    If You Could Visit any Pipe Shop...

    I went to the Squire as part of my 40th birthday road trip. It did not disappoint. GREAT shop!

    A Very Special Smoke

    I live in central Arkansas—about an hour and a half from the Buffalo National River. I absolutely love paddling and, and if you don’t know, the Buffalo is a bucket list river trip for paddlers all over the US. I’m so very lucky to be so close to it. This year I have kayak camped 5 nights (60...

    Autumn Evening

    It’s apparently very popular, but I tried it twice and didn’t care for it. Something about it seemed to disagree with me on a chemical level. Maybe everyone but you and me loves it😆.

    So, We Did a Thing...

    What a great tie that must have been. I made a stop at the CS as a part of a 40th birthday trip. I had a great time smoking a bowl at the shop and Jon David was gracious enough to come over to introduce himself and thank me for coming. It’s a GREAT shop worth visiting and I try to do some online...

    Blends To Start Your Friends On

    Last week a friend of mine was coming to town and he said he wanted to try smoking a pipe. I was pumped. I had a Barracini briar pipe that came as a freebie with some stuff I ordered and I’d just been holding on to it for somebody to try. I spent a few days debating what tobacco to have him try...

    I received this email from MM today: The newest release for our 155th Anniversary Year #2 Release 155th Special Edition Set What makes these pipes so special you ask? Each pipe in the set has a genuine, antique bone bit that was most likely made in our bone products factory. I...

    Italian Pipes: Just my Style?

    Could be in your head🙂 but all but one of my Italian pipes have a fairly open draw and I think that smokes better for my smoking tendencies. I def notice the tighter draw on the one that is a little restricted. Hearing what’s in your collection—-sounds like you’re crazy about pipes like the rest...

    Ser Jacopo Delecta

    Delecta is just a stylistic option. I believe it refers primarily to the shape of an accent on the end of the shank. Not all delecta pipes have silver. If you’re leaning towards a Ser Jacopo pipe and have never smoked one I think you’ll be pleased. Most of my SJs have a pretty open draw so...

    Pipes Are Great

    Pipes offer an enormous variety of tobacco to smoke. Your pipe(s) is a tool and an artistic piece. I enjoy looking at pipes, holding pipes and obviously smoking them. I like that pipe smoking is a skill that you acquire and develop. Yes. Pipes are great.

    1st Experience With AlPascia

    I am very impressed with their shipping. I purchased another SJ from them in January. I believe I bought it Sat night and it was on my porch on Wednesday. That’s pretty great for $11 shipping. I feel like their pricing on Ser Jacopo pipes is really good and for some reason pipes tend to stick...

    Who do You Send Your Pipes for Professional Cleaning?

    What kind of alcohol? Thanks

    It Took 2 Years To Find This Bully

    I do not. I could be wrong but I’m not familiar with a really useful way to date Ser Jacopos. It is from their “Compta” series which was introduced in ‘97 and consists of more typical “classic” shapes with a silver accent.
