I bought an herb press, with the idea of taking some of my old, dried out tobacco and combining it with some moister modern tobaccos and making some of my own small cakes, perhaps with a bit of Bourbon, Rum or Absinthe.

Ah, what would life be without it? Maybe that’s why I have Softy bits on all my pipes?

I recently took advantage of the discount price that was offered on C&D blends, ordering enough that I also had the benefit of their free shipping. (About 15 tins) Now that I’ve received them, I see that all but three of them are labeled for US sale only. The 3 exceptions were Bayou Night...

..., should I be using Cherry tobacco? hahaupuffynanarotf

I recently acquired a small lot of ten estate pipes. One was a Calabash in decent shape and the other nine were evidently briars in need of cleaning, but makers etc. weren’t obvious in the ad. Two of them were marked as Sardinian Briar and I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about that.

Most of my meerschaum pipes have never been smoked. Today I decided to make it one less. The artist is “Sami” and I like his work! It has a relatively small bowl that goes well with the strength of my Kajun Kake. Very nice! pufpuf☕

Sorry I can’t join you guys at the show. I’m uncomfortably close to ground zero for the landfall of this hurricane and have my hands full getting ready for it. I might very well be out of touch for a while! Enjoy the show & smoke a bowl for me! :puffy:

Pipe/cigarette tobaccos from the 1920’s. Approximately 1 ounce each and came with rolling papers. I think that they are kind of cool- I remember the old b&w westerns where the cow pokes would have the tags hanging out of their shirt pockets!

A new (to me) product that allows you to mix your own blend to taste. I got two of the Va Per not yet blended jars that contain equal parts of Virginia, Bright Virginia and Perique, figuring that it would also give me a chance to try some pure Perique that I haven’t seen seen elsewhere. In the...

Not to be taken literally, of course. Hopefully our choice of pipes will not have as deleterious an effect on our health as other forms of tobacco. This might not be as pertinent to those among us who are already widowers themselves (as am I- remarried now for almost 20 years to lovely Russian...

For me, I have a literary bent and what comes to mind is Frost’s “The Road Less Taken” and Twain’s comment that “A pipe gives an intelligent man time to think and a fool something to stick in his mouth!” I detest cigarettes, never cared to try snuff and have only bought an occasional cigar when...

Their policy does not allow tobacco sales. Not that I haven’t bought tobacco products before or since, but I guess that was allowed because they were considered collections or collectibles I wondered what was going on when a recent search for “sealed tins” gave me several hits with the...

Just got my Bengal Slices tin that I ordered from Smoking Pipes. “Cyprian Latakia, Oriental, bright Virginia & Black Cavendish.

I’ll put this tin up next to my Rocky Patel Prohibition- just for the name’s sake! If it makes sense, you can buy Bootlegger (not to be confused with Bootlegged), but you can’t buy “Bootlegger.” They’ve changed the name to Drunken Cherry! The back label on the tin says Burley and Black...

Just a few days ago and I’m finishing it already! Dark & light Cavendish with Burley and a hint of vanilla... Very smooth and I try to smoke aromatic blends when my wife is home, so this has been excellent!

I’m glad I don’t! I like to light mine with a match and it really flares up between puffs! If I did I’d be reconsidering by now!

This is my first Latakia blend and I’m smoking my first pipeful as I write.. It’s also my first time using a clay pipe. I’m using an 18” clay cutty that I found in Tinder Box several years ago.

This is a first for me and I hope it’s not commonplace. I’ve bought a few lots and I’m not sure which this one was a part of, so I mailed it to the address on the back, hoping for a replacement. They mailed it back to me! With a phone number to call. As it turns out, they were the...

Does this handiwork look familiar to anyone? The top pipe I found somewhere a decade or two ago and the other I just acquired. They look like they might both be the handiwork of the same artist.
