    Thoughts From Millennials or Younger

    I just turned 26, and picked up the pipe early in 2020. The main reason was because a buddy of mine had bought one, and rarely, if ever, smoked it, but it intrigued me. I was always interested in the pipe, probably stemming from watching the Lord of the Rings movies all the time when i was...

    Illegal To Ship Tobacco To Maine

    Same story here in Utah. It is a serious pain. I like to support my local shops as much as i can but the taxes make most tins $20+ so i usually find deals on here or in Facebook groups. There are also a few online retailers that either aren't aware, or turn a blind eye... but that is always a...

    Fall/Holiday Blends

    Always see people posting their hauls of Thanksgiving Day. I think I'm going to try to get some this year, I've always wondered, does this stuff leave a ghost or is the topping pretty light?

    Fall/Holiday Blends

    Fall really is the best for pipe smoking. I always look forward to burley blends like Peterson's Irish Flake, and Solani Aged Burley Flake for cool fall mornings. It gets pretty cold here in Utah, but when i can make it out for a bowl around Christmas time, i usually go for something like Plum...

    New releases?

    Instagram, Reddit, & Facebook groups really are the best way. I am in multiple facebook groups with members that somehow get blends before they drop. I'm sure this site is a good resource as well, but i don't check it often enough.

    Pipe Smoking and Exercise

    Curious to hear some other people thoughts and experiences on exercising/working out and how their pipe smoking affects it. I try to run 15~20 miles a week, and rock climb regularly both outdoors and in the gym. I love smoking a pipe a few hours after a good workout, and don't really feel it...

    Mississippi river

    That being said, I love Mississippi river! My favorite of the SPC blends for sure! Have yet to try the special reserve version, but i did grab a tin of the flake. Have any of you tried the flake? Might have to pop it open soon
