    monstrosities

    Wow. Those are hideous. Smoking from those would be like breaking bread with a zombie. And hence their appeal, I suppose...

    New Pipe Hobbyist T-Shirts

    Don't know. You can ask them (they're friendly) -- I know they offer XXL 52" as one of their standard sizes. PS I don’t receive any kickbacks from this. I do it in the spirit of fun and paying it forward. I just really wanted some nice pipe t-shirts for myself and suggested a few they could...

    New Pipe Hobbyist T-Shirts

    Hi strongirish. (As I say in my post...) You can get them from Primitive State in Scotland for 18.50 pounds (don't know what that is in US$). They're quality t-shirts, with the image printed into the fabric itself. Plus you can choose both the shirt & the graphic color. Here are links to the...

    Tobacco shipped to Canada

    Hello greggors. Canadian customs permits 200 grams of tobacco to cross the border duty free, whether in person or in shipping. The duty can be hefty, but is still cheaper than the cost of buying it in stores in Canada. I live in Toronto and get most of my tobacco online. I have relatives in NY...

    Political Inclination

    This might be of interest to you: the Political Compass quiz. The answers may (or may not) surprise you.

    A Horrible Smoke

    The other night I had one of my rare -- thankfully -- thoroughly terrible smokes. It wasn't the tobacco that was the problem, it was my technique. Some blends have an extremely fine shag cut, especially a few Esoterica blends I like quite a lot. Every so often I fail to pack a bowl with the...

    MAD AS HELL

    Amen to that! Period! Speaking of removing links to make the chain shorter, as soon as people started pissing into cups to get a job -- which is more a test of conformity than anything else -- it was only another step to this. There was a day when it was valid to ask workers about their race &...

    Recommend Vapers

    I recently explored VaPers, and found one that opened up a whole new world of pleasure for me. I recommend to you A C Petersen's Escudo Navy Deluxe. I also liked Solani's 633. The Escudo was tangy & spicy, the 633 grassier. Both were easy, biteless, smooth smokes. But the Escudo is something...

    Presbyterian Mixture

    Do you mean this Presbyterian Mixture? (You must have been looking in the wrong place for the review.) Without going into detail, I think it's a really nice, well-balanced, solid, middle of the road Balkan mixture. I can see why it has a fan base that has kept it around for so many years...

    A Note from the Owner of this Site

    Thanks Brazz et al. And thanks to Kevin & Bob for their reminder to "treat everyone with dignity and respect," which is damn good advice in general. (And jonesing, I completely agree with your sentiment about politics.) Basically, whatever helps makes this as welcoming a home to as diverse a...

    Cleaning Meerschaums

    Excellent advice and much appreciated, Bob & Cortezattic! I'll try it out this weekend. While we're on the topics of meers, does anyone prefer them to briars? I've heard of one or two that do. I'm curious why they're not more popular.

    Cleaning Meerschaums

    That's the article I've seen before -- thanks for posting the link, dillydallydan. But it doesn't say what to do with the meer if you think a cake is starting to form, which is a concern of mine. I think meers are underrated, by the way. They're light, they cool down fast, they're not overly...

    Mac Baren\'s Honey & Chocolate

    Indeed! It's a wonderful thing to have a such a club locally. I look forward to hearing about your experience. And if you like syrian latakia, I cannot recommend McClelland's Three Oaks Syrian too highly. It's a transcendent blend.

    Mac Baren\'s Honey & Chocolate

    Hi Steen. I'm glad you finally got a tin of the Honey & Chocolate. It's a real quality aro -- I knew you'd like it. I've had it only twice, at the two meetings of our local pipe club. It's one of the blends I look forward to smoking at our meetings. I just might have to get my own tin.
