    Pu-Erh Tea & Pipes/Cigars?

    Just wondering if anyone enjoys drinking Pu-erh tea while smoking a pipe and/or a cigar? I have 4 Pu-erh's dating back to 2001. For those that don't know about Pu-erh tea, it's a fermented Chinese tea that ages just like tobacco. The older the tea the better it tastes and the more expensive it is.

    Loose Churchwarden Stem

    Hi, I received my Vauen Auenland Hugg churchwarden pipe the other day and I've had a few bowls with it. I find the fit of the stem to be very loose when the pipe is cold and when it heats up it's nice and tight. Does anyone else have this problem with similar pipes or am I just lucky? Cheers...

    Hobbit / LOTR pipes

    Hi, I'm looking around for some hobbit/lotr pipes. I know Vauen makes some, are there any others / any better pipes out there? Looking forward to your suggestions :) Thanks, Michael.

    Broken Meer Stem

    Ok so that didn't last long. I could feel a small wiggle with my new meer and stem (it's not a problem with the meer or threaded insert) so after my first bowl I went to pull the stem out to have a look and clean it and this happened..... I've tried to pull out the broken part from the stem but...

    A little PAD

    So I picked up my first meer the other day and I thought why not grab some more briars at the same time. I've never smoked a pipe with filters in them so I grabbed these two to see how it goes. I've heard good things about Vauen pipes & I'm keen to see how the meerschaum lined pipe goes. Must...
