    Your Opinions on Morta

    I have been curious about morta since I first heard about it. I still kinda want one. But my conclusion, from this forum and other articles, is that morta is an itch to scratch but it's not replacing any favorite briars. I haven't seen anyone whose favorite pipe was made from old bogwood. So...

    Bob's Chocolate

    Maaaaan. I just re-upped my Bob's Chocolate which I haven't had in about a year. I really missed the chocolate. I couldn't find it. I smoked slow, I sped it up, I got in the usual pocket. Nothing. I spent about an hour hunting around the burley and virginias (and they say latakia is in the...

    Essential or Not: What's Missing In Your Pipe Gear?

    What's a common item that just never made it to your pipe shelf? I've had a pipe for 20 years, but I have never owned an ashtray, pipe knocker, pipe rack, or pipe stand. Just curious who else has gone years or decades without a part of some "standard" kit.

    I Dropped My Lunting Pipe

    It was bound to happen. I hope it never happens to you. I was out walking the hound and finished my bowl well before the walk ended. And then I did what comes naturally--I just popped my pipe in my back pocket. I thought I might have a little ash or dottle or something left in the pipe, so I...

    My New (To Me) Ser Jacopo Hawkbill

    After looking at this pipe for about a week, I took advantage of smokingpipes estate pipe sale and snatched up this Ser Jacopo! It's a smooth Hawkbill (L2). Despite the shiny pictures online, it came a bit flat and a bit dirty. That's not unexpected, but I spent some time working on it last...

    Show Off Your Fiammata!

    Did you grab one of the Savinelli Luisa Fiammata pipes? Do you have a Castello Fiammata? Ser Jacopo Fiammata? Did you name your cat Fiammata? If so, let's see it!

    Stokkebye's Nougat

    I've been smoking Stokkebye's Nougat for a few weeks now, and uuuuugh it's frustrating. When I get a perfect puff, it's delicious. It's like a good quality tobacco cased in a 3 Musketeers bar. There's a creamy, velvety, nougat taste that just makes the entire session memorable. However, it's...

    My New Savinelli Roma

    I've been looking for a Prince or a Billiard to catch my eye, and I just pulled the trigger on this Savinelli Roma 315! This is my first Prince and my second Savinelli. It fits perfectly in my hand. I love the look of the polished rim on the rusticated surface. I haven't decided on its maiden...

    I'm Getting Addicted To Forever Stems

    I just completed my second Forever Stem. That's a new Country Gentleman sporting a new Dark Orange Ripple long-ass stem, set off by a real silver band 'cause we fancy now. This is fresh off the heels of me doing a side-by-side comparison of 1-Q and CBR. I know this has been debated to death...

    My First Forever Stem!

    I've got the Forever Stem bug. I just popped a nickel band on a new cob and dropped in a new blue swirl stem, and now I'm looking to outfit a new Country Gentleman. As a bonus, I actually like the cheap plastic stem on my featherweight lunting cob, so now I have a spare in case I chew it up.

    The Labeled Cellar

    I pulled out all of my jars from the cellar and it made me happy.

    The Country Squire Fans - Let's Talk

    I've been super excited to try TCS for a little more than a year now. I recently purchased 10 blends from them, and so far, I've been able to try 3. Old Toby, Bag End, and Black Arrow. I still have plenty to go, but I gotta say that I didn't find any of these blends to have anywhere near the...

    The Country Squire Cellar Labels

    I just received my first order from The Country Squire and ordered 2 ounces of their Middle Earth series. I designed cellar labels with a nod to their ink stamp labels, and I am really happy with how they turned out. I thought y'all would enjoy it.

    Greetings and Salutations from Atlanta

    Hello everyone! I have been a member of this community for years but have been on hiatus. I recently re-discovered my pipe, and I am happy to be back. I smoked my first pipe almost two decades ago. Back in those days, with virtually no guidance, my roommate and I would grab a bag of whatever...

    Smokey Joe's in Fife

    Hello Washingtonians, I'm heading to Seattle later this month. I'll be in the Seattle/Bellevue area. I plan a stop in F.K. Kirsten since I'll be local, but I wanted to know from the locals if Smokey Joe's is worth the pilgrimage. If I was there on the Second Wednesday, it would be a no-brainer...
