    What's your favorite painting?

    These are two of my favorites: Georges Seurat's - A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884–1886) Edward Hopper's - Nighthawks (1942) I observed both of these paintings last year at the Art Institute of Chicago, and bought a small print of each to display in my shop.

    What is your Favorite Christmas Blend?

    My favorite Christmas blend is McClelland Christmas Cheer. My favorite was the 2013 blend. I have a small amount of 2017 left that I'll be enjoying in the coming weeks. I'm currently smoking Rattray's Winter Edition (Merry Christmas) 2022, and it's pretty good. I really like Rattray's Exotic...

    What Do You Mean When You Say….

    I'm good inside thanks! ;) If I was to smoke my pipes in the elements/weather, I wouldn't count that towards the pipe being a bad smoker if I was having issues, as certain elements/weather could and/or will impact the smoking experience. My determination of whether a pipe is a good smoker or...

    What Do You Mean When You Say….

    For those that smoke outside, the elements (i.e. temp., wind, etc.) can play a part in your smoking experience for sure. I don't think the elements dictate how much a person draws on the pipe, that's the person's own choice. I smoke my pipes 90% of the time inside, but on the occasions I smoke...

    What Do You Mean When You Say….

    For me it is a pipe that provides the following: - smooth even draw - doesn't collect to much moisture - doesn't get hot in the hand - is comfortable in the hand and/or clenching - provides a good flavor of the tobacco - will smoke all types of tobacco without issue (i.e. ribbon cut, course cut...

    Latakia Doesn't Age Well ... Or Does It?

    Currently smoking some Mac Baren - HH Latakia Flake from November 2014, so 11 years of age. It's a little subdued compared to a fresh tin, but I think it's great right now. My experience has taught me that 6-9 years is excellent, and 10-12 years is great.

    Does a meerschaum pipe bowl make a difference?

    I really like the look of the Sun pipes. I almost pulled the trigger on one of the meerschaum lined ones to try it and compare to my actual meers, but I didn't. I can't give an opinion on the matter, but if you're interested enough in trying one then buy one. If not then you can always get...

    Nording Is Closing Up

    That's sad news. I don't own a Nording, but when I first got into pipes I was really impressed with some of his pipes. Just couldn't afford one at the time.
