    My First Ever MM Corn Cob.

    With well over 50yrs of pipe smoking I have never ever smoked a Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob, last week I was on one of online Tobacconists here in the UK and just about to finish my order and I saw a advert for corn cobs, so I clicked on it and selected a shape I liked, never looked for them...

    Any former members of the International Peterson Pipe Club still out there ?

    As the thread say's, I was a member from the start, good friends were Chuck and Jim, seems years ago, a massive membership to the end, if I was great on computers I would have tried to keep it going. Good luck and health to all you ex members. :sher:

    Burn out Filler.

    I have two high end Peterson pipes that my late Wife bought me that have burn outs within the bowl, they have been in storage for a few years and only noticed the hot spots lately and you can only return them to Peterson for a burn out within a year of purchase. Does anyone know if there is a...

    Can anyone smell what they are smoking ?

    I have read quite a few post's discussing smoking tobacco and they say, it smells great, I have been smoking for over 40 years and have never been able to smell what I am smoking, if I lay my pipe down, go out the room, then reenter, I can smell it, but sitting smoking I can taste it but never...

    Short Supplies.

    I constantly hear about short supplies of certain tobaccos and wonder if it is all down to our modern ways of smoking. Years and years ago we pipe smokers used to stick to one or two favorite tobaccos, but now we chop and change from one to another and delight in the amount of tobaccos we try...

    Who Finger Tamps ?

    For 40 years I have used my finger as a tamper, I have plenty of tampers all shapes and sizes but have always gently tamped with my finger, just brushing the top ash down, never gets burnt, don't even notice myself doing it, 9 times out of 10 I smoke the whole bowlful down to white ash. So I bet...

    St. Bruno, Condor and Clan.

    If you walk into any English News Agents shop the liklihood is that the only pipe tobacco's you will find is either St. Bruno, Condor or Clan, reading all the Posts and threads from all you USA Pipesters is that you are not all keen on your over the counter tobacco's, I would like to say that...

    French Pipes.

    I have just read Gary Schrier's Confessions of a Pipeman and in it he states that he knows nobody that collects French Pipes, this made me think, I don't and have never heard of anybody collecting french pipes. This is strange being the France is the birth place of the Briar and was at one time...

    Hilighting Private Messages.

As I don't receive many I don't automatically look for one when entering the forum, I have just noticed that I had a message from a newish member who was having trouble finding where to recieve a message that...

    Paint printed tins.

    I don't know what tobacco tins you get in the USA and the rest of the pipe smoking world, every tin that I buy here in the UK has a paper label stuck to the lid instead of the paint printed lids that we used to get. I know it must be cheaper just to stick a label on but when I pay the extra for...

    Playing with Tobacco.

    Sorting out my tobacco stocks today I found that I had a tiny bit of English, a bit of Aromtic and some German tobacco that I wouldn't atempt to discribe, normally I would bung these into a collective jar that has years of odds and ends in it, the contents of this jar makes interesting smoking...

    Gods and Generals and Gettysburg

    This weekend I watched 2 DVD'S, Gods and Generals and Gettysburg, as historical films I found them quite interesting, as most of us pipe smokers are quite good at pipe spotting within films, I was puzzled by seeing 1 officer smoking what looked like a standard system Peterson and 1 General...
