I appreciate the direction folks. I will be doing some or all of the mentioned things.

Thanks guys. I guess my question was poorly articulated, I saw that there were some matches, and was interested in peoples experience with how they stack up to the originals. I will give some of them a shot, and see for myself and report back!

Gentlemen, I had walked away from serious pipe smoking for a year or two, I still smoked once in a while, and never lost my love for the leaf. That being said, I have been smoking a lot more lately, and my stock is running a little thin. Upon looking for some of my favorites, I have found...

Thanks very much folks. Time to dust off some pipes and get back to puffing.

Hello all. I was a pretty frequent lurker, and seldom poster a couple years ago. Got busy with life and fell away from the site for a while. I guess I am just making my return announcement, and can't wait to hear what you all have to say. Cheers!

Mr. Burley, All I can say about that is, you are more man than I. Every time I tried it, near instant regret

Eating before is a must for me on a cigar. as is the sweet drink, the previous poster nailed it. When I burn a stick, I usually do it after lunch on a weekend, and drink a Dr. Pepper of all things along with it. As with pipe smoking taking your time is a must as well. I will spend upwards of...

Hey folks, I have a pipe that I use mostly for fishing, and it had a very glossy finish on it when purchased. I didn't give a lot for it, so its not heartbreaking. anyway, that glossy finish is beginning (has long since begun truthfully) to chip off, and it looks pretty shabby. My question...

I feel your pain Brewdude, I live in Tacoma, and like to smoke outside sometimes. the accusatory looks, people give you when your harmlessly puffing a pipe on the sidewalk somewhere. You would think you spat in their faces. We have a pretty good collection of antique shops here in grit-city...

Sounds interesting. Do you think it tastes/smells chemical. I have had some aros in the past (CAO) that had a very un-natural chemical smell to them...not good.

Along the lines of others, a Lat blend does it for me. Naturally since we are talking about an evening blend, Nightcap, Nightcap and, did I mention NIGHTCAP? I just love this stuff, it is relatively new to me, but man-o-man does it toot my horn!

Probably has already been mentioned but the Savinelli 114KS fits that bill as well and i believe comes in a couple of different finishes, the one I like being the Marron Glace, the little brother of which (207) I already own and love!

Anybody else live in this area and know abou this? I sometimes sit in the park across the street from my apt and read and smoke. Apparently i have been breaking the law this whole time! :fpalm: This is rediculous, first businesses, now parks, next thing you know you wont be able to smoke on...

I would love to have a few more, I am a relatively new pipe smoker, newly venturing out of aros for the first time. I have a few on my to buy list, as the budget allows. I have my eye on a couple different Savs right now.

Ron, I have fewer than 7. three briars, and 2 cobs that i smoke regularly. and that is all she wrote.

Hey folks, I just received my Dwarf Cobbit, ( about 2 weeks ago actually) and I have been so busy I haven't even had a chance to look it over good until today. the issue, the mortise is not glued into (due to off line drilling) the bowl pretty severely out of square. is this pipe going to...

In light of all the wonderfully thoughtful posts on here. I am going to do just what has been suggested. smoke some MM cobs for a while, get a good idea of what I like in a size/shape/stem etc toy around, and save a little dough on the side, and probably have one built. I might buy the a...

Thanks Gents, I think I am gonna lean toward a straight or slightly bent Savinelli on this one. I did check out the Towne Crier, and there are some wonderful pieces in there, and I can appreciate them for what they are, and that is art. Ideally I would be buying a Nording Woodcock, but I...

Hola Comrades I have as of late been considering a brand new pipe acquisition, but I don't really know where to go for a purchase. I have been eyeballing some of the churchwardens from savinelli, or possibly a Nording Freehand or something similar. Any brands that you guys would make an...

Hello Brothers, I am primarily an aromatic pipe tobacco smoker, occasional unflavored straight up tobacco cigar smoker. I have not dabbled much in the english/untopped pipe tobaccos much. I ordered a tin of Dunhill's Nightcap on a suggestion from a friend. I had my first taste this evening...
