    Real Briar Bradbury Pipe?

    I have owned a Bradbury for many years. It is hands down one of the beat pipes I have ever owned. I would buy more if I could find them. I know nothing about the pipe or the manufacturer. But I smoke it regularly.

    Keeping it fresh

    I have opened a fresh tin of Erinmore Flake. I enjoy this tobacco but do not smoke it regularly. For whatever reason, I can never keep Erinmore fresh or moist in the tin. Do you all transfer the tobacco right away to glass jars when it comes in tins like these? Thanks - RD

    My Pipe and Tobacco Beginner Order

    Harrywuzhere: it could. It could also have something to do with the tobacco being too moist. Most times with Q-1 I let the tobac air out an hour or so when I first receive it. when I first started smoking a pipe - 40 years ago - I dropped it, spilled it, burned my pants from hot ash, etc. It...

    Can You use Cigar Tobacco in a Pipe?

    My grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins all came to America from Sicily. I remember in the 1960's almost all the men smoked both cigars and pipes. Truth is, whatever portion of their cigars went unsmoked went into their pipes the next day. These were guys that wasted absolutely nothing. They...

    Dr. Grabow Royalton bulldog

    I have always liked my Dr. Grabow's. To me they are a great value. I also have an old, old briar Medico from the 1970"s that is still one of my fav's.

    Replacement for the old Half and Half

    back in the 1970's, one of my very favorite pipe tobacs was Half and Half. I smoked other tobacs, but Half/Half was always my go to. Although there are tremendous tobaccos available today, and I enjoy quite a few, at times I miss the unique taste/spice/ flavor of the Hald and half. Todays...
