Christopher Besse Bent Dublin Churchwarden
I recently acquired this beauty from Christopher Besse, aka Shikano53. My second Christopher Pipe, and absolutely my favorite pipe since breaking it in. I have a predilection to churchwardens and Dublins (and all variations of), so this pipe was a natural fit. The hearty chamber with generous... -
Christoper Besse Stout Pot Review
I promised a review/discussion on the Stout Pot pipe by Christopher Besse (or as many here know him, @shikano53), after I had time to put it through its paces, and here we are! Now, I hope this doesn't break a rule by sharing this link, but in case anyone wasn't aware of his work... -
Help ID My Newest Acquisition Please
As the thread says, I just got this pipe at an estate sale for a song, but it has no markings. It was in overall good shape, except perhaps the finish may not be what it was. I had some ideas what it might be, but I would like to have a name to put to it, before I buy another bowl or two for it. -
What Of Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug?
I have recently been told that the good people at G,H, & Co. have decided to discontinue my favorite of their fine offerings,the Bosun Cut Plug. I am hoping that someone here could maybe discredit that info, maybe give me some good news...or confirm the loss of a longtime companion (and perhaps...- kibo

Kibo Rides Again (War Horse and
Hail hail gang! It has been some time since I shared an opinionated evaluation here (or anything for that matter. I sort of dropped off the map a while.) When I received my latest P&C order, I had to ease my heartache of 'no more Bosun Cut Plug' with a jaunt in the saddle of War Horse ready-cut...- kibo

Kibo On Drew Estates
Hey all, since my "Kibo On OTCs/Pouches" ongoing thread has been so warmly received, I've decided to take up another review series, this time for the Drew Estate Pipe Tobacco tins.

Latest Acquisition And Experiment (Multiple Images)
I recently got this pipe rack/jar combo with the Medico Cavalier in it when my grandparents stopped at a roadside flea market/antiques place and saw it for $4. They almost threw the pipe away! Glad they did not, it smokes like a prizefighter! The other pics are what happens when a man gets... -
A Flavoring Experiment...Help Welcome
Hey all, so I just noticed that one of my in-laws raided my Skandinavik Full Aroma pouch while I was away for the weekend, didn't seal it properly, and much of the casing is off of it...its a pleasant smoke, but I had an idea mid bowl. The short and skinny is that I'm going to get some Sambvca...- kibo

Kibo On Pouches/OTCS
I've decided to start this review thread partly to share my opinions and experiences with these "drugstore"/OTC blends that I've tried in pouch form, and also to help document for my own benefit, as my memory can be 'touch and go'. As with any review, I admit, there has to be some bias and the...- kibo

What is the strangest post-smoke comment you've received?
As the title asks, what is the strangest comment you've gotten? I just finished off some Troost (first time with it), and I was greeted in the house by the Boss yelling me "You smell like Shake'n'Bake."- kibo

Pipes of horn?
Hey all, I was wondering, does anyone have experience with pipes made of horn, buffalo or other? The reason I ask, I saw this gorgeous pipe, a little 5" jobby, copper bowl, and I asked about it, the lady said it's carved out of horn, polished, sealed and finished, with a copper bowl. I'm... -
Looking for a specific pipe shape/style
Hey guys, this might seem a bit silly, but I'm keeping a weather eye out for a new pipe, and I have interest in a particular shape/style, but can't seem to find it (outside of a screen-replica, but I don't want the exact one, if that makes sense?). I'm looking for a churchwarden bent stem pipe... -
Tinder Box Blends and their trade names (Norse Gold?)
I have been trying to find out what the trade name is for Tinder Box's Norse Gold, as I no longer have a TB within a 4 hour one way drive, and my local B&M owner said they'll carry it if I can find it. My search has given way to many of the TB blends and their parent names, and I thought I would...- kibo
