    What led us to pipes?

    My first time is when I was 12. My buddy's mom was a hippie from the late 60s to the 70s so she had a different way of raising children then how my mother was, which was with a belt lol. My buddy Lenny came over my house and said "hey, my mom got me some pipe tobacco and a corn cob pipe, wanna...

    My latest Peterson

    I'm curious to what the bowl smelled like coming from over seas. 12 years ago I bought a Longchamp billiard from Greece. I was new to ebay at the time so I didn't look at where it was coming from lol. Anyway, when I got it in the mail it had the most fabulous aroma in the bowl. It was a cross...

    Inflation or gouging

    Yeah, it's a bit cut throat on there. I've been seeing the same people on there buying up a lot of tobacco. Kind of strange that someone wants 10 tubs of Borkum Riff Whiskey and 15 tubs of Captain Black Cherry, then I'll see the same person bidding on all the tins of Peterson Hyde Park, then he...

    Oh wow Jim! I actually have a box of GW that's unopened. A buddy of mine acquired two boxes and sent me one. I was contemplating on opening it and rehydrating it if it were to need it, and try it out. I couldn't bring myself to open the box. I know it was discontinued in '74, the year I appeared...

    I'll add the Two Timer to my next bulk order. I've been enjoying Pegasus and Winchester lately as my morning and afternoon smokes. I was a loyal Prince Albert smoker but after about 5 years of PA I started craving something stronger. When I started pipe smoking my first everyday blend was Carter...

    Thank you for responding Jim. I enjoy your content and your reviews. I've been reading them since I started smoking a pipe. I'll have to try Three Sails and D and R tobacco. I thought those two were unflavored high quality cigarette tobacco. Very interesting. When my wife smoked cigarettes I...

    Good morning Jim, it's actually Saturday the day after this post. I was going to message you with this question on another platform, but while you're on my mind now, I didn't want to forget lol. I'm just curious, it's my nature, but, do you have an "everyday" blend? A blend that you smoke at...

    Had a bowl of Kramers Cary Grant blend in a 1960s Kaywoodie Signet billiard with a Rhodesian style bowl. I'm gifting this blend away. It bit me up terribly.

    That is a beautiful Rossi! I like the new series that came out. It's the light brown rusticated. I'm going to pick up either a Canadian or a 601.

    Looking for a pipe for work

    I don't take my pipes to work that often. I might smoke one on the way to work that I was finishing up from smoking earlier. I work at an upscale private school so they look down on anyone who uses tobacco. At my last job I had before working at the school, I was a inventory manager of a school...

    I know what you where laughing at lol. When I received the 7 Seas Red I was kind of surprised that the tobacco was one color. Mine was completely all light brown, almost golden. I suspect that there is no burley in it and only virginia. The only straight virginia I can smoke is SG Full Virginia...

    My Thanksgiving started off crappy. But I saved it. I got up very early to stuff the turkey because I had to work Thursday night graveyard shift. I made the homemade stuffing and opened the turkey. There were weird brown spots on the wing tips and a nasty bruise on the breast. I was so upset...
