I have found myself with several different tins open at the same time, mostly 50g tins, but some 100g as well, so I have a question for you more experienced pipers. As a general type rule, how long will an open tin stay "fresh" before you need to jar it. Same question, but with a larger zip...

After reading dozens of good reviews about some of their in-house blends, I decided to order three and try them. Hobbit's Weed; Sunset Rum; Bar Harbour. The guy on the phone was super nice and very helpful. I ordered on Thursday and had it the mailbox Saturday, so fast service. First, let me...

This has probably been discussed before, but I ran across it for the first time yesterday and thought I'd give it a try. If you Google "Frank Method" you'll get a three part youtube video on how to do this. Basically, I've been doing the three part method for years with good results, and...

I have a couple of pipes...actually three...that must have vulcanite stems, as they are easily discolored and get that "nicotine" stain on the bit quite easily. One is a bent apple that simply has the stamp "Made in England"...it's at least 30 years old and the stem is heavily oxidized, though...

I have been on a buying spree lately, trying to get enough pipes to be able to smoke a different one morning, afternoon, and a couple of bowls in the evening. I aquired a Radice 2010 Christmas Edition, which is a squat Rhodesian in shape, with a burgany colored "sea rock" finish on bottom and...

I recently won a pipe on Ebay (my third from Ebay), and can barely find any information on it. The only thing is a You Tube interview with the pipe maker, but it's all in German!! It's a new pipe, hand carved, and somewhat unusual in that the shank of the pipe looks like relieved tree bark...

I have several pipes, and most of them smoke well. However, there are a couple that I cannot run a pipe cleaner down without taking the stem out, so obviously something is out of alignment. It aggravates the devil out of me because I know it's a bad idea to pull the stem out of a warm pipe...

I have been smoking pipes on and off for years, but am now really "getting into" the hobby, both because I'm trying to kick cigarettes (Nat Shermans), and I find the pipe generally more enjoyable now that I'm retired and can smoke mostly at home. My question is probably going to be hard to...

Hi all...just joined after lurking a couple of days. I am 60 years old and have been smoking pipes on and off for 40 years or so, but only "seriously" the past few months. I have smoked cigarettes most of my adult life, with the exception of 13 years when I stopped entirely in my 40's. But...
