    Check Your Tin Before You Dig In

    Did the blood and finger detritus add to the flavor or not? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Ouch. My Esoterica Cardiff had a nice soft golden foil bag (neener neener 😂) that didn’t hurt a bit

    Is Ryan Alden a Forum Member?

    I have a new old stock meer that I haven’t smoked but just hate the stem. I’ve seen such beautiful stems that he has made on various posts and I’d love to have him make me something fun! Any contact info that you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

    Peterson Mark Twain 1981 Anomaly

    I rather like the notion that someone tried a stamp on an otherwise fine pipe but the powers that be didn’t fancy it and that you have a unique test case. It certainly could be the case, right? I have a hard time imagining someone binning a nice pipe that would certainly be enjoyed by a Pete...

    My experience is about the same duration as yours, including the forum experience. I didn’t notice much difference for the first twenty years because I only had six pipes and they all smoked great. Only after I acquired a few dozen did I really notice a difference in smoking qualities and...

    Why do Pipes Taste Different?

    I have occasionally had a pipe that for some completely unknown reason seems to absolutely make a certain blend seem magical and consistently taste better than any other pipe with that same blend. No idea, I just go with it. It’s happened several times so I guess those pipes are “dedicated” to...
