    Peterson Junior Sandblasted Apple

    I have been admiring these for some time, especially the lovat, but I'm not really a fan of the newer Peterson rustication. The blast on this little apple somehow swayed me away from a lovat. I picked it up from the post office last night, along with a few 2oz bags of bulks. One of those was...

    Wishlist Pipe by Ryan Alden

    Many of you have seen multiple posts by me, bemoaning this little foursquare Musico that was on my SP wishlist, but got sold before I pulled the trigger. Well, @lonestar saw one too. Long story short, he agreed to make a similar pipe for me. Needless to say, it far exceeded expectations in...

    1986 Dunhill County

    Does anyone own a 1986 Dunhill County? That's my birth year, and since finding out the County line was introduced in 86 a year or so ago, I've been curious what they look like. I'm not in the market, but I'd really like to see one. I haven't been able to find photos of an 86 online anywhere...

    US Customs Personal Use Pipe Tobacco

    I am planning a trip to Europe summer of next year, and I will most likely purchase some pipe tobacco wto bring back while I'm there. I am having trouble location the customs info on pipe tobacco. I see cigarettes, Cigars, snuff etc listed, but I can't find the personal use amount listed for...

    Aromatics for Tobacco Lovers

    I'm looking for a few aromatics that, contain quality leaf, have toppings that accentuate and compliment the quality tobacco flavor, but still have a nice room note that will please non smokers. I am a fan of the few C&D aromatics I have tried, but my experience is limited to their seasonal...

    Back in Black?

    After a long break from latakia blends (about 2 years), which was preceded by a latakia binge (about 3-4 years), i just finished a bowl a Star of the East Flake and I could actually taste the constituent tobaccos and not have them completely overwhelmed by the black leaf. The weather here has...

    Notebooks

    I've been using a notebook for the past few months. Just a pocket moleskine for now. I want to get a full sized journal and start recording some thoughts and things I'd like to pass on the the kids one day. I've been looking at the Lechtturm 1917 and it seems like a good one. What's everyone...

    Drying Tobacco- One Method

    Edited: For caps and clarification. Here's a quick guide on drying your tobacco. Please note that this is the method I use to get tobacco dried to my preference. You can experiment with different levels of moisture and find out what works best for you. Spread the tobacco out in a single layer...

    Red Raparee

    How would y'all describe the latakia content in Red Raparee? I don't really enjoy a lot of latakia anymore, but I really like County Squire Bag End. The way the Virginia and Orientals take the lead and the latakia is way in the background just lending a nice compliment of smoke and earth. From...

    Charatan Tobacco

    Just got an email about these dropping at SP. I can't help but notice these all seem to be 1:1 copies of Dunhill blends. The big 3 (Emp, 965, & Nightcap) all mirrored respectively in First Bowl, No. 10 Mixture, and Eventide. Then there's Flake and Rolls. Anyone else noticed...

    Military Mount Commission

    Does anyone know of any artisan pipe makers who do military mounts? A paneled Musico billiard with army mount that got away, has been haunting me. I keep watching the new drops and haven't seen anything close come around for months. I figure another one may never come along that ticks all the...

    Show Us Your Musico's

    I just received my second Musico today. Black Sandblasted Liverpool with Silver Band. Had a bowl of Victorian to break it in. It smokes very well. I have never really considered collecting a certain pipe maker, but this second Musico really has me considering it. Here's the new pipe pictured...

    Ludlow Saylor Wire Company Lovat Clean Up

    For background on this pipe, see here. Here are a few before and after shots. Just a simple clean up. First step was to remove the stinger. Used magic eraser followed toothpaste and a scrubber sponge to remove oxidation from the bit. Followed by a soft cloth polish with Decatur No-Ox stem oil...

    Promotional/Advertising Pipe

    I just won this little Lovat on Ebay. It's stamped "Ludlow Saylor Wire Company". The history of the company is really what drew me to this pipe. Having a nice little lovat that could smoke like a champ for $9 is also huge plus. Ludlow Saylor Wire Company was founded in 1875, and they...

    Eltang Basic Vs Nording Compass Vs Eltang Poker

    I'm going to go ahead and create this thread in anticipation of the arrival of an Eltang Basic I just ordered. I figured I will answer the question everyone has, and then answer a question I have, and possibly others. Question 1: How does the Eltang Basic compare to the Nording Compass? I do...

    Foundation by Musico Dealers

    Does anyone know where else you can buy Foundation by Musico pipes besides smokingpipes.com. I can't find anywhere except SP (US and EU) and the storefront in Italy. Any online dealers I'm missing?

    US Customs Regulations Regarding Wood

    Attempted to order a Taylor's Eyewitness Hardwood Barlow from the UK. Tracking went weird and when questioned, customer service sent this reply. First I've heard of anything like this. Has anyone else? I've definitely heard of restrictions on certain species etc. If this is true, does this mean...
