Anyone Else Snag Some C&D Beast?
I didn't really even care if it was a limited release or whatever, just thought it sounded interesting. I've never tried anything like it before, but I do love strong, hard hitting tobacco. Definitely if it has a good aroma as well, then I'll pick it up. So two tins for me, one to pop, one to...- carolinachurchwarden

Anyone Else Snag Some C&D Beast?
If not, I was able to find some over at tobaccopipes.com. I saw the email notification popped at midnight, broke my ankle getting to smokingpipes only to find it gone already. Looks like something right up my alley, so I bought 2 tins. Seems very strong with a strong taste and great aroma, all...- carolinachurchwarden

Got Me A Hurricane Pipe
Not sure. All I have to go off for now are pictures. Just bought it today. Should have it this week or next and I'll know once I get it in my hands. If it doesn't, I'm sure there will be something I can do to make it pivot better.- carolinachurchwarden

Got Me A Hurricane Pipe
I have wanted myself one of these just for the novelty factor, but think one would be nice to add to my collection. On a whim, I searched the bay today and found a beautiful version that had been "rarely smoked". So I snatched it up. Not sure how rare the hurricane standard pipe is, but it...- carolinachurchwarden

Looking For Nostalgic Room Note
As others have mentioned, Half & Half, Sir Walter Raleigh and Carter Hall might be the best aromas for creating this sensation and they're cheap and usually easily located at shops, if they carry any pipe tobacco. I actually just enjoy the break from other tobaccos with some Carter Hall or Sir...- carolinachurchwarden

Searching For One Thing, Brought Home A Ropp Vintage Sandblasted 29C
Well, it looks a lot like mine except the shank is a little longer on mine. The draw was a slight bit tighter than I expected, but I was contributing it to a tighter hole in the stem. The bit it a lot smaller than I'm used to, but still very comfortable to clench.- carolinachurchwarden

Searching For One Thing, Brought Home A Ropp Vintage Sandblasted 29C
Oh? Maybe? They shaved him too! No more beard when I woke up on an island surrounded by beautiful women, but then I woke up from that dream and realized it was just Bill and his stupid squeaking parrot and I think Anthony was doing a jig by the water mumbling something about Black Frigate...- carolinachurchwarden

Searching For One Thing, Brought Home A Ropp Vintage Sandblasted 29C
Been on a kick of watching the Robert Downey Jr. flick Sherlock Holmes and in my ever present search for a pipe similar to one of the variety he smokes (believe it's been mostly narrowed to a Dunhill), I keep perusing the virtual shelves of all the usual suspects for one like it. Never fails...- carolinachurchwarden

Trying To Find Something Similar To A Particular Pipe Tobacco In Cigar Form
I was out in my car with the window cracked this morning, smoking a lovely blend called Scotty's Butternut Burley. I love it in the mornings, especially when it's crisp outside. A guy I work with smelled it and asked me about it and I told him what it was. He asked me if they had something...- carolinachurchwarden

What’s Your Favorite English?
I have lots of favorites and can't pick just one. Maltese Falcon Presbyterian Mixture Boswell Northwoods Just to name a few, are some of my favorites. Just depends on what I haven't smoked in a while when I want an English as to which one I go with, but all are fantastic.- carolinachurchwarden

I Decided to Try Maltese Falcon...
I absolutely love the stuff. I bought a small tin last year and gave it a shot when it was available and then it sold out before I could order more. Then I got the opportunity to buy a couple of 8 oz tins and jumped. I love MF and is one of my favorite blends. I smoke it fairly regularly. It's...- carolinachurchwarden

Ever Had A Blend Be Too Strong?
I must admit, I like the stronger things in life. Dark, strong porters and stouts; strong flavored sweet tea, dark roasted coffees and dark, strong and flavorful tobaccos. Every once in a while, depending on how I've eaten, one will set my head to spinning, but I enjoy it when it happens. Puts a...- carolinachurchwarden

How Do I Remove Gooey Cake?
I've let mine dry before, then used my Case knife with the spey blade and angle the back edge so as to scrape the bowl out. It's a little like reaming but I don't really cut into it at all. Mostly I don't keep very much cake in mine, so I do this in my spare time anyway. It leaves just enough...- carolinachurchwarden

Stem removal
The very first time I take a stem loose, I usually twist counter-clockwise just in case it has a threaded stem. Sort of a habit of mine after I broke the shit out of one by twisting too hard clockwise, only to discover the stem was threaded to the stummel...Oh well. After I discover how it...- carolinachurchwarden

Gal From Oklahoma
Not sure about the peaches and cream, but the PS Luxury Twist, Luxury Navy, and Luxury Bullseye Flakes are some of my favorites. I go between them from time to time when I want straight Va and when I want a little something thrown in, like the LBF. They're all good tobaccos. I believe some have...- carolinachurchwarden

Gal From Oklahoma
Welcome, from North Carolina here. If you're looking at the country squire, you're looking in a good place. Their Old Toby from their middle earth collection is mighty fine. I love it and possibly my favorite aro to date. Might I also suggest checking out Boswell's too while you're at it? It's...- carolinachurchwarden

OWL Pipes?
Please let us know how they are. I've spotted them a few times and the thought had crossed my mind to give one a shot as I really liked all the stuff that came with it too. They have a lot of interesting designs and I really liked them, just haven't bought one yet.- carolinachurchwarden
