    Zippo Lighter

    Carry two Zippos for pipes all the time (I own 4). I love them, they are reliable and easy to maintain (flint and wick). If you want to get 'green', you aren't throwing away disposable lighters in landfills either. If you do keep a disposable around (just in case, 3rd backup option), pull...

    Pocket Pipe

    I can second the recommendation on Stanwell featherweights. I have one and although small, it smokes cool and steady. If you want a cob, try a Pony Express or Acorn cob, both are great pocket pipes as well.

    What's Re-purposed for Tampers?

    I use Clevis Pin Bolts, I have one that is 3" and skinny and 4" that is 5/8 around. Very effective and inexpensive.

    Welcome to the community. If you want an all wood churchwarden, check out Flogglewerks, they make great pipes and you can even customize yours if you like with runes. If you want a cherry tobacco that doesn't doesn't bite and tastes great, try Cult Blood Red Moon. Enjoy your journey of...

    Metro Detroit Folks -Should we try again?

    Winter Is Coming!! Can't smoke as much....

    I am fortunate, I smoke in my house. I usually lean to lighter aros indoors, shying away from English blends, though they come out for a change of pace once and a while. All that said, I still prefer to smoke outside, because I enjoy being outdoors. Only the truly cruel months of Jan and Feb...

    No more Forever Stems?

    Paying under a $1 for a replacement stem and getting continued life out of a $7 pipe is worth the investment. Throwing away $6 worth of good cob pipe makes no sense. Do this twice and you save enough for a tin of tobacco.

    Falcons and such

    Jud, I just picked up a Falcon and 2 bowls. I like it well enough, easy maintenance and dry smoke. Until the break in period is done on the bowls, I won't truly know if they are a regular rotation. I picked them up for easy traveling pipes on the motorcycle this summer. Keep us posted on...

    Tips For Smoking In Your Car / Truck

    I drive with the AC on, the back windows down slightly. This keeps things cool in the car, with a draft for smoke, without cross wind on the pipe. Make sure your vents are not pointed directly at you, as this can have the same effect as wind, causing your pipe to get hot. For a holder, I use a...

    Cult Blood Red Moon!

    Ember, I have tried both, gave away the Lane Dark Red and only smoke BRM. It is the only cherry I smoke and for many good reasons. It smokes perfectly out of the tin, with no extra moisture and it doesn't bite or leave a chemical after taste. Open that tin and if you don't like it, send the...

    Tamper exchange

    Alright, here is my humble entry for consideration. I am feeling a bit inadequate, given the entries so far, but it is handmade by me, so here goes in way of description; A wood and brass casing tamper, scorched, sanded and oiled. The casing has been steel brushed to bring up the shine. The...

    Public Opinion

    I mostly smoke at home or in my car, so I do not face scorn. I also smoke around my friends and family, all of which are 'pipe' friendly. They are not necessarily smoker friendly, but it seems pipe smokers are looked at more favorably,if not fondly. Like others here, I only smoke blends with...

    Danger Pipes Shipping Costs disappointing. WOW !

    I have bought two from there site and it was $7 shipping each. They just posted on Instagram a couple days ago something about refunding shipping back to $7 amount, as it is calculating wrong on their site. Jason and crew are straight shooters and really nice folks. Write to him and he will...
