    Dad's Little Restoration Assistant

    Earlier today I was sitting in my sofa with some 6000, 8000 and 12000 grit micromesh pads and a stem I was nearly finished with. My almost-2yo girl came into the living room after her nap and promptly relieved me of my things, then she toddled off to the kitchen following her mother (who's never...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (June 2018)

    Some Magnum Opus in the first "proper pipe" I bought from P&C, a Stanwell Brushed Black 32 Bulldog. Sure, It's 86ºF here, but it's in honor of Mr. Ouellette.

    Get Well Soon: Russ Ouellette

    Saddened by the news and hopeful for a speedy recovery. All our best wishes and admiration, Russ. Get well soon.

    P&C has Esoterica

    Well, as Mr. John Germain famously said (and I edit for length): And as for us who are faffing about not getting any Esoterica:

    P&C has Esoterica

    I don't think the reason for adding it to the cart was to keep someone else from buying the tins. I blew my June TAD budget on FVF, and it's not the first time something becomes available days after I've already placed an order. I understand the feeling of seeing something you really like or...

    New Pipe Smoker from Peru

    I let it air out on some paper towel for longer periods of time and just be patient. I've read of people that prep their tobacco for the rest of the day early in the morning and come to it later. I've done that to some success, but right now I'm smoking some Luxury Bullseye Flake that's...

    New Pipe Smoker from Peru

    ¡Bienvenido! Lots of very nice, interesting and knowledgeable people here. This place is a must for any begginer pipe smoker. I hope you enjoy the advice, the community and keep to the hobby. Also, I feel your pain with the humidity. Where I'm from it also hovers in the high 70s to 80s, which...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (June 2018)

    At 87°F here, I'm enjoying some FVF in a little Gefapip lovat.

    Just Picked Up Nording's Hunter Blend: Labradour

    "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Glad you're enjoying the tin.

    Purchasing Question

    Tobacco is tobacco, and unless it's a godawful, chemical-tasting, humectant soaked, cheap leaf blend, then you could jar it if you don't love it and come back to it months, years later. You could then maybe realize it's the most sublime thing you've ever tasted, be it because it aged well or...

    Epiphany

    If you liked the C&D rendition you might also like the Pipes and Cigars match of Revelation. Sutliff also has a version. I haven't tried the C&D, but the P&C match was really nice.

    Netflix Under Fire for Showing Too Much Smoking

    Historical smoking. That's my term now for when lighting up any McClelland's blend.

    My New Rattray's Bent Pot.

    Sorry to dissapoint, mso489. I as well have a fondness for french made pipes. And yes, I wouldn't imagine your first pipe looked like this tin either. Haha. Although, with all the recent threads about abstract looking pipes and 3D printed ones, I wouldn't be surprised to see a tin shaped pipe by...

    My New Rattray's Bent Pot.

    Well, technically bent can. Oh, perhaps you guys were expecting a pipe. Sorry for the ambiguity. So this arrived today. Either someone at a certain retailer has anger issues or they decided to make a Rattray's pouch prototype and gave up without finishing. The box was fine, the other tin was...
