    Penzance - Meh

    So I have finally gotten hold of some Penzance to try. After smoking a pipe for about two years now, I have wanted to try it and I did not want to pay the exorbitant eBay prices so I patiently waited until I could grab a couple ounces for a reasonable price. After smoking three bowls through a...

    SPC Plum Pudding

    Ok, this may sound a bit weird, but I opened my first tine of SPC Plum Pudding and have smoked a few bowls of it, and it tastes very odd to me. It leaves, what I can only describe as, a film on my mouth and tongue while and after smoking that tastes vaguely of some sort of chemical cleaner. It...

    Peterson P-lip Question

    So I've been looking at some of the Peterson pipes on their website, and most of them say they have the peterson-lip stem. I have a few Peterson pipes and they don't have that, and I was wondering if it makes a difference to the way they smoke, or if it's possible to order from them and get it...

    Up or Down?

    So I am looking at building a wall mounted pipe rack to finally get my stash organized, and I have noticed a lot of pipe racks that show the pipes hanging with the stems down, and the usual traditional bowl down with stem up leaning back to rest on a two part stand. Is there really a difference...

    Favorite Tobacco Cut?

    Just curious as to what everyone prefers, or if it's more of a "I'll take what my favorite blend comes in" type of mentality. Shag? Ribbon? Flake? Plug? Rope? Cake? etc... Personally, I am still deciding on my favorite type as this is still fairly new to me, and I am leaning more towards shag...

    Smoking Indoors - Odor Elimination Question

    Ok, so here is my question. My wife is considering letting me smoke in the house, officially only in my study, but I am ok with that, and I was wondering if anyone who also smokes in the house has a recommendation for an odor destroyer, cleanser, remover, whatever that is effective and won't...

    Lucky Find

    So I was in downtown today running errands and decided to stop in at a local B&M that I try to hit occasionally when I am in the area and when I walked in, lo and behold, there were two 8 oz bags of Esoterica Pembroke and And So To Bed, so I snagged them up. My questions is this, since they are...

    Esoterica Question

    So I know Esoterica is blended by a small company, and they use old school equipment and age their baccy for a while. My question is this, does anyone know about how long it usually is between runs that get shipped out? Or is it just completely random and it comes out when it comes out? Just...

    Last of the Tin...

    Question: When you reach the last of the tin, jar, bucket, pouch, whatever you keep your baccy in, and it's not enough for a full bowl, do you ever mi and match and top it off to get a full bowl of something or do you just smoke the half or quarter bowl and move on? I had this dilemma today and...

    Windy Days

    So I was at lunch today at a Chipotle sitting on the patio, and after eating I fired up my pipe for an after lunch relaxation before heading back to teach the unteachable heathens on campus. I noticed that with it being a VERY windy day here in North Texas that not only was the pipe burning...

    Help With an Impossible Task....Maybe?

    Ok, so here's the issue. I inherited some of my grandfathers pipes and associated accoutrements, and one of the things included was a jar of his tobacco. He only smoked one brand, and no one can tell me what it is. My father and uncle can't remember the brand, and I have no tins, bags or labels...

    What Am I Missing?

    Am I missing something? I was looking for birth year pipes on eBay and came across this pipe for $2000.00. Was it hand carved by dwarves and smuggled out of Khazad Dum by an unlucky dwarf who needs gold to settle a family debt of honor?? 1977 Dunhill pipe, ROOT BRIAR 61051,MADE IN England 17...

    Soft Tip Question

    Ok, quick question, soft pipe stem tips, yes or no? I have found that I like to multitask a lot when smoking in the garage and so I tend to clench. Should I invest in a batch of the soft tips to help reduce chatter on the stems and to help keep my jaw from cramping after a long day outside, or...

    Dunhill EMP Equivalent

    Hello! In anticipation of potentially having to find a replacement for this brand, and since I am new to the whole scene so I don't have a large stockpile, what is a good substitute for this? I have found that it smokes well for me any time of day, and as long as I can buy it I will, but just in...

    Newbie Question about specific brands

    Ok, so I have been trolling this forum for a while and a couple of others, and I have noticed that there are a few brands that everyone goes nuts for (generally speaking) and that are always out of stock. For example, Penzance and Exotic Orange. Is there a reason that those two particular brands...

    Identification, no markings

    Ok, I know this will probably be a longshot, but I got a pipe from a friend and he had no clue who the manufacturer was and it has no markings. None. nada. zip. zilch. zero. nothing inside the stem/tenon area, nothing outside anywhere. Doubt it will be possible, but it never hurts to ask. Thanks!

    Need a new stem

    I am looking for a replacement stem for my grandfathers Redonian Junior, Bent....this is a small quick smoker that I inherited and I love it for when I only have about 15 minutes or so to take a quick hit. the tenon cracked and is barely hanging on so I think it's time for a new stem! Any good...

    Help with a Pipe! What Is This???

    Ok, so I am fairly new to pipe smoking after having inherited a few from my grandfather. I just bought a small batch of pipes off eBay and all of them turned out just fine except this one. It has a screw in metal piece (I don’t think it’s a stinger but I could be wrong) and when you put the pipe...
