    Does Anyone Layer Anymore?

    It's probably obvious that I don't really read most of the threads on this forum so frankly, I don't know if anyone on here does layer tobacco in their pipes like I do a lot, but I've been layering tobacco for decades when I don't want all of one thing in a larger pipe. To be sure, to those...

    This Is Why

    This is why it is so dang hard for me to pull the trigger on one of the expensive pipes when you can get something like this Savinelli handmade estate pipe (from SP) for $85...I just bought it...don't care about Carmel Pipe Shop, who they are or what they are and never will, it's just a nice...

    Always Say Something...

    Just read this article in my local paper's website and it seems to have had a good outcome...so far anyway. About 15 years ago I was in a similar situation at a gas station at night; a man was slapping around a woman so I called the police but didn't get directly involved until he pulled a club...

    Something We Should Remember About 2020

    This parody from The Babylon Bee may not fit everyone's experience of 2020, especially if you fell seriously ill, but for the rest of us lucky enough to avoid it as best we could, it's something we should all remember that 2020 may have sucked, but there were worse times for sure in the past...

    The Umteenth Review Of MB's Vanilla Roll Cake

    Okay, for those less inclined to read a lengthy review of a new blend, here is my review after smoking four bowls of it. Full disclosure: I primarily smoke straight blends, e.g., Caroline Red Flake, Crumble Kake Red, Burley Flake #2, etc., but I like to change things up sometimes. To do this I...

    Carter Hall Replacement Question

    I'm making an order from Smoking Pipes large enough to get free shipping and was hoping to get a few pouches of Carter Hall. Every once in a while I get an urge to smoke some, but SP seems to be out of it. Does anyone know of a GOOD replacement for Carter Hall? It doesn't have to be an OTC, but...

    Deal For Cob Smokers

    Just thought I'd give a head's up to those interested. Missouri Meerschaum has a "Christmas Gift Set 2020" for sale that includes a nice finished cob with acrylic bit (I own two of the bent ones and they smoke really well) and a MM monogram tobacco pouch for $48.99. This is a pretty good deal...

    Question Concerning Claudio Cavicchi Pipes

    I've been thinking about purchasing a few Claudio Cavicchi pipes--CCCC grade clear/honey blonde finish all of them. That said, to anyone that actually owns one, have you ever had any 'issues' with them? Any at all? Problems with the finish, problems with the draught hole, problems with the...

    Second Shot At Space Launch

    Remember that the second shot at the Space X launch will be tomorrow (Saturday) at 3:22 pm, with the third possible shot at it on Sunday. However, the weather report right now actually looks worse than it was on Wednesday with about a 50% chance of thunderstorms during that time of day. On the...

    New Rossi Pipes Versus The Old Ones

    I mostly own Savinelli's, but purchased a Rossi a while back just to see what they were like since they were also 6mm filtered. I was disappointed with the purchase for two reasons, I couldn't pass a pipe cleaner through the stem because it was too narrow and the mortise/shank face warped out on...

    How Long Will It Take to Sell This Pipe

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Here is a pipe that has been on SP's Italian Estate pipe section for about a week now...I've seen novelty pipes like this sell quickly, or take a long time. Today is May 2nd...how long will it take to sell this pipe? I say it will sell the week...

    Favorite Arms Manufacturer

    I know this topic may not be for everyone, but handguns are just flying 'off the shelves' so to speak with all these stay at home orders. My wife and I are big handgun enthusiasts and Smith and Wesson enthusiasts in particular--we don't have any long guns and I would like to keep this topic...
