    A Star In The West

    I am going to share this with you as a homespun English blend I really enjoy but I will have to tell you up front it is a little bit unfair because it involves three tobaccos: two are readily available but one is not. However, I will give you enough information that I think that you can either...

    What Is Your Cellar Variety?

    I read a lot of people talking of hundreds of pounds of tobacco stashed away, but I wonder, what variety do you also smoke? Do some people mainly focus on 5 or 10, or do some people keep a hundred different kinds? I currently have about 68 different tobaccos and blends in stock, but of them, I...

    Three Cheers The Coniston Plug!

    Just broke open a can of my first Gawith & Hoggarth Coniston Cut Plug Unscented, and I'm surprised I don't hear more about this stuff! Doesn't anyone smoke this stuff? It is a beautiful, rich, rough cut tobacco with deep, dark brown and black dark fired elements. I fired some up last night in...

This is not like any regular funnel but is very thick walled and has a very wide neck which will pass most...

    The Life Of The Pipe

    Someone recently said that “bowl coatings” were such a hot topic of debate that to not even go there. But here I am, again inexorably drawn back to the topic by teeming contradictions of misunderstand. Now, IMO, you can damn well coat your bowl with whatever you want, so long as it works for...

    A Wonderful Little Idea

    Was sitting out working on my car draining the coolant system and it looked like it would be taking a long while. Not content to leave with many tools laying about, I wondered how I might pass the time? Then I remembered reading of some others here who smoke throughout the day while they work...

    Gourd Calabash Preservation

    Always wanted one of these pipes and now I have two, one pretty well smoked and the other, pristine collector's quality. I have never seen inside these pipes and was a little surprised by what I found! Could not find any posts on these matters so I hope someone here has some input and advice as...
