    4th Pipes Magazine Zoom Meeting

    Morning all. Now I'm back on deck it's time to kick off our zooms again. These are open to anyone and so if you're thinking you would like to connect with other pipe smokers this could be for you.

    British & Irish Lions Tour

    Well after a resounding thrashing of one of Australia’s provincial teams last week the Lions face off against another tonight in the QLD Reds, should be a good game tonight in a wonderful stadium. I’m not tipping a Reds victory but maybe we will start to unlock this Lions team and expose some...

    British/EU forum

    Just a quick question to all our British and European members. Do you have access to a forum outside of this and if so what is it. Given the movements to ban those of us outside America on other sites I wonder how long it will be until this becomes and enclave for locals.

    Gawith Hoggarth New Blends

    I see the Gawith group rolling out some new tobacco flavours. This is positive given the recent bad news we have been having, mostly aromatics from what I can see.

    Future of tobaccoreviews.com

    After watching Per Jenson’s interview it became apparent to me that the website tobaccoreviews.com is now owned by STG and whilst I don’t use it all the time I find it a very valuable resource about blends that we have lost and varietals of tobacco that have gone the way of the Dodo. This...

    BBB 1892 Questions

    Happened upon this BBB pipe with what appears to be an amber stem and a rather long one at that. Hallmarks are Birmingham 1892 and pipe is in original case. It looks like a crack in the stem, not sure if it's all the way through or not. My questions are: What's it worth? Is it rare? Is that...

Last night after a wonderful meal and drinks, myself and the better half spent 2 hours locked in an elevator with 8 other people.
