    KBV River Of Deceit

    I was looking fwd to trying this straight Va which is compared to Esotericas Brighton and Cardiff. And althoyh I've never tried those particular blends I've tried quite a few and don't see where the comparison to Esoterica comes from.. This reminds me of an aro like capt. Black or more...

    Dunhill back in business?!

    I came accross some three year matured on CI (P&C)'s auction site, bid on them but was thinking the tin looked a lil bit different. Here's the description: Back in business!  Just a short ten years ago, Dunhill Three Year Matured ruled the roosts of the aromatic crowd. Unfortunately, it went...

    Beech Wood - Stanwell or Otherwise

    So amidst an acute PAD attack I picked up a few of these Stanwell beechwood pipes. After the PAD dust settled I decided to sell the beechwoods only to find zero interest in them I wondered if anyone has tried smoking a beechwood pipe and had anything to say about it good or bad. Wondering if I...

    Briarmeer wood tamper?

    I've seen these on auction sites, with no info. After searching online and in the forums have found nothing about them. Anyone know of/have one? Are they real briar? Any info would be appreciated.

    9mm filter fit

    For those that enjoy a 9mm filter there's an issue I'd like to present for consideration. I've noticed that in some of my pipes the filter fits well and makes a nice seal whereas others fit loose and allow a fair amount of smoke to pass unfiltered. I know this due to the very easy draw and...

    Amphora Original Blend - New vs. Old Versions

    Amphora seems to score high with many, including 4 stars from Jim and Pipestud, however that's for the older blend, which I never tried. I recently got a pouch and found it to be bland an not not like anything particular, also the pouch note has an unpleasant aroma to me, similar to that of...

    Help with Stuck Stem

    Hello Sunday Pipers, I recently aquired an odd Meershaum pipe that looks like it may be a hobby block with crude sorta Easter Island type face. My first issue with it is the (seemingly poor quality) stem is stuck in the mortise like it's glued, whether it is or not idk. I wondered if there...

    Daughters and Ryan bulk blends

    I tried Picayune and it's not bad, I kinda like it. Want to try mixing some into carter hall. Anyway, can anyone recommend any of the other bulk blends as being particular worth trying? I may just get than ounce of each but not sure. It looks like Jim rated them all at three stars so it's...

    Clenching Style

    For those who clench, always or sometimes, do you clench tight and keep the button and mouthpiece straight or at a right angle, or do you hook the button on your teeth and let it dangle? Do stem materials, shape, size and weight determine clenchability? Or do you refrain from clenching altogether?

    Good Va/per

    I love escudo but I also try to avoid buying tins and stick to bulk as much as possible, due to budget constraints mostly. So I wondered if anyone's found a bulk alternative to it. The coins are cool but if it's a loose blend I would be open if it came close. I've tried other vapers and none...

    Pembroke

    Having never tried any Esoterica blends, since only Pembroke is left, is it well advised to try this one as my first? I was hoping for Penzance or Margate. And are they really that much better than nightcap or star or the east? Or dear and departed old frog Morton?

    Lux. Navy Flake (P.S.)

    One of my favorites so I decided to dedicate one of my old favorite pipes, a thick walled free hand and that got me thinking. Not too long ago I was surprised to find there's a light topping applied. So seeing if that's why I like it so much. I'm not really an aro smoker... anymore.. So...

    Cobb Question

    I think I'm burning up my cobbs since I started not letting cake build up. I thought cake was forming on the upper regions of the chamber wall however I now believe I am burning away the lower portion. It widens and tastes like burnt stuff. I was thinking about using honey inside to build a...

    ST/Dunhill Tobacco Tomfoolery

    Has anyone else noticed that the entire Dunhill tobacco line including the bulk blends are back in stock at P&C? Meanwhile many of the match blends are sold out. I don't know where the claim of Dunhill tobacco being discontinued came from, but I never saw anything from Scandanavian Tobacco and...

    Drying Tobacco

    When drying tobacco in the microwave does it leave behind any odor inside the microwave or in the surrounding area? Someone once mentioned putting in a glass of water to have something for it to push against, anyone try that? Lastly what do you put it on? Paper plate, ceramic, paper towel...

    Old Dominion Corn Cob Question

    I was on the fence about trying one of these cobs for a long time but after receiving the Chesapeake model and the annual NY Pipe club bbq I was no longer on the fence. I thought I would miss the modern stem but not so much. The bamboo stem fits perfectly in between my crooked teeth. Anyway...

    Stanwell Italian Made Pipes

    Stanwell is one brand I've wanted to try for a long time so I finally grabbed two in an auction. Unsmoked new ones. So I decided to read up more about them, after the fact as usual and was surprised to find that they are no longer made in Denmark and since 2010 made in Italy. I love my...

    Early Morning Blend bulk Alternatives

    Now I know EMP is an ireplacable staple of many pipe smokers tobacco rotations. With that said, in light of recent events, does anyone have any suggestions for a good bulk alternative to EMP. There are some tin blends like C&D Good Morning which I want to try but I'm specifically looking for a...
