    Found a great deal on a Peterson

    On CigarBid I won a fresh Peterson Harp 150 for $79. I don't have it yet, so I lifted the image from SmokingPipes. I wanted a pipe that defines the basic bulldog shape. Also, this will be my first Pete, so I'm pleased. CigarBid has been my exclusive source of cigar box size purchases for years...

    If you could smoke only one blend....

    What would it be? I'll be visiting the retail outlet of Smokingpipes.com next week and plan to stock up on a variety. I'd really appreciate hearing from some of you veterans. I'll use your answers to help compile my shopping list. Please answer only with the name of blends that are readily...

    Cigar/Pipe lounges have become less friendly places?

    A decade ago everyone sitting at my local B&M's lounge was engaged in conversation. We discussed politics, news, stocks, sports, hunting, fishing, etc. Now the majority smokers are in their bubble paying attention only to their media device. Sometimes the lounge will be full and still be eerily...

    Savinelli question

    I want a Savinelli 320 (author) pipe. It wouldn't do for all my pipes to be as bulky or heavy, but I want just one. For my taste, it's the most handsome shape out there. My question is, what are the differences between a 320 KS and a 320 EX? Size? KS and EX abbreviations for what? Within the...

    A nice free shipping deal on tobacco

    Through Sunday, JR Cigar has free shipping on any size order. This is a chance to buy as little as one tin without having to meet the customary $99 minimum for free shipping. JR's selection is not as deep as the largest pipe e-tailers, but they have many of the respected brands at competitive...

    Educate me about filtered pipes

    Bought a pipe on ebay without realizing it was filtered. Please tell me about filters as I don't know enough to ask the right questions. Advantages? Disadvantages? Is a filter good one or many bowls? Any reason not to smoke the filtered pipe without a filter?

    Headed to Kansas for a week of bird hunting

    Going to north central Kansas to hunt pheasants and quail. I've never hunted pheasant, so I'm excited about that. My only concern is getting too cold as I'm a very thin blooded Southerner. I'm packing lots of down and wool.

    SmokingPipes.com charges sales tax

    What's the deal? My friend (a NC resident) was charged sales tax by SmokingPipes.com (a SC company). My understanding is that if the vendor does not have a physical location in the customer's State, collection of sales taxes is not required. Some large e-tailers have opted to collect in a spirit...

    Drew Estates Tsuge

    Anybody own one? If so, I'd be interested in opinions. There's one closing on CigarBid tomorrow with a current high bid of $121. Personally, the radical appearance is difficult for me to get past. A shotgun analogy comes to mind. A few years ago, Browning introduced the Cynergy over/under...

    Any other skeet/trap/sporting clay shooters here?

    Skeet is my game with an occasional round of trap or sporting clays thrown in for variety. Weather permitting, I go to the range twice a week and shoot 100 rounds on each trip. My primary clays shotgun is a Beretta ASE90 over/under with a Browning Citori for backup. I've never shot in formal...

    Would you buy an estate pipe from a pipe smokers collection?

    It's not unusual to see estate pipes offered from a pipe smokers that are "thinning the herd". From my limited experience I know that some pipes are good smokers and others are not. It's not necessarily related to price or beauty of the pipe. You can only know if it's a good smoker from smoking...
