    Local Online Auction Has a Lot of Interesting Looking Pipes for Sale.

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Hi Guys, I haven't been around for a while because I kind of lost my interest in pipe smoking. Several of you have helped me in the past and even sent me pipes and tobacco to try. Thank you! Maybe the information I am about to provide may pay...

    Where can I get an empty Zippo case?

    I am a conflicted man..... I bought a Zippo fluid pipe lighter. A couple months later, I bought the Z-pipe butane insert. I put the butane insert into the Zippo case, so now I have a homeless fluid insert. I would like to put the fluid insert back into a case. This way I will have two Zippo...

    Green under the gills

    Minnesota is having quite a heat wave for this time of year. Yesterday, I took advantage of the 50º-plus weather by smoking two different pipes - back to back - with two different tobaccos. In my Peterson, I smoked a full bowl of Triple Play. Following that, I smoked a full bowl of Black Frigate...

    RIP Lt. General Hal Moore

    Some of us remember the story of General Hal Moore as portrayed by Mel Gibson in the movie, "We Were Soldiers." From http://www.militarytimes.com/articles/hal-moore-portrayed-by-actor-mel-gibson-in-we-were-soldiers-dies-at-age-94: "The general is best known for his actions during the Battle...

    Help me decide on a birthday present.

    My brother-in-law lives more than 1000 miles away in Texas. When we get together - about once a year - we sit outside, smoke imported cigars, and solve world problems. Traditionally, we give each other cigars as gifts for birthdays. Now that I have enjoyed my pipe smoking hobby for a while, I...

    ISO: Straight stem nosewarmer

    I hope I am using the correct terminology in my title. I am looking for a short, lightweight pipe with a straight stem. Currently I have a rather large full bent Peterson Kinsale XL-23. I would like to add to my collection a pipe at the other end of the spectrum. Can anyone recommend a nice...

    Northern Pipe Smoking Blues

    Where we live in Minnesota, we are farther north than 2/3rds of Canada's population. It gets cold here. This winter we've already had a blizzard that left us with 20" of snow and four trees across our 800-foot long driveway. It gets so cold here that it will freeze a bottle of Jack Daniels (I...

    Cellaring vs Aging

    Is there a difference between "cellaring" and "aging"? Or, are the terms synonymous? As a newbie, I have assumed that cellaring is akin to stockpiling for the upcoming apocalypse, like one might do with food, water, and ammo. I especially get this perception when I see some of the photos...

    Peterson Kinsale XL-23 and Yenidje Highlander

    Over the past week, I have broken in my new Peterson Kinsale XL-23 with Carter Hall. Just now,I finished my first bowl full of tobacco from a tin - Yenidje Highlander. I am in 7th Heaven! I picked this pipe because of the rather severe angles in the briar and stem. Why? I can easily hook the...

    Help me choose

    As a beginner, I get overwhelmed by the 100s of pipe tobacco choices that are out there. I've read dozens of reviews and it almost seems like most tobaccos get good ratings for one reason or another. So, as a way to help narrow down my choices, I would appreciate finding out a little bit about...

    Aromatic vs Room Note

    I have read several pipe tobacco reviews and am confused over the terms "aromatic" and "room note." Are these two terms describing the same tobacco characteristic or are they different? Is "aromatic" describing the aroma of the fresh tobacco in the pouch or can or is it being used to describe...

    Pipe Filter types and brands

    I am in the throes of researching a new pipe for myself. I see many recommendations to start with a corn cob pipe. I will do that. I assume that I will be graduating to a briar pipe after a while and I have questions regarding filters. It would seem like that use of a filter is a good idea. It...
