    West Michigan

    I'm kind of late updating this conversation. Gentlemen of the Briar changed it's name to Furniture City Pipe Society in January of 2016 and since then has moved to Indian River Tobacco Traders. We have 40+ members and still meet on the last Monday of every month from 7-11pm. We have many women...

    Daughters and Ryan?

    My tobacco shop (Indian River Tobacco Traders) in Grand Rapids MI sells the entire line of D&R tobaccos in bulk, tins, bags, and tubs. I run the only pipe club in Grand Rapids and the guys in my club absolutely love the Rimboche and Picayune blends. You can buy on our website at...

    Mark Ryan's Williams's Delight and English Hoopla

    I was hoping to get some information about 2 blends from Mark Ryan. The first is called Williams's Delight and the second is called English Hoopla. I believe William's Delight was his submission to the contest at the Chicagoland Pipe Show in 2009(?). It is a Virginia Burley, lightly aromatic...

    Fireside tobacco? any ideas?

    I also smoke a blend called Fireside from a local b&m. It's a deeply black black cavendish with some lightly sweet casing. I added some fire cured Kentucky tobacco to it to balance it out. I also cannot stand it when b&m shops change their names for proprietary reasons. I am a tobacconist at...

    Daughters & Ryan Ryback

    I did have some luck blending Ryback with some cube cut burley, via a suggestion from a reviewer @ pipesandcigar.com (http://www.pipesandcigars.com/pipe-tobacco/72691/daughters-ryan-ryback-bags-bulk/)

    Daughters & Ryan Ryback

    I know that the D&R tobacco is really pipe tobacco. I will be talking with Mark Ryan either tomorrow or Tuesday for a myriad of reasons relating to my job as a tobacconist in a tobacco store. Mark Ryan is a master at his craft and one of the most underrated blenders in the world (in my opinion)...

    Daughters & Ryan Ryback

    I recently discovered a RYO tobacco called Ryback from Daughters & Ryan. It is a dark fire cured, shag cut tobacco with a hearty does of smoke and spice. It's almost a Dutch style tobacco. The smell of the tobacco reminds me of bacon. There is no casing in the tobacco (from the mouth of Mark...

    Help Me Use My $1 Coupon

    I was very much surprised when I went into an Admiral Tobacco (shudder), handed them 2 coupons, each once being a pouch of Captain Black for $1. Since the retail price at this specific store was $9.41, I felt bad when I walked out with two of them for a total of 2 bucks. I bought the Gold and...

    Kriswill "Demark" numbering?

    The other day I was at an antique store and found 2 Kriswill (with an "i", not an "e") rusticated pipes. Seeing a price tag on each of them for $20 I wanted to look more closely into the quality of the briar. Both pipes say "Denmark" underneath the Kriswill logo on the shank. Also both pipes...

    Pipe club activities

    Cosmicfolklore, I wish our "tobacconist" could recommend anything like that. The thing is, he is really unhelpful in every way except staying open for our club for free each month. I would be interested in having a pipe club pipe or a pipe club tobacco but I don't know the first step in getting...

    Ben Wade Danish Free Hand "Royal Grain"

    I have the opportunity of buying a Ben Wade Danish Free Hand "Royal Grain" pipe and the seller is asking $75. The pipe is still in excellent condition and needs no restoration or cleaning work. However since I am not very familiar with Ben Wade pipes, I wanted to know if this was a good deal...

    Grand Rapids MI Pipe Club!

    The founder and I thought long and hard about making it an all male pipe club. The fact is that 3 of our wives are also avid pipe smokers. We concluded that men in our culture needed a time where they could simply have "male time". There is already many things women do together, and are...

    Pipe club activities

    We do tastings. We have a tobacco bar that any of the members can smoke and take tobacco home. If any of the members want a tobacco for the bar, their membership fee pays for it. We also have pipe raffles.

    Pipe club activities

    I recently had a pipe club dropped into my lap, meaning I am now the one primarily in charge. Since I am fairly good at administration and passionate about pipes and pipe smoking, I think I have done fairly well. However I am always open about other things we can do while attending a pipe club...

    Pipe Events in Grand Rapids, MI

    Buffalo Tobacco Traders is by far the best tobacconist in town with the largest selection of cigars and pipe blends. While their staff can be aloof and sometimes lethargic to customer care, their lounge is wonderfully large and the atmosphere is delightful. Gentlemen of the Briar meets there on...
