    Meerschaum Cigar Holder Set of Five : New Coloring Experiment?

    I got these five cigar holders from Calabash Pipe World. I love the quality of the carving and in general the materials. Only sad thing is the case is not fitted and is not photogenic. Since cigar holders will not have cake (Carbon Deposits) it might color even more spectacularly compared to a...

    My Magnificent Magnum Moretti Morta

    I always wanted a Morta pipe to be a part of my collection with the theme “Materials”. Today I added this one, and currently inaugurating it with HU Dockworker. This pipe is made of a huge block, but the chamber size is normal. It has very thick walls. The chamber is conical, and is not...

    Rustica to Add Oomph to Blends

    Yesterday night, I pulled the plug on a couple of pounds of Rustica (Whole leaf from leaf only) to add some oomph to my pipe smoking. With the constraints that I am very lazy and not handy at all, what are some (extremely simple) of the ways I can use it with my existing tobacco?

    Cheap Yet Good - First Impression Of Balandis

    I am a member of Pipe Club Of India and Indian pipe smokers generally find Balandis pipes to be more affordable than the ones we smoke in USA. In solidarity I ordered a couple of Balandis pipes and have been smoking them from some time. Here is a first impression which I posted in that group...

    How GL Pease Source His Tobacco?

    Since Cornell & Diehl manufactures the GL Pease blends…. 1. Does GL Pease source from his own suppliers and send them to C&D Warehouse to be blended? In other words the base tobacco in C&D and GL Pease blends may be different. OR 2. GL Pease sends the ratio and C&D blends it from its own...

    Cigars In Niagara, Ontario Canada

    Planning to visit Niagara, Ontario Canada this long weekend. I normally do not get any personal time in a family trip, but I am hoping I can get an hour for myself and get a few cigars. 1. I found the following shop which is highly rated in Google/Yelp. Anyone has any personal experience with...

    Coloring Progress Over Time/No of Bowls in one Meerschaum Pipe

    Since I have been smoking this Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard exclusively for the last three weeks, I thought this would be a fantastic case study to track the progress over time and number of bowls. I will try to post one picture every week, which would mean one picture every 15 bowls...

    What is More Common for Stems?

    I always assumed that for most pipes the stem is a single piece. Pipes where the tenon is a separate piece and glued to the stem is more of an oddity / characteristic of a cheaper pipe. Now I am not so sure. Most of my stems are black so it is difficult to tell, but for my pipes with colored...

    Finally A Translucent Meerschaum

    I wanted a translucent meerschaum since I heard about it last year. They are not offered for sale often, and when they do they tend to get sold fast. I was also looking for one final meerschaum in my collection with a generous bowl, classical form, open draw and lightweight. The following pipe...

    Debate : Fine White Ash

    Some swear by fine white ash. Others say that fine white ash a myth. I have been getting fine white ash quite consistently when I look at the pipe. However, when I dump the bowl, mixed with the dottle, it no longer looks white. So at the end of the bowl, I took two pictures (Before and after...

    Sunday Fun: Which Book Is This Paragraph From ?

    To be honest this is an extremely hard question, and you don’t have to answer (Although there is a major hint in the paragraphs) I was excited though to see these paragraphs from a modern Classic written many years ago, which I missed reading in the youth, so I am getting acquired now. In case...

    Footlong Scottie Piersel Pencil Shank Commission

    I wanted to buy a Scottie Piersel pipe for quite some time. I think she is one of the most talented carvers working today. However, it was quite hard to get hold of one: Every time one popped up for sale, it was already gone before I could look at it. So one Friday, two weeks back I contacted...

    Yesterday we went for a day trip to Lake George. One of the places we visited is Fort William Henry- It is a replica of a British fort from the 18th century, which was a strategically important point of control between New York and New France. As with most of my day trips, I did not get an...

    Some of you wanted to know, my first smoke in this pipe. I mentioned Lakeland tobacco and I was not joking. The first smoke is Gawith Hoggarth and Company Dark Flake Aromatic which is one of my most favorite tobacco. This pipe will be dedicated to Dark Flake Aromatic, Dark Flake Unscented, 1792...
