    What Is So Great About Castellos

    Umm, this is a contentious subject. While the K's do represent pricing, they also translate to size and grain on the smooth pipes, at least in an ambiguous and debatable manner. A k billiard will almost always be small. A KK will be medium-small to medium, depending on the grain and pipe shape...

    Is a Basket Pipe Better than a Cob?

    I would rather a cob than a basket pipe. I have never had a cob smoke bad.

    Do these Tobaccos Represent their Category Enough to Make Judgements?

    As others have intimated, it really depends on what you like and dislike. From your first list, I only think that 7 Seas and the Sun bear represent their genres well enough for me to buy more of them. From your second list, Nightcap is king: I love full English blends. Squadron Leader is...

    My Daughter Chose a Football Team That is NOT My Team

    Got to let your kids find their own way. If you wear your team gear long enough, they may switch sides. .__. I grew up an Oilers fan and switched to the Cowboys when the prior team left. I tried to get into the Texans but they suck so hard because of how the team is run by management. I just...

    Tim West Appreciation Thread

    I just got off the phone with Tim West concerning a few pipes that needed some work. Not only has he been the only pipe repairman I have used whose work is on point, Tim is a Mensch who will always call to give an update. Cudos to him.

    If you're Allowed only one Pipe Shape, What would It Be?

    I would be happy with just billiards. I prefer smaller billiards from the northern-Italian aesthetic, but I also like other French and English designs. The Castello shape 15 is my favorite design.

    Show Off Your Castello Pipes Here!

    I just picked up this rather Danish looking estate Old Antiquari from Smokingpipes. I have never seen this nomenclature before. There is no K markings and there is a V with a big asterisk next to it. Has anyone seen this before? The V could stand for the Agide shop?

    Strong Balkan

    I have never tasted Propylene glycol in any C&D blend. They have the least PG out of any big blender. If you are looking for a big Balkan, try Pease's Charing Cross. It is huge in flavor and super smooth. I am also of fan of Balkan Supreme.

    FDA Denies 55,000 "Vape" Products by Denying Marketing Applications

    I'm vaping Blueberry Lemon E-juice as we speak. Some of us don't have the luxury of being able to smoke a pipe at work. That said, I'm all for the kids. Yada, yada, yada...we will find a way to persevere.

    Meerschaum: The Ultimate Pipe For Trekking

    It can get pretty cold up here in the PNW. On my hike last weekend, it only got up to the 50s midday.
