    Miskatonic Madness! (and a Ser Jacopo)

    I was going to simply post in the "What Are You Smoking" thread but I've got too much to say, I think, for that post. So just a few days ago I ordered a Ser Jacopo from Smoking Pipes along with a couple of blends I had not tried before. Both are Cornell & Diehl blends. One is Gentleman Caller...

    Inform Me On Watch City Cigar, Ravenwood, And KBV.

    As I was gone from the forums for quite some time, I'm not much aware of Watch City. I can't recall seeing them mentioned much if at all before my hiatus. Also I'm not at all familiar with Ken Byron Ventures or Ravenwood Fine Provisions, and so I could use a refresher on these. Who are they...

    Just A Friendly Reminder. Keep Your Boxes!

    So I found myself cleaning up one of my pipe shelves, which was a terrible hot mess. And since one of my bookshelves was also a terrible hot mess, I cleaned that up as well. There was more junk, and papers, and dust then there were books! Well I ran out of rack space a long time ago and a number...

    Favorite Balkan/English And Why?

    One of the things I've (many of us) learned over the years is when a favorite blend is discontinued, it can be quite difficult to find one that touches on that "wow" factor that made you fall in love with that blend. For me, three blends especially come to mind. Hearth And Home Black House, and...

    320 PAD And New To Me Tad

    The Whiskey 320 arrived. And these Whiskey stems are gorgeous! It came along with two tins of Blackpoint and two tins of Founding Fathers. Both blends are new to me and I'm really looking forward to trying them both. Especially the Blackpoint. My favorite lat blends are no longer in production...

    Savinelli Whiskey 320

    The Savinelli 320. I've a bit to say about the 320, but I'll do my best to keep it short. I remember a number of years ago it seemed that the pipe was all the rage on the forums as well as the Facebook groups. The Savinelli 320 was the best dang smoking pipe on earth... probably outside the...

    The Amazingly Magical Jar Of Everchanging Tobacco

    Many of us have a jar of scraps that didn't make it into the pipe. I tend to fill my pipe over a plate, and what doesn't make it into the chamber I simply dump into a bowl. I currently have two such jars. One labeled Puff'n Stuff has been in existence since I began smoking a pipe in late 2012...

    Hearth & Home Magnum.... What?

    So I was browsing Pipesandcigars and noticed that Hearth & Home Magnum Opus is now called simply Magnum. I was just curious, why the name change? And does anyone here know why?

    St. Patrick's Day Haul

    Oh yes. Another Peterson System blast. This one a System Spigot 307! And three pounds of tasty stuff and another tin of St. Patrick's Day Reserve. And it arrived today on Saint Patrick's Day of all days! Admit it, my friends, you're all green (hehe) with envy!

    Help Me Name This Blend

    Usually I just use blending tobacco when making my own blend, but this idea concerning some of my favorite aromatics popped into my head and it was just too dang good to pass up. So usually I can come up with a cool name, like "Oakenshield" named after Thorin Oakenshield from The Lord Of The...

    Hand Turned Drill Recommendations

    Hey all. I have a few pipes I'd like to open the draft a bit on but don't trust myself with a powered drill. Any good hand turned drills that would do the job well?

    In Praise Of The Spectacular And Amazingly Miraculous Peterson Silver Polishing Cloth!

    These little things are fantastic for polishing silver. I just finished smoking a Silver Spigot B42 in which the silver was in need of a little TLC. No problem, saying how I have a few of these little numbers I keep in a zip lock bag with my pipes stuffs. As you can see in the following...

    A Rare Morning Smoke/Therapy From The Day Before

    I was going to simply post in the "What Are You Smoking" thread but feared I might get a little long winded as I have a bit to say about this smoking session. Let me begin by saying yesterday was my birthday. Now I'm not looking for a bunch of "Happy belated birthday!" However, I'll happily...

    Too Many Open Jars/Tins In Rotation?

    Anyone else have this problem? You open a tin or jar, smoke a couple pipes with that blend, and then you want to change it up a bit with another blend. So you open a second tin and switch between the two for a while. Somehow a third blends enters the fold, and then a fourth. And then more...

    Hearth & Home Confirmed Gone?

    Just wondering if it's confirmed gone under the Sutliff situation, or is it still up in the air? I just realized I didn't have the backup of Black House I thought I did. Will be a sad day indeed when I smoke the last of it. This was one of my first favorite blends, and weirdly enough, my long...

    Tempted... But should I though?

    Who else, concerning lost blends, struggles to decide whether or not to open a tin of of a blend you greatly enjoy even if you have multiple? Help me out folks. Crack one open? Or save for another day? How do you decide? Who else has tins of something you truly love, but hesitate to open because...

    Purple Elephant Fluffbunny!

    Or... The Importance Of Tobacco Blend Names. And Do They Really Matter? The question comes to my mind in part because of the renaming of The Country Squire's Middle Earth blends. They're great blends, but much of what brought them to my attention was specifically because they were inspired by...

    Sweet New Six String!

    I know it's not a pipe, but I know some of you are guitar players and guitar lovers much like myself... and I'm pretty excited about this one.... and I just want to brag a little. I ordered this guitar from Sweetwater, and I'm pretty impressed with their customer service. Not only does your...
