    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    I tried this blend for the first time the other day and was quite impressed

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    At it again this evening with the Franz Pipe. Tonight, some PS lux navy flake. I go back on shift tomorrow, so my peaceful evening pipe walk or shop smoking sits are over for a while boooo!

    Where to go from Aromatics?

    I’m in agreement here. I very much enjoy English blends as well, and do think it’s important to incorporate them in to the trying out of where your taste is at. But I found my way to some good VA blends rather early on in my “palate development” for lack of a better term and that’s kinda where...

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Figured the ring grain freaks out there like myself would enjoy seeing a few photos of my overpriced but truly stunning Pete 11s supreme. I’ve looked on with envy at some of the supreme sandblast pipes guys have shown recently, and when this one popped up I figured why not. The 11s is right down...

    Awesome! I have a poty ‘22 that I got off another generous forum member here, and it’s one of my favorites. The original Mark Twain’s are something else though

    Nicotine or Relaxation?

    “Part of the package” That’s exactly right. Make of it what you will, but it’s absolutely part of the experience

    Nicotine or Relaxation?

    I smoked cigarettes for a decent amount of time. 7 years maybe? and chewed/dipped for as long. So for me personally, the nicotine is a touchy aspect of enjoying pipes and tobacco. As others have said, the nicotine is there, but I’m verrrry careful not to let it sink its talons back in me. If I...

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    Up until just a couple days ago I was hopeful and very much looking forward to it…but…in the end had to accept the reality. No go for me this year. Those who are going, I’m a little jealous!..And somewhat disappointed in myself that I didn’t do more a while back when maybe I could’ve worked it...

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Hey guys! Been a while since I’ve been on here drooling over everyone’s recent acquisitions! One of my favorite threads. Here’s one of my recents that shows my weakness for a good sandblast. The “Milverton”. I have a couple from the Sherlock Holmes series, and appreciate their larger...

    Bowl Coatings….Why!?

    Yea! Check out “Antica” or “Luisa Fiammata” lines. Vulcanite too! There may be more im not sure. Some punto oros maybe?

    Bowl Coatings….Why!?

    “Most series pipes are offered with the chamber either with a black coating or left natural, but the overall quality is the same.” This is the applicable part of the email I received back from savinelli. Nothing against them, but I believe this is the cut and paste from the FAQ page, so not...

    Show Us Your Ashton Pipes

    Ok so here’s my wife and my three handed extremely scientific precision pipe comparison and photography session…calipers?… Anyways, holding them both up against a 90 degree surface, you can see that the xx is indeed just a little longer, maybe 1/8”, and the bowl just a mm or two taller! Doesn’t...

    Generally speaking, they’re right in that sweet spot, for me at least. But yea, if you were to go off of the “X” sizing alone, you might wind up with a pipe larger or smaller than intended! Lol

    Show Us Your Ashton Pipes

    It’s interesting…and goes to show how measuring pipes itself is a whole other subject lol, because the tan blast is actually just a touch larger dimensionally, both in overall length and bowl height. I’ll see if I can get my wife to help take a pic. I don’t have enough hands ! In the meantime...

    Couldn’t agree more! Tutelage is exactly right. Franks been a hell of a mentor in the pipe and tobacco realm. A perfect balance of sharing experience and things he’s learned along the way, while not pushing his personal taste or opinion too much. I’m sure he’s gotten a little kick out of...

    I’ve been on a massive Peterson kick lately, for the most part. Something else here or there, but the last several months has been very Peterson heavy in my ongoing PAD spree….. This was a nice change of pace for me. I’ve had a couple lower to mid level savinelli pipes, and of those couple moved...
