Note:  This will be in the lounge.  If you arrive late and the shop has closed, come around to the side entrance.  BYOB.

We had a total of between 50 and 75 people show up for the first pipe event at Tobacco Cabana in Cedar Hill TX.  It was a gathering of the pipe clubs with all 3 DFW area clubs represented as well as Austin and Waco.  Local pipe carvers Colin Rigsby, Bob Gilbert, Ryan Alden and Bill Walther, a...

There will be a Pipe Fest July 25 from 1pm to 7pm at Tobacco Cabana in Cedar Hill TX. There will be a slow smoke contest in the late afternoon with the 1st prize being a wonderful straight bulldog pipe carved by award winning local carver Colin Rigsby.  The entry fee is 30 dollars and that gets...

We are in plans for a local pipe event sponsored by Tobacco Cabana in Cedar Hill in July or early August.  Colin Rigsby probably already knows everyone, but if you are a local pipe maker interested in coming and showing/selling your pipes please get in touch.  Tobacco Cabana have agreed to let...

I'm not sure I'm going to make both of these, but I'm going to try. The first is The Briar Club tonight 5/19 at Cigar Frogs in Denton at 7pm. The second is DFW Pipe Smokers on 5/21 at 7pm at Taboo Cigar bar and lounge in North Richland Hills. Thought I'd give the heads up. I've been trying...

I see people posting Larsen pipes for sale that they claim definatively were made by Former or Teddy Knutsen or one of the other carvers who went on to individual success. How do they know? I don't see on pipedia or pipehil a way to date them and then if you could, how would you tell which...

My local shop has started carrying pipes by a brand new carver. I really like 2 of the pipes, but I have a hard time spending more than I've ever spent on a pipe before on a brand new carver. What should I watch for besides drilled properly and passing a pipe cleaner. Both pipes look great...

It is always fun when this just happens and there are more pipe smokers than cigar smokers in the tobacco shop.  It happened again this weekend.  I showed up and was the only pipe smoker.   Then 2 guys I had never seen before showed up and 1 started with a cigar and then switched to pipe while...

I bought a Sav Autograph the other day which has the proper Autograph stem without a filter, but the stem appears and feels like acrylic. I thought they switched to all filter stems when they switched to acrylic. Am I wrong? Or is this not acrylic and I'm just wrong about the material of the...

Hopefully this works.  Should show my favorite Preben Holm.

At Tobacco Cabana in Cedar Hill Tx.  We had 14 people from my count last month with only 3 days notice and only word of mouth.  From the Newsletter: "The Cabana Pipe Club This past month we had our first meeting of the Cabana pipe club. We had so much fun and the aroma in the lounge was...

I'd heard this before, but never thought it would be this dramatic. I bought a Tim West estate pipe at the same time I started trying Burley Perique tobaccos. So I naturaly dedicated it to them. It smoked so wet I was ready to either sell it or send it for repair. Before I did something that...

We had our first semi official pipe meet up at Tobacco Cabana in Cedar Hill TX.  Looks like it may be a monthly thing.  One of the guys just yelled out during the Cowboy's game SUN that Wed was pipe night.  We had at least 14 people show up. I think at least 3 of them were smoking a pipe for the...

The VaPer thread got me thinking. Are there any good Burley Perique blends? Especially ones heavy on Perique? It can have othe condiment tobaccos, even latakia as long as it has the nutty burley flavor and the spice of Perique forward in its charecter.

Does anyone know of a list of the various lines of pipes and years produced. I have found the info on pipedia, but it is very incomplete. Even when cross checking with the Ben Wade name and others. I found bits and pieces elsewhere as well, but not complete. I know the Private Collection...

I'm new here. Been smoking a pipe for about 3 years. Prefer heavy perique blends. So far prefer Danish freehand style pipes. Own 2 Preben Holms. A Radice, a Neerup, an old leather covered Italian, and a no name drugstore pipe. Hang out at Tobacco Cabana here in Cedar Hill some. But mostly...
