    Matches

    I've found myself using matches, over lighters, with increasing frequency to smoke my pipes lately. All I can find at my locally though is the terrible, thin, and anemic green tipped variety of matches that became ubiquitous somehow. For some reason the "strike anywhere" variety is nowhere to...

    GL Pease variation

    I've only smoked a few tins of GL Pease, Haddo's delight, and Six pence. I loved them both from the first bowl and finished them in record time. I ordered another 2 oz tin of six pence before I really stocked up and it tastes completely different from the first tin. It has noticeably less flavor...

    Aromatic burley blends

    Been venturing into more burley-centric blends after smoking some HH burley flake and GH rum flake this month. I'm really loving the rum flake, the HH flake is excellent but just a little too monotone for me. I have smoked a bunch of blends with some burley in them and am not a huge fan of...

    Tobacco reviews

    What does everyone think of the new tobacco reviews website? I had no idea they were changing it till yesterday when I tried to log in. I mostly just use scroll through it when I'm trying a new blend to find tasting notes. I think its cool they added a forum, but I am pretty dissapointed in the...

    Looking for help- falcon pipes

    Hey all, I recently got 2 falcon pipes in very poor condition (or as it's called on Ebay, perfect mint condition). I have never worked on a metal pipe before and am in the process of restoring them so I was hoping some of you experts had some tips on sealing these things up? I was planning on...

    Mason Jar Rack

    I have been looking for a cheap-ish rack/display for my mason jars for about 2 months now, to no avail. How are there not mason jar racks anywhere!? My wife had an idea a while ago to start making gerbil cage toppers (you can see one almost complete in the background) and with the scrap wood I...

    New pipe!

    My wonderful wife had this under the tree for me this morning! I have never tried a churchwarden or a Sav before and they added up to the best smoking pipe I have ever had the pleasure of using. I've had a crush on this girl since I was 9 years old, and she is still my favorite person in the...

    Pressing matters

    My second attempt at pressing tobacco, I was getting fed up with all the pouches I had that I knew I would never get around to smoking again. I would rather smoke something I know I like than endlessly sample different tobaccos. With that said I have decided to consolidate a bunch of my tobaccos...

    Cigar Bid

    Has anyone used Cigar Bid to buy pipe tobacco? They are selling an 8oz can of Seattle pipe club's Plum Pudding for as low as $24 right now (usually over $50 other places). Naturally they don't have a lot of pipe tobacco, but what they do have sells for ridiculously low prices and as we all know...

    My first pipe, restored

    As the title says this was the first pipe I ever bought ($20 basket pipe), and the shank cracked after about a month (I had a backup before that happened thankfully). After a while in this hobby, I learned about military mounts and couldn't find any for sale that looked like they actually used a...

    Colored pipes

    I am a big fan of the way the old colored Dr. Grabow dukes and similar bright colored enameled pipes from the 60's-70's look. I am wondering if anyone knows of a decently priced (below $100) line of pipes that has different kinds of colors available? I have searched high and low and can't find...

    Hello all!

    Just joined the forum, I am a relatively new pipe smoker in southern Oregon and open to any advice on technique, pipes, or tobacco (including where to buy because there are no good shops around me!)
