    Need a Good Shag Suggestion

    Been on a small pipe shag kick lately but all my local B+M has is Drum tobacco, and while Drum is a nice treat from time to time I need some suggestions on some other good shag blends. Had a good shag lately? 😁

    A Question On Materials

    I want to start it off with the statement that I am not trying to start a debate on "which is better" or "why this is better then that". I've been a member on here and spoken to enough pipe smokers to know everyone has their opinions and experiences. This is more putting the question out there...

    Pipe Donations

    I know there was an outfit that took pipe donations and cleaned them up and sent them to troops serving over seas but does anyone know the name? I have about 20 pipes I don't use and would rather donate them then deal with the bother of selling them. Any input would be welcome.

    A Forgotten Pleasure Remembered

    Being Canadian I never encounter many cob smokers up here, they just are not that popular here in Saskatchewan. It is a very rare sight to encounter a fellow pipe smoker and I have never come across one smoking a cob but every now and then I look up on the wall of my local B+M and see the...

    Does Pipe Shape Dictate Smoking Style?

    Been a long time since I made a post but here goes nothing........ Do you find that how you smoke varies from shape to shape? I find I seem to smoke faster and hotter with my stubby cuttys and devils then I do a bent egg or OomPaul styles. I will say that my cuttys and devils are my "work pipes"...

    C&D Chenet's Cake

    Pick up a tin at my local B&M and its only my second crumble cake. The first was C&D Blockade Runner. I should have dried it out a little more but took a chuck, crumbled it up and loading a thin wall Chacom Dublin for the drive home. Took a little to get it to stay lit (little to moist) but once...

    Pipe Tobacco VS. Hot Sauce??

    Recently while trying to train my palette to enjoy the same spicy foods my wife enjoys I've found that I really enjoy putting Frank's Red Hot on just about everything (no pun intended) but I've found that it really make me susceptible to tongue bite with my beloved Virginias. Anyone else find a...

    Christmas Tobacco?

    Do you have a favorite Christmas tobacco? I always find myself reaching for the Ennerdale this time of year. Watching those old english Christmas movies I always feel a strong english blend is suited for it. What is your go-to Christmas smoke?

    New Plug Pipe?

    I picked up this old Savinelli "Kings Cross" estate yesterday from my B+M. It's a small group 1 I'm guessing and tipping the scales at 25gm. Perfect I think for smoking plugs and ropes.

    New Pipe For Christmas???

    Anyone else get a new pipe for Christmas? I got a great full bent Kriswell Danish Clipper with some great grain to it. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow. Merry Christmas to all and the best to all in the new year.

    I'm Probably Going To Be Beaten Up For This.....

    I was at the local B+M today and there was a guy there buying a pouch of Drum and I asked if he rolled his own. He replied that he smoked it in a smaller pipe and that there was no difference between Drum or Bali-shag and a finer shag cut Virginia pipe tobacco. Has anyone tried this or can...

    A Man Cave Is Born

    The wife and I bought a new house this week and I am incredibly excited that my new garage has a 8x24' heated and enclosed shop in the front area. I have already began fabricating in my head the best layout of the new man cave and what sort of things it will need. Beer fridge, comfy chairs, big...

    Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    A hearty and happy Thanksgiving weekend to my fellow Canadians and a Happy Thanksgiving to our fellow pipers to the south, and around the world for that matter, as well..... even though the Yanks celebtrate it on the wrong day. Cheer and God bless.

    Dodging Snipers

    Got my fingers crossed on a couple of flea bay bids. I'm the current bid leader on two different meers and hoping I don't get sniped on at least one of them.

    B+M Score

    Hit up a B+M while I was in Calgary this week and in a back corner of the cigar room found a couple of tins of McClelland Christmas Cheer 2012. Needless to say I bought both tins, also grabbed a tin of Three Nuns as well.

    Black Irish Twist Vs. Brown Bogie

    I've tried brown bogie before and while it had a nice kick to it, it also had a deep thick taste to it that I really enjoyed. Today I tried black Irish twist and was expecting something similar but couldn't find it. The black had almost a burning smell as apposed to a "roasting " smell I...

    Growing Meer Collection

    Lately it seems that I have moved my smoking exclusively to meerschaums. The collection just keeps growing. The Pete will be getting a new stem this week.

    Enjoying Latakia?

    I'll be honest and say that I have a really hard time finding enjoyment in blends containing Latakia. It seems that when I try it all I can taste is smoke. Not tobacco smoke but the taste of campfire smoke and nothing else. No Virginias, no Perique, no other taste but campfire smoke. The blends...

    Meerschaum Coloring "Button"?

    I was reading an article about how years ago smokers put small coins or silver buttons in the bottom of the pipe to aid in coloring and when I got my new poker I decided to give it a try. I had a lone philtpad stone that I used for ten or fifteen bowls but then it crumbled away on me and my B+M...
