    Tobacco Presents from Santa—What to Get?

    Title edited for caps and specificity. So I’m putting together a pipe and tobacco selection order for myself to order from Father Christmas because I’m such a good boy. I’m going for the Savinelli Christmas poker pipe…which should do nicely. See attached image. But the question is what...

    Carbon like covering on my new pipe

    Hey all! I have bought a new savinelli 320 (treated myself). I noticed however that the inside of the bowl has a black lining. Does this mean that the pipe itself wont require so much breaking in? Thanks!

    Peterson - Killarney (yuck)

    Another whinge.... I am new to pipe smoking. Maybe I have just been lucky so far but this post goes alongside my moan about Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls. In the last package i ordered I went for DLNY along with Peterson Killarney. It kind of tastes like when you got to a coffee shop and order...

    Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls.

    I smoked some De luxe Davy rolls by Peterson today. Feel slightly disappointed I thought the flavour was quite linear. What are people thinking about this tobacco?

    Tobacco management

    I've been a pipe smoker for what must be only a couple of months now. One of the things that I'm really lacking in is good tobacco management. Now what I mean by that is the transport of tobacco for when im out and the process of returning it to the air tight giant jar i have the holds about 5...

    Clay Pipes

    Is there such thing as a premium clay pipe? I've done a bit of googling but they are all quite cheap. Is that just the point of a clay pipe though? Are they considered to be half was disposable?

    UK Pipe Smokers....or Lack Thereof

    I'm a pipe smoker who lives in Crowborough UK which is in the South East near Tunbridge Wells. Since I've been pipe smoking for a number of months I've noticed that I'm almost completely alone. There are tobacco shops all over the place but I've never seen one pipe smoker. I generally smoke...

    Smoking Jacket

    Does anyone here regularly wear a smoking jacket for practical purposes? I was thinking about getting one to wear when I’m smoking.

    Ahh finally got flake tobacco right!

    Ive been a pipe smoker now for about a month and half and for now have just been smoking standard (if i can call it that) aromatic Peterson pipe tobacco. I bought a few weeks back a tin of Kendal Ennerdale flaked pipe tobacco. After a couple of tries i could never get it quite right. i always...

    New Tobacco for a Beginner

    So...I'm well and truly hooked on pipe smoking and absolutely love it. I've been trying to research a new tobacco to try though. At the moment ive only really had aromatics and have bought Peterson's Connoisseur's Choice and Peterson's De Luxe. I have tried another tobacco whichis a flaked...

    Cracks in new Peterson pipe?

    Hi all! So I bought this new Peterson pipe a few weeks ago and have been slowly breaking it in. I’ve noticed all of a sudden these little imperfections. I didn’t really check the pipe before so I’m not sure if they were there before hand or if they are new. Is this quite normal for a new pipe? I...

    Pipe Smoking and Covid (a Story of Woe)

    Not so much a meaningful discussion but more of a call for sympathy. I had a lovely new Peterson pipe arrive last week. I sat on the bench on Thursday and had a little bowl only to notice a soreness in my throat. I was hoping it was the dry cigar i'd smoked before that was giving me the throat...

    Pipe Cleaning

    So I've been pipe smoking for a few weeks now and I last week bought a savinelli pipe which i love. As it's new ive been going by the rules of only smoking it every 24-48 hours. I've also been cleaning it with a pipe cleaner after each smoke. What ive noticed is that despite pushing a pipe...

    New Pipe Shopping

    Well i'm completely sold on pipe smoking. It's my birthday coming up the end of March so I'm going to gift myself a new pipe i think. I've been looking at all the brands and the choice is vast. I want to spend 100-150 quid and will probably get a straight pipe. Are there any brands that I should...

    Stinger issues

    So basically I'm a complete beginner. I had my first kit arrive today with a simple pipe, a tool and some tobacco to get me started. I took a walk earlier and thoroughly enjoyed the bowl that I smoked. From what I understand you are meant to clean the pipe regularly so I took it apart and was...
