    HU director's Cut- a lament

    I was ruminating on the flavor of the Director's Cut I purchased from Esterval's in 2016. I share with many of you, regret on the passing, albeit too brief of a truly unique tobacco. Earthy, mellow and unique are merely words- vague and imprecise and don't do it justice. And I'm not equal to...

    Dr.Smith: The man you love to hate

    We kids used to love to watch this guy. There is so much there to detest. Cowardice, greed, treachery, efficacy, opportunism, pretentiousness, laziness...

    Plumber Came to my House Yesterday.

    Title edited for caps See rule 9. My 15 year old water heater finally went to heater heater heaven. She was a true and faithful servant through the years. But, in these things we must girt our loins and move on. Time for a new water heater, despite the sober and manly tears. The plumber came...

    Viking danish made estate pipe?

    To round up my SP order, I added this Viking Classic Smooth Bent Pot. Obviously, its nothing fancy but I like Danish pipes and found them to be good daily workhorses. I took a look around the internet but was unable to unearth much about this brand of pipes. Since its a relatively common term...

    Does anyone remember United Cigar in Santa Cruz?

    In Santa Cruz, California, there used to be an old fashioned tobacco shop on Pacific Ave. It was called United Cigar. Upon entering the place, a person was greeted with a wall of smoke, racks of newspapers and, as I remember it pictures of famous boxers of the 1950's and early 60's. It was dark...

    What's the Lowdown on Uhle's?

    Periodically, I have seen the name mentioned in the 'what are you smoking' section of the forum. But I never ordered from them. On a scale of 1-10, what do you guys think of their blends? Care to offer a recommendation for a smoker who is (temporarily) burned out on lat heavy blends. I...

    Wilke's Lizzie's Blood

    I just got an oz sample from a kind and generous member of our fine forum. This stuff is amazing. Dried it out for an hour or so. Texture was still soft to the touch but it ignited well. I lightly packed my freshly cleaned Brebbia bent apple. One relight while I was occupied with a computer...

    Irish stone carvers

    Not exactly pipe related but fascinating none the less. However, there is a nice Petersen system pipe at time stamp 19:16.

    sopping wet tobacco

    I recently ordered a couple of lbs of tobacco from a certain online blender. When it arrived, I noticed that every one of the tobaccos were very damp. Wet cat damp. Beyond anything that I have seen before. Even after 36 hours out on my tray it was still quite soggy. Bear in mind, I live in a...

    What is your pipe cleaning routine?

    There comes a point in time when every pipe in my rotation deserves a good deep cleaning. Typically, when I finish a bowl, I run a pipe cleaner through to dry the interior of the stem and using the pointed end of my tamper, I clear the ashes and dross. Then replace it into the pipe rack. In the...

    Esterval's. Is he still shipping to the US these days?

    I'm thinking of putting together another order . I was just curious on if its a 'green light' for doing so.

    AWA french pipes

    Somehow I purchased a small AWA briar pipe. I always enjoyed smoking it. Nothing fancy, just a good smoker. I want to purchase another one- only standard size. I did a cursory search but didn't turn up anything. Anyone know who carries this brand?

    Hi All.

    Hi everyone! I've been lurking for some time now. finally decided to take the plunge. I've been smoking the pipe pretty seriously since 2015 and smoking cigars sporadically all my adult life. I'm newly retired and noticing my tobacco use has increased dramatically these days. Recovering from...
