    Stanwell Pipe Finish Issue?

    Hi Everyone, I have encountered an “issue” with my recently purchased Stanwell Royal Guard. After every smoke I give my pipes a rub-down with a lightly damp rag. Nothing vigorous, just a gentle once-over. However, this process appears to be affecting my Stanwell in a maybe not so positive way...

    Smoking outside with neighbors

    Hey y’all. Now that nice weather is upon us in the northeastern United States, my neighbors have begun popping open their windows. My recently purchased home is the first I’ve lived within throwing distance of neighbors and I’m nervous to start on the wrong foot blowing smoke into their homes...

    C&D haul and my first Nording

    Well, I remember now why I kept clear of here for a few years... All that talk of VaBurs in the burley appreciation thread and the general love of all pipes around here has me digging holes in my credit again. After falling completely in love with C&D's Bayou Morning Flake I made an exclusively...

    New Stanwell and Chacom

    After a few years out of the hobby I recently returned. I shed some old pipes I no longer felt attached to and used the funds to grab two new pocket pipes that both recently arrived. I've been smoking C&D's Bayou Morning in the Chacom USA Acorn (95) all week (what a lovely VaPer, glad I followed...

    Mac Baren Scottish

    Ladies and Gents, I took a six-month or so hiatus from the pipe and thus the forum but I have been getting back into it over the last week. Missed my pipes and everyone here dearly, but the break did come with a nice little benefit: All that tobacco I had stashed away has been aging! Opened a...

    Sutliff Private Stock St. George's Blend

    Disclaimer: Thoughts herein are written having only smoked one bowl of this blend. Thoughts are subject to change. When I got into pipe smoking (March of last year) my first purchase was a pipe "starter kit" from Pipes and Cigars that contained a no-name full bent, a czech tool, some cleaners...

    Dropping a Pipe

    It finally happened. Last night, I took my pipe out of my mouth to converse with a friend and when I placed it back my teeth didn't get a grip on the bit and it slipped out of my clench. Good news is, I caught it on the way down and saved myself the grief of potentially ruining a good pipe...

    Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s Broken Scotch Cake

    Last night I opened a tin of this that I have had since about June. It was my first experience with a Kendal-type tobacco, as well as with Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. tobacco as a whole. I must say, I truly enjoyed it. I have seen such mixed reviews on Kendal tobacco that I was unsure of what to...

    First Order From 4noggins and Fall Smoking

    Received my first order from one of our site sponsors, 4noggins today. After hearing so many good things about Rich and his business I decided it was finally time I made a purchase and I am glad I did! Here it is: All these topics about the wonders of smoking in the Fall weather got me...

    McConnell Scottish Flake and Cake

    Here's a question for those who have smoked both of these blends, preferably. I'd also love input from any who can offer insight on either blend. Aside from the cut of tobacco, what differences are there between these two blends?

    On the Topic of Luxury Bullseye Flake

    A friend of mine recently ordered some LBF that arrived earlier today. I am really interested in sampling it but I have one minor concern. Due to budgets and whatnot I have a very limited number of pipes (3 to be exact). One is for English blends, one for VAs and one for whatever else I come...

    Sweet Virginia (s)

    Been falling in love with Virginias ever since I bought some OGS and Dunhill Flake. About to send off this order thanks to reading the advice and reviews of many of you guys, as well as a few samples from generous friends: Orlik Golden Sliced Dunhill Flake Rattray's Marlin Flake Capstan Blue...

    A New Favorite Combination

    I've been smoking a lot of OGS recently and as my tobacco palate develops I've begun to pick up on a subtle citrus flavor that is much less pronounced (to me) than that of the tin note but is there nonetheless. As it's a sunny 80 degree day in central Ohio I wanted something cool to drink as I...

    Town Sponsored Garage Sale

    The little town around my university had a town-wide garage sale today. Basically used to encourage anybody who wants to clear out some items to put it all out on the same day so they get more customers. Good idea, in my opinion, but to the point of the post. I set out with grand hopes of...

    Honey Treatment Question

    Hey all, I've read a lot about treating a bowl with honey/honey & water mixture to assist with break-in, and I'm about to give it a go on a recent acquisition. I've read through a few topics on this already and I've got a pretty good idea of consistency and application procedures. My only...

    McClelland Scottish Woods and Grey Havens

    It's funny that McClelland was just mentioned in another post, because after my first (wonderful) experience with their Frog Morton Original I have been searching their selection of tobaccos looking for new, interesting things to try. Scottish Woods, in particular, stood out to me. I've...

    Can't Stop Ordering Tobacco...

    Never smoked a Dunhill blend before and with SmokingPipes 5 for the price of 4 sale going on right now, I couldn't pass it up. 5 Dunhill Flake (50g) 2 Orlik Golden Slice (100g) 1 Escudo (50g) Not the biggest order, but that sale takes a big chunk out of one of Dunhill's most expensive tins.

    Camping Trip

    I have a camping trip planned this weekend with a few friends, some of whom also smoke pipes. I must say I'm excited to sit around the fire and enjoy a good bowl with some great guys, on top of some good fishing. Bringing some extra cobs and a few samples of tobacco to share with everyone...

    Free Samples

    Earlier this month I utilized the free sample offers from both Altadis and the Scandinavian Tobacco Group Lane websites. I had heard rumor that the Altadis sample usually took forever to arrive and usually just appeared in the mail one day long after the order is placed, so I'm not too...

    Fishing Weather

    As the sun finally shines on Ohio and temperatures begin to rise (slowly, but rising nonetheless) I'm getting ready to pull out the rod and head down to the lake. What better time to enjoy a pipe? Now, I've seen both Trout Stream and Angler's Dream mentioned in the "What are you smoking?"...
