Ive got 3 meerschaums and i never had to go through a break in period in terms of getting the best smoke out of them. Im sure what youve heard might not be false im just saying i never noticed much of a difference. I prefer briars but to me meerschaums are way less maintanence

This would be the firewood lol

Ill post the pics up tomorrow Todd, it was kinda funny i was wondering why the package was so heavy lol

Yea he did make one like it before, i really liked the look of it so i asked him to make another one like it!

Just picked it up from the post office so havnt had a chance to take my own pics yet. Shes a beaut! Todds was pleasure to deal with, im already saving up to hit him up for another pipe!

The owner of the company as mentioned earlier does have very nice Upshalls for sale on ebay...i recently purchased an Astleys oompaul from him, his prices are quite good and the shipping is fast

I tried it again and its not bad as long as you use just a small piece...the only reason im doing it is because i bit my tongue really bad the other day and cant smoke for a couple weeks while it heals, otherwise id really rather smoke the stuff. Im pretty sure id black out if i chewed on a...

Hmmm...i did notice a couple chest hairs that wernt there before...lol

So i was cutting up some Samuel Gawith Brown no. 4 to smoke later, when on a whim i popped one and chewed on it. Turns out it actually tastes pretty damn good and got a nice nic kick. I dont think its for me though, the whole spitting thing is just way too nasty! Anyone else try this?

I just checked their website and a couple of their blends are available if anyones interested...they havnt had any stock for more than a year as far as i know.

A very good latakia blend that has tons of flavor and doesnt have a nicotine hit (to me anyway) is Esotericas Margate...also from Esoterica is Dorchester a virginia with a hint of perique. I do feel the nic in Dorchester but nothing major. And if you really like latakia, C&Ds Pirate Kake has a...

After much thought i picked up an Ardor, hope i made the right choice! Thanks to all you guys for your input! http://www.thepiperack.com/productimage.php?product_id=471 http://www.thepiperack.com/products/Unsmoked-Pipe%3A-Ardor-Urano-Fantasy-Dublin-Oom-Paul-%252d-HUGE-SALE%21.html At just...

Bout to pull the trigger on an Ardor, but before i do, does anyone own a Don Carlos pipe? I was looking at some of them online and they look very nice, but i dont own one and dont know how they compare to Ardors. Any advice?

I actually did contact Marty Pulvers once about an Ardor giant but it had just sold. I own two Brebbias, one is a first plum calabash that smokes great the other is an unsmoked collection freehand from the 70's i think which prob has the best grain of any of my pipes. Also if you're looking at...

Well after looking both brands up some more i like the looks of SJs better for the most part, as some of the Ardors are downright ugly. But what i noticed was a lot of people saying that the price of Ardors has gone too high, making them a high quality, but bad value pipe. Any idea what a...

Hey Sasquatch i will look that up thanks...any particular reason for the recomendation?

Yea i hear you man i wish i could get one of each too, but both brands can be kinda pricey. Life can be such a b#%ch sometimes lol

So in the two years that ive been smoking ive realized that i prefer italian and american pipes. Im looking to acquire one more italian made before moving on to american artisans, and the two brands im interested in (i dont own any of each) is Ser Jacopo and Ardor. So just looking to get any...

Its one of my favorite virginia flakes, if you like it, try Dan Tobacco Patriot Flake. Its the same except a little heaver and slightly sour due to a small ammount of orientals in it. If you really like HV and cant find it Dan Tobacco has a website (in german though) im sure you can order...
