    Captain Black Grape 🍇

    WCC None of Your Business and Dan Tobacco Devil’s Holiday come to mind. I found Devil’s Holiday to be over the top, but I quite like None of Your Business.

    Ted’s Pipe Shoppe

    Ted’s is a great little shop. The 300, also known as Founder’s Blend, is quite good. I would call it a light English, with Latakia, VAs and a good bit of burley. Killarney is also a popular blend—it’s an aromatic. There used to be two locations, but the one at The Farm closed a number of years...

    Winter Weather Challenge

    I had a bowl of Figgy Pudding while the kids played in the snow yesterday. It was about 3*F where we are in OK.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Nice catch. The Made in England would make it from the 1930s, right? I’m curious to see what it looks like when it arrives. My guess is that you’ll see a three-piece C smiling at you when you see the other side of the stem. Any guesses on the dark spot at the bottom of the bowl?

    eBay lot of Kaywoodies and Comoys from the 1930s

    Yeah, I was pretty pleased with where that one came in.

    eBay lot of Kaywoodies and Comoys from the 1930s

    That’s how most of the lots on eBay are. I usually look for lots of pipes that are poorly pictured and not well described. I don’t buy many pipes on eBay because I’m cheap and these lots are so rare. I got lucky on this one to spot the white clover on the shank, and also that the seller had the...

    eBay lot of Kaywoodies and Comoys from the 1930s

    Nope, this one went the distance, but only three bids by three bidders.

    Where Did the High End Kaywoodies Go?

    I scored some Kaywoodies from the 1930s recently and posted about it over here… https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/ebay-lot-of-kaywoodies-and-comoys-from-the-1930s.102603/

    eBay lot of Kaywoodies and Comoys from the 1930s

    I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting when I bought this lot of pipes on eBay because they weren’t well presented, but the one that caught my eye was a Kaywoodie Super Grain, as I noticed the clover inlaid on the stem and remembered reading at some point that these were older and a bit rare...

    Sutliff Mocha Strips?

    When I’ve bought from TP.com they have been full flakes.

    Does anyone know if there’s a video on the interwebs of them slicing a plug at the factory? I’d love to see what that’s like.

    🎄The Official Unofficial PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2023 🎅

    I wanted to hop on and say thanks to my Secret Santa! The package arrived yesterday—two tins of HU Flanagan from 2020. This one was on my short list of HU tobaccos that I’ve been wanting to try, so I’m pumped!

    🎄The Official Unofficial PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2023 🎅

    First timer for Secret Santa. Looking forward to jumping in on the fun. My favorite tobaccos are produced by GH and SG. I tend to enjoy tobaccos with a little sweetness—Lakelands, Aromatics, VAs and VAPers. Merry Christmas! 🎄

    Barely Smoked Reuben-era Charatan

    I mentioned this pipe in a thread called 'Your Pipe Acquisition of the Year' at the end of 2022. Because I was overseas at the time that I bought the pipe, I had it shipped to my sister’s house, and recently I was able to get it in hand. I’m floored by the quality and condition of this pipe...

    Forum Jazz fans and Jazz musicians?

    I was listening to Dave Brubeck, Cannonball Adderly and Art Blakey on the record player just yesterday. Jazz fans, you might find Ken Burns’ Jazz documentary of interest.
