    Nothing In Stock Online Anymore

    Hello fellow Pipe People. I used to hang out here a lot in 13-14 but had a financial crisis so the tobacco went first. Even though I hoarded quite a few tins and jars, I'm going to end up running out. I'm really into Virginia,and VaPer flake. So I decided on building a nice cellar again...

    A Bad Tin

    I just received a tin of Mac Baren Dark Twist Roll Cake that was missing the dark center in the middle of the coins. I emailed Mac Baren and told them I was not pleased with the tin I received and attached a picture of the tin. Do you think I'm in the wrong? I want the tin replaced.

    I'm Back After A Long Break

    Hello everyone, I had taken a break from pipe smoking but lately I've been smoking a couple of bowls a week and just made my first tobacco order in 6 months. I spent my summer on the shores of Lake Erie and had a blast with my sons. I missed the forums and my friends here so I decided to pop in...

    Newminster Superior Navy Flake: A Pleasant Surprise

    P&C was running a special on Newminster products. 15% off. I decided that I had nothing to lose and ordered a half pound of the Superior Navy Flake. At less than 20 bucks shipped I really couldn't go wrong. It arrived in 3 days like all my P&C orders and I was excited to try my new tobacco. I'm...

    My Funky New Meer, My First New Pipe

    I was checking out meers this morning with no intention of buying one when I came across this one. It is from a Turkish seller. It's new so I bid on it and picked it up for next to nothing. I enjoy having one of a kind stuff and I'm certain that this is one of a kind. It is a bit odd though. lol...

    An Inconsistency Issue

    I have been smoking C&D Night Train for 5 months now and it has become one of my favorites. I started getting low so I ordered a half pound from P&C. It got to me in 2 days. This morning I packed a bowl of the new batch and it's just not the same. In fact it is bad. To make sure it wasn't my...

    I finally got my new shipment of tobacco, and have been taste testing and blending tobacco for a new run of plugs. The first to hit the press was the Balkan plug named after out very own Baronsamedi. Here is a picture of the new plug. I made it thinner so it would be easy to slice off a flake...

    The Stuff & Twist Method

    I have come up with a method for packing flake in my bowl that works very well. I have not read about it, but I'm sure I didn't invent it. I don't like to rub out my flake. I think rubbing out flake partially defeats the purpose of making flake in the first place. The fold and stuff method makes...

    Elephant Painting Self Portrait

    My mom hipped me to this. I'm no animal rights activist, but I have a big place in my heart for animals and can't bring myself to kill anything. Not saying I wouldn't kill an animal to feed my family if need be. Anyway, to any of you that think "Animals are dumb and don't have feelings." THINK...

    How Did You Get Started Smoking A Pipe???

    I thought this would make a nice long thread. I'll start it. I dipped Copenhagen for 24 years. I got a divorce in 05 and hit the dating scene with a vengeance. Since no woman really wants to kiss a man with dip in his mouth, or date a guy that carries an empty Coke bottle full of spit, I picked...

    How To Make A Perique. Hahahah You Must See This!!!!

    I was doing my morning tobacco stroll through the net and decided I wanted to see exactly how Perique was made. This was at the top of my search results. I nearly fell off my chair. The guy being filmed is a character, but he thinks Perique is a Rope tobacco, not a delicious condiment tobacco...
