    Clenching and Dribbling

    I started this pipe smoking thing years ago because I saw my Grandfather with his pipe in his mouth reading the paper and thinking..."that's cool as hell, and smells awesome." "I want to be just like him." However, the minute I put my pipe in my my maw and look at my wife with a "you know I'm...

    Happy Accident (Thanks Bob Ross...)

    The other day I had two drying plates with some excess tobacco sitting in them. Father Dempsey and Sir Walter Raleigh. Being too lazy to recover either jar and put the remnants back, I mixed them both together 1:1 ratio and threw it in a cob. Expecting nothing more than my nicotine fix when I...

    I may be late to the game here, but I saw that Squadron Leader is in stock at Smoking Pipes in case anyone is interested. I haven't seen it in a while.

    Can Bowl Shape Affect Pipe Function?

    I understand that is a broad question. Let me narrow down what my issue is. I have a Peterson Aran B11 brandy. For the life of me, I cannot keep this pipe lit. Is there something about this shape that I don't understand relative to packing technique and drying? As @hoosierpipeguy would say is...

    Any Suggestions on a Straight Virginia?

    I am looking for some advice/suggestions on some straight Virginias to try. I just recently started on Virginias again after learning how to slow down and sip a pipe. (My first experience with Mac Baren's No. 1 Virginia went horribly wrong years ago...my tongue just recovered...) I had a friend...

    War Horse Green...Holy $H!*

    Just tried some War Horse Green for the first time tonight out of a smallish basket briar. I saw some reviews about this being on the strong side. I like strong, so, what the heck I figured, let's give it a go. The stuff is wonderful...but I think my lips fell off. Really like the flavor. The...

    Why Esoterica?

    I apologize if this has been asked before somewhere and I missed it. I looked. What is the deal with the Esoterica blends and the "mystique" behind them? I am at a disadvantage here admittedly as I am a newbie and have never tried any of them. But it seems from what little I think I know is...

    Tobacco Storage Question

    Hi everyone. Looking for some guidance on how to cellar/store some bulk tobacco. I was given a wonderful gift on father's day of a pound of Pirate Kake in a vacuumed sealed plastic bag I guess you would call it. It is like a brick actually. I have some already in a mason jar that will last me a...
