    Help dateing a GBD

    A friend passed two of his father's pipes to me. One is a large GBD Rockroot, Collector, marked London, model number 9627 or maybe 9827 the second number is stamped lightly and hard to tell for sure. It's a octagon shaped panel. I don't care what it's worth, as it has value well beyond price...

    Making pipe tobacco from a cigar?

    Just a random thought... besides flavor what is the difference between a round sliced flake and a sliced cigar? Or would it be possible to slice a cigar and smoke it in my pipe? A long day and halfway through my first bowl add up to strange thoughts. :shock:

    How to keep a flake lit?

    I love a few flakes (even the two legged kind), but I can't seem to keep them lit. At least not until I've relit them 15 or more times.

    Help! Need suggestions.

    I love English blends. My wife hates the room note. She likes aros, which I dislike the flavor of. EMP gets by barely, she doesn't hate Erinmore, but both of those are not all day smokes, or all evening smokes, for me. Also budget is a consideration. Trying a few dozen tobaccos is not happening...

    Hello from Ohio

    Hi. My name is Mick. I am really just starting my journey into pipes. I have 3 Kaywoodie Estate, 2 cobs and 2 inexpensive briars, maybe a pound of various tobaccos. Still trying to learn what I like. Right now Early Morning Pipe and Erinmore Flake are winning. I'm mainly a smokeless tobacco...
