Anybody have much experience with Franklin-Christoph pens?  They seem to be very highly regarded with everything I've read on the web.  They're almost exclusively sold direct from the company, with occasional special or exclusive editions sold through retailers. They have a number of models...

So my parents aren't really fond of my pipe smoking... I mean they can appreciate the art in some of the pipes, and the desire to slow down and enjoy life's quiet moments. But neither of them smoke and can't get past the undertones of health risk etc. My mom has made it clear there will be no...

Anyone know who makes the Rattray's Vintage Army series of pipes?

My wife and I are going on vacation next week in Door County, WI and I'm hoping to convince her that a stop by Uhle's is a worthwhile use of time. I am hoping to get "Blend 00" and "Perfection Plug". What else? Are there any other "must buy" blends? Adam

Over the past year I have been smoking almost exclusively Virginia based blends, whether it’s a straight VA, blended with Turkish/Orientals, Burley/KY, Perique, or any combination of the above. I just can’t seem to stomach Latakia anymore. About the most I can do is GL Pease Fillmore but even...

Has anyone given these blends a try? I’ve read Jim’s reviews, which are great, as always (thanks Jim!). So far I have tried Bluegrass, Blue Ridge, and today opened a tin of White Lightning. Bluegrass is good but the dark fired isn’t something I can smoke all the time. Blue Ridge is very good...

This product was openly recognized by the manufacturer to be at least 20% contaminated by mold and sparked a total recall of all 2400 tins produced. I think the folk's at Laudisi, Cornell & Diehl, and SmokingPipes.com have showed incredible grace and integrity in dealing with the openly...

Without any doubt, Fall is my favorite season. Today I was driving home from work, enjoying a bowl of John Patton Dark Horse and thinking how this blend is a fitting representation of the changing weather. I'm trying to find a few blends that fit nicely into a rotation for this Fall. Does...

Anyone have experience with some of the less talked about Italian makes? I am a huge fan of Italian aesthetic, and in particular I've been taken by the finish and prices of some of the less talked about Italian makes. So if you own, have previously owned, or otherwise have input, by all means...

A tip of the hat to Scottie for her debut on SmokingPipes :cheers: Congratulations! Some deserving recognition for her ingenuity and attention to detail. I've always had a fondness for the pencil-shanked Scottie pipes, but that classic swan-necked bent billiard is absolutely beautiful. AC

Received a package the other day from BlackHorse, a gift of several fine fountain pen inks, two packs of a new and sold out, as well as another rare and highly sought after fountain pen ink cartridges! Layering the top of the box was a selection of various colored Jinhao fountain pens for me to...

Recently acquired my first snuffs from another brother, and now I'm wondering if it's totally necessary to store snuff in the refrigerator?

Had the opportunity to trade tobacco with BriarBeagle, received a generous sample of tobacco! Very pleasant interaction and would be happy to engage in future transactions

Anyone planning on attending? I live about an hour away, and plan on being there maybe today, definitely Friday and Saturday.

Just released today (or re-released?) as many of you are probably aware from the email SmokingPipes sent out. Cornell & Diehl: Straight Up English - Father the Flame Since I didn't get in on the first iteration of this tobacco I'm going to give it a shot this time around. Did anyone have a...

I have never wanted to buy a pipe more than right now..... as they put it on smoking pipes The Anti Badger Subterranean Torpedo pipe

So I've been combing through the eBay auctions lately, and stumbled across a Dunhill Shell Briar 111 F/T 3S from 1967... it appears to be in pretty good condition apart from the single tooth mark on the stem. I'm a little concerned the seller may be buffing the stem and stummel separately...

Currently on eBay there is a Comoy's second, The Guildhall shape 309 Canadian, and it's going for a great price, currently $10 plus shipping... the seller says it comes with a 3part C stem... did the guildhall pipes originally have a comoy's stem, let alone a 3 part C stem? I thought they...

So what C&D bulk blends are people stocking up during this sale? I have limited experience with Cornell & Diehl - I've smoked Bayou Morning (always seems to have a bitterness mid-bowl that puts me off...), Old Joe Krantz, Haunted Bookshop, Engine 99. Also am almost out of Epiphany. I really...
