    hey guys, anybody tried C&D Luciano? I'm looking for an Amaretto blend. Would go straight for the last 2 SG Limited editions but the reviews say the amaretto topping is absent. What about Sunset Breeze?

    Crowley's Peluke Molasses

    He had many parcels from America with boxes of chocolates (in them) when they were rationed here, and at one time he had boxes of chocolates stacked from floor to ceiling. And he had this very strong (peluke) tobacco made with molasses; and the smell of that tobacco stayed in the room for a long...

    No-Nik

    Hiya mugs, I recently acquired a NOS Savinelli Punto Oro. It came in the older savinelli box that's similar to the on they use now with different gold writing. On the side of the box it has a gold sticker in place that I just noticed that says "No-Nik". Now I've seen Sav No-Nik pipes here and...

    Gawith Hoggarth Perique

    Hey mugs, anybody smoked the blending Perique from Gawith Hoggarth? I seem to only care for Gawith tobaccos, and I'm not very fond of the Mcclelland perique i've got. I'm wondering if I would like this perique, it's only available overseas. I wonder why GH doesn't produce Perique blends, only...

    Gawith Hogarth Beacon Light

    I have been interested in Gawith Hoggarths history lately and apparently they bought out a popular tobacco brand who made Beacon Light and they reused the name for their own tobacco blends. Here are two tins I found on an antique tobacco tin collecting forum. On tobacco reviews, their are two...

    Dunhill draw

    Hey what do you hear what do you say! I've never owned a Dunhill, but I'm curious about the draw on them. I don't see it mentioned to often, although I've seen some say the draw is nice and open and others find them constricted. What is the draw like on the Dunhill's you have smoked? What about...

    Scored this Kaywoodie, it's a push, removable stinger! It says Bond Street and it's made in london and has the KW logo on the stem. From what i can gather, the London Kaywoodie's were made in partnership with comoy's. I'm not 100% on this as there is almost zero info. Anyone have any info for...

    Vanilla

    Has anyone tried GH vanilla flake? It's a really great tobacco with a heavy vanilla topping that comes thru in the taste. What's the best vanilla tobacco I should try? MB vanilla cream looks like it gets some positive reviews and others say it has no taste at all. What's the real deal? American...

    Cleaning Vulcanite Stems

    I like to wipe off my stem before or after each smoke with Clove Extract (67% alcohol). It usually works with no issues but I have some vulcanite stems that are being deoxidized. What should I use to clean them after each smoke?

    Yello Bole

    Hi mugs, I recently acquired some kbb yello boles and i'm wondering about the yellow coating. It seems like a strange gimmick...hey let's paint the bowl the yellow...and i'm wondering how great it is to smoke 60 year old yellow paint. I understand it's supposed to be honey cured...so did they...

    Whenever I see pipe smoking in and old movie or picture its always a simple pipe almost always a billiard I think, dark stained, no ring, just a straight simple no frills pipe, usually a good size bowl and and the stem probably around 5 inches. Why is so hard to find pipes like this? I have ONE...

    Coarse stem cure

    Hi brothers, I'm usually very cautious about bite marks on my stem but I have a favorite pipe where the stem has become very coarse at the mouthpiece. Is more a roughness than a bite mark really and I kinda think it might be due to drinking seltzer while I smoked yesterday? Is there anyway I...
