    Differences between Cringle Flake and Krampusnacht?

    Except last year both krampus and cringle blends were completely different then each other and the previous years. This years is different than every year prior but the blend is the same in both different tin arts.

    Differences between Cringle Flake and Krampusnacht?

    It's seems to me the krampus and cringle this years are the same blend just different tin art. Last year was the big difference in the 2 1 was straight Virginia the other had stoved Katirini and stored Virginia it took a year to get better but I enjoy it now. The krampus and cringle last year...

    C&D Bourbon Bleu - A Tale of Two Tobaccos

    I love me some Bourbon Bleu. I think it is some of C&Ds best work. Its almost slightly aromatic in the tin but the flavor is much more subtle. I have a tin from 2016 I'm waiting to pop. The tin says estimated peak is 10-15 years, so I'm pretty close that. I'll probably wait till the 15 year mark...

    Jim's C&D Carolina Red Flake 2024 (Small Batch) Review.

    20,000 tins is alot kinda makes the small batch more of a medium batch. I even thought 12 and 8 thousand tins was alot. I miss the good Ole days when I had to be on the site when it dropped and might get it or might not, and it would sell out in seconds. That Might sound weird but it was a fun...

    With Whom Would You *Not* Smoke?

    Definitely Alister Crowley. That dude probably soaked his tobacco in piss and any other bodily fluid he had available to him not just rum lol. Then he would try to sacrifice us after he smoked his piss tobacco in some sort of weird ritual. Yup I would rather be on the opposite end of a firing...

    Pipe Repair Project.

    I've used both sour cream and activated charcoal as well as a few drips of water mixed with cigar ash. I prefer the latter because I get to smoke a cigar and the amount of ash from 1 Churchill will last forever. I also smoke a Davidoff when planning to use the ash because they just seem to burn...

    Custome pipe stands and cabinets?

    If you guys have any hand carved cabinets or stands I would like to know if you like them or if they are even a thing. If so how many would be interested in this type of thing? I think it would be cool if more pipes came with customized stands or cabinets that have been decked out. I only have 3...

    MM Cob Love

    I don't think it has anything to do with the way a cob smokes but more the price point between the 2. The barling is worth at least 20× the price of the pictured cob. I can see the century old pipe that in that time was a masterpiece of pipe smoking, smoking better then almost any pipe from the...

    Meerschaum Prices

    And that is not right either. Quality meerschaum I have, I can drop it and it might chip but it's never broke and I've stood up with it on my lap from my car to concrete and just a small chip is all that happend and a few small scratches. That's quality block meerschaum. If it breaks when its...

    MM Cob Love

    Cobs are awsome, and if you want to customize them to your liking a lil more it's not that much. I belive your better off upgrading a cob for like $50 compared to buying a $75 briar that burns your hand and makes your blends taste bad. The "Elite" line of missouri meerschaum are a bit more pricy...

    Meerschaum Prices

    100% when I first started pipeing around 2016/2017 I remember the same sellers but much lower prices. At that point Mcclelland was going under and I was just a meer baby (pun intended). You can still find good prices but for the most part quality meerschaum is becoming more pricy.

    I would just bend it myself, it looks like it would bend up simple enough. I just use my lighter on cheaper stems, but if you want to do it "Profesional" the wifes hair drier will work just fine. Just a couple of inches away a few seconds on both sides and lift with your finger. I always put a...

    Billiard Perfection

    I heard the Person who fist had a design similar to this (I mean they are both 1 of a kind masterpieces) but similar. Was The wizard "Merlin", he said in his teaching the reason the shape and design are so eye appealing and it smokes better then any other pipe design no matter the shape or size...

    I sell all over the interwebs, the best thing anybody can do (if the option is available) to contact the seller directly. I wasn't hoping for a free pipe, but just a little customer appreciation. It worked out for both of us, and when I have the funds I will have 2 beautiful meers for almost...

    Nice, ive ran about 5 bowls out of mine so far. I'll post some pics soon but I can say it is going to color faster then my last cheapo meer but that was heavily true lattice, just gotta get a new screw tennon for it and put it back into the rotation. But I like the carving on yours its very subtle.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Yes the bowl is almost too round for a pipe that is shaped and drilled prior to sandblasting. It looks to me that it was cut after the pipe was blasted which could mean only 1 thing. They re-drilled the bowl to look knew. Even if it was lightly smoked you would have to cut out alot to make it...

    Your exactly correct. If the seller wouldn't have apologized so strongly and the shipping wouldn't take so long I probably would have returned it. Yes the pipe In pictured looked translucent but the pipe i received is not the pipe in the picture. When a meer has that clear but rusticated look I...
