    Vermont Freehand Question

    Have a dilemma and figured I would throw it at the brain trust. Please note that I am not bashing the vendor here, it’s a genuine question as I know many of you have stems from this vendor. I ordered three Foreverstems for Country Gent pipes. They arrived, beautiful. But they don’t fit. I even...

    Forever Stems

    I guess I’m late to the party but I just realized they are no more? http://walkerbriarworks.com/index.html Needed to order a couple. What are you gents doing these days for MM stem upgrades?

    Terroir

    Curious as to whether the brain trust believes in this concept as it applies to tobacco (or wine for that matter) and whether, if so, it’s even discernible in a finished blend.

    Would You Pay?

    A couple of recent for sale threads made caused me some interest on this subject. One man’s average is another’s spectacular, and it sure sucks to have a favorite discontinued. So what are some of the blends you would pay a premium for? And how high would you go over then-current retail? A few...

    Managing A “Cellar”

    Hi there, gents. Well, I decided to do something very unlike me and actually quantify and better understand my little cellared collection. I was prompted to do this by happily discovering some McClelland blends I didn’t even know I still had. So seemed to make sense. So where does someone like...

    Zippo

    Hello fellow pipe smokers. I searched, but there were far too many hits to read through. So here’s the question: are Zippo pipe lighters a good way to go or do they impart a lighter fluid flavor to the tobacco? I’ve been a Zippo guy for decades on the Rollie side of my tobacco enthusiasm, never...

    Disappearing Pipe Tobacco

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Good evening fellas. It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Had to take a break from the digital pipesmoking world and just enjoy smoking through my cellar for a few years. And just needed a break from digital media in general. Anyway, the reason...

    Pipeworks & Wilke: red alert

    Seriously. Is nobody going to step up and buy it? Do we all need to pool together and form a company? We cannot let these blends fade away. Russ? Forum members? Anyone? I can't do it alone, but I would partner.

    Forum member sallow

    I just wanted to give a shout out to sallow. Unsolicited, sallow noticed that I frequently lamented the loss of MacBaren's Burley London Blend and he reached out to me to let me know he had two aged tins sitting in his collection. It wasn't one of his favorites so he proposed a trade. I now have...

    What are your favorite tin notes?

    I love a good tin note. To me, it's an experience in itself. Here are a few of mine, in no particular order and irrespective of the blend type: Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Pipeworks & Wilke No.10 and High Hat Dunhill Standard Mixture Robert McConnell's Original Oriental and Scottish Cake...

    To All the Aros I've Loved Before

    For some reason, I'm sitting here smoking a burley flake and thinking about aromatics. Since this subject comes up from time to time, I figured I would list my favorites. Pipeworks & Wilke No.191: There's a reason why this is their number one selling blend. Honey and vanilla that smokes dry...

    Hunters! It's High Summer...

    And before you know it, the heat will gradually dissipate and Fall will arrive. That means leaves. It means a temperature more conducive to the human species. And it means..... [insert drumroll...........] the onset of HUNTING SEASON. Any hunters out there with big plans?

    When A Pipe Finds Its Tobacco

    As some of you know, I'm a big fan of dedicating pipes to specific genres of blends and, in many cases, to a certain, specific blend. I'm astonished by those who share pipes between genres of blends but, hey, to each his own! This is a hobby of personal taste. Regarding a pipe, however, it's...

    Stew

    I am sitting in the kitchen with Mrs Perique, smoking a bowl. She is diligently cooking venison stew. I mean STEW now, fellas, not some contrived politically correct variant. Venison. Bone broth. Fresh picked carrots. Potatoes. Old school thick succulent stew. The kind that'll make you wanna...

    Fillmore

    Because I am smoking the last of a tin of Fillmore, and because I am in a state of ecstatic tobacco bliss, I figured I would share my humble review of this glorious blend: Visually, the dark, broken flakes are very attractive. Just the right moisture level. Fantastic tin note is reminiscent of...

    Nothing At All Against You City Boys...

    But can we get a sound off of rural pipe smokers? Not suburbanites with rural hearts, God bless you, but real cow town pipe lovers? I'm just curious to see who all is out there. Now, now. Don't get offended. My hat is off to those who can walk down the street to a Peretti-ish B&M, stroll down...

    Pipeworks & Wilke Reviews

    The American/English: Bestmake: **** Presentation is a ribbon cut of light, medium, and dark brown, with a touch of deeper black. Pouch note is well-balanced, with a hint of sweetness amidst the smokier Latakia aroma and more neutral burley notes. Bestmake arrives at just the right moisture...
