    Pipe Shape Identification

    I'm curious where you get the stem proportions from? From tobaccopipes.com: "In order for a pipe to be considered a Canadian, the length of the shank must be at least one and a half times the height of the bowl, but cannot exceed double the length." With the OP stating that #10 has an oval...

    You are right to point out my imprecise language. A square shank is always square to the bowl.

    Pipe Shape Identification

    A lumberman is a longshanked saddle stemmed billiard, no? If not, what's the difference. The description of the article you cite-"A Lumberman is...a round shank, saddle bit" is not what I understood a lumberman was. This article states that a lumberman should have an oval shank-...

    I thought the difference was that bulldog's had a square stem and rhodesian's had round stems?

    It also may be that a few of the photos on the OP aren't the clearest/have shadows Manufacturers don't make it easy either, identical pipes are labelled differently by different makers. For instance: https://www.bollitopipe.com/en/chacom/16852-chacom-corne-371-bent-brandy.html vs...

    I'd say #5 is a bent brandy #6 panel billiard #7 bent apple

    The Aroma of the Shop

    My highschool had a smoking area for students, now you can't even smoke on the opposite side of the street.

    The Aroma of the Shop

    I have the same euphoric experience. I remember that feeling walking into a cigar/pipe store with my brother as a kid. My brother was there to buy cigarettes but my 6 y/o self loved the open the jars of pipe tobacco and stick my head inside. Those old guys who worked there didn't seem to care...

    Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged Review

    I am very hopeful they will find another partner to produce their blends, though I doubt they'll be the same.

    Pipe Tobacco is no Good Anymore/Better Than Before

    I was joking. This band was before my time and I didn't like their music at all. That is until I saw them play "Blue Sky" on the Dennis Miller show in 1992- Warren Haynes and Dickey Betts with the Strat and Les Paul on Soldano amps is pure magic!

    I always thought Dickey Betts carried Duane and Greg

    Pipe Tobacco is no Good Anymore/Better Than Before

    Current pipe tobacco blends seem relatively stagnant. Blenders like Per Jenson and Hans Wiedemann blend together the best recipes that can with the ingredients available. But from what I see, there is little effort being made to development higher quality ingredients. The cigar world puts great...

    Bringing Tobacco Back to Canada Over Land Border

    I don't believe you'll ever find a CBSA agent that will let you pass through without paying the tax on tobacco. The tax is based on the province that you enter, not reside. I suggest buying the cheapest pouch of convenience store grade tobacco you can find, something that you don't mind walking...

    Meerschaum and amber rebuild - carving replacement amber, glueing amber, swapping out the tenon, & repairing the case!

    Fantastic post! Great photos, great writing, you have really added value to this forum, thank you!

    Name your favorite HU blends

    Now that is funny! I admit I had to think about what blend you were referring to but misspelling until I realized you had the spelling correct!

    You mean smoking Captain Black exclusively? I agree.
