    Spigot Help

    I am once again humbly requesting assistance from my more knowledgeable pipe smoking brethren! With the hiking season nearing I find myself in need of a specific hiking pipe to bring along with me and I've decided that pipe ought to be a spigot. That being said, I have sworn a blood oath that I...

    Virginia Is A Fickle Mistress

    I have been smoking pipes for about four or five months now and I admit it is a far more rewarding experience then smoking cigars (which I did for three or four years previous). There is far more of a ritual to it, there are pipes that almost seem to develop personalities and tobacco/pipe...

    Flake Recommendations

    I recently picked up McClelland's Brindle Flake and was VERY impressed. Started out sweet, turned meaty near the middle and ended up with a satisfying nuttiness and I was looking for some similar styled flakes and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations, after all, the descriptions on...

    Best Outdoors Pipe Shape

    Its officially Winter up here in the good old Pacific Northwest which means even more wind and rain with the possibility of snow and I find myself smoking my pipe out of doors more and more often. Anyway, I was just wondering if the intrepid outdoorsmen of the Forum have found a pipe shape that...

    Amazing Morning With A Pipe

    Sooo... I've been feeling a bit antsy as of late. It seems all I do is go to school, come home and study, do housework, that kind of thing. My outdoors time is seriously lacking. So this morning I decided to change that. After my morning coffee I decided to load up my David Jones Pipe with a bit...

    Esoterica Tobaccos Note: Moan and Groan

    Note: This is mostly a moan and groan post Man, what is the deal with Esoterica? I have been wanting to try their blends for a couple weeks now and I havent been able to get a SINGLE tin of ANY of their tobaccos. I'm not even looking for Penzance in particular. They supposedly have a great...

    Anniversary Gift From The Wife

    I have been wanting a Morta pipe ever since I first discovered them a month or two ago and my wife, the fantastic woman that she is, decided that she ought to take care of that for me! I have to admit though I didnt expect the Morta Sandblast to feel almost like FiberGlass though, in heft and...

    My First Real TAD

    So things have gotten pretty tight here at the Pettibon household and so after over a month of saving and just before a several month annex on purchasing frivolous items I placed an order on SmokingPipes... And a bit of PAD that I'm going to try and keep from the wife... Sorry for the bad...

    Missouri Meerschaum Hardwoods

    Hello once again everyone! I was going to be placing a big order here tomorrow, including but not limited to, a tin of Grousemoore. Because of that I was going to add a cob pipe to the order to prevent ghosting any of the briar pipes I have in my rotation. While I was looking through the options...

    Just Received My Two New Pipes! (Pic Heavy)

    I recently bought one pipe from Adams Pipes and commissioned another from David Jones Pipes that I want to show off! This one is the Adams Pipe and it is an amazing smoker! Gets a bit warm but with the cold days up here in Washington it is actually kinda nice that it does. It seems he was...

    What Would You Like To See?

    I've been obsessively looking at pipes for awhile and every once in awhile I come across a series of pipes that look pretty cool where the designer tries to embody a particular set of characteristics. Like, for instance, Savinelli's Da Vinci Series. Each set of pipes is dedicated to a particular...

    W.O. Larsen... Wow...

    So I just got an order in from SmokingPipes and in it was the 2013 W.O. Larsen and Ashton's Gold Rush. So I get this package about 20 minutes before I am supposed to go to class and I see that it is from SmokingPipes and I immediately call up my buddy and ask him to text me the homework that...

    Tough Times Making Pipes

    Sooo... I've been looking around for another pipe to add to my collection and I decided that I didnt want to buy from a big company like Savinelli or Peterson or whatnot (though I hear Whatnot makes pretty good pipes). Not because I dont like their pipes, I have a Peterson 606 Fishtail I smoke...

    Nordings On Smokingpipes

    Is it just me or have Nordings gone WAY down on Smokiningpipes over the last week or two? I seem to remember them being up in the 150s no more than a month ago and being snatched up like hotcakes. Now with them being down around 70 or so bucks its almost impossible to resist picking one up and...

    First Flake Experience

    I just tried a flake tobacco for my first time since starting pipes and OH MAN was it good! I got big billowing mouthfuls of smoke, there was flavor up the yin-yang, I only had to relight once, and the bowl seemed to last FOREVER! I think I'm in love. Every complaint I had about smoking a pipe...

    Briarbid is Shutting Down?

    Just saw the notification on the website about it closing its doors within the next week. I hope this isnt too akin to asking for people to spam the site but are there any alternative sites that people use to place their pipes and tobacco up for auction?

    I Call Upon The Brotherhood For A Vote!

    I have a serious dilemma! I recently came into some money and I need help choosing a pipe, whatever The Brotherhood decides I will abide by but I cant seem make the decision myself! All I have right now are two Mr Brog 30 dollar specials and I have been enjoying pipes so much I feel the need to...

    Thoughts on Nording Pipes?

    I was looking into getting a Nording pipe such like this one... http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/Nording/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=130708 Which recently sold but I was wondering what people on here thought of them before I spend 100-200 dollars (a significant portion of my spare funds) I...

    My First Perfect Pipe Moment

    I havent been smoking pipes all that long, especially compared to some of the members of this forum but I decided to head out to my covered porch on this stormy, rainy, Sunday afternoon with my Mr. Brog 114 Churchwarden and a bowl full of Dunhill Elizabethan. Here in Washington State we dont...

    Do You Make Briar Pipes?

    I was surfing the forums for a bit this morning and I see quite a few people who seem to want to or already make briar pipes themselves and I was wondering who out there did and where they put them up for sale! (I may or may not be looking for a new pipe as well but that has nothing to do with...
