Houston Pipe Club
A little while back someone mentioned a weekly "get together" of pipe smokers in the Houston area.... I can't find the post now. Anyway, I got to thinking about it. I get into Houston now and then and was wondering where and when they meet and if I know anyone in the group. Years ago I knew...- Searock Fan

Is it Me, or Is it the Tobacco?
Years ago I used to smoke Bengal Slices {BS} and enjoyed it very much. Then they changed it and I didn't care for the new version so I quit it. Then again I heard it had been change again so I gave it another try. It was better but still not a good as the original, so again I quit it. Many...- Searock Fan

The Mystery of the Iron Cage
Ok, so I can't figure this out but maybe one of you can. Here's the facts. We have 2 recoons living in our attic. I know, because I used a trail-cam to get pictures of them. Racoons can be destructive so they have to go. I don't want to hurt them so I bought a humane trap so I can catch and...- Searock Fan

Any old timers remember this one....?
Back in the 80's I used to buy a blend from a local pipe shop. It was a wonderful English. but they stopped selling it and I dearly wish I could find it again. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the name over the years, but I do remember some details and maybe one of you can identify it. It came...- Searock Fan

Vacuum Sealed and Well Aged
No ALL CAPS!! About 10 years ago I used our kitchen vacuum sealer to bag up some tobacco for long term storage. I smoked it all up (or so I thought) about 3 or 4 years ago. The other day I found a bag that I have overlooked all this time. It was P.S., E.O.S.. (Don't you hate it when someone...- Searock Fan

Anyone Smoked a "carburated" pipe?
Title edited: No all caps. Added word. This ad showed up in another thread, and I got to wondering... Have any of you tried one of these? Does the "carburetor" actually do any good or was it just a sales gimmick like I suspect. Supposedly it helped eliminate moisture buildup in the bottom...- Searock Fan

Is This Crazy, or What?
I was just doing some tobacco shopping on line and took a look at Sir Walter Raleigh. Buying it in the 7oz. tin it came out to $4.42 an oz. This is over double what it was a couple years ago. I then took a look at my favorite blend. This is a premium English from a major foreign company that...- Searock Fan

Great Garage Sale Finds
This has absolutely nothing to do with pipes but.... I've mentioned before that I've found some pipe related items at garage sales, but this non pipe score was really amazing.

Raleigh substitute
SWR tobacco has gotten so expensive that it's now priced like a premium import. Plus, no one seems to have the 12 oz. cans and the 7 oz. ones are almost as expensive as what the 12 oz. were a short time ago. Enough is enough! I'm launching a one man boycott of SWR. For years SWR has been my...- Searock Fan

The curse of the amber ashtray
50 years ago I bought a carousel pipe rack with an ashtray on top. (The image of one below is from the web, but mine is identical.) It served me well for all these years and then recently the ashtray broke in half right down the center. I have no idea why. I looked on line for a...- Searock Fan

THE SHORT, SHORT SMOKE.
I recently bought an English blend that I read about and have been very pleased with it except for one thing. While it is quite tasty it burns like a house a fire. I can't seem to get more than 10 minutes out of a pipe. Usually I do much better. I tried a couple of tricks I know the try to...- Searock Fan
