    Adios

    Hey everyone, I am going to be taking a break from pipes for awhile, perhaps indefinitely, and that unfortunately means this website too. I dove more into this hobby a little more than two months ago after breaking up with my girlfriend of three and half years. Probably sounds petty, but she...

    6 pipe rack came in today

    My ebay rack came in today, and for 10 bucks with shipping, I couldn't be happier. I might eventually go and refinish it, but with moving, school and life in general, I'm trying to watch the number of new projects I start. Finally, here's a picture.

    ever have one of those days

    Where your mind is racing around and you find it's 5am and you're still not asleep... this guys has. Sorry to be a debbie downer, but lately life has just been when it rains it jump in Noah's ark before you die type of pours. also, decided a couple days ago to cut back on the pipe, don't...

    crack in my new pipe?!?!

    So I have smoked my new savinelli 622 six times now, starting with 1/3 rd bowls and now I have done one 1/2-2/3 bowl, and have been very careful to smoke it slow, and not once has it gotten more than a little warm when smoking, and by no means hot. But a crack developed inside the bowl by the...

    PAD came in the mail today!

    My "unused Marxman" came in the mail today. First impression is it looks pretty good, couple dings on the briar and the stem needs a good polishing, but overall I am happy with. Looking at it a bit more, I'm not entirely sure it is unsmoked, but if it's not, looks like someone put in the work...

    wow

    So I would never have expected this, but I just smoked about a third of a bowl of presbyterian in my new savinelli 622, and enjoyed a nice pliny the elder, and wow. When I drink, I rarely get a buzz, which is surprising for a 23 year old, but I like nicer beers, and 1, I'm not really into...

    TAD and PAD came in today! ...with pics

    like the title says, my purchase from pipes and cigars came in, along with an Iwan Ries estate I got for $10 dollars on the bay. My new pipe is a Sav Venezia in the 622 shape. I don't think the estate is anything too fancy, but mostly got it to learn and practice some cleaning and refurbishing...

    preferred tobacco for breaking in?

    I know that this could easily be opening up a can of worms, as everyone has their preferences and opinions, but I figured I should ask anyway. Tomorrow I am getting in my Savinelli that I ordered, and maybe an estate that will need some cleaning, but I am wondering if there is any preference of...

    sale on mason jars

    I have been looking around at mason jar prices because I hate spending more than I need to on things like that, and WalMart currently has their brand on sale, a dozen pints, for $5.50. I've read their mixed reviews on the website, and I figured I'd give them a try and if their seals aren't...

    marxman pipes?

    I have come across and unsmoked marxman bulldog pipe, and it has really caught my attention. I haven't found anything on them on this forum, but from what searching I have done I have found that they were a company from the mid thirties through the mid fifties and were bought out bought out by...

    TAD and where you store your tobacco

    Today is somewhat my day off, only work three hours tonight, so I visited both the B&M by me, got a tin of FMOT and then while just looking around at the second one, I found some bulk PENZANCE! While I've never tried it, I have yet to hear bad reviews from those who have. So I will be trying...

    do you drink while you smoke?

    ... more specifically, an "adult beverage" I know I have read that health wise it is not the best idea, but really, that can be said for each practice individually. Besides pipe smoking, I have also been turning into a beer connoisseur (or snob, depending who you ask), and on some occasions I...

    advice on getting a second pipe

    Hey everyone, I've had a pipe for almost a year now, but have started smoking it more often in the last couple months, so I have also expanded my collection of tobacco beyond the one aromatic I got with it. I have read that you don't really want to have a mutt pipe, but try to have certain pipes...
