    Buying Multiples of the Same Pipe

    Well, not the same shape, but all of my seventeen pipes are E.A. Carey Magic Inch pipes…. Except for one MM cob and one Duncan Hill Aerosphere that I bought from E.A. Carey. My first two Carey’s were $15.00 each in 1964.

    Agreed! BP became my favorite aro blend, between 2018 and 2021. Then I discovered Boswell.

    Molto Dolce

    Propylene glycol (PG) is a colorless, odorless liquid that is often used as a humectant in pipe tobacco. Humectants are substances that help to keep tobacco moist, which can help to prevent it from drying out and becoming harsh. Some people believe that PG can have a sweet taste, while others...

    I always recommend MD for beginners. I've always thought of it as training wheels for the pipe smoker. Also, a must try for people who like smoking a pipe, but dislike the taste of tobacco. You'd be surprised how many of them are out there.

    Who Taught You to Smoke a Pipe?

    Too much non-pipe smoking bloviation and a really hostile atmosphere; folders where it is -- evidently -- OK to post "Daily Reminder: F___ Joe Biden." and hostile comments about minority groups. Personally, I don't want Biden to run again, but I am really put off by the incivility of that...

    Who Taught You to Smoke a Pipe?

    Back in the '60's, we all took up pipe smoking our first year in seminary. The older students taught us that there was a world of tobacco beyond what blends were for sale at the news stand; mostly aromatics and what we today call codger blends. These older Brothers of the Briar introduced us to...

    Codger levels

    Extremist politics, misogyny, homophobia, "every day carry" displays drove me from another pipe forum after years of active participation. When trolls move in, discussion of pipes and pipe smoking can become afterthoughts. On the other hand, there seemed to be a big market for this kind of...

    MARXMAN Pipes, anyone?

    I’m 76. The only pipe my father left me was a bent devil’s head sitter by Marxman. I traded it for a GBD straight grain in the late 1960’s.
