    Plume Under a Microscope!

    Hi All, I've seen heaps of discussion around plume and mold, long story short, I have a microscope, and a bit of Germain's special latakia flake from 01/2015, which I wanted to look at! I can see the crystals, apologies for the rubbish photos, it's difficult to get enough light onto the...

    Straight Virginia's

    Does anyone else here, dislike straight Virginia's? I've been fortunate enough to try many aged straight Virginia's and I just don't like em. I get the impression this is something you may 'grow' into, but I'm not seeing it, pretty subjective but interested to hear if any veterans dislike them...

    Sgt Savinelli / Matches860

    Hi All, Bit of a cheeky question, but does anyone have a contact for Sgt Savinelli? He's a youtuber who did many videos with the late John Harden (Matches860) Long story short, he mentioned that he was going to auction off John's pipes and have the proceeds to go John's family, and speaking...

    How Often does Your Favorite Tobacco Change?

    Title edited for capitals. Rule 9. I'm sitting here, with a bowl of aged HH ODF, socks get blown off. Then light up a bowl of PPSR, and once again socks blown off. Then I light up a bowl of aged Orliks DSK, socks blown off. How often does your favorite tobacco change for you?

    Tavern Style Clay Pipe

    Hi All, I've recently smoked my first clay and the more I smoke it the more I like it! Out of interest, and as subjective as it may be, has anyone tried one of those larger, very long tavern pipes? Like this one here (around the 1:30 mark) I like how light they are, and the smaller bowl...

    What Advice Would you Give a Young Man?

    Title edited for caps and brevity. -jpm My advice would be to read the rules of a forum early on, esp. Rule 9! :) I thoroughly enjoy hearing older people talk and give advice, with only one grandparent left, its got me thinking. Pipe smokers tend to be more contemplative than most. And...

    Top Tier Tobaccos

    Very subjective I know, I've recently had the chance to try some premium English blends (Thanks heaps aye, you know who you are) and I had a bit of a thought. Penzance is hyped up massively, for good reason mind you, however, while its an amazing blend, I have to say I can't say its better or...

    Homebrewing

    Is anyone here into homebrewing? I love wheat beers and am wanting to get back into all grain, rather than extract which always tastes like rubbish. What have you guys brewed recently?

    Help Put My Mind at Ease, Long Term Storage

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Hi All, I'm probably just being paranoid, however, I want to double check. I now have enough pipe tobacco to last me 34 years, I'm not joking, I don't smoke that often, but when I do, I love it. I have all this tobacco stored in the following...

    Orliks Dark Strong Kentucky Tastes Awful When Folded Rather than Rubbed Out.

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Hi All, Just wanting to understand why this might be the case, I've got some Dark strong from 2014, and when rubbed out fully, it smokes awesomely, however, when I do the fold and stuff method, it just tastes bitter. I've tried this twice, and...
