    Candle at Hobby Lobby: “Grandpa’s chair” - Bent Billiard on Label

    I wish the Forum allowed me to “attach” scents to share with ya’ll. My nose tells me “grandpa” smoked English blends and lots of cavendish. $16.99

    Whole Leaf Prep Question

    I am a big fan of Recently, I bought burley in bulk from thd same place. Being a whole leaf commodity, it's not always consistent like we are used to when we buy a final product blended. The bulk I received is rather harsh. It's different. Aside from blending it with other tobacco, do you...

    The Case Against Whole Leaf

    I have been exploring various leafs sold at Wholeleaftobacco.com under their "traditional pipe" category. A brief glance at the ***What Are You Smoking*** forum shows that we don't rely on these often at all. Although it may have a place in a cellar or in one's journey discovering the nature...

    Upside Down Pipe Storage on Rack

    I've seen enough warnings online against storing pipes bowl side up on a rack that it warrants bringing it up in the forum. I have some bent briars that only fit in the wood rack I have if they are placed from the top down. Do we think this leads to moisture not leaving the bowl well enough...

    When to Sell Estates

    (This is less applicable to pipe collectors) How much needs to pass without smoking a particular pipe for you to realize it's time to cull it from the herd of pipes you own?

    A New Second or an Estate Top Label

    I have been looking at estate Savinellis that go for the same price as new a Rossi of the same shape, the Savinelli seconds. The question is: which would you chose and why?

    Would-you-rather: On Pipes and Dreams

    Would you rather own a set of three hand-made great quality briar pipes OR 30 basket pipes? The tobacco you use is the same, regardless. ?

    Pipes by Henning Poulsen, Danish.

    I have found very little on pipes by Henning Poulsen. Does anyone have good/bad experiences with them? Is anyone familiar with their reputation? Thanks, Braden

    When to Cellar in Glass Jars.

    This is just a stock image of a pound of good leaf from Daughter's and Ryan. I have a few different blends from Ryan, unopened, but will this suffice for years in a cellar or should I just open then up and put them in gallon sized Mason jars already?

    Nicotine Masquerading as P.A.D.

    Has it happen to you? You are about to click "buy" on a pipe more expensive than your means should allow and, instead, you go outside and smoke a corn cob and realize just then that you just needed a smoke?

    Same Peterson Design but One has Deeper Reservoir.

    I am a big fan of the Peterson Pub pipe. I received a new one today and I noticed that the reservoir chamber is noticeably more shallow in the one that arrived today. Will the more shallow rendition of the Pub Pipe make for a less dry smoking experience? The dark brown pipe in the photo is...

    Does a Rim Cap Interfere with Reaming?

    This is a pipe I'd like to get. Does anyone know if the metal cap will get in the way of doing a good ream job on the bowl? My suspicion is that it would not. But I need to ask the council.

    How Do You Blend Thin Ribbon Cut Tobacco?

    I am a big fan of Three Sails and Five Brothers. People has said they are good for blending. How on Earth do you blend these tobaccos with others homogeneously when they are in such a knot?

    Organic Pipe Reamer

    I was finishing a bowl out on the porch and couldn't get my IM Corona pipe tool down to the last bit of dottle before heading inside. Lo and behold: A dry Christmas tree lent a branch and removed the dottle wonderfully. And the pipe smells of pine. It makes me think, what random things have...

    Aging MacBaren Virginia No. 1: Tongue Bite?

    I bought a little too much of MacBaren Virginia No. 1 if it's going to bite forever like it does today. Short of perfecting my technique, which is happening, and drying it, which I certainly do until it's crispy, how much will age impact the bite it can give? 1 year? 3 years? 5 years?

    Dilemma of Piping Decisions: Tobacco vs Pipe

    Would you rather: Would you rather live the rest of your life with: Sub-par tobaccos in exceptional pipes OR sub-par pipes smoking exceptional tobacco. My answer: Sub-par pipes with exceptional tobacco, but it's damn close! *I ask because when I smoke a pipe once more to see if I want...

    What Pipe would You Like to have Back? Why?

    Edited title for capitalization and brevity. Original: Thinking back on all the pipes you had, which one would you most like to have back today and why ? I do not yet have an answer to my own question. This thought came to mind when I was at the dog park this morning smoking. I've heard the...
