    Should I superglue my stem back together?

    I was cleaning one of my pipes and accidentally split my pipe stem in half when reinserting it. I believe it's acrylic, not vulcanite. It broke quite cleanly in half, I'm not sure why exactly but I must have put force on the wrong part. I want to try supergluing it back together because the...

    Adenoids Affecting Pipe Smoking?

    Hi there, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but I wanted to run a question past you guys. Would the adenoids (or lack thereof) have an effect on tasting tobacco? I ask because I had mine removed at a young age along with my tonsils and I sometimes find I can't taste things as...

    Effect of Cavendish in Latakia blends?

    I'm currently enjoying some Rattray's 7 Reserve and I'm just wondering about why cavendish has been added to Rattray Scottish blends - specifically Black Malloray, Red Rapparee and so on. I do definitely get some kind of similar experience to full black cavendish aromatics I've smoked in that...

    Pipe Smoking Villain in "The Harder They Come" (1972), Jamaica

    I was just enjoying Jimmy Cliff's movie "The Harder They Come" about a talented reggae artist that turns to crime to make ends meet. In this scene I noticed the evil record company boss guy is smoking a pipe, quite a nice one at that. I just saw it and thought you guys may be interested. For...

    Fire Cured Virginias?

    I'm just trying to smoke the dottle of a bowl of G&H Brown Twist (mostly Brown Irish and Bogey). I heard that the virginias in this rope are actually "fire cured", like Kentucky burley. Has anyone come across this type of Virginia before?

    Nice Aromatic Flake Tobacco?

    Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could give me a recommendation on a good aromatic flake tobacco. I like to smoke Gawith & Hoggarth aromatics (e.g. Exclusiv Black Cherry) when out in public, ideally anything with a nice room note/aroma to the smoke. I heard someone describe those blends as...

    Should I Smoke My Antique Pipes?

    Hi everyone, I'm afraid I've got a bit of a dilemma. I have two stemmed clay pipes in pristine, unsmoked condition from the 1950s, one a Peterson system and the other a kind of calabash shape. I think they're lovely pipes, but together they're worth at least £120 on eBay and will likely...

    Not Getting Tongue Bite Anymore?

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if this is a normal occurrence. When I first started smoking a pipe I smoked some aromatics from America, Denver to be exact. I remember getting terrible tongue bite all the time to the point I needed to drink milk to stop the pain, as with spicy food. On one...

    Craven Ready Rubbed (UK OTC)

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering if people here had any thoughts on Craven Ready Rubbed. It's a UK OTC tobacco, available in a 25g pouch as well as a 50g and seems to have been around a long time. I'm smoking a bowl of it just now in my falcon and I like it thus far, but I'm not sure what it is...

    Memories of Clay Pipes

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had any interesting stories of clay pipe smoking from when they were younger. I saw on a different forum someone remembering pipe smokers when he was a boy in the 1950s in the UK - he remembered working class men smoked short clay pipes (cutties)...

    Brown Irish Twist in a Clay

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone wanted to talk about G&H twist tobacco. I'm just finishing a bowl of it in a clay churchwarden from the Netherlands - no idea how old the pipe is but it seemed older, maybe 10+ years old? I have to say I'm really enjoying smoking twists in my clay pipes. I...

    "Union Flake" - Very Old Tobacco? 1960s?

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me here. As much as I enjoy smoking a pipe I also enjoy studying Scottish language and social history. I was just listening to a recording of an old man from the Scottish island of Tiree named Hector Kennedy (1897-1983). It's a 1973 interview...
