    FS: Various Tobacco Blends in the Eurozone (5-18-25)

    Ive been cleaning out my closet. These blends are open but fresh. Ive been narrowing down the ones I really l like and these are taking up space. I will ship anywhere in the Eurozone as a personal pacakage. Of course there are no customs forms required between EU countries. Prices in Euros...

    FS: 2 Dupont Large Ligne 1 Pipe Lighters (4/26/25)

    Both of these are fit with a pipe nozzel. Both are in great working order. They have no dents issues with top alignment. They are used so show some signs of use. The gold one looks great but when you look close you can tell it spent some time in someones pocket with change but all the...

    Why Do New Pipes Smoke Hot?

    Ok, I may be nuts (probably). On one hand it doesnt matter but Im curious: Every new pipe I get smokes hot the first round and gets cooler as it breaks in...even the second smoke is noticably cooler when it comes to the touch on the outside of the pipe. I know how to manage it but Im curious...

    Smokers Palate Anyone?

    I’m off tobacco for a week. Somehow I got smokers palate. The roof of my mouth is inflamed and irritated but no sores. I guess its time to heal. Luckily I dont feel withdrawal but I miss the act and flavor of smoking. Anyone else have this issue and an estimate on how long to abstain? I’m...

    FS: Reduced for Quick Sale: Dupont Ligne 1 Large BR Lighter in Silver (3/20/25)

    This is a silver plate model. It works great. There are a few flaws and the price reflect this. I tried to get them in the photos but the pattern hides them well. The front side with the wheel is great. The back has 2 small pings and a small ripple. It only shows at the right angle. Seals...

    FS: 2 Unsmoked Pipes 9mm Rovera (Ardor) and Behr (3/6/25)

    Ive been on the fence about these and didnt fire them up. They are smaller pipes and lightweight. Theses ship From France. Both will take a 9mm filter if desired. I have some other pipes listed here: FS Pipes: Ascorti, Caminetto, Radice, Barling, Il Ceppo etc.. (2/8/2025) :: Pipes &...

    Gladora Presse Canoe Latakia Flake 40 Impressions

    This is not a real review but Im trying this blend and had my first taste of it. Its an unusual blend. On top of that Im not Jim so I dont have the words to really describe this one well so forgive the shortcommings. I thought Id write something since there is so little info out there. Here...

    FS: Dupont Ligne 1 & Dunhill Pewter Pipe Stand (2/16/25)

    Thisis a silver plate Large Ligne 1. The ligher has new seals. It works great. There are a few signs of use but this pattern hides them very well. It also has a pipe nozzel installed. I went on a LAD spree and Ive a few too many Duponts. This has no monograms. These work well with good...

    FS: Prices Reduced: Ascorti, Caminetto, Radice, Barling, Il Ceppo etc.. (2/8/2025)

    Too many pipes. All of these are in great shape and good pipes. I just have too many and these are not often used. All pipes ship from France. I will ship most places but costs are high outside of Europe. It may be worth it if you want more than one. I have a few more but this is what I...

    Any New Year's Resolutions?

    I dont often do them but my goal is more exercise. Im 60 and I move around like an old man. No reason other than being out of shape after a long surgery recovery a year ago. Im not trying to get buff or anything major. Just toned so I dont hurt after lifting and working on projects. Maybe I...

    The Best of What's Left

    This is kind of a take off from @telescopes thread about surviving the shrinking world of pipe tobacco. Lets talk about something more proactive. What is the good stuff that remains? Once STG wrecks the line what will you turn to? There are still good blends and makers. We know the bad...

    Tasting Tobacco Exponentially

    Im not sure what has happened. Maybe Im smoking a little cooler but not too much. The past few days some of my smokes have been absolute flavor bombs. Not in a bad way, in a good way. It started with GLP Quiet nights. I had not smoked it for a week. I lit it up and WOW. It was almost like...

    Questions on Virginia Blends

    Maybe Im a lost cause on blends that are mostly straight Virginias. I found OGS underwhelming, I have some aged PVF. Its nice on occasion but I seem to never reach for it. I tried HU Haymaker...again, pleasant but not exciting. Given the newest tobacco company shut downs Im not going to mess...

    Others had tried these and for 12 bucks from ali express I figured I couldnt be hurt too badly. I started this tread for anyone interested and I will add to it over time. I have a real Old Boy that I decided to order but its not here yet. Today the lighter functions properly. If it continues...

    Quiet Nights vs HU Balkan Passion

    I hope to hear from @JimInks I can get Quiet Nights but its double what I pay for everything else in the EU. Ive tried a number of HU lat blends and Im wondering if Balkan Passion is close to this blend. It has the same components but thats never the whole story. If I have to pay I will pay...
