    Advice Needed: Moving Aged 5100 to Jars

    I've recently rediscovered a small stash of 5100 that I forgot about. Back when I started dabbling in this hobby, I put ~8oz of 5100 into a swing-top jar and set it aside. Now that I've come across it again, and with the discontinuation of this blend, I'd like to move it to smaller half-pint...

    Young Smokers: Post your reactions

    Alright, so this is a thread for the younger guys here (myself included) to post the reactions they get from the general public. A lot of times when someone thinks of a pipe smoker, they have the connotation of an old dude with a beard. Now that a lot of us younger guys are getting into the...

    PAD: Boswell Style

    Welp, PAD got the best of me today. Grabbed this guy off of eBay: I was really looking to get a Jake Hackert, but I called him earlier today and he told me he's not taking any orders until next year :shock: I figured this would hold me over till then

    Smokingpipes.com

    I've been absent here for a while, but recently got bit by the TAD bug yet again. I usually use 4noggins (which I have not a single complaint about) but decided to try smokingpipes.com as they have Bagpipers Dream in-stock, the tobacco I've been trying to get a hold of for a while. I place my...

    Favorite pipe maker

    I looked but couldn't find anything related. So who's your favorite pipe maker? Mine was Savinelli, but is slowly becoming Boswell.

    New Boswell, tight stem

    Ok guys here's one for you: I just purchased my first Boswell pipe and it is absolutely beautiful. However, the stem fits kind of weird. Figure the part of the stem that goes into the shank of the pipe is about 3/4" long. For the first 1/2" it's loose as can be, as in there's absolutely no...

    Pipe on the homepage

    Anyone know who makes the dark, bent pipe in the picture for Mr. Pease's "Making it Real" article? It's beautiful and I want one.

    My TAD order from Boswell

    After reading positive notes all over the internet about Boswell tobaccos, I had to order some. I placed my order Friday around 4:30pm and received my order at 11am this morning (Monday). Talk about excellent service. I have yet to smoke anything yet, but man do they smell delicious! I have...

    Bad Aroma

    Does anyone else notice a cigarette-like aroma lingering in a room/car after they've smoked a pipe and returned to that location a few hours later? I notice when I smoke in my car and I get in it a few hours later, it smells like cigarettes. It doesn't seem to be a certain tobacco as I notice it...

    Musicians on the Forums

    Lately I've noticed a few threads with people mentioning they play an instrument or two. If you're one of them, this is your thread. Post up what you play and throw up a picture or two of your equipment if you please. I'll start. I've been playing drums since I was 9 (going on 12 years). It's...

    Tasting different tobaccos

    As much as I enjoy smoking a pipe, I could never really pick out specific tastes. I can tell the difference between smoky, sweet, smooth and rough, but other than that I'm at a loss. I've tried aromatics (both cheap and premium), Virginia's, Burley's, etc. and I just cant find these flavors that...

    Trouble with Lotus Gaucho

    Based on the positive reviews from some of the guys on this sight, I bought myself a Lotus L11 Gaucho lighter last year. Well, ever since I bought the lighter, I haven't been able to get it to light properly after it ran out of fuel the first time. I refill it and it'll last for a day, maybe two...

    Online B&M's and Return Addresses

    This question may seem weird to some of you, but I'm curious to see if there are any sites online that do not have their name in the return address. The reason being, I still live at home and my parents aren't too fond of me buying tobacco products in general. As of now I buy all my tobacco from...

    PAD: Savinelli style

    Well guys, it struck again. It's been awhile since it hit me, but PAD caused me to add my 5th pipe to my collection. While on vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC with my girlfriend I managed to pick this up: It's a Savinelli Sitting 111 KS. I also picked up a Savinelli Pisa 128, but that's for my...

    What got you started on pipes?

    So what is it that gave you the idea to pick up a pipe? For me, it started when I was young. My dad and I would build Testors models down in his workshop and his grandfathers pipe was always in the cabinet and it smelled wonderful. I was always curious how the pipe was just because of how good...

    Another storage idea

    I was at work the other day (NAPA Auto Parts) and was in the paint section and thought that it might be a pretty decent idea to use clean, unused paint cans to store tobacco. If I wash them, it should be just like any tin you get tobacco in and if it's a good enough seal for paint, then it...

    Reviving FVF

    So I opened my tin of FVF the other day, only to find it extremely dry and crispy. Apparently, SG tins do not seal well at all. My question is, is there any way to add moisture back to the tobacco to make it smokable again or should I just toss the tin? I know dry tobacco is good, but this seems...

    Cleaned Savinelli Stem. Burning Smell?

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forums so hello :). I just purchased a Savinelli Venezia and I cleaned the stem with rubbing alcohol to get the glue off from the price sticker. Now my stem is discolored and smells burnt. Did I ruin the stem and is it still safe to smoke?
