I rarely buy, even more so these days since I do not smoke much, but I could not let this Rad get away. I think my collection is finally done, as Rad was the last carver I really wanted to own. [url=https://servimg.com/r/3717147301/rad310.jpg]<img...

Still living halfway across the world, but I've been accepted into a graduate school here to pursue a psychology degree. I'll finish within a year and continue teaching and counseling locals here. Some major issues present here in regards to mental and emotional health. Think about you all...

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. My wife and I have been in the States for about 7 weeks now. We head back to Kenya in 1 week from tomorrow. We have also signed on for two more years of service in Nairobi. It is always a hard thing leaving family and friends behind over and over again. I don't...

I figured it might be time to start discussing what blends became available in February 2007 or later. The latest FDA regulations could spell doom for them in the next year or so. Simply provide a simple list of those you know came after the specified date. I'll begin the list by naming some of...

I was perusing SP's site for deals when I came across this lovely paneled poker: https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/estate/italy/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=185315 I was half tempted to buy it because '87 is my wife's birth date, but I can't swing it at the moment. If anyone has been looking...

As can be deciphered from the photos above, the blend is exactly what it says it is: red and golden Virginia tobacco (flue-cured) with a sampling of perique (i.e. "the rare condimental leaf"). The first scent one will catch when first popping a tin of Greg's new creation is that of bourbon (i.e...

I'm in the market to get a fixed blade knife. We return to the States early in June and I'd like to bring one back with me for utility purposes. I am currently considering this Case knife: here. Does anyone have any suggestions? To be honest, the case knife is a little expensive, but I have...

Supposedly the establishment has been targeted as a "test case" for some form of legislation. They are currently unable to ship any form of pipe tobacco to those who order it online. Shipping tobacco is no longer tolerated under this supposed legislation. Anyone know anything about this...

It has become a tradition for me to round up some photos of the pipes I bring back with me every time I go overseas. Seeing as I cannot bring all of my pipes, I usually narrow it down to 4 I have not brought yet and bring them. This, then, allows me ample time (at least a year) to get to know...

Has there been any talk about the 2015 BoB POY? I doubt I can participate, but I was just curious. It was announced about this time last year.

Is there any interest in blends like And So To Bed, Margate, and Pembroke? I know a guy who has several bags of each (like a dozen or so total). Now, I obviously have very little $$ to spend, but if there is interest I might consider prying it all from his hands.

In t-minus 10 days, my wife and I will be making the trek from Nairobi, Kenya to Cincinnati, OH. We'll be in the States for a couple of months, which we are looking forward to a great deal. We'll basically be traveling from Cincinnati to North Alabama, to Orlando, and so on the entire time.

Well, it is official. I received my degree audit today. I will be graduating from seminary in May of this year, meaning I will be returning to the States to receive my degree in hand. It's been a long four years, but it has been an experience in which I will never take for granted. I just wanted...

As many of you know, my wife and I live in Kenya 9-10 months out of the year as missionaries. I am, of course, unable to bring all my pipes and tobacco with me simply because it is impractical and illegal (the tobacco part).  I am allowed 500gr upon arrival and any time I leave the country and...

Hey guys! Long time. It's been crazy since I've been back in Kenya. In any case, my wife and I have been gifted a trip to London for Christmas. We'll be there a couple of weeks, traveling and what not. I am looking to pick up some JF Germain stuff while I'm there, particularly Special Latakia...

I stepped out for a bit while I was back in the States to visit friends, family, and attempt to raise support for my wife and I. We are now back, safe and sound, in Kenya. Hope you all had or are having a great summer!

I noticed a tin of Penzance had lost its seal. I opened it to find this white, powder colored substance "sprinkled" throughout. It smelled like tobacco should smell and was not overly pungent, like mold often is. It also was not fuzzy or hairy, at least from what I could tell. I know this has...

Remember that crazy package that turned up out of nowhere months ago. Well, here it is in person (finally in the States to see it). There are other things in the photo I purchased either months and months ago, or a day ago (Condor). There two older Coronas too...not sure who gave those away...
