Saw Another One
I met a pipe smoker in the wild once. He was a security guard for the building where I previously worked. He approached me and said, “I knew I smelled Latakia!”. From then on we shared blends and traded almost every time we met up, he turned me on to Mac Baren Scottish Mixture. I see other pipe...- hawky454

Brown Sugar Flake
I had the same experience at first, even traded a tin. But months later I really started liking it.- hawky454

Brown Sugar Flake
Is it a limited run? Last time they did this, they had to stop immediately because it was an exclusive offer with The Danish Pipe Shop. Wonder what changed. I do like this one, it took awhile to grow on me. I originally ordered it from DPS, was $60 for two tins way back then, probably be more...- hawky454

AKB and IMP Meerschaum
I think it’s pretty clear that you can’t go wrong either way. Whatever you decide, please be sure to share some pictures! The Meerschaum madness is strong this March! I will say, I’m not giving my briars up but now that I have an IMP, I’m a fan of Meerschaum pipes and I plan on getting more down... -

I’m just now figuring this out. I was wondering why I wasn’t seeing any new content but each time I started to wonder this, my mind drifted on to the next thought. I actually really love the Mystery Tobacco Reviews and Tasting Notes. They can be long but I never get bored. Glad to see they are...- hawky454

AKB and IMP Meerschaum
Yeah, I possibly shouldn’t have brought this up, it happens to high end, low end and everything in between from time to time. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one from AKB/Tekin. In fact, I probably will get one eventually. -
AKB and IMP Meerschaum
It was in that nice hard case though. I was willing to look passed the scratch too, I was already working out ways to buff it out myself, which, as deep as the scratch was would have taken a lot of effort, I’ll say maybe, maybe that happened in transit but the drilling certainly didn’t. Could... -
AKB and IMP Meerschaum
Good point. It was a Tekin. Which, I heard great things about this carver, so no judgement but I was very surprised that pipe got passed quality control. Otherwise it was very beautiful billiard. Either way, you are safe ordering from Smokingpipes. It was just a practice in patience. -
AKB and IMP Meerschaum
I just ordered an AKB back in February. I returned it for an IMP. In short, I’m very happy with the IMP, there were two flaws on the AKB that I couldn’t get passed. 1. A large scratch on the stem (deep). 2. When I put a pipe cleaner in it, I discovered that it was drilled too far back, so... -
Carolina Red Flake Is Yucky
I haven’t had any since it’s first release in 2016. I really enjoyed it and have bought several releases since then. I need to pop a tin soon but as usual I’m popping more tins than I can smoke I need to smoke through some of the stuff I already have open. I’m somewhere in the 200 to 250 jars...- hawky454

Warped The Red Hunt – Is it Topped?
I long long time ago I bought a 8 oz tin of Plum Pudding, it was labeled Plum Pudding, no reason to think otherwise… I aged it for 10 years, opened it up and it turned out to be Mississippi River. I was given a replacement tin but just confirming that this does indeed happen. I’m not a fan of...- hawky454

Should I Buy Aged Tobacco?
Also, just keep in mind, you may not appreciate it as much as you would when you are more experienced. I’m just speaking from personal experience and I have no idear how long you’ve been smoking but I personally wouldn’t have appreciated the nuances of aged tobacco early on as I would now. A lot...- hawky454

Should I Buy Aged Tobacco?
I’d just start aging, I started in 2009 and now I’m worried about all my blends getting too much age on them, time flies and you’ll have aged blends before ya know it. I think it’s more rewarding when you open a blend that you bought and aged yourself. Plus you know it’s been stored properly and...- hawky454

Process Of Selecting Next Smoke.
That’s a great album! Tis a complicated game… now that song is stuck in my head. Yeah, I have no system, just whatever I’m craving, sometimes I will sit there and look at all my jars for way too long. Considering I always smoke two pipes at a time, it takes me twice as long to figure out what...- hawky454
