    Recommendations for Pipe Shops in Sante Fe, NM

    Hi all. It has not been a very conducive Spring for pipesmoking here in LA (both weather related -- ho hoy did our house get soaked and flooded, please don't ask how much work was needed! -- and just workwise keeping me from getting outside for a bit of peaceful time). But I'm heading to Santa...

    Oregon Official Resigns For Hoarding Top-Shelf Bourbons

    I don't mean to start a debate about capital punishment, but surely this ought to be a capital offense? From the NY Times: Outrageous! :)

    Czech Tool vs. ... Well, More Handsome Alternatives

    So I have always used Czech tools with my pipes -- they are so inherently functional and just straight to the point. In particular, I monkey around with the pick a lot (as much as the tamper and the scoop or whatever you might call the third part are also functional). I've never understood why...

    Beware that Special Bourbon!

    Hey all. Without running afoul of any forum rules, I thought I'd point people in this particular section to a story I saw over the weekend. I'll link to it and provide the key pieces: The story calls "super-premium American whiskey" as bottles above $50...

    This Is Not a Pipe

    I was at the LA County Museum of Art earlier this week and in our wanderings (it is undergoing a major renovation with three of the buildings demolished to make way for one new building) we came across this fairly famous painting:

    Meet Me in Beverly Hills. (You Do Have $300 or so Just Lying Around, Right?)

    Just came across a story on an LA-area food/restaurant blog about a new cigar bar in about the fanciest part of Beverly Hills. Story link but the best parts: And: I feel like $315 could buy a lot of tobacco or even bottles of scotch or bourbon.

    What is the Best Tip or Advice You've Ever Gotten About Smoking a Pipe?

    Hi all. One of the difficult things as a relative (or still totally) newcomer here is most of the obvious, essential questions and topics have been covered. And then covered again. And again. I know, for instance, sitting permanently at the top of this section is a link to pipe smoking tips...

    Smoke in Your Car? You Might Need One of These

    I just got back from an event at an LA museum celebrating a new book on LA's lowrider car culture. Cars ran from a 1932 Ford Roadster to 2000s Chevys. In a couple there were holders for pipes -- the photos of this one didn't come out as well as I'd hoped, but you may still get the idea.

    May as Well Admit It: I Like Fr. Dempsey Best. What Should I Purchase That's Like It?

    As the subject line suggests, after enjoying a near hour-long smoke of Kramer's Fr. Dempsey in my Pete House pipe, I realized it was just plainly and simply the smoke I've enjoyed the most recently. Better (to my taste) that Eight State, EMP, a local Virginia blend, C&D's Haunted Bookshop, even...

    New TV Show With Pipe-Smoking Lead

    Hi all. I've heard on more than a few pipe podcasts discussions of movies, TV shows, etc. with pipe smokers featured. (I don't think I've seen a thread here, but that is probably just my relative newness.) But one is coming: "The North Water." From the IMBD synopsis: The North Water tells...

    Los Angeles Moves Toward Ban on Flavored Tobacco, Exempts Hookah Bars

    Los Angeles jumped past a pretty big moment today with its City Council approving a ban on flavored tobaccos. From this LA Times story: L.A. moves to ban selling flavored tobacco, but exempts some hookah sales -...

    I Know They're Straight Forward but I'm Excited: Two New Petersons

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) It's been a long long time since I bought a new pipe, but last week I finished off a good and successful work project so I decided to treat myself, and to honor the memory of my maternal grandfather -- born in Cork, Ireland -- I decided it was...

    A First Tin (really): Peterson Early Morning Pipe

    This may come as a surprise, but after smoking a pipe on and off for decades, I finally bought a proper tin of tobacco. And after not too careful consideration, it is Peterson's Early Morning Pipe. I expect to get into it this holiday weekend, at the latest. And anticipating the question: I've...

    Are Many Millennials Smoking Pipes? Also: Seek Tobacco Suggestions

    Cut down and reworded title. Hope you do not mind. Captitalized important words per Rule 9. And welcome to the forum! Just got done taking a brief break from the day, with a medium sized bowl of Kramer's Fr. Dempsey in a small bent billiard I used to have at my office, for walking breaks...
