    Processing Perique

    I'm not sure whether this has been posted before, but I found it informative and fairly interesting - from the folks at C&D <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7-oS8Ii5W0g" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" allowfullscreen ></iframe> Found this just afterwards...

    Cellaring C&D

    Hi all. I read a couple of nights back that the tins of tobacco offered by G. L. Pease, C&D and McClelland aren't vacuum sealed and consequently wonder whether they can be left in their tins to age. Also, if other tins are vacuumed, does the lack of air stop them from aging properly? Many...

    Any brothers from North London?

    I put down pipes for a while and consequently stopped using the forum. I'm very pleased to say that I've taken the beautiful hobby back up again and would like to meet other briar smokers if poss. I'm the only pipe smoker I know. Wishing you all peaceful puffs. PipedJimmy

    Best Aromatic You've Ever Smoked?

    Hey guys, I had a wonderful smoking experience this evening where pipe and blend seemed to work in perfect harmony. This isn't something I experience too often. I was trying a new to me estate pipe with Savinelli's Aroma lol thinking back now, the pipe is a Savinelli too, maybe that's why...

    Are tins fit for ageing?

    Heya, just got a tin of Savinelli Aroma through the post, and I could smell the tobacco through the tin. It made me wonder whether tins are adequate storage devices. This tin has a screw-top lid, and despite the fact that it is an aromatic and therefore more pungent, I'm sure I've been able to...

    Identifying a couple of pipes

    Hey guys, I recently picked up a couple of pipes at an antiques fair and I'm struggling to identify their origins. I only have a picture of one for the moment, I found it online, it's not the pipe I bought, but it's identical apart from the size of the letters in the brand stamp...

    New Pipe, Mario Grandi!

    Picked up this pipe from ebay (where else?) I know it's ostentatious but I love it! Think it's called a 'Rameses' think it'll bankrupt me in terms of tobacco though, the bowl is huge! https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/g/cdlfcwkkgrhquoki8ezwfcv.jpg/

    St. James Flake

    Hey guys, have been working with this blend for a while and due to reading posts from other smokers of this blend on this board, have unfortuantely come to the conclusion that I'm not getting the best out of this tobacco; is there a particular style of preparation whch benefits St. James Flake...

    Potentially the most annoying video ever

    Hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying it now!

    Two questionsa

    One, is there any particular reason I can't seem to find McClelland distributors in the U.K. (on the internet)? and two, I read somewhere that certain blends of tobacco don't react too well to relights as it gives them a bitter/ sour taste? I experienced this before but not as pronounced as when...

    New(?) Flake smoking method

    Hey guys, came across this video whilst absent-mindedly perusing youtube, hope its of use! Haven't yet tried it myself but it looked an interesting concept, and the article published on 'smokersforums' (sp?) is an interesting read https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl4XIcEF_yA

    How does the quality of a pipe work?

    Hey guys, a little thing I'm having a problem getting my head round; pipes by different makers do seem to share various characteristics in shape and stem, but what actually provides the difference in smoke? I can only think its to do with the quality of briar used, or the airhole and how its...

    A poem

    Linger on beside me, my ever faithful friend, Linger on as you would have done, had I not wanted to end, Do not pass me by, as you linger on in form For I am a restless spirit now, a warrior forlorn A man who lost his way, that ventured the beat and track Who could never find his home again, or...
