    Local Tobacco Shop

    I don't know if you gents have kept an eye on legal developments but there is also a constant push to ban tobacco sales from the internet. So the sad thing is many of our local shops have gone out of business due to competition from online sales, which may now also become illegal and we will be...

    Local Tobacco Shop

    I used to always buy loose tobacco in the jars of my local pipe shop years ago, and only recently when I got back into piping did I order tobacco online. I liked that method because the local shop would let me smell the jars, take a bit out to taste test it etc before purchase. Unfortunately the...

    Pipe identification question - Meerschaum

    Well I broke down and smoked it. It was one of the best smokes I can ever remember. I was nervous about harshness due to being a new pipe with no break in or built up cake but it was smooth and perfect. It had amazing draw. I tasted so many flavors in the tobacco I had not noticed before, I'm...

    Differences US tobacco vs EU tobacco

    Good question. I noticed "FOR U.S. SALE ONLY" stamped on the back of my most recent tobacco tins, despite being a "product of Denmark". I suspect it has to do with how taxes and duties and compliance labels are factored though, rather than any exclusivity. I think the E.U. has requirements for...

    Travel Pipes

    I agree with what's been said, take what you enjoy most, you are on vacation and it sounds like you will be in a private area with your cabin, without any risks of crowds or theft. It's not like you'll be leaving your belongings on a crowded beach. For less than $10 you can't go wrong picking up...

    Show off Your Corn Cobs Here!

    Thanks! Not a bad idea at all, maybe gluing a penny underneath to protect it when soft is just the ticket.

    Show off Your Corn Cobs Here!

    So after a couple smokes and cleaning my cob pipe today I decided to remove the sticker on the bottom. I discovered that the bottom center of the pipe is very soft, and would dent with light fingernail pressure. I am hoping this is just due to the soggy bowl from too many smokes without rest...

    Telling my Parents I Started Smoking

    Listen to your parents. You can try talking with them and explaining the difference between pipes and cigarettes. And explain your desire to partake in a vice that has lesser negatives than many others. And how your intention is not to let it impact your school or sports. But in the end you need...

    Thank you. It seems like a pretty clever concept.

    Thank you for the information, pardon my ignorance but what is a stinger?

    Pipe identification question - Meerschaum

    Hello all, I found this pipe hidden in my cabinet. I had long since forgotten about it, I think I picked it up in an antique shop 15 years ago and paid about $30 if I remember correctly. Does anyone know what brand it is? I only see the words "Made in Turkey" stamped on the stem. The stem screws...

    Instant Favorites

    I haven't had a great deal of variety in the past but just started to branch into this hobby again and recently picked up a few different tins and sampler packs. I am really liking this Peterson Early Morning Pipe blend a lot. It's my current favorite of all time for now.

    I really like that look, is the stem the same brand as the Vermont one posted above?

    These are beautiful. Where can one find these stems?

    Show off Your Corn Cobs Here!

    Bought my first ever cob last month and am loving it. I can't believe how cheap it was either! Best $8 I ever spent.

    What Tobaccos Were Common in the 18th Century?

    Thank you, I am a huge historical nerd and the thought of smoking 18th century tobacco pipes strangely appeals to me. Do clay pipes have any special considerations for use or care? Do you have to rest them to dry out more than say, a briar?

    What Tobaccos Were Common in the 18th Century?

    How do you find that clay pipe smokes? Is it a challenge to learn? The bowls look quite small. I have seen a few of these for sale and would love to get one for display or when the mood for historical immersion strikes me!

    I would also be interested in knowing more about this period's tobacco.
