    Odor Free Pipe Rack/Case

    Quick apology. I'm feeling a little guilty for asking more questions than giving answers on our forum. Just short on knowledge, but learning every day. Thanks for humoring me. I was wondering if any of you are in a "non smoking" house, but display your pipes indoors? My wife is cool with me...

    I've got a "Crush" on English Tobacco

    I've been smoking pipes for several months now and have really only enjoyed VAs and AROs. Well, something is afoot with my palette. It started when I opened my first tin of Frogmorton. I opened the tin and loaded a pipe with the fresh/moist tobacco and lit it up. I didn't care for it, set...

    Great Deal on a Couple of Savinellis

    Cup O Joes has a great deal on some Savinellis. I bought two from their economy line... $39.99 each. Only $10 to $15 more than a basket pipe. They are filtered (6mm) and so far, smoke great.

    Cellaring System - Small vs Large Jars

    As an up and coming pipe smoker, I’m interested in trying different tobaccos and building a cellar. I’ve come up with a method I think will work, but would really appreciate some blunt and honest feedback. What would you change? Can you make an argument for larger jars? How good are tin...

    One great link and one great tool

    This is a great link for Ball/Kerr mason jars. Shows all the sizes and shapes. http://www.freshpreserving.com/products/jars.aspx Below, is a link for a small program I've used at work for years and am finding it very useful with building my tobacco cellar. Perfect for "volume" and "mass" unit...

    Can help identify this pipe?

    Bought the estate pipe below on eBay. It is stamped "J.J.F. / LONDON MADE". Google, pipedia and the usual suspects couldn't give me any info on J.J.F. Have any of you ever heard of this company or brand? There was one reference to an old limo company. Maybe it was part of the onboard...

    Clueless Question

    I'm so new to this forum thing... how do you post photos. Normally there is an "insert" or "attach" feature on a tool bar? Sorry, didn't know where to post this.

    What Would You Add to My "Must Try" List?

    I have two lists below. The first is a list of tobaccos that I've either tried (pipe smoking friends, are friends indeed), or purchased a tin/sample of, and will try. The second is a list of tobaccos I'd like to try, or have been told to consider trying... my "must try list". A note, the...

    New Pipe

    Does anyone have a "favorite" or "go to" tobacco for breaking in a new briar pipe? I've broken in a few and they always seem to have a sharp or bitter taste at first.
