    Germains

    Ok so someone told me this was rare to find, and well, I'm seeing that it is indeed rare to find but does anyone know where I can get some? I haven't seen it in stock anywhere....is it possible to purchase from overseas? Is it really THAT good or is it just hype because it's rare?

    Dagner pipes?

    I've only seen one thread about these, but haven't seen these talked about much. Are they not liked by the pipe community? Can anyone tell me anything about them?

    Tobacco Flavor/Profile Guide?

    Hi all I've scoured this forum for an answer but I wanted to know if there is a guide to all the tobacco types and subtypes and what they usually taste like? In a detailed fashion. I have a very good palate for picking up nuances in flavor but I've always found tobacco to be the most difficult...

    Why Such High Cost on Some Pipes?

    I understand that there are artisan pipes and such, but why do so many of the pipe shops cater to pipes in the 350+ range....I mean, I've ever seen pipes for 5,000 dollars and I just cannot justify that cost for a pipe. Mainly, I don't make the kind of money to justify that purchase, but if I...

    Smoking a 9mm pipe without a filter?

    So, I have a rather odd/noob question. A few of the pipes I have I realized are 9mm pipes, however, I've never smoked them with a 9mm filter. My cob and my Rattray's pipe are both meant for 9mm filters and I noticed the inlet portion of the stem (that goes into the shank) is much wider than the...

    Aromatics, Toppings, or Non-Aromatics?

    What's the difference? What are some examples of true aromatics? and what does it mean when a tobacco has a "topping" or "casing"? I've seen tobaccos that are finished with a hint of rum, or bourbon/whiskey, and then I've seen tobaccos that have fruit additives. I'm kind of confused and from...

    New Here and Need Help

    Hi everyone! I'm new here but not so new to the pipe smoking world, but I still would consider myself a novice. I've had an issue with pipe smoking that I just can't seem to get. To preface this, I live in South Florida smack-dab between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. We definitely have a lot of...
