    Reintroduction and the Last 1/3 of the Bowl

    Hello everyone, It has been some time since I have posted here last. I have moved continents again (back in Canada for now) and have felt less need to interact with the pipe community as I have reached a stable point in my pipe smoking for the last year or two, not changing my pipes or tobacco...

    I've Turned Purple! Call The Doctor....

    It happened all at once, I turned on my computer, logged on to PM, then I heard a ring at the door. It was my decoder ring, fez hat, and tin of 1950 Balkan Sobraine! :puffpipe: It's been a great year here so far. The only forum I've been on that can sustain gentlemanly and reserved debates...

    Double Dunhill PAD: WW2 Billiard+'94 Group 5

    After 2 years of seriously looking for a Dunhill, I've lucked out twice in 1 month! It was the auctions we all look for: Poorly tagged, not the best photos, sellers not specializing in pipes. Both were won with "fire and forget" bids.The amount I paid for these combined are equal to my mid range...

    250g of Giftbox Sealed PRE-Murray Dunhill!!

    Got my best score ever, 3 sealed tins of pre-murray era Dunhill. As far as I can tell these were made during the late 70's during the final years of original production and before the supposed quality drop when the move to Murrays happened. The coolest part about this is that it is in its...

    Introducing First Time Smoker: Tips?

    Introducing one of my best friends to the hobby this week and I can't decide what the best tobacco would be. He has never smoked anything before. An aromatic would be good and unoffensive but could bite and possibly gurgle. I have some light Englishes but I fear that might even be too strong...

    Mr. Brog Lumberjack: Review

    Recieved my Lumberjack pipe and a review is in order! I've been wanting a large bowled pipe for some time now and decided to go full force on the matter and get the largest bowl per dollar pipe I could buy. Here are some of my observations: -Good construction, feels great in the hand/forklift...

    Pipe Dreams (Or Nightmares)

    Last night I pulled out my favorite pipe. A Peterson POTY 2011. I checked the draw before packing only to find that it was totally blocked! Not only that but there was so much goopy carbon and stinky dottle filling the pipe that the bowl was totally full! Somebody had stolen my perfectly...
