Overripe Fruit
Interesting how many different answers come up. Personally anything heavy with Virginia gives me a stewed fruit/figs/wine type smell while Latakia heavy gives me a campfire or old leather book smell. Just the other day I tried to show my brother McClelland's Wilderness and all I could get from...- beehive

My First Order From SPC (Pics and questions)
Andy the little form taped to the box said $32 duty, $14 gst and $9.95 for "handling". Guess you pay for them to break it :lol: In the end I still come out ahead of local prices in Ontario. shaintiques that's quite the record of good service. Even my usual favorite vendors for other things...- beehive

Fingernail Tamping
Agreed that trying to use a tamper with a dog pulling you around is awful. I like to use my finger as I'm less likely to accidentally crush the tobacco down as my dog jerks the leash. If I'm sitting around sure a tampers great but anywhere outside it's begging to be lost. Never burned myself and...- beehive

My First Order From SPC (Pics and questions)
You guys are right, great service from what seem to be great people. I was also interested to learn that the shipping for one small item like this pipe is only $1.80. Usually to get something to Canada I pay an average of $20-$45 even on smaller lighter orders. Makes me wonder how they're able...- beehive

Beverage of Choice
Definitely a dark roast coffee, black with a hint of sugar or if I want to sleep a tea, something like earl grey. Other than that just water if anything. I find most drinks are too fizzy/sugary/whatever and don't go well with a smoke. Though the one day I took a sip of some Dr. Pepper and was...- beehive

My First Order From SPC (Pics and questions)
Received an email that they're sending a replacement right away. Absolutely wonderful service, that's how you earn a life-long customer! Thank you for helping me out old bear. I'm usually the guy that orders a coffee with two sugars, get two creams instead and drink it anyways without complaint...- beehive

grey wood colored pipes?
This is about the most grey I've seen, could always replace the stem since you're avoiding yellowish color. I too like the idea of a grey pipe, I much prefer the neutral colors over the red-ish pipes I usually see... -
My First Order From SPC (Pics and questions)
I felt bad wanting to mention it to the vendor as it was quite clear it was the customs agents fault and not the carelessness of Smoking Pipes. Interesting that it was never labeled "damaged" only "opened" unless it happened after thanks to how it went back into the box. A replacement would be...- beehive

My First Order From SPC (Pics and questions)
Hey everyone. So I finally placed an order online to get some blends I wouldn't normally find around my area. The order was inspired by the "McClelland Syrian has run out" posts. Having never tried Syrian I told myself I'd rather try it, love it and have it disappear than to have never smoked it...- beehive

Discovered A New Rum Infused Beer Today.
It was J.P. Wiser's Hopped, I guess it's not really beer mixed in it's just flavored with hops. From their website: Beer and whisky often go hand in hand. Now, the taste can just go in one hand with J.P. Wiser’s Hopped: a distinctive blend of J.P. Wiser’s whisky and hops for a rich, dark ale...- beehive

Discovered A New Rum Infused Beer Today.
That sounds very interesting, I wonder if anything like that is available around here. I've seen the whiskey infused with beer but was not a fan. Rum in ale would surely be more up my alley.- beehive

Yello-Bole Briar?
Thank you, that's good to know. Something about this Yello-Bole was appealing to me. Not that I would buy this specific pipe as it would be almost $70 after shipping and it would need some tlc and a band for the cracked shank, it just made me wonder if it could be legitimately briar. For... -
Yello-Bole Briar?
Quick question. I know Yello-bole uses that synthetic brylon material but the more I browse around eBay the more I'm seeing Yello-Boles listed as imported briar. Is this just a common mistake because many sellers aren't knowledgeable about pipes in general or was there a point in time where they... -

Other than pipe smoking I like to...
+1 on the bees! So many people I meet are hateful towards them (or even me for being a beekeeper) but there's something therapeutic about working around them. It may be my job but it's definitely not JUST a job. I used to have a hive on my balcony in the city before I ever moved to a farm house...- beehive

Favorite TV Series
That's a shame, I haven't watched The Young Pope yet but I had high expectations. I've heard good things about the show "Pure" has anyone seen it? It was described as Breaking Bad with mennonites. Also I was going to add Smallville to my list. Normally not a fan of super hero shows but for me...- beehive

Your Smoke in Pictures
Took this the other day. Went for an afternoon hike down the gorge on the Niagara River with my dog. Its about a 20 minute walk dropping down about 200ft to the rapids. Listened to the water, enjoyed the company of some geese, had some Amphora in my fathers pipe... Decent winter day over all...- beehive
