    Looking for Non-Aromatic Recommendations:

    Some easy-going non-aromatics that won’t knock your socks off with nicotine would be: PS 301 Natural Dutch Cavendish Rattrays Old Gowrie C&D Pegasus Another great tobacco, which is technically an aromatic, is Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. It sort of bridges the gap between non-aromatic and...

    Savinelli Prices

    I was the one who made the post about Savinelli Punto Oro pipes. Had they gone up a mere 20%, I likely wouldn’t have even posted. They went from $209 to $331.91 (each price with a 5% SP discount). This is a 59% increase in price. Peterson pipes also had a 10%-15% price increase on SP a...

    Kopp Has Fancy Flake Presses

    Dang. I can't see cause I don't have any anti-social media. PipesMagazine is all I need. Can one of y'all post a screenshot?

    I'm Starting a Blog About Antique Pipes.

    That was very entertaining. Thank you for sharing. The stem-work was really something to behold.

    AI Is Out To Destroy Your Pipes!

    Isn’t that why we’re all here?? Have I been on the wrong forum this whole time??

    AI Is Out To Destroy Your Pipes!

    Before AI, I wasn't the best writer or anything, but I could get by. Now, thanks to hard work, dedication, and Chat GPT, I just graduated with a doctorate from Stanford University. I am also mentally retarded.

    To restore or not restore

    I would just replace the fittings, clean it out, and light it up. The stem is acrylic so I wouldn't use alcohol on it. Just use a dull knife or a Czech tool scooper to gently scrape out any cake.

    Wish I Knew

    Yeah I’ve done this many times, but I usually remember what was in the pipe. I’m only ever smoking a few blends at a time so it’s easy to narrow things down. If I pop a tin, I smoke through it before popping another one.

    Aromatics are Not for the Pipe-Smoker

    Most pipe tobaccos are cased in some form and the line between aromatic and non-aromatic can blur with certain blends, at least in my opinion. As someone that came to pipe smoking by way of cigarettes, I tend to smoke non-aromatic blends. My wife much prefers the room notes of non-aromatic...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    Thanks man. It’s the only pipe that I own that my wife has ever felt compelled to hold and inspect because she thought it looked so cool. This is the same pipe in Dec 2023 around when I first got it.

    Jim Talks About Comic Books.

    I watched this and it was great. You are an incredible story teller. I loved the bit about your friend asking if you would walk on his sore back. LOL.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    I broke in a new Savinelli second yesterday. It’s unstamped other than the Savinelli logo on the underside. It has a vulcanite stem and it’s clearly the 626 shape, which happens to be my favorite.

    Connections Between Pipe Tobacco and Elevated PSA

    Yucky.

    Someone's Trying to Lure Me Back

    Considering the millions of people in the western world that have shifted from tailor-made cigarettes to RYO due to taxes, I’m sure the RYO crowd is larger than the pipe-smoking crowd by an order of magnitude.

    All Things Come To An End

    Congratulations, Jesse. You are in a wonderful place to enjoy retirement in Ashland. I've read bits and pieces on the forum about things that you've worked on and it is an incredibly impressive resume. Here's to many more quiet nights with blue wisps of smoke lazily rising up from a Barling as...

    Savinelli Punto Oro Price Increase

    I'll keep that in mind. I've recently been getting into estate pipes for the first time and I see those from time to time on eBay.

    Savinelli Punto Oro Price Increase

    I actually prefer the way my Savinelli pipes from the Tre line smoke to my lone Punto Oro.

    A Quick Rant About a Personal Problem.

    It sounds like you’re stranded alone with a lady that you’ve realized is unpredictable. I would get the heck outta there ASAP for your safety. I know hitchhiking isn’t as culturally acceptable in the south as it is out west, but I think it’s to that point for you. Just thank your lucky stars...

    Savinelli Punto Oro Price Increase

    If I'm not mistaken, Savinelli currently has the single largest store of unfinished briar blocks on planet Earth. My money is on artificial scarcity to drive up demand and charge more for a premium product. Supply on their other lines seem to be keeping up just fine. Another unlikely...
