    🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

    Well, it seems while unboxing a few packages filled with gifts for others, I tripped, fell, stumbled and goofed this one open. Oops. Dang. All jokes aside, wow, what a fantastic treat this year. 330 pipe cleaners, a package of Capt. Black, an 8 ounce box of FVF and a sweet letter to boot. I...

    Fun Morning

    Good news, the pipe just came back from Norwood’s Pipe Repair, looks reinforced with a bit of tubing. All in all cost maybe 40 odd dollars. Back to smoking!

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    How is that blend?

    Fun Morning

    It is a Savinelli Bing’s Favorite, only had it a few weeks but I’ve taken to smoking it and it alone while I’ve had it. I’ve reached out to briarville and a few others about a price quote, hope to hear from them soon.

    Fun Morning

    Thanks all, sorry for a later reply, busy morning. I should note that I currently have no tools at my disposal being in the throes of moving, and at this point would much like recommendations towards a pipe repair service of good repute and reasonable price, thank you.

    Fun Morning

    The long bastard gingerly slipped out of my coat pocket this morning and snapped as easy as anything. Anyone have any ideas on my best course of action? (Other than burying it in the yard.)

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2024?***

    Morning walk with some Jim’s Special Flake. @JimInks, you are a very lucky man to have such a wonderful blend named (or renamed?) after you. Damn damn damn good stuff.

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2024?***

    Walking the dog with a bowl of Ampersand Flake with a bit of leftover Capstan Blue RR for tinder.

    Carolina Red Flake 2024

    Excited to hear what you think, the sugar content doesn’t look too shabby at all this year.

    Carolina Red Flake 2024

    I checked the C&D Instagram and C&D said no perique in this batch.

    Your Favorite Underrated Blend

    Underrated is tough, used to LOVE Brown Clunee, but I think it got messed with. However, while I rarely smoke anything other than VA’s, once in the bluest of moons, I love a good bowl of Captain Earle’s Mystic Blend. Really, really good stuff.

    My Sad Visit to Wild Bills Tobacco

    Just settled in up here in MO, and the amount of “Tobacco” shops is dizzying. I’m half suspecting that the only one worth visiting is Paul’s in Flint, and even then, I don’t know if it’s worth driving for around 4+ hours round-trip to do so.

    Show Us Your Savinelli Pipes!

    A bit commonplace, but a new Bing’s Favourite. Its rustication caught me, I love a good bit of dark, rich contrast, sort of like the Impero line rustication, but brown. I know folks often say they prefer a “Bing”-style pipe to be as close to the original design as possible, but to help do away...

    "Accidentally" Aged Tins - Smoke or Save?

    Honestly, if you are jumping right back in, I’d consider opening any that you want to smoke, same as any tin one would buy. You aren’t gonna spoil anything, the stuff is meant to be enjoyed, and the considerable age on it now is probably as good as it might be a few years down the road. If you...

    The Decline of Prince Albert and Carter Hall

    I couldn’t agree more. It was my favourite, for years all I had smoked was Prince Albert from the pouch. When they began the switch and stopped production, I had maybe half a pouch left, so when it popped back up, I eagerly ordered a tub the very day it was re-released, and when I got it and...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    Bowl 22 in the calabash meer, HU Tillerman. Turning the idea over in my head of focusing up on this pipe for a month, just to see how the color develops.
