    Show Us Your Most Comfortable Pipe!

    The first pipe I bought from my local B&M in Austin was a Viking Classic Dublin that I rather overpaid for, according to the online dealers. It is a stellar flake pipe and is often my go to for Old Dark Fired and VA flakes. I damaged the finish on the back edge of the rim with aggressive...

    Your Disappointing Pipe: Ugly, Runs Hot, etc.

    I have a Todd Harris Paneled Lovat Morta I bought from someone here. It's a nice looking pipe, but the walls are so thin, it heats up instantly. I can get through a bowl by holding the shank, but it's damn near a safely hazard. I suspect my technique has improved some since last using it. I...

    Strong Virginias

    Forgive the thread drift. (actually, it's what I do!) nnnn Could you expound upon the difference between the African and Imperial labels? I always thought Imperials also encompassed the African stuff. Thanks.

    PipesAndCigars.Com: Are They Trustworthy?

    I built half of my cellar from P&C. Had one problem and they handled it well enough. They are the walmart of our world. They are usually cheapest and that comes with a cost, lesser service. If you want lightning fast shipping and pretty boxes, shop elsewhere. If you don't care how long the...

    Do You Have a Disappointing Pipe ? And Why

    Soon into my pipe smoking journey, I decided I wanted a Falcon. I bought a nice, slightly bent model with a brown finish and got a meer lined bowl for it. No matter how I smoked it, I could not get satisfactory performance from it. I've come to find that I like larger bowls, for one thing...

    Show Us Your Savinelli Pipes!

    Maybe my 2nd PAD of the year. I just scored this "estate" pipe (looks new to me) on that damned auction site. Every Savinelli I've had has performed admirably. Savinelli Mediterrranea 123. I like the three sided cumberland stem and the understated decor.
