    Gawith and Hoggarth #7 Broken Flake Discontinued?

    Apologies if this was already covered in another thread. Does anyone know if this has been cut from the G&H line? I know another Lakeland favorite of mine "Kendal Flake" was discontinued a bit back. I hope Ennerdale isn't the only sauced lakeland they're keeping. I get that they get some hate...

    WTT: C&D Small Batch for SPC 10/27/2026

    With the good news of SPC blends returning, I checked my cellar and realized I don't have any normal Plum Pudding. Looking to trade C&D Small Batch tins for SPC Plum Pudding. Either the standard version or special reserve, sealed tins preferred. 2023 Carolina Red Flake with Perique 2024 Sun...

    Smokingpipes.com Barling Sale

    As a couple of you might know, I caught the Barling bug and have been building a small collection of family and corporate era classics. Nothing horribly fancy, but some decent pieces I found for a good price. I have yet to buy any of the new Kopp Barling's, but saw they are sale at smoking...

    Coumarin in Pipe Tobacco

    Over the last month I've fallen in love with Peretti's Original Mixture. It happened by accident when I was on a retreat in MA and made a stop into the shop. I asked the clerk for a half pound of royal and he accidentally gave me Original. I didn't notice until I was a few hours outside Boston...

    Savinelli Bowl Coating

    I haven't bought a savinelli in a few years and decided to purchase a new 622 Roman Lucite. For it's inaugural smoke I loaded up some Peretti Original Mixture and half way through the bowl I got this horrific burning chemical taste. I initially thought it may have been the blend, which I smoke...

    RIP Lady Fire

    I don't know if you guys follow Flat Cap Piper on YouTube; but his wife Enit unexpectedly passed away recently. They have been on the radio show and are a big part of the pipe community, both online and at pipe shows. I can't imagine what Rafael is going through right now. If you see this, I am...

    Astley Calabash

    Hello gents, a dear friend and mentor of mine passed away three years ago; his family just got around to doing an estate sale over the weekend. It was very strange having to pay for things he would have given away freely as he was an extraordinary generous and kind man. My wife was able to get a...

    Ebay Dunhill Disappointment

    I recently won a Dunhill Group 4 Tanshell from the 60s. In the listing the seller said the pipe was in mint condition, but I could tell there was a little oxidation on the stem. I messaged the seller and he said it was barely noticable. The pipe arrived today and there's a lot more oxidation...

    Dunhill The White Spot: Ring Grain or Ruby Bark?

    I have my eye on a couple different new Dunhills, a 4103 Ring Grain and a 3104 Ruby Bark and was wondering if you gents could offer any advice you might have. I have older dunhills, this would be my first Albert's White Spot, and I know people have their issues with the new branding but I would...

    Best Blending Perique?

    I found a couple lbs of aged Sutliff 515 RC-1 in my closet and I was thinking about trying to blend something for my pipe club next time we meet. I was thinking about getting some "simply orange" from WCC and some Perique to try to blend something reminiscent of Mike and Russ's "The Mind Meld...

    The One Smoke Gentlemen

    I often hear of the old masters who only smoked one blend. Tolkien is famous for Capstan blue, C.S. Lewis for Three Nuns etc. I've found the blend hopping and TAD a tad obnoxious within myself. I've loved English tobaccos with buttery sour orientals, had an affair with the nutty rich goodness...

    B&M Haul

    I walked in to a local cigar shop to see if they had any pipe tobacco...needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. The guy working there said they like to have pipe tobacco in stock but it doesn't sell. The golden sliced is dated 2013, Racing Green and Mellow Mixture 2014, Jacknife 2018, and I...

    Esoterica Blends

    I've never had the pleasure of trying any of these but I found out a family member will be traveling across the pond and asked if I'd like anything from merry old England. Are Esoterica blends readily available or are they still a rare find even in their home country?

    Tongue Fatigue

    Hello everyone I've been smoking a pipe and lurking these forums off and on a little over a decade. I recently decided to take the occasional pipe up a few levels and have been smoking daily. I've been smoking a lot of C&D burleys as of late but today decided to sample a few different types of...
