    Pipes made from wood other than briar

    Other than meerschaum & cob, all my pipes are briar. I'd be interested in hearing about your experience with pipes made from wood other than briar. One thing I've noticed is that they are less expensive than briar pipes.

    Why is it that...

    Every group seems to develop it's own language? Here in this forum we talk about "PAD" & "TAD", about "room notes" & "cellaring" instead of just writing "I like to buy pipes" "this tobacco smells good" or "I stock up on tobacco" Every forum has a "sticky" with commonly used abbreviations. Is...

    I used to think nothing was better than sex...

    Until I started smoking a pipe. When you want a pipe you just fill it up and go. You don't need to take it to dinner, listen to it complain about it's day, pretend to agree about how wonderful obamacare is or that Hillary would make a great president. When you're done, you don't need to cuddle...

    What was your 1st Pipe Smoking Experience?

    I was introduced to pipe smoking when I was 8. My parents were hosting a party and one of their friends was smoking a Calabash. Everyone was drunk and someone had the bright idea that it would be funny to see me smoke the pipe. After some "raucous encouragement" I agreed. Sergei fired up the...

    Hand carved "Bespoke" Custom Briar Pipe

    I've been smoking & collecting pipes since 1980. I've always wanted my pipes to be more than just a delivery vehicle for tobacco. A pipe should make a statement, have a personal connection for the smoker. That, in my opinion, is the quintessential reason to smoke a pipe. In December of 2013, I...
