I recently bought the Abe Herbaugh, Blasted Lovat sold by cds43 on the trading post. The pipe was shipped fast and was as described. Easy smooth transaction. Thanks Chris!

Its very bad to run out of tobacco on a trip and its even worse running out in Saskatchewan! My mistake of course, I thought I had packed a bag of FVF for thr trip alonsige a small bag of balkan sasieni which so far is the only tobacco with Latakia that I barely enjoy smoking. I keep a small bag...

This tobacco has not gotten a lot of press, but after just finishing a bowl, I'm very impressed. VERY smooth, probably the smoothest Virginia I have ever smoked, medium strength dark virginia flakes, burns really nicely and I want to say that I tasted pineapple but I'm not 100% sure. I smoked it...

In a recent trip to Montreal I stopped by the Blatter & Blatter shop on Kennedy street. This is a must stop for any pipe smoker, they sell some great in house blends ( love their Danish mixture) and of course their own handmade pipes.Lots of history in that place and lots of eye candy. So in my...

Since joining this board i think not only I have improved my knowledge and enjoyment of the hobby, but besides the latest PAD attacks, I have developed almost an obsessive ritual of cleaning my used pipes every night. Usually I use 2-3 pipes for my daily needs. At the end of the day i go down to...

I thought that this is a very interesting article! Certainly it confirmed in my mind what I have been experiencing all along. Yesterday I lit up my JU and my Sasieni, identical size Canadians, similar construction, same VA blend but such a difference in taste. Light, nutty on the JU, earthy and...

So I have this "estate" bought for 20 bucks on ebay.Its one of those "impulse" purchases, this thing I have been cleaning and cleaning for almost a month! Rimming the cake was a PITA but most importantly getting rid of that foul smell from the previous mixture smoked in this pipe its almost...

Must be my lucky day! The postman delivered 2 new pipes and a box full of goodies from 4noggins :) So i broke out the Solani Virginia Flake that I wanted to try for the longest time. Both the smoke and the 2 new pipes did not disappoint! On my 3rd bowl today, the blend is as expected from...

in my recent PAD i have acquired some significant higher end pieces. True to form these pieces have elevated my smoking pleasure, educated me in the complexity of the blends I like, but at the same time made it really difficult to smoke anything else!!! Now I have in my modest collection about...

Quick question. I dont think that I want to purchase a motor and a buffing wheel. Just cant justify the expense to polish my pipes only. However I do have a Porter Cable that I work on my cars. So would it hurt to use it? I know it sounds silly, but the buffing wheels I see on the video's are...

Today I have been smoking my recent acquisition the Lumberman Gepetto and i felt compelled to write about it. I had a bowl in the morning of Dunhill Flake and I now enjoy a bowl of Navy flake. What a nice smoke!!! Even though I still have a hint of ghosting from the previous owner's aromatics...

Hi Guys, The first pipe I picked on my recent PAD attack is a beautiful Randy Wiley Dublin. The pipe not only is gorgeous, but draws beautifully and it did this from the start. The only issue i identified was that it smoked very hot and I have been really careful as I smoke only Virginia's...

I had been reading the past few days you guys cleaning, polishing etc your pipes and I felt the urge to stop by my local tobacconist and find a pipe polish kit to do some spring cleaning on my pipes. The only thing he had was the Dunhill Bowl Polish, and a fancy Dunhill kit with the bowl polish...

Since I found this board I think that I have moved from a pipe smoker to a hobbyist! I have learned so much about the hobby and how to properly take care of my equipment that I want to say a big thank you to all... Case in point, my bent dublin big ben oxford pipe. This was one of my purchases...

In the past few years I have been smoking the good ol pipe seriously. In the 90's however while I ventured into the world of pipe and purchases a couple of pipes, I did not get serious till the early 2000's. So looking at my pipe collection now that I pretty much have a bit of a better taste for...

Nice community! I just stumbled upon it and I really like what I read so i decided to join! I have been a pipe smoker for about 6 years now. At first I started in order to quit cigarettes, now its become a hobby. I still have a lot to learn and I have a very small collection of pipes which...
