    Peterson Dublin Edition Pipes

    Anyone know anything about this line? I bought a pipe a few years ago which is exactly like the one shown in the photo. It looks very similar, indeed identical, to the Donegal Rocky rusticated pipes. I have a Peterson Donegal Rocky 264 which has the same style and color of rustication. It's a...

    RIP - Gary Rossington

    Just saw where Gary Rossington passed away yesterday. As an old time southern rocker, I'm sad to see him go. Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of my all time favorite bands. I was lucky to see them last year when they played a 50th anniversary concert at the Ryman here in Nashville. You could tell he was in...

    Conical Bowl Question

    Ok forum members, this old dog is ready to learn something new, or get some new ideas. I have a question regarding conical bowled pipes. The ones that taper down towards the bottom with the draft hole being located directly in the bottom center of the pipe. I have a few of these pipes in my...

    A Wonderful Article

    Attached is a link to a nice read. Kind of describes what pipe smoking means to some of us. https://shootingsportsman.com/pipe-smoking-outdoor-writers/

    This has likely been posted before but it's a very enjoyable read discussing the origins of flake tobacco and pipe smoking in general. FLAKE TOBACCO IN THE WHIRL OF HISTORY By Georg Jensen Product specialist Mac Baren Tobacco Company A/S When and where the first flake tobacco was produced is...

    Newest Meerschaum

    Just purchased this from Meerschaum Market. My second purchase from them. Excellent service. Should take delivery later this week.

    Tell Me about Sutliff Match Victorian

    Just ordered a pound of this. The price is ridiculous. From the tidbits I've been able to pick up around here, a lot of folks seem to like it and consider it a good value for the money. For those of you who like this or have tried it, what are your thoughts?

    RoadHouse

    I wanted to pay homage to one of the greatest films ever produced in the 20th century. If you haven't yet seen this movie, you are in for a real treat. I was kind of bummed out that more Oscar nominations were not generated by some of the timeless performances featured in this film. Attached is...

    MacBaren Royal Twist

    I saw this advertised on the site this morning and jumped over to SmokingPipes and picked up 5 tins. The description makes this sound like something that is right in my wheel house. For those of you who have tried this, what are your thoughts and impressions? There's not a ton of info available...

    Bayou Morning

    As I sit here relaxing after yet another satisfying bowl of Bayou Morning, I thought I would offer a few observations for why I enjoy this blend. I have heard some say that C & D blends lack refinement. That may very well be so. I myself lack refinement and perhaps I enjoy the same...

    C&D Ropes and Plugs

    No. C&D does not produce any ropes or plugs that I am aware of. I just wish that they did. I would be interested to see what Jeremy could come up with. I enjoy this tobacco medium and wish that an American blender would produce them. Just my musings on this quiet Saturday morning.

    New IMP Incoming

    The one pipe I have been missing in my collection is a decent meerschaum. So, I pulled the trigger on this meerschaum pipe from IMP ordered from Meerschaum Market. I wanted to give a shout out to Burak. He was very helpful in answering all my questions and made this a very pleasant experience. I...

    In Need of a New Stem

    Hello All. I purchased a Savinelli 601 churchwarden pipe a couple of years ago. At first it was fun to smoke and and was a nice change of pace. However, over time, I found that a churchwarden was not a pipe that I would reach for very often. I find them to be a bit unwieldy and as such, it does...

    How Many Still Have Their First Pipe?

    As I was digging around in my miscellaneous pipe drawer yesterday, I happened upon a forgotten gem. It was an old Tiberio basket pipe that I purchased during my first semester in college. I was the ripe old age of 17 and even then, something about the lure of pipe smoking just called to me. I...

    J.M. Boswell Pipes

    I just wanted to see what folks think about the size of J.M. Boswell's jumbo pipes. Let me preface my comments by saying that I absolutely love the Boswell pipe that I currently own. In 2003 I purchased a Boswell saddle bit Billiard with black rusticated bowl, almost a nose warmer and it has...

    Hello All

    I wanted to say hello. I hail from the Middle TN area and have been smoking pipes for a touch over 30 years. I have been following this forum for sometime and thought I would finally join in. Perhaps I may be able to add something of value to your discussions. As my handle implies, I love pipes...
