    How often do you remove the stem?

    I was just wondering what everyone does post-smoke as far as removing the stem from the pipe. Do you: 1. break down the pipe (after it cools, of course) and remove the stem to clean the mortise and stem 2. Just run a pipe cleaner through the assembled pipe and then remove it 3. Run a pipe...

    Valentine's Peterson / Zippo Combo

    For Valentine's Day, my wonderful wife gave me a printout from her email (since the item she had purchased had not yet arrived). Today I received my Peterson Rocky Donegal with Zippo Pipe Lighter. It's pretty sweet! The band on the pipe says Zippo and the lighter says Peterson. First...

    Bulk flavor different from Tin?

    I picked up a half pound of Dunhill 965 from the local tobacconist today. It seems to me to have a strikingly different flavor from the tinned version. I finished my last tin of 965 last week, so I cannot make a definite, side-by-side comparison. This is my first experience buying bulk of a...

    New Erikson

    I picked up this Erikson at lunch today for $40. The first bowl seemed to smoke kind of warm. Maybe a bad packing job since I did it in the truck on the way back to work.

    Nording Carve Your Own

    MacBaren suggestions?

    Pipes and Cigars has MacBaren at a decent price and I'm looking at adding something MacB to my order. I like English, Balkan and don't want anything aromatic or mild. Any suggestions?

    “A pipe is to the troubled soul..."

    Brothers, I too have come out of lurking, though I have lurked but a few days. I have smoked many things from many pipes (though mostly non-legal in my younger years) and have just begun to seriously enjoy the briar aright. I have found great information here and very much enjoy the...
