Require Help Identifying A Pipe
Hello everyone, A friend from the USA has sent me a Christmas card and along with it, safely packaged, a tobacco pipe! He's not a smoker and we haven't discussed the pipe yet, but I'd like to know some more about it, if possible. The surface where there'd be a name seems blank. It looks...- cragdhack

Any Carvers Here?
I've recently gotten into the hobby of woodcarving, as I'm slowly setting up for general woodworking. This was mostly done using a Dremel with a flexshaft and Kutzall burrs on fir wood, mahogany lacquer on top. I'm still a beginner, but I think it came out nicely for a start.

First Churchwarden
Hello everyone, After receiving a kind monetary gift from a family member, I decided that I should get a centerpiece for my pipe rack. I've been eyeing it for a while, but it did cost at least twice as much as my other pipes: The Vauen Auenland Gilg At least to my eyes, the wood grain... -

Greetings, Yesterday I've visited one of my neighbors who also smokes pipe tobacco to share some of what I have, in case he finds something new he'd be interested in acquiring. 15 minutes and a beer in, he brings out this little box. 30~ old tobacco, from Germany. One pack was already opened...- cragdhack

Nicotine surprise
Hello everyone! Thought I might give a little report on a surprise I got with this new tobacco. As I understand, generally, aromatic tobaccos are less heavy in nicotine, unless advertised otherwise (Say, if it's with some latakia), compared to virginias, virginia-perique, balkan or english...- cragdhack

Upcoming Sumo Tournament
It's sumo time! The Aki Basho is starting this Sunday. Is anyone here interested in the sport? Or tempted to get into it? And for those who are into it, who's your favorite rikishi? Mine would be Tochinoshin, who's dipping into mancrush territory for me.- cragdhack

Drying Success
Greetings! My first delve into drying my tobacco has been a success. The blend I did this with is Rattray's Blossom Temptation. First couple bowls I tried didn't go too well. Way too many relights or it burned straight through, had to puff a little hard to really keep it going at...- cragdhack

Greetings from Romania
Greetings! New pipe smoker here, only started a few days ago. Decided to go for it, since I had tried a small variety of cigars before and enjoyed the idea of different experiences coming from different leaves. Was even more giddy when I looked into pipe smoking and its intricacies, some of...- cragdhack
