Merry Christmas everyone!. Recently found this audio recording of a book I've read a few times over the years. It's even set on Christmas eve so it's appropriate for the season. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j2_bLEqmBi0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy"...

I just got an Email from Walker Briar works saying they are back in the business of making forever stems for MM Cobs. I'm happy to see this because a forever stem changes a cob from a cheap burner into a wonderful smoking machine. Link is:  http://www.walkerbriarworks.com/html/forever_stems.html...

I recently returned from a 2 week trip to Hong Kong with a 1 week trip to Huizhou China in the middle of that. I thought I'd write a trip report for the enjoyment or perhaps boredom of everyone here and maybe share a few pictures as well. </a> I took a empty 50gram tin filled about 1/2 way...

The old joke goes, the 2 best days in a boat owner’s life, are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. My experience was completely different. The day we bought our boat I was excited but also seriously nervous, wondering if we were wasting money on something that wouldn’t see much use...

I saw LordTemplar's thread about his artwork and I decided to copy his idea and share some of my artwork with my fellow pipe smokers. First off is a graphite work of a restored mill in a local park near Raleigh NC. I'm pretty proud of this work since the park has an annual art contest and this...

I recently completed a trade with DramaTwist and I couldn't be happier with the results. He is a stand up guy and I'd be more than happy to deal with him in the future!

I just got an order from Smoking pipes.com and I noticed on the invoice that I was charged sales tax. I sent them an email quizzing them about it and I was told that since they merged with Cordell and Diehl, they now have to charge sales tax when shipping to NC. It's not the tobaccopocolypse...

I just woke up to the smell of roasting turkey. I'm thankful for my wife that will wake up early to get the cooking started. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I just picked up a tin of Dunhill's Elizabethan Mixture after its rerelease in the US. I have to admit, I was enticed to buy it based on the cool label art as much as anything else, but I generally like VaPer's so I figured it would probably agree with me. Tin note - When I cracked the seal...

I just started watching Endeavour on PBS and I'm really enjoying it. It's an English murder mystery set in and 1960's and it traces the roots of Inspector Morse as a young police constable. One thing that surprised me about the show in these politically correct times is the fact that they show...

I was intrigued by the US rerelease of Capstan since one of my favorite online vendors has been hyping their exclusive deal to distribute it first. I wanted to give it a try even though it may not be the same as the Capstan of years gone by. Call me a sucker for marketing. I also decided to...

I have a Meerschaum billiard style pipe that I've owned for a couple of months and I've been smoking it pretty regularly to get it started coloring. Well lately I've been noticing that it has a distinct, slightly unpleasant smell, especially when it gets warm while smoking. It's a strong enough...

I'm hoping to get some guidance in my tobacco shopping. I've recently discovered Dunhill's My Mixture 965 and I really enjoy the flavor I get from it and I was wondering if the brotherhood can recommend other blends that may be similar? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone! Just found this board and thought it looks like an interesting place to chat. I've been smoking a pipe for about 2 years now, so I know some things but still have a lot to learn. Shawn
