I see Dunhill pipe prices have increased about 20% in the last month or so. I can't remember the last time I saw inflation like that without a reason behind it. I also wonder if that has implications for other brands and/or tobacco prices. Any thoughts?

Last night I was smoking a bowl of Wessex Brigade Classic Virginia with Perique. My first thought was that it's a nice tobacco and that there isn't a very big gap between a nice tobacco and a brilliant tobacco. And yet, that gap makes such a difference. The virginias were sweet, but not quite...

I am happy to see Yuriy's pipes being sold on the scandpipes site now. I have two (that were a real bargain just three years ago) and I always thought they are superior to many of the artisan pipes out there these days.

Formers Flakes. Under $7 a tin. Under $6 a tin in quantity. They're not mind blowing, but they provide a decent smoke at a price that's hard to beat. Check out the reviews and give one or two a shot. They had been out of stock for a while, but I see they are back at several big dealers...

Thought I'd post a few images of my smoking cabin. It's my way to beat cold temperatures, but it's fun in the summer too. It's a 12' X 10' shed with added windows, insulation, and pine walls. I added an outdoor outlet to our house so I can power up two space heaters if I want to (using heavy...

Not so fast my friends! What I really want to know is: A). Are you a current or former cigarette smoker? B). Do you most prefer Virginias, Burleys, Latakia Blends, or Aromatics? I have a theory that current or former cigarette smokers lean toward Virginias or Burleys, while smokers that...

I'll be in Las Vegas to see this show on Novemeber 6th (show runs Nov 6-7). Let me know if you want to get together for a smoke. http://www.westcoastpipeshow.com/

Here are a pair of pipes I had made by Mark Tinsky. My idea was to have one for my brother and one for myself. Like my brother and I, they come from the same place and they are very similar, but like my brother and I they are also different. I love the work Mark did on these. The stem work...

I was on the Tobacco Reviews site today and thought of this post in the way Jeff Foxworthy would do it. For instance: If 28 of your 38 reviews are one star ratings, you may be a bad tobacco reviewer. or If a tobacco has a 4 star rating with over 300 reviews, but you give it one star because...

As I put in a small preorder for some Dunhill tobaccos today, I couldn't help but notice that the thrill was missing. Anyone else tired of chasing after their favorite tobaccos (Penzance and FVF come to mind for me)? I'm tired of finding out a retailer has tobacco x in stock and then finding...

Here they are. The order in the photo does not imply a ranking. I love all three. At the top, there is a Mark Tinsky bent apple that brought pipe smoking to a new level and inspired me to buy some other premium pipes. The pipe in the middle is made by Yuriy Aksenov (YakSlon on this site)...

Hi everyone! I'm a longtime lurker on the pipe forums and finally decided to join this one since I find it the most active. I've been smoking for a while and like to experiment with the whole range of tobaccos but greatly prefer English tobaccos. My favorite pipe is a Mark Tinsky Black and...
