it was. In a quaint little house, this gem exists just 5 minutes outside Birmingham Alabama. I walked in and was immediately greeted and welcomed. The employees were as thrilled for an out of...

    What’s Happening To Me?

    Tongue & cheek title, nonetheless I’m finding major shifts in my affections for a certain pipe shape. I picked up the pipe in 2014. An interesting year in the pipe community with the explosion of garage artisans popping up and selling their first pipes made for $500+. It felt crazy then, even...

    Don Carlos Pipes

    I recently came across the history of Don Carlos pipes. To my surprise I learned Bruto Sordini is from Cagli, Italy. Not far from my families village of Salcito. This of course made me very interested in his brand. Other than short history on pipe pedia and a few examples of his pipes online, I...

    Collecting Ethos

    I can’t exactly remember who and which Pipes Magazine show I heard it on, but a conversation came up that most pipe smokers don’t have a collection, they have an allocation or rather an assortment of pipes. Not a collection. This had me pondering the validity of the statement made and if that...

    Dunhill Root Date

    Curious if someone can shed light on this Dunhill for me. Friend of mine says it’s a 1965/66 production. From my research I’m dating it closer to 1971/75. Who’s right? Thanks!

    Tabac Manil: Reserve du Patron

    I ventured into the world of semois tobacco. While the strength is right up my alley, I feel the taste is laking due to the tobacco being so dry upon receiving the package. Anyone else experience this problem with semois blends? I have never felt a tobacco with such little moisture content...
