    American Pipe Makers

    Forum staff. Please. Fix this as as it regards mobil. It won't minimize and the mobile viewer can't see what he is typist reading. Not a good way to attract one to "American pipe makes". It blocks the view of the forum and is annoying. Here's hoping this came through in English because I...

    Quote From A Famous Pipesmoker

    (My gift to you, fellow pipe smokers) I don’t know how it will be in years to come.  There are monstrous changes taking place in the world, forces shaping a future whose face we do not know.  Some of these forces seem evil to us, perhaps not in themselves but because their tendency is to...

    P&C tobacco of the month club

    I haven't heard much about this lately. But I remember the long threads when it first came out. What's the verdict a year or so later? Anyone still on board? Thoughts on the blends and the value? Do you look forward to your package each month? Or does it lose its luster?

    Enabling

    So I recently found out that an old friend of mine was interested in pipe smoking and had smoked a few bowls. I had nothing to do with his entry. But we've been talking about pipes and technique and tobacco. And I'm sending him a sampler from my cellar. There is no better feeling than enabling...

    Chattanooga Pipe Show: is it dead?

    Is it on this year? Or has it passed silently into the dark night of pipe smoking history?

    Why Does Burley Taste Better in a Cob?

    Discuss. Or disagree.

    Mark Twain (MM)

    Heretofore, when it came to cobs, I have smoked Country Gents almost exclusively. However, this new Mark Twain may convert me over. Love the weight, balance, and bowl thickness. Any fans out there? (As a side note, that very first bowl in a new cob filled with burley is quite an extraordinary...

    Sir Ernest Shackleton

    Like many of you, I'm a big fan of ole Sir Ernest - since long before I was a pipesmoker. I am watching a show called "Chasing Shackleton" on Netflix. It's a three-part program where some guys recreate the Endurance escape. So far it's pretty good and I figured there were enough "Endurance"...

    Blends You Have Changed Your Mind About

    I've recently had to go back and update a few of my tobacco reviews, on the positive side. GL Pease's Navigator and, more recently, Stokkebye's Luxury Twist Flake. What are some of the blends you've found average or below average but changed your mind about and later enjoyed, and what changed...

    Question For The Dr Grabow Experts

    I recently picked up a new Grand Duke that's like none I've seen or owned. The Grand Dukes I've seen are all small-bowled billiards. This is a large bowled Dublin with really nice grain considering the price. I picked this up at a drug store. Wasn't looking for a pipe but it caught my eye. Is...

    Frogs

    While many lament the passing of hunting season and the dwindling of fishing season, we are slowly approaching frog-gigging season. Granted, one can fish all year long. And I do. But it's only in the peak of summer, when we're at 90+ degrees at night on the South, and all kinds of things come...

    Pipe Smoking Book Recommendation.

    Several months back, a forum member posted a link to a number of old, out of print books that were available on-line as Kindle downloads. Sadly, I'm on the road, typing this on a phone, and unable to provide a link. One of those books was J.M. Barrie's "My Lady Nicotine / A Study in Smoke"...

    To Wives And Girlfriends

    May they never meet. Kidding...... Seriously though, Mother's Day came and went and it occurred to me how lucky I am that Mrs Perique enjoys the aroma of a good pipe tobacco and is 100% supportive of my passion. She's actually said to me that a house doesn't smell quite right without the...

    Site Sponsor: thepipeguys.com

    I'm in no way affiliated with this vendor, just happened to click their link and wanted to give them a round of applause for a very nice website. I like the "bac-pack" idea: nicely packaged and would make a great gift. Their starter kit is also well thought out and very nicely packaged. This may...

    Your "All-Day" Blend

    I enjoy my more complex VaPers (and the occasional light or aromatic English) in the evening, typically with a beverage and in a more relaxed state. But like many here, I also smoke a pipe all day. During the day I prefer a less complicated, easy to smoke, pack-it-and-forget-it blend that still...

    Musings On The Internet As It Regards Our Hobby

    I really like pipes and pipe tobacco. Some might say im obsessive about tobacco. And I like talking about pipe tobacco and pipe smoking. I don't know anyone who smokes a pipe. Not a soul. Out here in the rural South, I have only ever seen one person smoking a pipe. None of my friends smoke...

    Bluegrass / New-Grass

    I'm a big fan of traditional bluegrass, but also enjoy bluegrass-inspired modern alt-country / roots music (sometimes referred to as "newgrass"). As for "newgrass", I like the SteelDrivers, OCMS, Cadillac Sky, Crooked Still, and anything Rachel Brooke does with bluegrass (few and far between)...

    Plug Your B&M Blend

    Heres a thread to pimp your favorite B&M blend. Let us know the blend, what it's like, and how you get it. I'll start: My favorite B&M blend is "Battleground", formally a 310 blend that is now produced and sold by The Humidor, in Murfreesboro, TN. It's a Cavendish-based aromatic with a dash...

    Lakeland Recommendations: Here We Go

    I'm curious to try a few Lakeland blends. Just can't get my mind around the reviews and descriptions, so have to taste for myself. So I put it to the forum braintrust. I figured a good place for me to start would be GH Louisiana Flake. Thoughts? What else would you recommend for someone curious...

    Saturday Night Fights - Revisited - Battle Of The VA Flakes

    Been awhile since I posted one of these bouts. A year, maybe. But here she goes: Battle of the Virginia Flakes-- SG Full Virginia Flake vs Dunhill Flake. In one corner we have FVF, a persnickety yet delicious example of pure Virginia goodness. In the other, we have Dunhill's Orlik offering: a...
