    Favorite Accessories

    If ya'll don't mind sharing, what are some of your favorite tobacco related accessories? I'm looking to get a leather tray/tobacco mat, but not looking to spend too much. I wouldn't be opposed to wood either and I've seen several make an appearance on the Now Smoking thread. If you can link to...

    Rich Tobaccos

    I will say right off the bat, I'm not looking for aromatics. But what tobacco comes to mind when you think of rich, smooth, oily and satisfying? The kind of satisfying after the perfect meal. You could eat more or even go for something sweet, but in that moment you're content. I've been...

    Morgan - Bones

    I saw some posts about these pipes and they look pretty good for the price and what I've read about them made me take the plunge. The kicker was, I ordered this this past Saturday around 3 PM EST and it arrived today. California to Ohio. That is astounding to me how quick that turnaround was...

    Birth Year Pipe

    I am curious what, if any, guidelines are used when searching for a birth year pipe. I'm sure this varies from person to person. My biggest question is how do you find a pipe for that specific year; are there sites that let you filter out by year? If you have one, was it enough to simply have a...

    How Do You Price Discontinued Tobacco?

    Long of the short, I may have some discontinued tobacco I'd be willing to part with. I've seen one site with listings and prices of items they currently have but haven't found much else to go on. Any advice on who to talk with or references for something like this is appreciated!

    What Shape?

    What shape would you consider this? It is stamped with a 3 and when doing some looking, I found a page that says GBD shape 3 is a "tall bulldog". I am by no means an expert or really even a novice, but I'm not so sure that's a bulldog. Thoughts?

    Warm Weather/Summer Blends

    As the title says, looking for blends people would recommend for summer. I have read that quite a few people tend to smoke lighter and/or aro blends in the summer and put away the English blends. However some others seem to enjoy the English blends as the smokey aspect reminds them of BBQs and...

    Stanwell Royal Briar 88

    I was looking on Ebay and found a Stanwell Royal Briar 88 with a replacement stem. Looks like it was either lightly smoked or already cleaned up. But tbh, I'm still a newcomer to pipes and was curious what anyone knows about this line of pipes. I'd be interested what the original cost was and...

    Brands and Shapes-Why Do You Like Them?

    Hey all, Just wondering what brands and shapes people like and why. Does it help enhance flavor? Is the smoke cooler as a result of shape? Again, relatively new, but for instance is there much that separates Savinelli, Peterson and Stanwell? I mention these three because they seem to be...

    Appreciating the Classics

    So I'm relatively new to pipe smoking, I've mostly tried some B&M blends, but picked up a tin of Plumcake and Erinmore flake. The Plumcake is good, haven't yet tried the Erinmore yet. But I would like to explore classic examples of traditional genres/varieties. So any favorites and suggestions...

    Peterson's Connemara Black and B&M "Mutty"

    Hey guys, Picked up some Connemara black and only smoked two bowls so far. First one was meh, second one seemed a bit better. The cherry for me isn't over powering. But I've been enjoying a B&M blend that's black cav and cut cake Burley and it's quite good. I was thinking of adding a bit of...
