    What are your Pipe and Tobacco plans for 2021

    Well, my cellar is nowhere near as deep as you fine fellows, so that's my goal for next year. Especially some of the smaller blenders that I haven't tried yet, a la KBV, Watch City, Iwan Ries, LJ Peretti, etc. And, hopefully, get lucky and get the chance to buy some Penzance (or damn near any...

    What pipe tobacco did you discover in 2020?

    I stepped away from pipe smoking after getting back into it last year. I was away for more than a year, so I've got a boatload of tins and jars that have some age on them quite unintentionally, besides the ones that I cellared intentionally. But, I have tried a few new blends in the last few...

    One down, one to go

    So, I just got my 1st pipe in a couple days ago, an estate Marxman bent stem from ebay. Good condition, a little cake. Gave it a reaming and cleaning and smoked my first bowl in it yesterday. Started with Pirate Kake, and it smokes well. It seems to gurgle, but I"m not sure whether that's the...

    Hello from Richmond, Va

    LOL unfortunately, no. I'm gonna have to miss it this year (that 4 letter word spelled W-O-R-K). I'm gonna have to make sure to take the weekend off next year so I can attend both days. How was it?

    Hello from Richmond, Va

    LOL I think you may be right. What I do remember about smoking a pipe back then was that I got tongue bite something fierce and I smoked entirely too fast and too hot. I'm hoping that I've learned my lesson since then. LOl and no need to call me padre. I'm a baptist. The name is one that AOL...

    Hello from Richmond, Va

    I wish that I could. I didn't find out about it until early this week. It's on the same weekend as 2nd Street Festival, which I LOVE attending every year, and I'm working all weekend, so I'm missing both :( As for pics, trust me, I'll happily post pics of my collection as it grows, starting...

    Hello from Richmond, Va

    I've been lurking on the forum for a couple weeks now, reading as much as I could. I'm a born-again pipe smoker, used to smoke about 20 yrs ago while I was in the Corps. I was 19 at the time and partook of cigars and cigarettes while I delved in pipes. Didn't have anyone to teach me, I had a Dr...
