    New York pipe stores

    Im going to New York in a few weeks with work. Was going to pop into a pipe store while there and had a look at Nat Shermans site. Seems like they don't do pipes anymore though? Can anyone recommend a good store to go too???

    PAD strikes again

    Picked this up from eBay the other day. It's my first Mario Grandi and I couldn't be happier. Been looking for a sandblast finish pipe for a while now. I wanted a freestyle shape and something that wasn't coloured or stained. When this went up on their site I just had to have it, just don't...

    My first new Peterson

    Just got the pipe I ordered a few days ago. My first new Peterson, an 80's shape Donegal Rocky with Fishtail stem :-) Also ordered a tin of SG's Skiff mixture after hearing good things. When I opened the package the shop also sent me a rather nice Samuel Gawith pin badge (you can see it in the...

    Look what I won :-)

    Entered a competition to win an Invicta pipe and guess what, I won! The pipe arrived today and it's a cracker, got some beautiful grain. Bit smaller than my other pipes but it'll make a perfect quick smoke pipe :)

    Dont you just love it when......

    Your out somewhere new or unfamiliar and you happen to come across a b&m store :-) This happened to me today when flying from Stuttgart airport. Although I've flown from here countless times I'd never been in terminal 2. Due to a delayed flight I took a wander and found a store with about 20-30...

    Peterson Sumertime Blend 2011 - UK

    Just asked a UK distributor when we would be able to get our hands on the Peterson Summertime 2011 tobacco and got a reply that the UK distributors are not importing it :( Think that's a great shame as i wanted to try this blend and also love the tin art too. Guess i'll have to have a look at...

    My 2 new pipes

    Well after being bitten by the Ebay bug i picked up and got a couple of pipes. The first is an English Briar no name. Not the best pipe in the world by any stretch of the imagination with a bit of scorching to the rim but only cost a few quid so am not expecting too much The second is a...

    Pipe ghosting, should i be too worried??

    I'm new to the world of pipe smoking and made a rookie mistake of getting some Clan tobacco as my first foray into pipes. I've got my first order of decent tobacco through today (Vanilla Honeydew, 1Q and 7 seas royal) but am wondering if it's ok to just stick a bowl in my corn cob and smoke it...
