"Royal Lane" pipe ?
I've had this guy for a while, sweet smoker, cool looking old English rusticated straight Dublin. Been trying to find out more about it, pipedia and pipephil didn't have much info. Want to know if it's a small company, a second, or a basket pipe, and possibly age. Here are pics of the pipe and... -
Papa Pete arrives ( 305 System )
I managed to snag this off eBay, if you remember my other posting at the beginning of this week. It arrived safely today. No "before" pics as the outside did not need any work other than a quick rub down with vodka and some Brebbia stem polish on the stem followed by a rub down with coconut... -

I traded with a forum member for a tin of this blend : Sutliff Westminster. The only other two Sutliff blends I've tried were French Quarter ( yuck ) and Blend No 5 ( yum ).

Server time ?
Is there any way to customize the current server time to fit one's location? I see on the posts it shows "1 hour ago, 2 days ago etc" but on the PM side the sent/received times appear to be GMT. Any input appreciated.- rcstan

McClelland Frog Morton
Since this is somewhat of a benchmark tobacco blend, I decided to try it out. Got a 100g tin from 4noggins.com in my last order at the beginning of March 2012. Finally opened it this morning and ….. ….it was awesome enough to get a positive first-bowl reaction! I opened the metal lid and was...- rcstan

Peterson Irish Flake review
I opened the square tin and was greeted by a rich aroma of mature ripe tobacco, with musty wood tones. A gold colored sticker with Mr Peterson's likeness and signature sealed the paper wrap. There were 22 neatly stacked deep reddish brown slices inside the paper wrap. The slices were moist...- rcstan
