McClelland No 5110 Dark English in my Pete red spigot XL23

I have now started on a path that will likely end.....well, when the money's all gone. A coral bulldog 5X

Frog Morton's Cellar in a Tinsky bulldog

I cannot smoke in the house, even in the unfinished section of the basement, so I am outdoors. The winter was long and this spring has been cold, but there has been a dry spell that has allowed me to enjoy the patio with my pipe, watching the fire

Last night it was Frog Morton on the Bayou n my Pete System 314

I have used matches, Zippo and even those long butane stix - but I have upgraded to an Old Boy and I am pleased. The crap spring we have been having has meant cold and wind - but the flame on the Old Boy still comes alive and gets down into the bowl without an issue. It was more than I...

McClelland's Ashton Revival: Brindle Flake in my Tanganyika Kilimanjaro. I left the tobacco out for about an hour to dry prior to smoking, it was still tacky as I rubbed it out. It was a slow burning and powerful smoke.

Peterson Irish Flake om a Peterson 80S rusticated spigot

I have always leaned towards whisky - either scotch or bourbon for pairing with my smoke. I haven't explored other sipping liquors; like quality brandies or cask grade rums. Should the weather EVER decide to become warm or at least dry - perhaps I will give those a try. I am strictly an...

Has anyone tried FoodSaver vacuum sealing bulk tobacco? I find that it works great for its intended purpose, so using it on tobacco seems reasonable

A little salt, a little alcohol and some english blend - it wont remember Captain Black's name

That is quite a pile of estates! I bookmarked that site, just in case a must have pops up

You cant find those strike anywhere in Mass, but last time I was in NH for vacation I bought 4 boxes of the Diamond Greenlight strike anywhere. I agree that the "anywhere" part isnt exactly the truth, but I smoke outside and the pavers or fence are rough enough. Next time I am passing through...

No, I am a cigar / pipe smoker only and even those arent quite as frequent as I would like. When I fire up a stogie, I use the butane torch and it works like a champ. For the pipe, I tried using the Zippo and when it is full I like it - but if it sits for 2 - 3 days the fuel evaporates. I...

Any add'l thoughts on the Xikar Resource or Pipeline lighters? I grow tired of having to top off the Zippo everytime I try to use it and tilting the Bic is getting old, too. I have used a torch a couple of times, but I know that is just a scorch mark waiting to happen. The IM Corona is just...

I am partial to the blast finishes, esp the dark, but over time I could see having a tan blast in the stable. I have seen pictures in other threads of natural finishes adopting a honey gold look from the tobacco, much like a meerschaum. Just got to finish the taxes to see how much Uncle Sam...

I don't know why, but that made me laugh out loud here at work

Bumping this thread to see if OP ever pulled the trigger on a Tinsky. I have a chronic case of analysis paralysis on Tinsky pipes - there are 3 models that I am torn between - and "buy all three" isn't an option. Christmas 2011 ASP POY 2012 BoB POY 2012

I have struggled to get through a bowl of Brindle Flake, but perhaps using a smaller bowled pipe was a contributing factor (the other is not letting it dry for a bit) Hopefully the weather this weekend will allow for a trial in a larger scale bulldog
