    Dr. Grabow "Mobile Marine Oils"

    Calling all Grabow experts! I recently won an auction for a handsome Dr. Grabow Mobile Marine Oils pipe, seen here: eBay Listing I can't find a lot of information on these pipes, other than that they're relatively rare, and were manufactured as some sort of promotional give-away for the Mobile...

    Hello all - while specifically cigar oriented, this video provides an direct link to the official CRA sponsored petition to protest the latest FDA regulations. The links attached to the YouTube video are very easy to use, and the video provides an excellent explanation for why efforts to appeal...

    Ordering From L.J. Peretti: What Should I Try?

    I've decided it's time to finally place an order with one of our oldest tobacconists. I'm looking to try 4 or 5 blends that exemplify what they have to offer. I'm especially interested in hearing what blends others have enjoyed as I curate my sampling. So far, I've decided on: Cuban Mixture...

    Morley's Best is absolutely delicious. Those who enjoy the "American English" genre must try this blend. END TRANSMISSION

    Criminal Behavior

    Read an interesting article today about what is otherwise a legal activity in this state - in your mind, replace "marijuana" with "tobacco" and you'll find the legal implications are interesting (at least for Oregonians)...

    New Peterson Blends

    I just saw Peterson has released 4 new blends in 40 gram pouches. Has anyone had a chance to try them yet? I was thinking about picking up a few in my next order: Wild Atlantic: "Peterson's Wild Atlantic mixture is an elegant blend comprised of loose-cut, ripe orange Virginias, fine Oriental...

    Lowball Bidding: Success!

    You never know who's watching (or not watching) an auction. I just won a gently smoked Radice for $52 bucks. If I can just sneak through with a Dunhill my success will be complete! :puffy: (Yes, I know it's a German market 9mm pipe - I'm still excited) Radice Italy 9mm Filter Estate Pipe

    Tea For Pipe Smokers

    While on vacation last week, my wife and I wandered into a quaint tea and spice shop in downtown Wilmington, NC. I've always been a coffee drinker, and mostly smiled an nodded as my wife opened and smelled various jars of loose leaf tea. Some of the teas smelled pleasant enough, but I wasn't...

    B.P. Jum

    Hello all - I've been suffering from a severe case of Custombilt / BP Jum / Tom Howard PAD recently, and have picked up half a dozen or so pipes from these makers over the last year. For the uninitiated, these pipes represent a particular moment in time for American pipe makers, and all share a...

    Calling Dunhill Experts - Did I Get A Bargain?

    Late last night I was browsing e-bay pipe listings, and came across a Dunhill Shell sitting around the $40.00 mark. I put in a $50.00 bid for kicks, assuming it would shoot up past the $100 mark in the last few moments. To my surprise, I won the pipe! Upon closer inspection, I see the pipe...

    In Praise of Mac Baren

    I've been smoking a pipe for about 12 years now, and sampled judiciously from all the major blending houses (SG, G&H, McC, C&D, PS, et al.) However, I managed to avoid Mac Baren thanks to reports of the infamous "Mac Baren bite". Despite the warnings, I decided to take the plunge last spring...

    P&C BSOM Match

    I ordered a few supplies from P&C last week, and included an oz each of the new P&C Balkan Sobraine Original Mixture Match, and the BS 759 Match. The 759 match is excellent, but the BSOM Match is easily one of the best Balkan blends I've had the pleasure of smoking. I will be buying this by the...

    Edward G Robinson Tobacco

    I just cracked my first tin tonight and am nearly finished with my second bowl. I just wanted to say this is a great, and underrated tobacco, in my opinion. Light, nutty and sweet, but with some real tobacco flavor, I can see myself smoking a lot of this in the future. Burns down to the bottom...

    No Agenda Podcast

    In the morning? Seriously, any NA listeners here? It seems like the kind of thing the independent minded pipe smoker would enjoy. If you're not familiar, John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry talk politics and conspiracy theories twice a week. And yes, it's as awesome as it sounds. If you're easily...

    If Only I Had This Pipe, My Collection Would Be Complete

    I don't need any more pipes. I already have more than I can smoke. HOWEVER, I really want the following to complete my collection: A chunky vintage Tom Howard A Savinelli 320 or another nice author shape A birth year Dunhill A Peterson System pipe A Canadian or Lumberman The only reason I...

    Trout Stream

    I've heard great things about an aromatic called "Trout Stream", but there appear to be two blends of this name. One is offered by P&C, and the other by 4noggins. I've also noticed both houses offer a blend called "Owls Head". Are these the same blends, or different blends with the same name...

    Built Like A Bilt

    I really like the chunky, squat old American pipes by Custombilt, BP Jum, etc. I've looked around for new pipes in that style with no luck - anyone have any leads on new pipes built like a bilt? If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's a link to an old Tom Howard that typifies the style...

    Latakia Cigar?

    Not trying to go beyond the scope of the forum, but I just got an e-mail about a new Latakia cigar: Latakia cigars I've seen a lot of cigars with traditional pipe tobaccos like dark fired Kentucky, etc. over the past year. Was not expecting to see a Latakia cigar, however...
