This brother is so reliable, he's fast becoming my #1 source for aromatics!! A+. Shawn rocks.

Bros, What is your favorite hiking/river-running/fishing/hunting pipe? Mine is the ever-present Falcon with an additional bowl. Best,

Yesterday, while sanding out the interior of an old Falcon bowl (gently, with fine-grit paper) a sweet scent presented itself. Of course, I stopped sanding. Not a candy or sugar scent, but a tobacco-out-in-the-morning-going-fishing sweet smell... I hesitate to smoke it now... don't want to...

Old, well-loved Mercedes in for repairs... $$$. Grown son, coming back from Kalamazoo, MI to live with us for a while... Tax time not looking good for us this year. Yet... Family friend offered gratis use of nice SUV during repairs to Mercedes... Anticipating a father/son trip to Disneyland...

I used to carry an inexpensive (invariably plaid) roll-up tobacco pouch. Difficult to find these days. Tried several leather zip-ups and ceased because of the inconsistent seal. The zip-lock baggie works well, but... is a bit like a kid with a sack lunch. What is your choice? Just on your...

Todd Harris! You rocked this restoration! I'm an old guy and seldom use the term "rocked". In this case, no other adjective seemed appropriate... or is it a verb? Thanks and Best Regards,

Good Folks, I've been doing some pipe-related reading recently, which prompted a consideration of my own indiscriminate collection. I admire the "Connoisseur" pipe smokers who have the means to explore the upper-reaches of artisan pipe-makers... and I wish them well. I very much enjoy reading...

Thanks to those Brothers for the recent trades. You know who you are. Honestly, it was a load lifted... when I purchased that 1 and 1/2 pounds of Penzance, I felt... first of all, happy to have so much. Then... I felt selfish and ashamed of the hoarding instinct. Now I have more than enough...

Nice Peterson Calabash Rustic Fishtail arrived today. I like small pipes. This is a Dunhill Group 2 in size. Same family as my Belgique Rustic, a Group 1. Small pipes make my tobacco last longer, and I enjoy the handling of them. Used to be easy to post an image. Now, not so much, especially...

...but you Brothers are always here. Humble Thanks, Martin

I am very pleased in anticipation of shipping out a couple of packages to my Brothers of Briar tomorrow! Not so much for what I'll receive in return... mostly for the opportunity of sharing with others a bit of my good fortune. This avocation of ours is a wonderful thing, and is made more so...

I must confess... in a wrong-headed attitude, I purchased a very large quantity of "Penzance", just because it was available. I enjoy smoking this blend, but it is not the end-all and be-all of... anything. I enjoy smoking other tobaccos. Aromatics included. I wouldn't want to smoke "Penzance"...

Very pleased to have negotiated transactions with fellow BOB members for trade of tobacco and pipes. Where else could this have taken place on this earth, in this day and age?

Bros, I began smoking a pipe in the early 1970s. A friend and I (and this friend is my friend to this day) began by declaring the day after Christmas our personal "Pipe Day". At that initial day and declaration, we had ourselves a revel! Beer, a good meal, a trip to a local B & M for pipes...

Brothers, As you can see from my profile, my 40 years as a Pipeman have been peppered with a taste for tobaccos that for one reason or another have become discontinued or difficult to come by... "Amphora" "Balkan Sobranie" (The Original). "Field and Stream" "Skallorna" "Penzance" Hmm. I...

Cellard today: 1 Pound of Penzance. An additional 8 oz. In the Tobacco Jar. Happy? Silly question. Best Regards,

Bros, Recently tried the above product after many years of smoking Falcons sans Dry Rings. First impression... seems to impede draw. Your experience? Best,

In private, I smoke Penzance and other English blends. In public, aromatics. I am happy to be finally out of the closet. Best,

Any of you brothers receive a pipe for Christmas (or your preferred Holiday of the season)? Graphics appreciated. Myself? Unfortunately, no. Cheers,

Your preferred "Brick and Mortar", whether in person or online and why? Mine is "Telford's" in Mill Valley, CA... a huge selection of estate pipes in almost every price range. A Very Peaceful Day to You Brethren,
