    Most Sought After Unicorns...

    For me it was Esoterica Kingsbridge. Wow, got hooked on that one years ago and now... But have been thinking that perhaps we ought to thank our asian friends who pay outrageous prices for various tobaccos (and pipes): are they helping to keep production alive? Is that flourishing market...

    JJ Fox, London. Tuesday 21November.

    Might you be able to discuss how you wrangled a visit to the factory? I've always wanted to go but wasn't sure how to go about asking/reserving/bribing.

    Why Turkish Meerschaum Pipes Are So Expensive | Business Insider

    Got to go to Istanbul to get the good ones for a good price. Also...kebap.

    Saint-Claude lately?

    Anyone been there lately, the past year or so? Just wondering if it is worth the effort to get there. That is, is looks like a lovely village in beautiful mountains but, more importantly, pipes stuff?

    Tobacco Recipe Books

    I once saw John David's recipe book from his shop, something the original owners has started and kept. Is that the sort of thing you are thinking about? A compelling idea but surely the issue with any older tobacco blending guides is that most of those tobaccos used are gone/changed. Sad.

    Recommendations for Pipe Shops in Paris?

    I thought that Tabac à la Civette was poncey and over-rated. Hands down the place to go is Pipe du Nord. It was taken over a few years ago by Marie and she is engaged with pipes and the pipe community. Shop is very nice and has a good vibe. There is a smoking area upstairs but I think you...

    Famous Smoker

    This has been popping up on fb, but not for pipe reasons. Thought it might be of interest here. "148th birthday to Charles Stewart Mott, brilliant industrialist and generous philanthropist."

    Pipe Tobacco Consolidation and Conseqences

    I'm wondering about tiny "artisan" tobacco growing. Bit like those crazy hippies down the road that started making and bottling their own wine but it isn't quite legal but no one cares b/c they are not trying to sell it anywhere but their farm. So, groups of meandering pipe smokers hear about...

    Chicago Pipe Show Update

    I'm curious about one aspect of the show. What is the Swap and Smoke and how is that different than the Exhibition Halls? What happens at the Swap and Smoke?

    IPSD PTSD?

    Did anyone else miss out on IPSD? Do you now get PTSD or, like me, did you overindulge during IPSD and IMO get PTSD PDQ?

    Proper Pipe Club etiquette.

    I do think there is something to be said for awareness of the B&M in which the club may be meeting. The local here is small and it is a sort of politeness to make a small purchase, maybe a tin. As one member said, "I figure the price of a tin pays for my seat in the room and the a/c and heat"...

    C.S. Lewis & His Pipes.

    Yep, you get to go everywhere. I actually slept, on one of the program trips, in Lewis' room. Sadly, the Foundation changed up the programs (they are like a week seminar about Lewis) and the guests no longer reside at the Kilns but go there after overnighting in a nearby dormitory (!)...

    C.S. Lewis & His Pipes.

    How did I miss this thread??? My member photo features me sitting in...anyone recognize it? That is the parlor in Lewis' house outside of Oxford, The Kilns! Tried to mimic one of the snaps of Lewis. Here is another: Sadly, none of the stuff in that room, which includes a desk and some pipes...

    Peterson St Patrick's Day 2023 Pipes at SP?

    Uhhhhhhmmmmmm. Got mine yesterday. So, first, small print matters: one does NOT get the very cool tweed sock with the rusticated, only the numbered editions. Meh. And it wasn't even one of the nice leather Peterson socks but the thin and cheap ones. Okay, whatever. I like the pipe. It's...

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    And...Christmas arrived today, pour moi! Unexpected shipment from P&C and contained Kringle Flake, HH Pure Virginian, a bonus oz of a G&H Dark Birds Eye, and a Missouri Meerschaum. Wow, amazing. Feeling that Christmas spirit. Well, I am in gifts but not in photography. Anyway, thanks Chad...
