    SG FVF in the UK

    Hey Brothers, Does anyone know if tins of SG FVF are readily available in the UK? We have a data center outside of London, and one of my peers is going in 2 weeks. I'm wondering if I can give him a whole bunch o' cash to bring some back for me? Anyone know of any issues there? Thx, -L

    GLP Maltese Falcon

    Hi, Ummmmm............O.K., I know I'm a neophyte, but I just ordered a few various tins from Smokingpipes.com. One of which was a tin of Maltese Falcon. Another was a tin of Dunhill's Nightcap. I don't know if it's because of the Latakia, but is it just me, or does anyone else find these...

    Resting......a.k.a. "beating a dead horse"

    Hi All, O.K., o.k......G-d only knows how many threads there have been about resting your pipes, and believe-you-me, I've read quite a few, but alas, I am going to flog that ol' expired horse nonetheless. So, I've been smoking my Kirsten's for about a year now, and don't get me wrong, I...

    Latakia & Perique

    Yo! Wazzup???!!!!!??? So, I was jes' reading in the forum, and methinks I originally had it backwards. I was *originally* under the impression that the deep, earthy, camp-firey, smokey aroma/flavor was the perique, but apparently, that's the Latakia that I'm smelling? If so, me likey...

    Where to begin?

    Hi, I'd like to take a crack at pipe carving, but have no idea where to start? I have a dremel that barely ever gets used, so I thought that would be something good to have. I've also seen the pre-drilled kits too. Are there any good books or videos that anyone can recommend? I have...

    Enjoying my new Kirsten Pipe!

    Hi, I have to say, I am a HUGE fan of Kirsten's. I own four of 'em two straight's and two bent's. A.)Cleaning them is nowhere near as much of a P.I.T.A. as a "regular" full briar. B.)The mere fact that you can dump out the dottle by simply pulling out the little chamber for it makes the...

    'Nother New guy from Washington State

    Hi Danny, I was pretty ill yesterday. I rode 535 miles in driving rain on Saturday on my Harley, and ended up with a very nasty sinus infection. I actually meant Virginia's, not Burley's. The Burley's I know. As previously mentioned, I'm all good with the Erinmore and the SWR. Thanks...

    'Nother New guy from Washington State

    Hi djf1, Any recommendations? As far as Burley's go, I've tried SWR, and Erinmore flake. They weren't half bad. Burley has a very prominent "nuttiness" to it. -L

    'Nother New guy from Washington State

    Hi Metropolmodern, I currently have 4 Kirsten's. Two full bent, and two 1/4 bent, but I just ordered a Mario Grandi. I just love the interesting shapes associated with freehands. Thx, -L

    New guy here from WA state

    Hi Brewdude! Where you at? Pyramid? Red Hook? Hale's? Saying you're a Brew Master at the local Microbrewery is like saying you're a Barista, only given some of the coffee I've had here (I don't drink anymore, so I'm a wee bit of a coffee snob now. Viva la Caffe Vita!!!!), I'm sure you're...

    'Nother New guy from Washington State

    Hi, My name's Laurence, and I'm relatively new to pipe smoking. I've been at it for about a year now. I've predominately been smoking Kirsten's since I live in the Metro Seattle area, and they're right here, plus the fact that I'm an I.T. guy and totally dig the engineering and technology...
