    MATTNER Pipes

    I was given a beautifully restored MATTNER pot with saddle stem by a friend. This pipe smokes like a champ and it's got beautiful bird's eye grain which I love. Any of the BoB know more about this brand, please?

    Rope Tobacco

    I've never smoked any rope tobacco in the more than 50 years I'm on the pipe. I reckon I should try everything available, even if it's only once. I'm sure the brothers can help me chose one or two blends? I love strong tobacco but I don't want my socks burnt off my feet. I thank you for your...

    AMPHORA Original Blend & Full Aroma

    I've noticed on TR some of the USA pipers regret the fact that this tobacco was no longer available to them. I don't know if you've already noticed but 4noggins has got it in stock now. I love this tobacco which reminds me of days gone by.....smoking a stop of Original Blend right now in a cob...

    ERINMORE FLAKE

    I've smoked this tobacco in the 80s and it was one delicious, fruity experience.  Not fruity like an aromatic, just so good tasting. About 6 years ago I tried it again and was very disappointed. Decided, never again. Then, about 6 weeks ago, it was on special at a shade over $6 a 50g tin and I...

    PETERSON Supreme

    I'm in the process of buying an estate Peterson Supreme bent billiard. Not sure if it's a system pipe though it looks like it. It seems as if this model is not available anymore. Can't find any reference to it either. I would like to know it's standing in the ranks, quality wise If someone...

    Pressing tobacco cakes

    How do one go about to moisten tobacco for the purpose of pressing said tobacco, please? I've commissioned a stainless steel press and it will be ready any day now. I believe the tobacco should be a tad moist so that it will stick together, sort of like a tobacco cake All input will be highly...

    GBD International 58440

    I have a smallish GBD International bent bulldog with the number 58440 on the right hand side of the shank. It seems to be quite old and I had to replace the stem because it was all chewed up. The number seems odd to me because it usually is 4 digits at most. I will appreciate any feedback...

    Orlik Golden Sliced....50g and 100g tins same tobacco?

    I've smoked OGS from both 50g and 100g tins and love both of them. My current 50g tin contains tobacco which is softer, smoother and a tad richer than what I got out of the 100g tins. Imagination ????

Mark has got a nose like a police dog ( Mark is a Lt Col in the police) for finding bargains as far as pipes are concerned. He gave me the heads up on this source and...
