    MacBaren, Why Only One Perique blend?

    Does anyone ever wonder why MacBaren only has one Perique blend; HH Acadian Perique? It is one of my favorite blends and I think that they could do another blend or two. I understand that they are a producer out of Denmark and that Perique may not be readily available/very expensive but I'm...

    Running a 5k This Weekend

    Hello guys just wanted to post this...a bit off topic but anyway. My wife has really gotten into running again and I have been lifting weights and becoming more physically fit. We are both becoming healthier and we are much happier because of it. This coming weekend I will be participating in a...

    IMP Meerschaum Pipes Anyone?

    So this year again I'll be headed to the NASPC Pipe Show in Columbus, (Dublin) OH. At the show there will be a distributor of IMP Meerschaum Pipes. My rotation is pretty much complete to me, minus a meer. I have looked at them both times and waited too long and the ones that really caught my eye...

    Headed to Disney World, Any Pipe Shops?

    Hey guys, I am taking my family to Disney World on the 28th. We will be staying off of the property in Kissimmee. Are there any pipe shops that you guys know of that are worth a try? I know about Sosa but I am NOT a cigar guy, not even a little. I noted a Tinderbox in Orlando in the locator...

    Any Astronomy Enthusiasts On Here?

    Just curious if anyone shares my new found fascination with space and what it has for us to view? Santa brought my oldest daughter (8 years old) a Celestron 127eq AstroMaster reflector telescope for Christmas and so far, its been lack-luster. I understand its all probably just beginner troubles...

    Luxury Bullseye Flake, a Muted Disappointment

    I got my hands on a sample of this from a kind lady at the NASPC Show in Columbus. I am a big fan of VA's/ VaPer flakes and thought that this smoke was going to blow me away after all of the fanfare that it gets here. It has the flavor I enjoy but it is just too weak for my taste. I have really...

    Sleeper Blends

    Is there a blend that flies under the radar that blows your socks off? Mine is Two Friends English Chocolate. It does have a solid following but its nowhere near FVF, Penzance, etc, etc.... So what is yours?

    I Don't Get "MacBite"

    I really enjoy MacBaren blends. I enjoy others just as much but MacBaren is locally available and if they were all I had to choose from, I could be satisfied. That being said, I was just reading reviews on tobaccoreviews.com and I see quite a few people refer to what is known as "MacBite"...

    Smokingpipes.com Price Increase

    I have recently noticed an increase in prices at my favorite online retailer SP.com. Anyone have any insight? I have only noticed it on tobacco because I'm not in the market for a new pipe right now. It isn't a detriment but I still want to know what's up. Is this a sign of things to come? Maybe...

    Having One Of Those Epic Smokes, Right Now!

    I am currently experiencing one of those smokes...you know, the ones you don't get everyday(well, not me anyway.) I'm sitting on my rear patio with a Leinenkugel's and a bowl full of And So To Bed. I'm not going to do a full tobacco review but this blend is in my top three. I love smoking it...

    Aged Burley?

    I seem to remember reading on PM that burley does not change much with age. If this is true (and I'm not trying to spread misinformation, maybe it does age?) what's the deal with Solani Aged Burley Flake 656? I really enjoy burley and just got a tin of MacBaren BLB and currently have some...

    Esoterica And so to Bed is hard to find

    I'm beginning to think that ASTB is just as difficult to find as Penzance and Stonehaven. I've been all over the world wide web and have come up empty handed for months. I tried this blend in a trade, love it and now can't find any. Any of you have a little known supplier that you want to make...

    D-Day

    June 6th 1944. My time in the Corps pales in comparison to what these men did that day. My wife's grandfather landed in Normandy, France on Omaha Beach, he was a medic and had his work cut out for him. More than 9000 casualties on those beach heads. Fellow pipe smokers, I feel like as the years...

    Smoking my pipe has become bittersweet

    So I've been smoking for less than a year and all of this news about the Tobacco Control Act has me just down in the dumps. I net so much enjoyment from sitting with my wife on the patio and having conversations after the kids go to bed while smoking. I love the stress relief I get from it and...

    I can't find anything about Maryland tobacco

    I have searched this site and I can find alot of information on VA, Latakia, etc. One thing I can't find info on is Maryland. Is there a Maryland afficionado out there? Just curious if there is a blend that contains alot of it or is this leaf just a condiment? I kinds wonder because of...

    My first tobacco review: Mac Baren Dark Twist

    I have experienced much anticipation for this tobacco and think so highly of it, I thought I'd give a review a shot. **Disclaimer** this comes from a 5 month pipe smoker without a broad base of knowledge or a palate that I think can easily discern what I'm tasting. This tobacco comes in a roll...

    My Joy

    Since I started smoking a pipe my three little girls have become very fond of it. They gravitate to me when I'm smoking and love to be near me. Funny part is they want to smell my tobaccos in the tin and always go "Mmm. That smells good!" My littlest one (2 years old) when she is asked what her...

    Holy Smokes! I'm a member!

    I just noticed that I've graduated from bottom feeder to pee-on! Now, if I can just stop keeping Lawrence so busy with fixing my posts! :mrgreen:

    How do you manage your bowl with a pre-carb?

    Most, well all of my pipes had some type of pre carb coating inside the bowl. Now, a cake has begun to build up in some of them and I'm wondering, are you supposed to build it or is that the purpose of the pre carb coating? I generally take a paper towel and twist it in the bowl after each smoke...
