    My First DC Pipe

    There is a seller on eBay who has “DC” pipes for sale. According to the seller, the pipes are made by her husband from pre-drilled blocks from Mark Tinsky. She says he only uses hand tools to shape the pipes, no power tools at all. I have been looking at the DC pipes for a while, and I thought...

    My Pipe is a Former Model

    I was checking out the Peterson Pipe Notes site the other day and looking at the 301 pictured there. It’s a STAR System pipe. The caption notes how awesome this pipe can look when it has a correctly bent stem. This got me curious as to how similar my 301 STAR bend is to the pictured one. As I...

    Pipe Dedicating Gone Awry

    It seems that on a consistent basis the question of whether to dedicate a pipe to one blend comes up. Of course, the basic answer is “do what you want”. I don’t really do a lot of pipe dedicating, except that I reserve the ooccaional goopy aromatic for one pipe. However, if I have a good smoke...

    Nicotine Double Down

    In addition to smoking a pipe, I’m also a fan of nasal snuff. I often take snuff immediately after I finish smoking a pipe. Occasionally before a pipe too. Surely I’m not the only one here who does something like this, right? What other forms of tobacco do you like to “double down “ with?

    Can Cake Fix Moisture Problems?

    I have a few pipes that smoke well, but always produce more internal moisture than my other pipes. These pipes have very little or no cake in the chambers. Can I expect them to smoke dryer once a cake has been allowed to form? Or is it just always the nature of some pipes to cause more...

    Pipe Endorsement Deals

    So let’s say the world is much different than it is, and professional pipe smokers can get endorsement deals with pipe companies. (Perhaps slow smokers already do this?) This would entail free pipes and various accoutrements. Which (if any) company would you like to have your deal with? I...

    Lack of Respect for Sutliff?

    I have noticed lately that several of my regular smokes are made by Sutliff. I have also noticed over the time I have been a member of this site (approximately 2.5 years) that Sutliff sometimes is talked about like it is some garbage brand. I notice this on TR also. Why is that? I’ve only been...

    My Long M&T Pipe Story

    I’ll start with pictures, and show you the pipe I’m talking about. I bought this pipe via eBay abiut 2 years ago. It came from a seller in Israel, and we had talked back and forth about the pipe and haggled a bit and finally reached a bargain. I got the pipe and it was filthy and...

    Italian Pipes: Just my Style?

    I’ve been smoking a pipe since September of 2021, so please know I am a relatively new smoker compared with most of you. The first “name” pipes I pursued were Charatan, and I like classic Brit pipes in general largely because of the traditional styling and quality build on many of them. My...

    Don Mock Pipe Availability?

    I just finished a bowl in this Don Mock pipe and I decided I’d really like another one (another Mock pipe, I’ll hold off on another bowl for a bit). I’ve been watching the usual internet locations for a while, but they just don’t seem to come up for sale very often. Any chance you guys know...

    Comoy’s Three Part C Sanding

    I have recently picked up a couple of Comoy’s Tradition pipes that have oxidation on the stems. Both pipes have the three part C. I’m only showing a pic of one of them, but the condition is very similar on both. Is there anything I need to know before sanding the area with the three part C on...

    In Praise of Mixture 79

    The TL;DR version is that I like this stuff and recommend it. Sutliff’s Mixture 79 is a blend I had been curious about for a long time. Finally, roughy six weeks ago I finally bought a pouch. This pouch had no seal and some of the toppings you hear so much about with this blend may have...

    Mixture 79, Topping Stronger in Tub?

    I finally tried Mixture 79 recently, and I really enjoy it. I bought a pouch, and I could smell the black licorice (anise) smell heavily through the pouch. This is the type of pouch that didn’t have a seal, you just open it and there is the tobacco. Although the black licorice smell is quite...

    GBD Rondelle Transplant Help

    I have a GBD that is missing the rondelle. I finally found a suitable donor pipe and I would like to remove the rondelle and place it on my pipe. How should I go about removing it? Will heat alone do it?

    GH Broken Scotch Cake and B&B Question

    I’m not talking about the delicious alcoholic beverage (Benedictine and Brandy), the B&B I’m referring to is GH Burley and Bright. I tried GH broken Scotch Cake for the first time today. Not bad, pretty light fare. Probably glad I just bought a sample, as it doesn’t do as much for me as other...

    Sutliff Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match

    As I believe many of you have already tried this product and are very familiar with it, I will just sum this up with a variation on a quote attributed to Ben Franklin: Sutliff Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. No matter how many blends I try...
