Hello Brothers, I've been in here for a long time but I have been mainly inactive in the past few years.  I have a collection mainly consisting Italians, but a few Danes, English, etc., I am considering selling. For these, I took a reasonable (I think) guess at prices.  If you think I am...

Its a pleasant Friday morning here in the suburb that only naps.  Life has been extremely good lately, with the exception that I have not had an urge for a pipe in a very long time...until this morning.  It has been a cigar filled summer, but with some chill in the air it just seemed right.    ...

A year ago today, I was unemployed, struggling to figure out what to do with myself. I had made a stupid (in hindsight) career move in 2011. I was an independant "headhunter" for financial service firms all over the country. I went to a recruiting firm that promised the world and delivered...

Fast shipper, even though I told him I was going to be out of town, fast and fair, what more is there?

One of these new fangled ole time-ie membership barbers clubs opened up near my office. Does anyone know how much the memberships are?

I have a new job as a recruiter in a prominent financial firm in the (trying to be) swankiest downtown of the swankiest town around. Part of my job is to be seen in this area, meet and greet folks with potential for the firm. I have to wear a suit every day, which I don’t mind, but I also...

My nameless friend has been looking online and came across a couple home stills. The natural rebel in me my friend can't get this idea out of my head. I know it is illegal and would never do anything against the law, but the idea of being able to create my own gins, rums, and whiskeys is...

There seems to be a lot of new rums on the selves these days, any rum drinkers in here?

It seems as though spring in New England may be quickly approaching, and with a new house with a deck worthy of a ship of the line the cigar urge is stronger than usual. I happen to love the perfecto shape, AKA the Bugs Bunny style traditional cigar shape. Any suggestions for a quality perfecto?

There are a few pipe makers that also have their own brands and blends of tobacco. Besides Dunhill, does anyone smoke a pipe maker's blend in the pipe they made?

The Pipe; Claudio Cavicchi “C” Canadian I tend to avoid posting pipes or tobacco for two reasons, first, the senses are so subjective that I always feel like anything I write is more for the sake of writing than to bring anything of value to given brand, second, I am at a point in my smoking...

I am stuck in the office, and it will be a minimum of 5 and a 1/2 hours until I can smoke a pipe in peace, but I am craving Ashton Artisan’s blend in my Don Carlos, and seriously considering coming down with an afternoon flu. Any others suffering from involuntary delayed gratification syndrome?

I bought a Don Carlos 2 note recently from The Pipe Rack. In the description it said that the bowl was "slightly out of round," which put the pipe in my budget. Because of the defect they put a 6-month guarantee on it against burnout. The bowl is exactly what they said, and the defect is so...

I can't get enough of this guy. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KhcSEwWHYI4" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I am currently Reading, The Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown. As a Freemason I felt I ought to read it to know what all the hype is about, and now only half way through it I am dying to know if there are any other Brothers that have or are reading it and what they think of it.

I have had my eye on a few, a Don Carlos in particular, and was wondering f anyone had an opinion of the shape. I was wondering if they generally smoked good or bad.

Sense I awoke I have had several cups of coffee, the first, an espresso with the lusty torrent of bitters and sweets that recalls the darker places of the French Quarter in New Orleans, the second and third regular American brewed, black as the night and just as deep…all of them black and to...

I noticed there are a few box sets of Sherlock Holmes radio (I think) shows. I have a long commute and I thought it might be a good purchase. Is there any that are recomended or any suggestions to look out for?

I found the worlds only jazz bagpiper, Rufus Harley. Rufus sadly shed his mortal coil in 2007 but his music lives on, and on. I have been listening to him all day, to the dismay of my less sophisticates co-workers, and I am sold. I didn't know what music was until I heard the improve solo...

I am struggling to resist PAD because I’m house (and probably sooner than I want car shopping) but as the Buddha says, “all life is suffering.” I have been pining for Italian pipes all winter long and desperately want another Radice, more especially the 25th anniversary pipe, Clear, with the...
