    Swisher Sweet BLK "pipe tobacco cigarillos"

    Hey fellas, I was filling up the car with gas after church today and saw a little sign on the pump advertising these BLK pipe tobacco cigars, in cherry and smooth flavors. Just wondering if any of you have tried them. Normally I would completely ignore anything like that, but PIPE TOBACCO...

    Aldo Velani Moderna

    Hmm. Decisions decisions. I was considering the moderna because it's "different". But Ive since found the Irish Sea series from Peterson on smokingpipes. And of course, knowing me i'll probably end up buying something totally different.

    Cob versus Briar

    I ended up gifting my MM country gentleman to a member of my church. The bowl was way too narrow for any of my tobacco. The only way I could have effectively packed it would have been one shred of tobacco at a time..

    Anyone smoked a pipe made from ...

    I was gonna say "chingrish at its best", but that's not even chingrish! that's just "put a dictionary through a paper shredder and see what words come out intact" what kind of wood do you think it actually is? probably the pressed remnants of that dictionary and a vinyl sticker to hold it...

    Aldo Velani Moderna

    Browsing cupojoes and making a list of my next PAD/TAD order, and I came across an odd looking set of pipes. The Aldo Velani Moderna.. It seems to be a cross between a MM and Falcon. just a slightly bent mouthpiece jabbed into the side of the bowl. I found a post on here regarding AV, but...

    Increasing pipe size

    funny thing (to me anyway) is that I've been pondering the same exact thing for a couple of weeks now. Just never got around to posting it up on here..

    Purging?

    ReadIng this and thinking back to my first pipe days I realize I had it backwards. When I would get gurgle that I couldn't get rid of I'd take a very short, but hard puff and spit out the horrendous concentration of hot ashy liquid. It was terrible but it worked

    Plug knife - job specific or any old knife?

    If a fella were to gain an interest in plug tobacco (jackknife plug, PPP, etc) where might he find a plug knife? I've googled several times but all I get is reviews on jackknife plug. A lot of people seem to use what resembles an old school straight razor that barbers use to shave their...

    Shape preferences, is this normal?

    So, I've noticed that I have an EXTREME preference to round shapes, like prince, tomato, author, etc. I like looking at pipes of all sorts online and stuff, but when it comes to "would I smoke it", I only want the ones I've mentioned above. One of my main questions is, from what I can tell...

    Ponomarchuk pipes

    I'm a sucker for chubby pipes, and that one in the first picture is down right obese! I absolutely love it! I'm assuming its the same one in the second picture, but I think the black background hides the lines a little.

    Finish advice for Savinelli 320 KS

    I've got a 320 KS Tevere, and I absolutely love it! I'm not a "gold" person either, but as soon as I saw this one, I knew I had to have it! I have to admit, I have 3 complaints about it, one of which is my fault probably. One, the filter adapter doesn't exactly fit like I think it should...

    This is how I like to prepare my plug tobacco

    why on god's green earth did they deem it necessary to shred a box of tampons and then pads?? :scratch: I'm with Mark, they show all this stuff that it can shred, aluminum cans, pllanks of wood, leather belts and shoes, and then feminine hygeine products..

    a growing interest in nasal snuff..

    If you like Latakia blends I've got an ounce of bully budd and 5110 bulk from mcclelland. That's an ounce of each. I like Latakia but those are too strong for me. If you're interested in a trade PM me and we'll get it setup!

    a growing interest in nasal snuff..

    I have a growing interest in nasal snuff, and I have some questions regarding odering from across the pond. I've heard horror stories of folks making big orders, and having to wait weeks and weeks for it to go through customs, IF it even gets that far. Besides the shipping worries, I'm...

    New member - Starter pipes

    had an epiphony today with some VA flake...

    is epiphony the right word here? either way it was a very "a-ha" moment.. actually started a few days ago, but didn't come into fruition until this morning during the drive to work.. I bought a tin of Astley's 109 (medium virginia flake), a while back, and fought with it for half the tin...

    The Latest News From MM

    That is pretty awesome news! Its good to see a company that owns a particular niche (ie, the only company in the world to make quality cob pipes), and still not get big headed and comfortable with the position. What I mean is that I like how there's no competition, and they still take time to...
