Having just spent the weekend at home with the parents made me realize how much I can't wait to have a house to call my own for one thing more than others, yup you guessed it barbecuing! Now, being a red blooded American man, I'd tell you the barbecue my family cooks up cant be outdone, all the...

That's right, it' my beloved Stanwell. I got it just as they were switching from Denmark to Italy, so I'm lead to believe it's one of the last true danish Stannies. It's one of the more rare shapes out there too, the 63M, and every time I smoke it I fall more and more in love with it. Not only...

No, not like naming them and dressing them up!! Though maybe a playdate with their favorite tobaccos is encouraged, hah. But in all seriousness would you say you love your pipes? I, for one, certainly do. They're the ones I constantly gravitate to when I smoke, I really do have a bond with them...

First off, let me start by saying damn it feels good to be back! Been buys with school mainly and all that fun stuff, but rest assured I haven't forgotten you all or to sit down and have a pipe when I can. Now on to the bulk of this post. For some time now I've been eying up some Oriental...

Just came across this in my usual internet snooping. I find it very interesting, and if I'm not mistaken I think I saw the one about Pi on here some time ago. Anyway, enjoy some Tau! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3174T-3-59Q" allowscriptaccess="always"...

Just returned from vacation Sunday! Feels good to be back after a week and a half or so vacation! Since my sister (the youngest of my parent's children) just graduated high school and will be off to college by the end of this summer my parents decided to have one last hurrah with their last...

Another "food for thought" topic though this one is potentially scary. With the recent flooding of the Mississippi River could this years perique yields be worse than say an average year? I don't know what time of the year tobacco is planted or harvested, but even if the land was fallow right...

I've noticed the wonderful fellas at C&D generally come out with a new tobacco at the Chicago pipe show each year like Exhausted Rooster, Purple Cow and the likes. Does anyone have the slightest sneak peek on this years? At any rate even if no one does this'll be a great place for those of you...

Hope you have a good one! Enjoy a nice big bowl from one of your large pipes! Hopefully your weather is nice too to make a nice peaceful birthday backdrop!

Hey guys! Just lettin' you all know I'm still alive. It's been a crazy semester at school and have had just about zero time to myself the past few months. Hell, I can probably count on a single hand the pipes I've had this semester. Anyway I'm happy to say that it's over for the most par, just...

I came to this site only a week or two after I started smoking, so that puts my starting date in September of 2010. Since then I've progressed through various tobaccos more rapidly than expected. I'm not almost purely a VA smoker and can't get enough of my flakes. Time for my question- did I...

Floating around these boards somewhere there's a few threads about what pipe shapes you like and dislike, well here's a little spin on it. What grain do you prefer and/or how do you like your pipes stained. Naturally you'd expect everyone to say straight grain but the other day I saw a brother...

Anyone who's seen my postings can glance over to the side and see I'm a proud owner of a 63M, and it is far and away my favorite pipe. Being so cherished I want to keep her around as long as I can. I've seen some places calling military bits and army mounts push-bits. I personally give mine a...

http://www.steveliskeypipes.com/index.html I don't know if many of you all know about him but I stumbled across his site earlier today and am loving his carvings. He surely has a robust masculinity in most of the examples, and he's somehow made me a fan of volcanoes now, his example is amazing...

Just like many of you, I am not only into just pipe smoking, but all of the finer things in life. Music of course takes the cake for me, music of any genre is amazing, if it's worth listening to I'll more than likely love it. This being true I am an avid fan of techno/electronica and all of it's...

As of late I've been really curious about lakeland flakes and other tobaccos. I know the one true way to tell its flavor is for me to get off my butt and try some, but I can't justify it just yet. I've been reading online about them and see many describe it as a soapy flavoring to them, however...

Today I was running errands and came across a HUGE antique mall (85,000 square feet) and in the short time I was in there I came across a nice pipe rack ad more importantly 2 rollagas style lighters. Niether of them are in 100% working order and I plan on fixing them up over the holiday. Does...

I'll be 21 on Monday and am quite the rum fan, I already have a favorite of my own but am open to other opinions and suggestions. My personal go-to rum is Old Monk 7yr, it's super tasty and has a nice caramel flavor and is good both straight and mixed. Also, another thing I'd like to do is get...

Where to start? First things first, this little baby is different as you may know, unlike any other cigars out there, even other aromatics. Unlike other aromatic cigars out there the flavorings in the Acid cigars are from botanicals, herbs and other natural oils added to the cigars tobacco...

Hey everybody, as some of you know and have seen me around here a bit the last few months, yet when I joined I neglected to post here! How silly of me. Well here it is! I came into pipe smoking on a complete whim, I have smoked cigars prior though, so it wasn't completely unfounded. No one in my...
