    Topping a Pipe With a Cigar Cap

    Just wanted to share an experience I'm in the midst of having. About a month ago I picked up a cigar from a friend who had come into an excess of cigars and was looking at getting rid of some. He had an Arturo Fuente Churchill that caught my eye, said the cigars had around 10 years age and this...

    Pipe Tobacco For Walking

    I've noticed that when I take a pipe out for a walk that my smokes tend to be less than fantastic and some get downright harsh quickly, even on brief walks (such as going to get the mail). This is less the case with aromatics and even less with cigars (which I tend to default to if I want to...

    Sir Elton John is back to the basics.

    Just heard one of Elton John's new songs from his coming album The Diving Board. If half of the songs on the album are half as good as this, I believe it will be a crowd pleaser. It reminds me a lot of his first several albums which remain my favorites like Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across...

    Sad Story (Broken Tenon Help)

    Yesterday evening I was packing for a trip down home, had my pipes chosen for the weeks away and put them on my desk edge for easy packing. Ended up knocking them off the desk and stepping on one. Didn't realize what happened till later but by then I knew where the snapping sound had come from...

    H&H Darbyshire IPSD 2013 Blend

    Anyone try this yet or have a tin on the way (or already sitting on the shelf)? Got my package in today from P&C and the tin note is interesting. Thinking about smoking it tonight but don't know what to smoke it in, I think it's not flavored but can't tell by either smell or descriptions I've...

    Pocket Tin Tobacco Storage

    Not sure if this has been brought up before but I figured I'd share, especially after seeing the recent thread about the neat Wunup Baccyflaps. I started using this early December as a way to carry a few bowls worth of tobacco in my pocket when and where my tobacco pouch might've been overkill...

    Seltzer Water

    Big fan here, I end up drinking about a liter worth a lot of days. Eventually I'd like to invest in a system to carbonate my water at home. Wondering how many of you folks enjoy seltzer water, what brands y'all buy, how you drink it and if you have a home carbonation setup?

    Further down the cigar leaf pipe tobacco rabbit hole.

    Having tried John Patton's Storm Front for the first time a week ago and really really liked it. The only other cigar leaf pipe tobacco I've had was Billy Budd and while I liked it, it did not do for me what Storm Front did. So I'm wondering, there's more than a few cigar leaf pipe tobaccos out...

    Current "High Grade" (handmade) Kaywoodies?

    I was wondering if anyone had any opinions/experience with the newer "high grade" (handmade) Kaywoodies? I've never really had an interest in them before but one has recently caught my eye and has been on my mind for nearly a week, but I'd like to hear from some folks that have them. A better...

    Howdy Folks, Fellow Pipers

    Howdy folks, My name is Joseph, I've been a piper since November of 2009. First pipe was a corncob and first pipe tobacco was a rum cased house blend. Almost three years later I'm here nearing three dozen pipes and a daily piper. I picked up cigars about six months before touching a pipe, and...
