    Two-In-One Smoking Jackets

    Inspired by the current pipes magazine radio show, I was browsing the web. One big gripe I have with the sponsored (Beth Stern's) smoking jackets is that they appear to be exclusively meant for informal (indoor) evening wear. They remind me too much of a fancy Pyjama jacket to really appeal to...

    45 Degree Tampers

    Just saw this thing on Youtube, and thought "boy! that's a splendid idea!". Anyone ever seen/used one of these angled tampers, and would have an idea where I could get one? Maybe some of our tamper-making folks might even experiment with this style?

    A Tin Of Davidoff Danish Mixture from 1993

    Found a lot of 8 tins of vintage Davidoff Danish Mixture today, dating from 1992 and 1993. Just popped open one of the more rusty tins to inspect the contents. Vacuum seal was still intact, but the tobacco was a tad dry. Then blend has aged wonderfully, rich dark golden tones. The smell from the...

    Anyone Ever Used a "Herbal" Grinder For Flakes?

    I just came across a person who swears by using his "herbal grinder" (I think the make is called Sweetleaf?) for preparing Flake tobacco. I'm not fully convinced that person wasn't high on something. Anyone have experiences using that method? I'm curious!

    Show Off Your $2000+ Pipes Here

    I don't have one, but the other closed discussion thread was talking about how some members were talking about their ultra-expensive pipes all the time. I can only imagine such a pipe to be mind blowing works of art - let's see them! P.S.: Don't be lame and take random pics from the internet -...

    Smoking a Pipe is so Unsatisfying in This Heat

    It's been in the 100s for two weeks now, today peaking out at 112 Fahrenheit. Even overnight, it won't cool down beyond some 90 degrees. I've pretty much given up on smoking a pipe for now. So strange, I've tried many different blends and the experience was the same with all of them: tobacco...

    Chicago O'Hare Airport

    Seriously, Chicago is the host of the biggest and most renowned international pipe show, yet the airport is a total joke. Family toilets, Diaper Dispensers, Defibrilator stations, and Asian rubbing your back for money, but not a single smoking lounge?! Hell, not even a small, crammed...

    Sometimes they look at me as if I said I sell *BLEEEEEEEEEP*

    "When I tell people I’m a tobacconist, sometimes they look at me as if I said I sell child pornography," she says." - Carol Burns in an interview with the Boston Globe from 2006 ( LINK ) Just recently came across this fantastic article, and that comment from Carol Burns, the owner and master...

    Infused Black House is Awesome!

    Just had my first bowl of my freshly Infused Hearth & Home Black House. After marrying with some Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum for 3 days (inside in a glass jar in the sunlight), the tobacco which I had before dried to a crisp state, has beautifully rehydrated and absorbed the spiced rum...

    Tobacco Pr0n - 12yr Aged St. James Flake

    Just cracked one of my "ancient" tins as it was starting to show sign of rust on the outside and I didn't want to take a chance of the stuff going bad. Look at this delicious tobacco after 12 years of aging!!!

    Trypis Churchwarden - Wonderful!

    Hi folks, I met up last week with forum member "pruss" - he has some pipes from a Trypis collection for sale. What a wonderful guy by the way! Anyway, I had bought from him a Grade 8 (Trypis Grades go up to 10 for his highest grade), smooth Churchwarden Dublin, looks like a group 3-4 size. I've...
