    Churchwarden recommendations?

    Having looked, the three I can find in price range and spec are either the Roma or Paykoc (I have one of their smaller meers and it's an ok smoke but have never smoked their Italian briars) or I looked and Iwan Ries has a line of Mitchell Thomas Italian churchwardens at that price point too that...

    Churchwarden recommendations?

    Hi. I'm looking for recommendations for a nice churchwarden for a friend's birthday present. He's normally a cigar guy but wants to try out a pipe and asked for one for his birthday because he knows I'm into pipes and since it's a significant birthday I'm happy to get him one. He specifically...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***

    It was pretty good, still feeling out how much I like that blend. I got that tin, Hal o' The Wind, and Bagpiper's Dream. I had a bowl of Bagpiper's last night and loved it immediately, and I had Hal o' The Wind today and enjoyed it. Normally I wouldn't buy so much at once, but there was a great...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***

    About to crack this new tin of Rattray's Professional mixture in the Baraccini Bent Rhodesian. First time trying this blend, does anyone on here like it? I found a good deal on a few Rattray's tins and figured I'd give them a go since I like Black Mallory alot.

    Meerschaum Calabash Pipe

    Seconded on the Old German Clays. They're fantastic smokers and great value-for-money. I honestly prefer mine to some of my nice briars and in most cases they cost less than half. My first one had the clay stem (which I got used to and used really heavily in my rotation for a long time) but it...

    Knowledge on Local Ordinances Houghton MI?

    Everyone's gotta relax somehow. 😂 I spend less on my tobacco every month than I'd spend eating out or traveling or doing anything like that (and still less than my parents spend on their cigarettes or my cousin spends on his vapes), I can still cover all my bills, and I have no wife or kids to...

    Knowledge on Local Ordinances Houghton MI?

    Problem is, I have no savings to speak of. I've also already accepted the job, signed the lease (with money advanced to me by my new employer as a relocation allowance), and made moving arrangements. Additionally, I can't stay on at my current place and my contract at my current job ends in...

    Knowledge on Local Ordinances Houghton MI?

    I appreciate that. If budget allowed I'd happily have done that. As it stands this apartment was not only basically the only thing in my budget, it was also the only thing available within a pretty wide commute to my new office (January is a terrible time to relocate for work apparently). It's a...

    Knowledge on Local Ordinances Houghton MI?

    I really needed the job and didn't really have a lot of options (time crunch, current lease about to end, etc). Google also doesn't provide anything except the general state regulations that are the same as where I live now so I was trying to figure out if there was anything specific I needed to...

    Knowledge on Local Ordinances Houghton MI?

    As stated above, I am moving to Houghton, Michigan from Marquette, Michigan in early January to accept a job. The only apartment I could find to rent is a non-smoking unit, so I'm trying to find out how strict the local area is about smoking outside (sidewalks and streets, etc.)? My current...

    Norman Rockwell Pipe Tobacco?

    If anyone does happen to be selling some, I wouldn't mind picking up a tin or two sometime in the future again either. I haven't been able to find it anywhere since.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***

    Rattray's Black Mallory in this old Prince of Wales handmade (which I gather is an old GBD subbrand). I just bought the pipe, it arrived today and it's an excellent smoker so far. This was my first firing of it. Proceeded by a cup of black coffee.

    Wind caps

    I like that pipe alot and the wind cap is handy where I live, but I admit it is kinda a pain to clean (since the cap is built directly onto the rim and doesn't come off, the lid only flips up). The actual pipe smokes very well, though. Better than some more expensive pipes I have. I personally...
