    Captain Black equivalent of RLP-6

    Can someone please remind me which capt. black pouch is RLP-6? I am visiting a store tomorrow, and not sure what their selection is like, but figuring this is something they will have. Cheers.

    Keepin' It Smokey...

    I was delegated the hanging of the washing this morning. Smoking some winchester in a meer and sipping my coffee, I was admiring the view of the mountain range in the distance with the mist covering the fields below it. We have a small window of view from the elevated deck, and are nestled among...

    Briping?

    Does anyone know anything about this? Someone just sent me the link, thinking I would be into it...it seems like an odd mash up of two things I like, but probably not necessary to turn them into a single entity... I am wondering if anyone here does this....thing? Briping

    Mr Wing's Big Bowled Churchwarden Clay

    So I rewatched 'Gremlins' last week. I was thinking that Mr Wing's pipe is the biggest bowl I have seen on a clay, looks like a 3 hour smoke kind of a bowl. And it is very elegant dimensions. Anyone seen one this big for sale anywhere?

    Cigar Holder What Era?

    I was visiting some people today, and John showed me his Grandfather's piece here, which I assume is a cigar holder. I should have taken a few better photo's sorry. The piece came from England to New Zealand in 1904, so it was from England sometime prior to 1904. And the grandfather was born in...

    Quotes from the Kids...

    Being a parent involves hearing some pretty great one liners, most of which are lost to the day, unless recorded. I have jotted a few down over the years Here is a place to put your's if you feel inclined.... I thought about it this week because I made some lame 'finding nemo' reference, not...

    On the 10th Day Of Christmas My 5yr Old Made For Me...

    Both of my daughters are prolific crafters, this morning with my cup of tea in bed I was presented with this bespoke, two pocket pipe and tobacco pouch/satchel...It was just one of the many creations that got started and completed before breakfast this morning ha. I will certainly be the stylish...

    Dark Star

    Dark star came up in the penny farthing thread, and I was thinking about this open tin I have with most of 100g left and how I could smoke through the whole lot just trying to figure out the best way to handle this strange beast and then have no ability to order more.... Or I could ask all of...

    McClellands Smyrna No. 1

    I was just about to pop open this tin, and then I thought I would check the date underneath, it will be 10 years old in May 2022...I know MY palate has NO chance of establishing the difference between a 9.5 year old blend and a 10 year old blend but it seems unnecessarily eager to pop it before...

    Pipe Smoking and Wood Craft

    I recently made myself a classic ships carpenter adze (to adze to my tool collection) at a local forge. The blacksmith did all the brain work, I was just swinging the sledgehammer all day. We made it out of a block of wagon axle iron with a piece of spring steel fire welded into the blade for...

    Sutliff Virginia Slices #507-C

    I got a two bowl sample bag of this from @Ahi Ka so I will do two reviews in the form of internal dialogue followed by some contextual history of each smoke. bowl #1 review: "Yeah, that sure is bland to the point of boredom...it may as well be renamed Nirvana since it has essentially achieved...

    Is Lurking The Online Equivalent Of Lunting?

    I was just thinking how many new members bashfully admit to lurking a while before joining, and I remember doing the same for at least a year before I joined. What I was wondering, (since I have no other real forum experience, and do not use other social media) is this lurking before entering...

    5lb Baby

    There are a few special moments in life, and holding your 5lb bag of tobacco for the very first time is definitely one of them! Ain't he cute though?

    Pipe Used By Edward G Robinson In 'The Stranger' Movie.

    I was smoking a bowl of Ed in my calabash gourd pipe last night, out on the porch with some coffee, and enjoying this Groucho Marx interview: The interview ended and I still had over half a bowl left so I checked what Edward G had on netflix, since I was smoking his blend. I know 'The...

    F & K Lancer Slices

    I only smoked a bowl of this so far, so not providing a review, just a comment or two. Pouch note was obvious latakia smokiness but also a creaminess, like 'cream of latakia'. What I found VERY enjoyable, and something new for me was accidentally discovering that by smoking mostly with that...

    Rabbit Hole

    I tried Sutliff's matured red virginia 515 RC -1 this week, hoping to fill the void left by the dissappearance of Mcclelland's 5100 red cake. This is great stuff, and I will look no further for a replacement blend. While enjoying the pouch note I felt like the strong vinegar note was similiar to...

    Dedicating Or Pairing Pipe With Leaf.

    Tonight I was packing my tools into the truck and I got a message from my wife that she had ordered fish n chips from down the road and I was to retrieve them. I was feeling slightly irked to find myself driving without a pipe, but SLIGHTLY preferred that deviation of routine to the thought of...

    I Now Know How Much I Smoke.

    Every few months a thread will pop up asking how much/often people smoke, I generally say 'a pound a year', or 'a bowl a day-ish'. I realised I actually wanted to know for certain, so I can be sure i am growing my cellar at a pace of two years cellared for every year smoked. So on the 5th of...

    A Great Read

    My wife got for my birthday a modern reprint of the 1886 "Tobacco: Growing, Curing & Manufacturing. A handbook for planters in all parts of the World." It is SUCH a fascinating and informative read. One example that springs to mind is that I got more detail about the mysterious Syrian Latakia...
