    Nording Is Closing Up

    Just saw this posted on Reddit and thought I’d share it here. Bad news for the pipe world (and me since I love Nording pipes): https://www.danishpipeshop.com/n/Niks-Corner https://www.danishpipeshop.com/n/Niks-Corner

    New Peterson Pub Pipes Look Awesome

    I've never even seen a pub pipe that came in any shape other than the usual Hungarian, but now we have monster billiards (similar to the house pipe) and, best of all, Dublins! I've been harping about Peterson releasing a nice, big Dublin and my wish has come true. Anybody else snatch one of...

    2025 Peterson Halloween Pipes Just Dropped

    If you haven't seen these yet, they went with the system shapes this time, dressed all black with a black acrylic army mount. Pretty nice looking pipe! Here's the one I purchased: They are up for sale on SP and a couple other sites.

    What’s Your Fave Dunhill Blend?

    Yes, I know Peterson makes SOME of these blends now. That said…what Dunhill blend stands the test of time to you? My experience with these blends dates back to the late 80’s, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. But for me, two blends have stood the test of time: Nightcap and Royal Yacht...

    What's Everyone's Opinion of the New Peterson Cobble Pipes?

    I have to admit that I'm a little underwhelmed. They look like a slightly fancier version of their Donegal pipes. The cobble rustication will probably appeal to those who don't like the choppy/typical rustication of Peterson pipes--and the silver band is a nice upgrade from the nickel bands...

    For Those Wanting an H&H Classic Burley Kake Replacement...

    ...Check out Watch City's Waltham Broken Cake. Been smoking on a few ounces of this and it is VERY close to H&H Classic Burley Kake. I'm actually wondering if those were made by the same Sutliff tobaccos because Watch City is currently out of Waltham. They do, however, have plenty of Deluxe...

    I May Have Gone Overboard...

    I finally got around to straightening up and organizing my tobacco cellar (thanks to acquiring an antique chest of drawers) and see that I may have purchased more Esoterica/Germain stuff over the years than I thought. My local Tinder Box would get some in, I'd buy some, repeat...you get the...

    Anybody Else Super Fascinated by Stanwell?

    When my grandfather passed away, he left me a Dunhill Cumberland apple from the 80’s and a Stanwell shape 10 from the late 50’s. Love both pipes, but the Stanwell sent me down a lifelong rabbit hole. So much cool history, carvers associated with the brand, iconic shapes, etc. At this point I...

    ISO: Rattray's Shape 14 (Large Dublin)

    I'm looking for a Rattray's shape 14 to buy and hope someone either knows where some are, or has one I like for sale. There are several Dublin models for Rattray, but I specifically want the shape 14. Bonus if it's one of the Fudge line, sandblasted, or has an interesting stem color.

    What’s Your Favorite Esoterica/Germain’s Blend?

    Realizing that even acquiring this tobacco brand is extremely difficult for some, I’m curious what everyone here likes most from this brand. I admit that I’ve been super lucky in that my local Tinder Box gets most drops from Germain’s, so I’ve tried most everything and have a decent cellar of...

    Any Fans of C&D Tuggle Hall?

    Picked up a couple ounces of this one and not sure yet what to think of it… First time running across a burley, latakia, and perique blend. I like the umami/bitter (in a good way) flavor of it, but it does get a bit harsh if you go at it hard. Sort of reminds me a bit of Gawith’s Exmoor blend...

    Any Podcast Fans? What Are Your Favorites?

    Between the gym and daily driving I listen to a lot of audio books and podcasts. I mostly listen to narrative (horror/mystery) podcasts, but also listen to stuff like Last Podcast on the Left and Bloody Good Horror. As for narrative stuff, current faves are Video Palace, Magnus Archives, and...

    Why Are There So Few Burley Flakes Available?

    It seems like every burley flake made by a reputable producer gets snatched up very quickly, so why aren't there more of them? I'd love to see GL Pease, etc. do interesting things with a burley flake. Maybe someone will do something along the lines of Cobblestone Hiking, Solani aged burley...

    2025 C&D The Beast Release Date - April 1

    C&D just posted on their Instagram that The Beast will be dropping on April 1 at 6pm EST. The post: Something lurks in the shadows, ready to emerge and be smoked in the midnight hours once again. One of the most recent fan-favorite Small Batches to return, The Beast is inspired by Aleister...

    Any Chance That STG Will Bring Clan to the States?

    I really liked Clan tobacco when I was in Europe and just noticed it’s an STG product. Who can we petition/beg to bring it to the States? What other STG blends are Europe only right now?

    Loving the Peterson Shape Releases--Which Shapes Do You Want to Return?

    Just picked up one of the Harp 444's and a sandblasted 309 and loving them quite a lot. Glad to see Peterson reaching back into their old catalog for new releases. I'd really love to see a nice, big Dublin come some time soon. The 120 is just too small for me. I'd love them to do the old...

    Is the New Peterson Foursquare (444) a Permanent Shape?

    SmokingPipes have a selection of a "new" shape by Peterson, the 444 Foursquare (shown below). According to Peterson Pipe Notes, this shape has only been seen in the 1937 catalog (Peterson 400 shape group – Peterson Pipe Notes - https://petersonpipenotes.org/tag/peterson-400-shape-group/) so I'm...

    Peterson Plateau Pipes Just Dropped

    Looks like a fair amount of Rua and Iora plateaus just dropped on SmokingPipes. Not sure if they are anywhere else. There were supposed to be Supreme's, too, but either they sold before they posted them online or they went ultra quick.

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    So it appears that HU tobacco blends are set to drop at SmokingPipes, and maybe other sites, this week or next week. Several YouTubers, like Beans, are talking about it and it appears to be true. Anybody here heard about this? What HU blends are we hoping to get?
