    What are you smoking?

    Gentleman Caller in my MM bent Legend. Boy am I glad someone decided to marry deer tongue and tobacco. Tastes like a freshly cut meadow.

    Hi There from MD

    Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I think there's a reason why I ended up on pipes. It seems that pipe smokers take their time to consider everything, and anything. In our fast paced world, that sensibility has diminished, and I felt the need to take time to enjoy the simple things. Pipe...

    Seems the Exotic Orange is almost as elusive as the Tambolaka! I *could* order it from Denmark, but...

    Hi There from MD

    I'm still an infant, but I have a few favorites for now. Favorite Pipes: old undated Wilmer estate that I've had for years. Stanwell freeform (don't know model), Peterson 303 bent Apple, MM bent Legend (also want one of the bent cobs MM made with C&D). fave Tobacco's (for now): PS Bullseye...

    I got some Bosun Cut Plug to try a lakeland style. I was blown back by the floral topping! The lakeland effect is definitely unique. I'd like to try the Ennerdale Flake and SG Grousemoor.

    Thanks for the suggestions! The Manil stuff sounds kind of bizarre, but in a good way. If I get some, the Brumeuse sounds like a good place to start. Which MacBaren standards do you suggest? I like strong flavors, and not opposed to aromatics. I believe everything has its place.

    I have just looked into Tambolaka, and it seems a fool's errand. With a half hour of Google-Fu, I only found reviews, and notices of it's availability up until 2016. It sounds right up my alley, so I'm notably disheartened that it's currently unavailable.

    Hi There from MD

    Hi all, new here. Haven't been seriously into pipes for very long. I've dabbled a bit over the years, but I finally decided to jump in. I'm enjoying this new hobby/ritual/activity immensely. I never realized what a rabbit hole pipe smoking could be, and I'm a glutton for a good rabbit hole. It's...

    Hydrating Tobacco

    I'm absolutely no expert, but I just tried this last week. I bought some Bayou Morning about a month ago from a jar in a B&M. It was pretty dry when I bought it, but it was way too dry for my taste after a couple weeks. I got one of those clay cigar hydrators, soaked it for a few minutes, and...

    Unique Blends

    Hi all, I'm new here, and just picked my pipes back up after tabbling in the sport a few years back. I've bought a plethora of different 'baccies in the last few months, most of which I've enjoyed. What I'm after are some singularly unique, and even weird blends. I enjoy one of a kind flavors -...
