Some New Tobaccos I'm Trying...
I just made an order to Cigars & Pipes. In addition to pipe cleaners and a new pipe tool, (having lost the previous one, much to my disappointment), I've decided to try some new tobaccos. I've ordered Frog Morton Cellar, Dunhill Nightcap, Dunhill Royal Yacht, H&H's Signature House of Lords, and...- frank13

Leaving The Rat Race
So....... There's a city boy who decides he's going to move way out in the middle of Montana to get away from the rat race. Several months go by, and he's starting to feel a bit lonely.

Plastic Bowl Insert??
I'm a little confused... I was at my local B&M the other day, and saw a rack of pipes. I examined them, and each of them had a plastic insert in the bowl. This comes out, right? What purpose does this serve, in a new pipe?- frank13

Preparing Tobacco
I've heard some things here and there, about drying tobacco, rubbing out tobacco, etc. If I have a tin of very moist aro, how do I go about preparing it to get the best flavor? If I have a tin of Latakia-based tobacco, how do I, likewise, go about preparing it for the best flavor? (Pardon if...- frank13

Four New Dr. Grabow Pipes and Case
Gotta' love eBay! Four brand new Dr. Grabow estate pipes that I scored today. Even with shipping, it averages out to $9/pipe. Three of them are called Starfires and one of them is called a Tuxedo. I don't know if these were part of a store display, or a salesman's case, but without further ado... -
Vintage Marxman Pipe
I've just come into possession of a vintage Marxman pipe. I won't have pictures of it for a few days, because my cell phone is on the fritz, but it's "matched grain," the ferule is 12K gold, and it is a billiard, as far as I can tell. The very interesting (to me) part of it, is after pulling the... -
Public Perception/Comments
Forgive me if this topic has already been beaten to death... I'm new to exclusively smoking a pipe, and yesterday evening, I was outside of a restaurant having a post-dinner smoke. I was smoking the last of my tin of Villiger's 1888 Mid-Day. A man and his wife were coming out of the restaurant...- frank13
