    Learning Lakeland TAD

    Flavor-wise it was great. Reminds me a little bit of a strong, spicy cigar. Maybe like a LFD double ligero? This is going to be a good sitting around the campfire smoke!

    Learning Lakeland TAD

    Had some work to do in the backyard so I grabbed my yard pipe and stuffed some of the dark flake unscented in it. This is only the third bowl I've smoked of anything since my stomach surgery at the beginning of January. About a quarter way in and dang! Very good stuff but it's kicking my...

    Learning Lakeland TAD

    I'm trying to pick which pipe to use for these. Is there a particular depth/width that is better or will any size do?

    Learning Lakeland TAD

    Display Cabinet of Pipes & Stuff

    I have a glass cabinet from Ikea that I use to display my pipes and such.  (I have to keep the window blind near it closed.  I'm looking for some good UV window tint to help with this.) I need to work on my cleaning/restoration pipe projects and make some room or move some items out. Overall...

    Temperature Controlled humi for Long Term Storage

    My wife got me a temperature controlled humidor for Christmas last year and I've about got it full already.  I'm mainly keeping boxes in it for longer term storage compared to loose sticks in my desktop humidor. I had to salt test and adjust the hygrometer in it but it's on the dot now and...

    Do you clean directly after smoking or let it cool?

    Wait, you guys clean your pipes? I kid, I kid. I usually run a pipe cleaner through while it's still warm. If I can't get the cleaner through I wait until it's cool enough to safely remove the stem. Depends on the pipe. After a pipe cleaner I wipe the inside of the bowl with a damp folded...

    New To Me Tadeusz Polinski

    I lost a bid on a Savinelli yesterday so when I saw this I decided I wasn't going to wait until it was too late and went ahead and pulled the trigger. This is my second pipe from Blue Room Briars. It was already shipped very shortly after the purchase was made. Quality people and service there.

    New To Me Tadeusz Polinski

    Ordered an estate pipe today. I'm not familiar with the maker but I took a chance based solely on the looks. BRB does good work with their photos and I thought this particular pipe was rather stunning. Hopefully it's a good smoker.

    Hello From Las Vegas

    Thank you all for the kind welcome. I made it to the WCPS briefly last year. I'm hoping to spend quite a bit of time there this year.

    Hello From Las Vegas

    Right now, SPC Plum Pudding SR is at the top of my list but I enjoy Balkan blends, English blends, and a variety of aromatics, especially those with noticeable rum. Another fav is Manil Le Petit Robin.

    Hello From Las Vegas

    As the title says, I'm from Las Vegas. I've been smoking cigars for close to 30 years and picked up a pipe about 10 years ago. I put my pipe down for a few years but started up again last year. Still learning about different blends but I have a few favorites. I can say the same thing about...
