    Fishy New Brebbia?

    I have heard lots of good things about Brebbia and I FINALLY found one that caught my eye. Just a simple apple pipe. It got here today from Italy. However, there are few things I find odd. 1) There is Brebbia's logo on the stem but no stampings on the briar. All my pipes have some form of...

    Irish Oak - Have I hit the Jackpot or Mold?

    Hello all, hope you all are doing well. Mold still confuses me, so please bear with me. When I opened a year-old Peterson Irish Oak, I have found some strands with white spots/specks. The one on the left is definitely plume. It looks more like sugar. But the one on the right with few...

    Peterson - Stain inside the Stummel?

    Hi! Hope you all are doing well. I have heard a lot about "notorious" Peterson stain, however, I had to get a Peterson. I just love that iconic Peterson rustication. I got the pipe (Bent Apple 03) and the chamber doesn't look bad to me. Just couple of pink specks. I disassembled the pipe and...

    Yellow/Beige Ring in the Chamber

    Hello gents and ladies. Hope you are all doing well. What blend did you smoke at the end of the day? I ended my day with smoking American Patriot in Stanwell Brushed Black. Such a lovely blend with pleasant aroma and satisfying taste. :puffy: I have noticed after cleaning that the chamber has...

    Chip In The Bottom of The Bowl

    Hello gents and ladies! Hope you are all doing well in 2017. :D I got a new estate pipe. Do you think this chip/dent in the side and center of bottom of the bowl will cause a problem in the future? Just wanted to make sure before smoking it...

    Inspecting new Peterson - What to look for?

    Hello ladies and gents! hope you all are doing well in cold weather. For me, PAD is getting worse and worse. Because holiday season is on its way, I can resolve any inner voice that persuades me not to get a pipe. "Kudos to you for working hard and get a good grade on that hard exam! Let me...

    Does Every Corn Cob Pipe Smoke Good?

    Hello ladies and gents! I am a big fan of corn cob pipe. Affordable but great smokes! I have couple of them. Unfortunately, it seems like there are some pipes that are not "meant" to smoke well? What I mean by that is, I have a Legend and a Country Gentleman. They do not seem to deliver clean...

    New Chacom Bulldog - with a concern

    Hello gents and ladies! I got new Chacom yesterday which looks absolutely beautiful. However, it seems like the it was drilled high as it is a bent pipe, so the pipe cleaner hits the wood right below the hole. I think I tried majority of suggestions-like backing off a bit and twist, having a...

    New Briar Pipe - No taste?

    Hello! I bought two pipes, one Savinelli and one Stanwell. Those are beautiful pipes. I was smoking Capstan Original (Blue) in new Stanwell. Without hesitation, it delivered the fruitiness, cool (minty?), hay flavors. And I enjoyed smoking it. On the other hand, I could not seem to taste any...

    Hello ladies and gents, hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I just opened Dunhill Flake, which was in the jar for last couple months (about 3~4 months...) I could not wait til another few more months :D But when I took one out, I saw some white stuff, which reminded me of plume...

    Hello gents, hope you are having a great evening! :-) After hearing about many positive reviews on 320KS shape, I wanted to give it a try. I got the package and jeez... this shape is beautiful! Since I have heard that any blend smokes well in this shape, I was really excited to smoke in this...

    Storing The Pipe After Smoking?

    Hello gents! :D I was wondering how/where should I store the pipe after smoking it? Should I put it on the pipe stand in my room (open area) until it rests as much as it wants? Or is it okay to put the pipe in the pipe bag and put it away? I have heard of an analogy somewhere that putting...

    Rubbing alcohol and the bowl

    Hello! I was smoking my new "cleaned and sanitized" estate pipe. (or that is what the seller has said) After I smoked, I was shocked to find out how much gunk this pipe had. I had rubbing alcohol (91%) and kept on cleaning until the cleaner went out clean. But I was wondering do you put pipe...

    Pipe smelling like ashtray

    Hello I smoked a pipe. And cleaned it afterwards. However the bowl smells like ashtray, which is hard for me to be fond of yet. And some people have told me to wait for couple of days to see the pipe smelling more like the last tobacco I smoked. I am aware of the fact that the ashtray-like...

    No Missouri Meerschaum sticker on the bottom of the corn cob pipe?

    Hi When I directly ordered the corn cob pipes from Missouri Meerschaum, the pipes had little stickers on the bottom. I bought what is supposed to be "MM's Old Country Gentleman" from a local smoke shop. But it does not have a sticker. Instead it just has a stamp, in bold, black letters, that...

    Hiding the pipes in devoted Christian household?

    Hello gents, Here is the problem... I am going to stay with my parents in Korea few weeks later. Currently, I am living with my brother and sister, and they do not mind the fact that I smoke as much as my parents would. I am sure that my parents will kill me if they found the pipe smoker side...

    "Unsmoked" Briar :: The Better Taste?

    Hello, I saw my friend smoking pipe and he introduced me to the pipe smoking. He has such a generous heart and gave me one of his Briar pipe. That's how I got started in March though I really got started smoking in May. I did not understand why people would smoke a pipe. I smoked again few...
