Spirits, Liqueurs and Other Adult Beverages
This may seem a bit off topic, but we have a recent thread on Scotch and one on beer. And then one on Mead. Next to pipes, cigars and tobacco in general, all things whiskey, bourbon and beer are a passion / hobby of mine and hence I can talk about those for hours. I know BaronSamedi loves...- mluyckx

"Over" Dry Tobacco in a Pre-Loaded Pipe ?
Now this was weird. I grabbed a Savinelli of my pipe rack last night and noticed it was already packed. The first thought obviously was "What the heck" :crazy: , until the still functioning part of my memory loss ridden brain recalled I had actually packed it with some C&D Autumn Evening...- mluyckx

My Visit To A Belgian Tobacconist (pic heavy)
As most of you know by now, especially since my name now includes the adjective, I am originally from Belgium. We go back every two years or so to visit my mom, family and friends. So on this trip I decided to take some pictures at Huis Windels, the last really big tobacconist in Mechelen...- mluyckx

Fold and Stuff: Who Does It ? What's The Trick ?
This is going to sound strange from a guy who just got a buttload of tins, mostly consisting of flake tobaccos. But I feel that the flake tobaccos just seem to be better, smoke slower and cooler, and have more full flavor in general. Hence I am definitely loving the flakes I have, FVF, Sunday...- mluyckx

Welcome Home to Your July TAD
After my weekly 3 hour commute I came home to this I wonder if I went overboard... but the wife didn't complain. On the other hand, the July PAD/TAD budget is now fully exhausted 25 tins and a baggie of Kendal's Kentucky this month. Most of this if for keeps in the cellar, which has now...- mluyckx

Robert McConnell - Scottish Flake.. Anyone ?
I was perusing for a Virginia with Turkish and Kentucky, but nothing else. No toppings, no orientals, etc.. It's the blend I was recommending to Russ on his blog the other day. So I was wondering if there was one out there already. And this seems to fit the bill. But before I drop more than $20...- mluyckx

I may Need a Hand with This One
Ok, so most of you know I collect Hilsons... For those that don't long story. I'm watching one on the bay of E right here,but that stem is not a Hilson stem. From what i can gather on pipephil and such, it looks like a Blatter or a Retalb (which is made by Blatter) stem. Anyone any clues ? I...- mluyckx

Latakia... what's the deal ?
As I have posted in the past, it seems I have a problem with Latakia. And it's not getting any better. When I (re-) picked up the pipe over a year ago, after a short stint in college, I started looking for tobacco's I really liked. After a couple of months, I discovered that the blends with...- mluyckx

Proud Father and My Apologies
First off, my apologies ! There's a couple of guys here that I owe a little package to (some baccy, a freebie pipe and one I still need to clean up). Packages will go out next weekend. Why the delay ? Well, I should have known that the wedding of my (step)-daughter would have kept me super busy...- mluyckx

An AHA Moment: My New Morning Smoke
As some of you know, I'm trying to get rid of the nails. Which means I need this pretty heavy Nicotine thing in the morning to go with my coffee and get the engine running. So usually it's Kendal's Kentucky in a smaller size bowl to get me to wake up. But sometimes it's a little harsh that early...- mluyckx

My New Pete...
Came home today and besides finding the repaired Hilson from Tim, found my new Pete sitting on my desk. First flame grain in a 68 shape. Love the look and feel, about to load it up with Hal O'the Wynd here and have some "me" time. As you guys know I'm a sucker for amber colored stems, so without... -
Wow ! JH Lowe / Tim West rocks !
Some of you may remember I had a Hilson pipe with a broken shank. You can find the original post here. Now remember, it was a freebie thrown in since the person I bought the lot from didn't know what to do with it. So after some looking around, pondering and thinking, I sent it off to Tim West...- mluyckx

Micro Mesh rules !
For those trying to clean up old pipes, you may have read around here that there's this thing called MicroMesh that works well on stems. But how well ? Does it really make a difference ? See for yourself. After the Oxy-clean and Magic Eraser treatment, your stem will look like this. After the...- mluyckx

Oh the Disaster ! Need Advice on Broken Tenon
So, in this other post I mentioned how I was able to pick up some stuff, amongst which this quite old Yello Bole Premier. But disaster struck as I was slowly carefully dis-assembling the pipe. I heard a little snap and a little piece of Acrylic stem and the stinger broke off the tenon. I don't...- mluyckx

A Good Weekend and Restoration Work
So, I found this lady with an estate sale who had two humidors and three pipes for sale. So I went over there and had a look. She started at $100, but I walked out paying $60. For this: Two racks with humidors. No names though. But I needed some more racks, so this'll do. And three pipes: A...- mluyckx
