New Pipe Ideas

[frozenchurchwarden]

GQTobaccos.com is one of my favorite retailers. I don't know for sure if they ship to Ireland (I suppose that would depend on which side you're on) but chances are you've got access to some of the best Plugs on the market through G.Q.

I love the sound of the Northern Irish accent. Hopefully, we can go there, someday.

What happened to the finish on that Savinelli? The Bacco line tends to be quite shiny.

I tried cleaning it, but I didn’t know how to do it!

As a guy of a certain age, the Falcon pipe defines Irish codger to me. Very nostalgic and a good smoke.

I am only in my early forties, but you may have given me enough intrigue to try.

Nice pipes there. My advice is to take your time building a pipe collection. Most things around pipes and tobacco are an evolution of tastes. Going gung ho too early might be counterproductive.

@edger is in his early 40s too...that’s just what happens when you only smoke falcons

Try Miss Morans Tobacco Emporium (by the In-Shops). Good selection of blends, and many loose/bulk options.

My advice is seek out Dublin shapes, or any pipe that has a conical chamber. I particularly like the Missouri Meerschaum Mark Twain pipes, filtered, but I think they're available with regular stems.
Inexpensive, too! €11,50 on SP's Euro site, around $14 from MM's American site.
You should get a cob, anyway. They're great.

It's the off-gassing from some on this forum.

Great suggestion! You beat me to it.

Look up Steve Laug's site Rebornpipes. Lots of detailed information on how to restore/refurbish/repair pipes

Should definitely add a couple of corn cobs to your rotation.

Welcome to these forums and to the wonderful world of pipe smoking, from Mike here, in Ocala, FL.
Whatever you do, do NOT buy or accept as a gift, a Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe.
If you do you will find yourself neglecting your wood and that these pipes somehow propagate.

Well, heck. I sent someone a cob!!??!!??

Great advice, especially that given all your pipes you might only consider buying the odd shapes, small and large, and a churchwarden. But my opinion is that although they look just wonderful, having to manage a bowl that is arms length away from you has long ago lost any use or meaning.

Welcome ot the forum. Lots of information here, and off and on, camaraderie.

Welcome from Scotland.

I would echo the advice of the others about Gawith Hoggarth and Samual Gawith Flakes.

I’ve also enjoyed the Charatan flakes as well.

@I recommend them, especially in a clay pipe. Gawith blends seem well suited to clay pipes; he probably smoked one himself!
