    Coming back to pipe smoking after 13 years.

    I quit regularly piping for roughly 35 years. Someone gifted me with a tin of Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening about a year ago, and I decided that now is as good a time as any to get back into it.

    Well, if you can ever find any Peter Stokkebye "Black Vanilla", let us know (his "Sweet Vanilla" rocks). In the meantime, you should try Cornell & Deihl "Green River Vanilla", because it sure seems like the same thing as Captain Spice to me. Maybe better.

    Revisiting the Question of Tinder Box Tobacco Trade Names

    Hello. I only just joined this site. I've been a pipe smoker since 1985, although I set it aside for about 20 years and just this year picked it back up.

    Pyrolitic Graphite?

    It's now 2025. But if anyone is still interested in this topic, I have information. In the 1971 Tinder Box catalog, there is "The Pipe" and also "The Smoke". These also appeared in the 1972 catalog, but no further.
