    West Coast Pipe Show 2015

    Same here. With the cost of transportation and room, I could buy several nice pipes of the estate suppliers. I would sure like to go. I did attend the last show in Sacramento years back. :pale:

    New Backpacks

    That is a good point George. These packs have a rain cover that you deploy. We got caught in a hail storm this summer and the pack was very saturated. Fortunately, it was a short storm and the contents were dry.

    Desert Island Pipe: What's yours?

    That is an interesting question Mark. I thought about my briers but could not really come up with one. I spun around and contemplated my collection. My Kirsten gold anodized RX. It is a comfortable bent for hanging, cleans up easily, and does not need to rest between smokes. I could not...

    New Backpacks

    If you do (or can't resist) go in, get it fitted by the shop. We all think we need a larger frame than is right. I took a medium instead of a large. I got fitted but am waiting or a sale or to win the lottery. :D

    Steven Books/House of Calabash still opened?

    I enjoyed Irish Men's 5 O'clock. It has all of the good characteristics of Steve's blends. It was a Balkan with a slight  nutty taste and mild Latakia notes. The moisture level was good as it arrived but there was some dottle at the heel. I hope to get up to his shop by July. Does anyone have a...

    Twice Bitten?

    I have just read an article which indicates that TB is caused in part by alkaline smoke. The high PH is produced in high temperature combustion. Can it be that the open end and unconstrained end of a cigar and cold air for combustion makes for a cooler temperature than a pipe ...

    Educate me about filtered pipes

    Some people like them and some(most) do not. I say that you should try some with and without and see for your self. They do tend to mute the flavor but also do make the smoke dry which is good. They do need to be washed or changed after a number of times of use. Again, it depends on your...
