    Frog Morton’s Cellar Question

    Hi! I’ve been away from the forum for a couple of years! Glad to be back. I understand that McClelland is no more, which renders their pricing higher than retail (not that I can find any). Can you give me any guidance on how much 100g tins of Frog Morton’s Cellar (2016) could be obtained for -...

    Updates on New Regulations

    Hey there! I've been away from the forums and generally from the news for quite a while now. Just puffing away :-). I'm sure there are a ton of threads about this already but for some reason I couldn't find anything recent. Are we still on for a significant number of blends to disappear soon...

    4noggins shipping

    Greetings Pipers! Its been a while :-)... Miss you all. Just curious about 4noggins shipping to Canada. My last order was shipped on the 30th and was in my mail box yesterday (the 2nd). For the past few years it used to take on average 2 weeks. Is this a fortunate one off event of expediency or...

    The Brotherhood of pipe smokers

    I had the pleasure of visiting shikano53 2 nights ago in his "Man Garage". Fate had it that business takes me 20 kms away from where he lives (which is about 2000 kms away from where I live!). As usual, the pattern of pipe smokers' generosity, depth of character, and just overall goodness...

    Hot smoking pipe tips

    I have this gorgeous 4th generation pipe but it tends to smoke hot. Any suggestions what I can do to coax good flavour out of it? Hot air is difficult to taste :-).

    Samuel Gawith FVF water content!

    This is my second SG blend and I can't help but notice how much water is in there. Why are these products like that and what would be an average dry time? I know FVF has a huge following so there must be a way to make it smokable :-)

    Airing a pipe to dry

    Would it be a bad idea to put a pipe, bowl facing downward, on an air vent to make it dry faster? If so why :-)?

    How does it happen?

    I'm not expecting to get a definitive answer but just looking for informed/experienced speculation. Been smoking a pipe for about 2 years now. I noticed overtime that I taste and detect tobaccos better. I find that I can now easily detect the main notes characteristic of every tobacco family and...

    The TAD Strikes again!

    I wasn't planning on buying a pipe yesterday but somehow I did.

    13 year old Dominican Glory

    I found a tine of 13 year old Dominican Glory at my local B&M so I picked it up out of curiosity. I have heard good things about Dominican Glory Maduro and was under the impression that its the same tobacco and that the name change is a marketing issue. Upon coming home I realized they are not...

    Key Largo

    I just popped a tin of Key Largo for a change of pace. First time. I think I'm gonna like this one a lot. The Red Virginias are coming along sweet and interplay nicely with the hint of the deep earthy (almost exotic) cigar leaf. The Latakia is lurking in the background giving this tobacco depth...

    Life in a nutshell

    I've been noticing that pipe smokers tend to be contemplative. Something we seriously lack in contemporary society because we're so busy and distracted. This made me think (after being inspired by another member here @aldecaker) to start this thread. So here's my question. If you were to sum up...

    Pipe smokers reputation

    I have been puffing away for about 1.5 years - all alone. The only company I got was virtual - which is here on this forum. I've felt that it takes a certain type of character to smoke a pipe as I dug deeper. I noticed that this hobby requires a patient demeanour and a contemplative mind. When...

    Apparently, size does not matter!

    I was buying a pipe a couple of days ago from one of our fine local shops. As I was browsing, a small Lorenzetti pipe grabbed my attention. My first impression was, oh look at this miniature pipe! It'll probably make for nice decor.... This thing is so small such that I can probably attach it to...

    JackKnife Plug

    I opened my first tin of JKP about a week ago and I have been smoking nothing but JKP since. This is such a powerful concoction I'm not sure what words to use to describe it. Its got satisfaction written all over it for me. Having said all of that, I think I've now settled on where my palette is...

    Giving up - A tale of 2 pipes

    I have 2 pipes that I'm just about to give up on (picture below). The Brigham is a beauty but it smokes everything hot ( I tried to pace differently nothing is working) After smoking in it I usually end with a bite. The Comoy is another story. Everything tastes harsh in that pipe its really...

    What are you queuing to try?

    I just counted the number of tins I have queued up for trying (new blends). These are tins I TAD bough. Blends that I read about here or on tobaccoreviews. I have 40 tins waiting to be tried!!! Its too late now to type them all here :) but I was wondering if this is normal and thought maybe I...

    Dating a Dunhill Flake Tin

    Is there any information on this tin that could date it? I've been looking around for dating Dunhill tins but couldn't find anything solid.

    A straight, flavored, or at least sweetened burley

    In Ask G.L. Please from May 2011 (I think it was the first). Greg gives advice to someone to try tobaccos from a broad range of categories to get a feel for the world of pipe tobaccos. Among these categories he mentions "A straight, flavored, or at least sweetened burley". I've tried Solani Aged...

    Smokingpipes.com has a package of Cornell & Diehl's Cellar Series containing all five from the first batch of production (Bourbon Bleu, Chenet's Cake, Joie De Vivre, Oak Alley, and Old Grove). I've heard a lot of good things about these blends so I'm looking forward to trying them all at a...
