    Muttnchop Piper Update

    So glad to hear somebody was able to get in contact and make sure he’s well. I’ve missed his videos very much. Always looked up to him and his expertise about pipes and tobacco.

    Sources for Tobacco Tins

    Good Afternoon / Evening Gents. Wondering where you get your pipe tobacco tins. Not looking for the regular Peterson or C&D tins that are easily found on Smoking Pipes.com. I’ve wanted to acquire some of the rarer winter blends or 2020 specials like Kohlhase & Kopp Winter Time or Rattray’s...

    Show Off Your Barlings Here

    Wow! Thanks for the details Mr. Silver. I had no idea on the meerschaum. I printed this out and am keeping it with the pipes. Learning the history of the pipe is sometimes just as enjoyable as smoking it. Thanks for helping this newbie out. Your expertise is much appreciated. - AJ

    Show Off Your Barlings Here

    Thank you, sir. It’s a fun smoke. I usually prefer briar, but the patina really is beautiful. Someone did a nice job coloring it over time. Wish it was me haha.

    Show Off Your Barlings Here

    Good Evening, Just picked up my first two Barling's for my collection. Could an expert (Mr. Silver haha) help me out by answering a couple of questions? This doesn't concern my pipes, but I'm curious all the same: What does the stamp "TVF" denote? I've scoured the internet searching for an...

    Still Smoking Too Hot. Need Help!

    It’s a Peterson St. Paddy’s 2016 bent Dublin. Nothing too high end, but still a good quality pipe.

    Still Smoking Too Hot. Need Help!

    Gents, In need of help again. I’m making an effort to take less of a draw, and draw less frequently, but my pipe bowl is still getting hot to the touch. I am concerned I’m causing damage to my pipes. Any advice on how to smoke so the bowl doesn’t get too hot? From filling the chamber, to...

    Storing Pipe Tobacco

    Great idea on the aluminum tape. Didn’t think of that for my tins. Thank you, sir!

    Storing Pipe Tobacco

    Hello Gents, Wondering your methods of storing pipe tobacco over a long period of time. I have several opened bags of bulk tobacco, and I like to vary what I smoke. If the tobacco gets too dry, I attempt to bring it back to life with one of those ceramic humidifying coins, but it’s never the...

    Expensive Pipes ~ Should I Smoke Them?

    Excellent answer, thank you sir. Hope you and your son were still able to have a memorable graduation celebration (considering the times we live in)

    Any Good Summer Blend Recommendations?

    Good Afternoon Gents, Looking for a good tobacco blend for summer months. Something not too heavy. I also try to steer clear of a strong tongue bite, but a lot of that has to do with how hot I smoke the bowl and not the tobacco. Not into fruity tobaccos, either. Chocolate, nut, vanilla...

    Expensive Pipes ~ Should I Smoke Them?

    I really like the idea of using my more expensive pipes on special occasions. I smoke cigars every so often, and I try to purchase a nice cigar for New Year’s Eve every year. Makes it a special experience and gives me a little something extra to look forward to when the clock strikes twelve...

    Expensive Pipes ~ Should I Smoke Them?

    Good Afternoon Gents, Going to ask a question that provides me with great angst: for those of you that are collectors, do you smoke ALL of your pipes? Are there some of the higher end pipes you avoid smoking? I'm not a rich man and it took a lot of saving and hard work to purchase my Dunhill...

    Pipe Buffing Wheel

    Agreed. I've learned there's an art to everything, peregrinus. sablebrush had good advice. His presentation of that advice was a little rough around the edges, but the advice was still appreciated and sound. I'm just a beginner with a lot to learn, trying to give a hobby that I love the...

    Pipe Buffing Wheel

    That's an awesome self-made pipe! Great work, BROBS. Could I ask where you sourced your briar and stem? Also, I think I can manage the cutting / drilling / carving, but I have no idea how to go about finishing the pipe. Would you be willing to share the process you used to stain the pipe and...

    Pipe Buffing Wheel

    Thanks, BROBS. Good info there. Maybe somewhere down the road I’ll play with buffing a stem. I was more concerned with the briar, which I think I’ll continue to hand polish. Have you ever tried to make your own pipe from a block of briar? That seems like it could be a fun challenge.

    Pipe Buffing Wheel

    I appreciate your advice, sablebrush. I can stick with hand buffing my pipes with a rag and the Halcyon and Paragon. Just want to make sure I'm keeping my pipes in tip-top shape. Thank you! AJ
