    Did CaneRodPiper Get Nuked?

    I typically join in on his Friday night live streams but noticed he wasn’t streaming tonight and all of his videos up until 11 months ago have been removed. Am I missing something?

    Did Thanksgiving Day Sell Out Already?

    I checked yesterday the moment I woke up and saw that there was no option to "add to cart". At first I thought it was a bug so I checked later in the day, still no option, then finally before bed and no option. This evening I checked one last time and there was still no option to add to cart...

    What Am I Missing With Brothers In Arms?

    Just got my smoking pipes order in for Per Jensen new legacy series. I ordered several tins of brothers and arms and it’s good but not what I was expecting. From the reviews I read, many were touting it as an ODF replacement or having a rich DFK presence but honestly all I’m getting from it is...

    What Is With Petersons Using P-Lips For All Their New Releases?

    Can't imagine its cheaper and they don't seem to be that popular. I sure as hell don't like them. Wanted to pick up a Rua but they're all P-Lips. Miss my fishtail Petersons

    What Is the Future of Pipesmoking for Younger Generations?

    Being in my very late 20's, this is a question that many of us young pipe smokers anxiously wonder: What is the future of pipe smoking for us? I know many of you have had long fruitful lives of smoking a pipe but what does the veteran pipe smoking community think the future of pipe tobacco will...

    How Do Yanik Figural Pipes Smoke?

    There’s a particular figural piece I’ve been eyeing from Yanik and while there is no doubt his craftsmanship is unrivaled, how do his figural pipes actually smoke?

    Confusion on St. Bruno Ready Rubbed

    I thought that STG would continue producing St. Bruno Flake but not ready rubbed. I was talking to a friend who said they would keep producing both and upon doing some research, I can’t seem to find a clear answer. Is SBRR going to continue being produced or just the flake?

    I Think I’m Finally Throwing in the Towel with Virginias

    I was a VA lover for many years but three years ago I suddenly lost my taste for VA. I remember one evening I was enjoying a delicious bowl of Scottish flake. The next afternoon on lunch I had another bowl of SF but it tasted terrible, like tar and burning plastic. Nothing changed either...

    Flavor Intensifying Throughout the Bowl?

    Am I the only one who feels the bowl gets more flavorful as it goes on? I’ve been struggling with tasting my tobacco lately but as I am trying to smoke more to retrain my palate, I’m noticing that the first 1/8-1/4 of the bowl tastes like hot air but as I go on the flavor builds more and I...

    The Biggest Revelation I’ve Ever Had That Changed Pipe Smoking For Me Forever

    I’ve been smoking for quite a while but I had a revelation recently that changed the game of smoking. Normally, I’d smoke with a tight mouth and tongue: the smoke would really on ever tough the tip/top of my tongue which never really delivered much flavor for me for blends that were Virginia...

    Third Tin Of Regents Flake With Mold Issues

    This is really unfortunate. This is the third tin of my favorite tobacco that has been riddled with mold. I first discovered this issue back in the Fall and was noticed by a good friend of mine who smokes a lot of RF as well. A batch in November (August production date) had a bad mold...

    Help fixing a cracked meer shank

    I pushed a little too hard trying to get the tenon into the shank the other day and noticed that it cracked a bit. I’ve heard about some people using epoxy but what other methods can I take to repair this?

    Packing Shag Cut

    Like I mentioned, I am really enjoy Dark Bird's Eye but I haven't quite figured out how to pack shag. Since it tangles and clumps together, I can't quite tap and pack the way I would ribbon cut/flake tobacco. What I am doing now is gently balling it up and stuffing it into the pipe but I...

    Well, I Think I Found My One and Only Codger Blend

    Though not a codger blend itself, G.H. Dark Birds Eye is my new favorite. I have been smoking it for about a month while rotating through all of my other blends and it has consistently been the only blend I have been wanting to smoke since. I just bough two 500g bags of it for cellaring... I...

    Peterson Flake: My Palate or Truly Terrible?

    I've been working through some Peterson Flake that I cellared back in 2019 hoping to bring out some delicious flavor. While I have always struggled with Virginia's, since I quit snus, my taste for them has been slowly coming back. Peterson Flake on the other hand, especially aged, tastes like...

    Are Falcons Worth It In 2024?

    They’re honestly quite affordable ranging from $50-70 but I have hear complaints of the plastic stems over the historically vulcanite stems. Are they worth it (I’m thinking of a meer bowl)?

    Recommendations for Blends Similar to Three Nuns

    Not willing to pay the money for Three Nuns anymore that is, IF, I can find it in stock anywhere. HU Directors Cut was the closest I have ever come to finding a 1:1 match but that is also quite pricey and difficult to find since the dropshippers swipe it out from under my nose every time it...

    Any active athletes here?

    Whether its long distance running, long distance cycling, competitive swimming, competitive weightlifting, etc. are there any fellow athlete pipe smokers in here? Is there anything in your discipline that has carried over into pipe smoking?

    Does Anyone Else Have Bad Smokes?

    Some nights I’ll light up a bow and from the char light down to ash, it will be terrible. It could be a blend that, regularly, I enjoy and smoke often but for whatever reason is a hot, ashy, nasty bowl. Am I the only one who experiences this?

    Advice on Building Up the Cellar

    Seeing the horror that is the loss of Mac Baren and Sutliff, I am deciding to start getting serious about my cellar. I've crunched our monthly numbers and found that I can put about $150 aside each month for an order. I have compiled a list of my top blends that I need in my cellar, not ones I...
