An observation...
I'm entering my fifth year of pipe smoking. I don't smoke nearly as much as I'd like to, but I'm getting there. I've kinda landed on being an Burley dude, and I'm happy about it. One thing I've noticed in the last couple months is that the pipes I smoke regularly, which is about half a dozen...- tmcg81

Quintessential Shapes
So, I'm smoking a pipe and one of my favorite pipe smoking activities is looking at pipes on the internet. I started looking at some nice Petersons, and I started wondering: what are the quintessential shapes from the major pipe makers? If someone said, "what does a Peterson pipe look like?"... -
NY/NJ Pipe Show
Does anyone know if this will ever come around again? I was literally driving to the 2020 show when I got a call from a friend that is a sheriff in the same area as the show telling me to stay home because of Covid related issues in the area. I'd love to go to a pipe show, but Vegas and Chicago...- tmcg81

Something For Me to Think About
I've been trying to finish off some half full jars for the last month or so. One of the jars is Peterson Elizabethan. I didn't care for it the first few bowls and then just kinda moved on. I decided to come back to it last week and I've been smoking a bowl of it most days. It's still not my...- tmcg81

Cube Cut/Crumb Cut Tobacco
I ordered a few blends from Watch City Cigars since I dug WC Slices so much. I got Stubb's blend and Original Crumb Cut. I can't figure out what I'm messing up with this. I've been doing a sort of gravity fill with it. When I light it, it seems as if the bowl goes from full to 1/2 full in a...- tmcg81

Deibels Pipe Tobacco
I recently happened upon Diebel's website and saw that they have their own blends of tobacco. When I clicked on a couple, there were no descriptions, not even what kind of blend it was. Does anyone have any recommendations from them?- tmcg81

Chamber Diameter
I'm generally of the mind that it's technique that makes for a pleasant smoke. However, I have noticed that my pipes with a more narrow chamber smoke rubbed out flakes noticeably better than let's say, a big Savinelli bent pot. Do we think that there's anything to this or am I just crazy?- tmcg81

New (to me) Philip Trypis Pipe
Last week, I was browsing smokingpipes.com, not even looking for a new pipe. I was planning on sending in some pipes I dont smoke and maybe getting a new one down the road. I clicked on Misc Estates, and guys, for some reason this pipe called out to me and I couldn't stop thinking about it till...- tmcg81

A Question About Lighters
So, I followed a link from this forum to an ebay sale for a Chinese S T Dupont lighter. Showed up, it's beautiful, and surprisingly heavy. Here's the question... How do I fill it up? I've watched videos, I've filled up plenty of lighters with butane, whether they are cigar lighters or torches. I...- tmcg81

Ghostbusting
I'm not necessarily looking for advice, just thought this was funny... I've got a Kaywoodie Silhouette pipe that I really like. I smoked it a couple times, then got a tin of Crooner and decided that since this was my most Bing Crosby pipe, I would use it to smoke Crooner. I popped the tin, gave...- tmcg81

Clogged Peterson Stem
I've got a Peterson Christmas 2019 pipe that I adore. It's shape 999, the Rhodesian. I smoked it about once a week for a few months, kept it clean as best as I could, and somehow it still got clogged right at the bend in the stem. Any way to fix it on my own? I tried a remedy suggested to me on... -
Greetings From NJ
I'm a relatively new pipe smoker. I smoked a pipe a couple times when I was college, but got seriously into the hobby a little over a year ago. I have had jobs that require a lot of focus, so I find that I'm drawn to hobbies that require that same focus, whether it be bbq, coffee, or pipe...- tmcg81
