The pipe's new to me, purchased from a member of BoB, and I like it better than he did. DO have to remember to keep is tilted down or there's a little snorkling with this dampish tobacco, but it's a nice smooth draw-er, for sure. This pipe will go in my regular rotation for sure. Works well...

I hope this isn't out of band... Just ran across this pipe at a reputable vendor, from a reputable pipe maker. It's described as "seams", isn't this just an attempt to pass off a cracked pipe? Though it's at a decent price and all doesn't "cracked pipe" = bad...

Yet another phenomenal catch from some kind soul, this is one of my favorite blends to date! This one looks like it had been cellared for a bit, as the tobacco had heavily stained the cardboard lining in the C&D tin, so I don't know if this stuff is this amazing fresh, but I'll be finding out...

Medium to heavy flavor, I like the plug format, letting me cut off however I want it cut. Burns super well, stays lit, not too hot. Flavorwise, it's a medium + , not a lot of complex flavors I'm picking up, but it's pleasant. Would really go great with some scotch to sort of clean the palate...

I got a big bag of this stuff in my bombing, so of course I had to try it first. Could definitely use a good bulk easy smoking blend. It was a little drier than my preference, but that's easily curable. The cut is coarse, which works well to keep lit. It lights well and stays there. The...

Some kind soul sent me a bag of this one, and I'm just sitting down to enjoy it. Not my favorite pipe, but it's resting and I'm giving them all a turn lately. I really like the full flavor of this one. Good mouthfulls of smoke, even burn. My powers of description right now completely fail...

Well, I've had it for a few weeks and cleaned a dozen or so pipes, and wanted to post my review of the pipe cleaning retort I bought off of Ebay. The system is basically a test tube with a stopper that's hooked up to a rubber hose. You fill the test tube with alcohol, attach the hose to the...

When moving around some furniture, I found a box from a decade ago with a dozen tobaccos and my barely used Peterson Killarney with p-bit. Nice gift from earlier me to newly piping me! I kind of want to take the varnish/poly or whatever off the peterson, will look that up. --Alex

After some talk about cigars versus pipe I want to try actually smoking a cigar in a pipe for the heck of it. Yes, I agree it's probably going to be awful, but I'll live. How best to cut it? Would just slicing it thinly from the end be the same as "circus roll"? (I have yet to look up how to...

Liking it a lot. Unfortunately I drove too fast to work and had to stop in the middle of end, the best part! --Alex

Hello all, Got my Savinelli 603, bent smooth, in the post yesterday, and the bit slips right out, won't hold the pipe up. Did a little research, waxing the tenon didn't help noticeably, wiped it clean and put on nail polish. The tenon has the metal spear thingy in it, so can't do the...

I waver back and forth about Royal Yacht, whether I like or love it. I think much of this has to do with my getting off of cigarettes, and the N content is high, so if I'm fiending for my N, I really love RY. Regardless, I do find I really like the perfectly even ribbon cut of my 3 dunhill...

Burns evenly and well. Unfortunately like a lot of tobacco, I find it's pleasant at the start, but the last minute or two are fantastic and don't last. Good stuff, I think I just need a 4" deep bowl :) --Alex

I'm looking for someplace to get some sort of cap or cover to put on my pipe, unlit, when I am carrying it in my travel case. For pre-packing or after a smoke to contain ash after cooling. I could just pick up the right-sized rubber plug at home depot or something, just figured I'd ask. Still...

Greetings ye brothers of briar! Um yah, enough of that. I've smoked pipes before but not in a couple of decades and not too much then. I'm also getting off the cancer sticks in the process. I tend to jump in with both feet and have a half dozen pipes and tobaccos thus far, as well as bags...
