Hello brothers and sister (hi Amy Jo) Following the example of others on the board I tried an experiment today. I did a taste comparison of the three English blends I have the most experience with, which, consequently, are also my favorite: Westminster, Penzance & Squadron Leader. I loaded...

Never to young to start them down the right path. Just don't tell the Mrs.... :cheers: SWS

Hey Guys My 4 1/2 month old son has in the last two days started a sleep strike (he won't sleep more than a couple of hours in a row now). I was thinking about giving him some Dunhill Nightcap ;) but then I figured the misses might have something to say about that :evil: Hopefully today will...

Isn't there a song by that title? ;) Anyway, recently I returned to smoked pipes after taking a long hiatus while my wife was pregnant (the smell was too much for her) and for the first few months after my son was born (just no dang time or, strangely enough, no energy). I have finally...

Has anyone had experience with this retailer for purchasing tobacco? http://tobacco4pipes.com/index.html Cheers SWS

In my exploration of which tobacco blends I like, I can now put one blend, Captain Cool, in the definite yes column, and one blend, Autumn Evening, in the not so much column. The Captain Cool is everything I would want for a hot weather smoke. It has absolutely not bite, just a perfect amount...

I was wondering what books you all out there enjoy while smoking a pipe. I am currently reading Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander and, I have to say, that it goes very well with a nice bowl of Penzance. Cheers, Joshua I apologize in advance if there is already a thread on this topic

Okay gang, I have a novice question for you all, and boy do I mean n-o-v-i-c-e. When people refer to a pipe as a “good smoke” or a “bad smoke” what are people referring too? I have several pipes that I have inherited from my father and I have just begun collecting estate pipes. However, I am...

Here are the two estate pipes I mentioned in the pipes forum yesterday. The top is a Comoy's Monaco (French made) and the bottom is a GBD Congress, a line I have never heard of nor can find any information to date it. Both came with the original boxes and soft cases. They were only $35 each...

I am relatively new to estate pipe purchasing so any and all help would be much appreciated. Yesterday I purchased an un-smoked estate Comoy’s Rhodesian (1057). Does anyone have any information regarding dating you can help with. The pipe has the following information: it has ‘Comoy's Monaco’...

Hello All Yesterday I purchased an un-smoked estate GBD Rhodesian (9438). Does anyone have a guess as to a production date for the pipe? The pipe has ‘London England’ stamped on one side with 9438 below it and on the other side it has GBD circled with 'Congress' underneath. It has a gold metal...

Hello Brothers I am relatively new to estate pipe purchasing so any and all help would be much appreciated. I recently purchased a GBD Pedigree (9608) Poker (1970’s?) with a very cheep replacement stem. I am considering sending the pipe off to Tim West to get a more accurate stem placed on the...

Hello All I was at my local tobacconist today picking up some of the great recommendations everyone made for my 'Nighttime English Blend' post when I noticed tucked away in the far reaches where three tins of Dunhill Mixture 965. After reading so many reviews of the blend I knew I had to get...

Hello all. I am so pleased to find such a great site. I am relatively new to tobacco pipes. After sitting unused in a closet for over 35 years I finally convinced my father to give me his pipes. They still smell like the aromatics he used. Reminds me of growing up. I have four of the pipes...

Hello all. I am new to this form and am looking to you all for your collective expertise and knowledge. I recently inherited all my father's pipes including one of each GBD, Kriswell, Jeantet, Falcon, Ben Wade and 7 pipes made by S.M. Vottis. I have been able to find a wealth of information...

Hello all. This is my very first post. I am searching for recommendations for a nighttime English blend. I work an evening/night shift and as such do not get home until around 11pm and I am looking for an English blend that is smooth, not to much nicotine and something that would be a nice...
