    Sound Off, Lurkers!

    The logic of this thread's existence is making my brain implode. Anyhow, Present!

    A "sweet" English

    I'm surprised John Bull hasn't been mentioned yet. It's relatively sweet, with Black Cavendish, VA, burley and a hint of Latakia mostly for a bit of flavor. Not a lat bomb by any means, but a decent starter English. Relatively cheap as well.

    Mass. Town Weighing Total Tobacco Ban

    I'm just shocked that it isn't Amherst.

    Tracking Down an Old Pipe

    My grandfather had an old Kaywoodie pipe sitting on a table in his den. I'd never seen him smoke it. If it weren't for the old Kentucky Club tins that he stored rubber bands, paper clips, and tacks in I would never have known he'd been a pipe smoker. To me it was always an object of beauty. A...

    Hunting: Jackets, Pipes and a Watch

    If you're going upland game hunting dressed in Tweed, you'll need to drive there in this Landy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDAwPfh_62s I prefer something like this with canvas dungarees

    Pics of Pipers at Play

    Nah, I live in hard hats and ball caps. I just don't have any truck with fedoras and other hipster horseshit.

    Careful, this stuff wrecks finishes.

    I clean my logging boots every Saturday night, generally with saddle soap ( Fiebing's for preference, Kiwi is awful stuff.), but occasionally I'll use lexol when they're extremely dirty. Of course I do this on my porch, puffing away as I go. Well, I managed to get some Lexol on my hand, and when...

    Condor Plug - A Review!

    Has anyone mentioned just how small the package is? The knife is a Buck 110, 3.5 inch blade for comparison. I was floored when my Da handed me it.

    **Weird Ash Chunk**

    I'll get chunks like that out of wet flakes, when folded and stuffed.

    Best Menthol (Roll your own..) Cigarette/Pipe Tobacco discussion

    "Pipe tobacco". Does anyone ever actually smoke these in a pipe? My mother-in-law buys pounds of the Tin Star brand to roll into cigs. Makes my blood boil, as when the Feds start cracking down on shipping pipe tobacco like they did with moist snuff, the blame will be squarely laid at the feet of...

    Condor Plug - A Review!

    My dad just brought me some home from Ireland. I've got it drying out now. Should be interesting.

    Hats on Men and Caps on Pipes

    It's damn near impossible to wear any of these hat styles without looking like a twat, unless you're wearing a suit, or barring that a vest and decent dress trousers. I'll stick to my ball caps or my black straw cowboy hat, unless I'm kilted, then out comes the scally cap or tam. Seriously...

    A Cob Pipe... Really?

    Why own a cob? Because hydraulic fluid ruins the finish on a briar. Because you can't get marine grease off anything for love or money. Because leaving your pipe in the bottom of your tackle box leaves a rubbery ghost that hangs around worse than condor. Because bar oil gets everywhere when...

    First Bowl of LuxNavyFlake by PeterSt.

    I just tried this recently. Pretty good stuff but it tends to go nuclear easily. No tongue bite, just a charred cob.

    Thank you Irish!

    Came home from work today to a package from Gary. In it was a gorgeous Lorenzo 733 and a massive Butz Choquin 1394. Thank you so uch, man. This forum is home to some wonderful people.

    Kool Aid pipe stain. PICS

    I've always felt that Dr. G,s greatest failing was the use of that hideous red-brown stain. Sure, it hides the fills, but it generally looks like hell. Plus the heavy varnish...

    My First "Real" Kaywoodie!

    That's a wicked nice pipe. Good deal.
