Thumbing The Bowl
Hi Friends. I’ve been watching lots of pipe ’experts’ on YouTube and notice everyone passes their thumb over the top of the bowl every now and then, especially when first lighting. What’s that about?

Zippo for Pipes
Ok, so another thread called 'Show me your Zippo lighter' caught my attention and reminded me that I was given a really cool Vietnam era Zippo as a gift from my wife.

Smoke Shamrock Plug Tobacco
Hi Pipers. It's likely a stretch, but hoping someone may have an idea of the origin of this beautiful print that we've had in our family for a couple generations. Have you heard about Shamrock? I did some digging and found that Shamrock Plug Tobacco was a brand from Imperial Tobacco in...- JSPiper71

VaPer Advice Please
Posting this in a new thread hoping to get some advice. Hello Pipers. Sutliff 2021 Cringle Flake is the tobacco that changed my world. I'm a total rookie, having just dabbled in pipe smoking for a couple months. When I went to my B&M, he thought he'd start me on an Aro. (Yuck). We then moved...- JSPiper71
