    Allan Kuehl Pipes

    Does anybody know anything about him? Only a quick mention on the internet and only that he lived or lives in Georgia. I picked up 2 of his pipes from 1999 at an estate sale and they handle and smoke really nicely.

    B&M In Southwest Florida

    I live in Ft. Myers and have yet to find any pipe shops in my area or even outside my area. The only shops are head shops. If any member lives in Florida I'd appreciate any info you can give me as to where they are or if indeed there are any. Plenty off cigar shops/bars but they carry no pipe...

    McClelland 5100 Officially Discontinued

    It's official. Mike McNeil, the mastermind behind McClelland Tobacco, told Smokingpipes.com that they will no longer be producing 5100 Red Cake. He didn't elaborate on the particular ingredient that is no longer available but that component is the reason they're shutting production down. I spoke...

    A Request Deleted

    I tried to post a WTB request on the tobacco forum for McClleland 5100 but it was deleted. Any particular thoughts as to why a member needs 100 posts to request a tobacco? I can see that requirement if selling something but wanting to buy is a different story I would think. PayPal is the most...

    Resting Your Pipe

    If you smoke 4 or 5 bowls out of the same pipe a day, how long do you rest it before smoking it again? Ray

    McClelland 5100 Replacement

    Now that my favorite tobacco is in limbo what can I substitute for it? Red Cake 5100 was my favorite Virginia and I was floored when I found out that McC was suspending production until a key ingredient was found and that could take quite some time...if ever. I also smoke Dark Star, Blackwoods...

    Jan Klouček Pipe And The President

    Jan Klouček is Czechoslovakia's premier pipe maker and about a month ago he had the honor of presenting his pipes to Czech president Milos Zeman. Quite an honor for any citizen of any nationality. I have 3 of his pipes and they are phenomenal to say the least. http://www.janpipes.cz/new-pipes/

    You And Your Pipe

    How about posting a photo of you smoking your favorite pipe? We'll get to know the real you instead of an avatar. Don't know if it's been done before but let's give it a go. Here I am.

    New Pipe From Jan Klouček

    I just got my new pipe from Czech pipe makerJan Klouček and it's another beauty. His work is top notch and prices are really reasonable. This pipe was $280 including delivery. The ring is giraffe bone and the briar is Sicilian. Smoking my first bowl of McClelland's Dark Star as I write. Great...

    Jan Pipes

    I recently had 2 pipes commissioned from this phenomenal Czech pipe maker and I'd like to share. His name is Jan Klouček and I'd never heard of him until I stumbled across his name on an Instagram site. Fantastic workmanship and smooth smokers. Reasonably priced. The rings are made of zebrano...

    PipeSmokersForum Ban

    I can't believe this happened to me in about 10 minutes over a simplicity. I have a post on this site for a pipe trade and the same one was posted on PipeSmokersForum. In about 10 minutes I was banned for posting the trade. Here's the only notification I received: "You have been banned for the...

    Cavicchi Inlaid Dots

    Does anybody know if a pipe repair person inlays the Cavicchi dots on a new lucite stem? I need a longer lucite stem for one of my Cavicchi bents.

    Aging Tobacco

    The problem for me in all of the tobacco aging discussions on the forums is that I can't wait all that long for my tobacco to totally mature as I'm 66 now. In the 10 years of proper tobacco aging I myself might evolve into fertilizer. I keep mine for about 6 months in Bell jars and then crack...
