Natch, unfortunately your PM never reached my inbox maybe due to a technical glitch? Another Brother already picked up the English lot but the VA-Pers are still available

Hi All, Been spring-cleaning out my cellar again and ended up with a bit of extras I thought I should offer up to others. All have a good half decade of age on them, some a bit more. The tins were purchased in 2016 or earlier and stored in a clean, dry cellar. Prices are forum friendly. The...

I used to be a sworn match man for years until Edinburgh winds finally forced me to consider other options. After long and arduous deliberation, I finally settled for a pipe insert Zippo and have never looked back since. Yes, you might get a whiff of the fuel every once in a while if you rush...

Has anyone had a chance to try out one of the Leonardo pipes by Ser Jacopo? Having recently given in to the call of what might well be the best looking Rhodesian in the world (photos to follow in due time) and which happens to be my first Ser Jacopo (indeed, my first Pesaro pipe), I got...

I'll second that concern! :)

Some Three Oaks Syrian in my Loewe pot with a steaming cup of fresh black coffee... a.k.a Rise and Shine! :sunny:

Oh, is that what them secrets of Amsterdam are called these days? :lol:

Whao, I think I'll be heading off to my local brick and mortar tobacconist first thing on Monday. I have seen it sitting on the shelves for ever but never never tried it before. Reading your comments it seems to me I've been missing out on something quite special. As alwyas, a hunt for the...

A small correction here. Though the shape was indeed originally made for Prince Albert who would later ascend to the British throne as King Edward VII, the honour of design belongs to Loewe, not Dunhill. An English dandy if ever there was one, the prince needed elegance not offered by other...

A cup of Russian tea, a bowl of Samovar and a smoldering Loewe Banbury pot.

Guys, I am feeling quite silly for doing this. But again, I know many of you are dying to try Penzance and it only seems fair that you get the chance. Head over to Smookingpaips and ...... [looks at the swinging doors at the end of the empty hallway] Well, after pipe_dreamer's post on...

Glad that you did! I really like the way folks in this place think of each other in this way. And there was nothing to be done about that frenzy. By you or anyone else. I am sure the order was big. But so is the appetite (to say nothing of the fad). Personally, I find it not a little amusing...

You meant it did? :lol: True magic this stuff. Now you see it, now you don't. We know that the caterpillar liked his hookah. I can bet you a nickle that the Cheshire cat filled whatever (s)he smoked with Stonehaven :face:

But no make-over! :pig: (just kidding Jon)

I suspect you will get a load of good advice soon (in fact, you already have). The selection these days is really quite something and with many of the blenders it's harder to go wrong than right. For me, the bridge became Rattray's Red Rapparee. So whenever someone puts me to the question...

So that's what this is all about? I visited the site a few days ago and thought it was a late April joke or something. I have never bought any of his pipes, unfortunately, but have talked to the man and he seems to be a very nice fellow. Add to this his impeccable reputation as a carver and the...

First sampling of Blackwoods Flake from my favorite Cavicchi dublin. Ranks very highly so far...

Nice rack! :) But, if you don't mind me asking, what is that blue powder next to Rainer's Golden? I've heard Mr Pease releasing a limited run of Area 51 a few years back but I would never have thought that ... :alien:

I know what you mean. I have woken up screaming at night at the mere thought! Yes, I know, I know, I can still get FVF and all the other Gawiths over the counter around here. But, frankly, they are not my favorites at all. I guess I could prolong a miserable existence for a year or two on Red...

I was wondering about the tobaccos too. You mentioned getting stuff from afar. But what exactly do you take in that lineup?
