3 Questions: 1) What species of tobacco grows at the North Pole? 2) What goes best paired with a tall glass of milk? 3) Does Keebler blend tobacco, or do they just make cookies? Benjamin Bunny's dad smoke "rabbit tobacco," which Ms. Potter tells us is lavender.  Does that help?

I can't resist a Sebastien Beo plug here (and no, I'm not affiliated with this pipe maker...though that is a job I would probably take if it were offered).  I have three of these pipes and every one is flawless.  By flawless, I am referring to drilling, shaping, and general engineering.  Yes...

Been waiting for this day a long time. I was going to call for Dorchester, but when I refreshed the page tins were available for normal purchase, limit 8 per customer per day. I bought 3, so as not to contribute to the hoarding, you know the ole "leave some for the fish at the drinking...

I'll cast a redundant vote for Old Gowrie.  It's my long-standing #1 blend.  In my opinion, the tin note can't be beat and the smoke moves wonderfully from fresh, sweet virginia to a deep earthy kentucky flavor, well balanced all the way through.  I've blown out my sinuses many times because I...

Yes, that packaging... I'm a big fan of 633 and bought it once in the 100g tin. I'm one who likes to control my moisture levels (or at least feel like I am, even when I'm actually burning hot because I was too impatient to let my tobacco dry). The way I see it, moist tobacco can be dried; dry...

Helpful comments all, and much appreciated. Briar is one respectable plant, up there with the right honorable [i]Nicotiana tabacum.[i] I've been smoking the one I reamed out. The first bowl carried a small taint of carbon flavor, I assume from the exposed and still dusty cake, but that has...

I'm not sure if this is a comment or a question. I suppose it's a realization with an eye to engender further comments from my fellows. I'm a finicky sort of person. Thus, when learning to smoke a pipe and hearing 1) cake build-up is essential to protect your briar and 2) the ole dime's-width...

Just got the latest Smokingpipes update and saw another one of those Sebastien Beo bent billiards up for sale. Don't have the funds now, but some day...some day... I currently have two Beos (two's a company, three's a better company), a bent bulldog and a straight pot and they are the best...

I've recently purchased a fantastic IMP meerschaum, lovely pipe, for a great estate price. It was just beginning to color around the shank and, since I've been smoking it, has acquired a deepening yellow hue. I'm quite pleased with that, but I'm curious as to why the color seems to be staying...

I'm looking to buy a Sav shape 207 (straight apple). I've been swept away by the shape. I'm looking at a Roma and an Oscar Lucite, both in my price range. Can anyone tell me anything about either of these series? Obviously the Roma is rustic and the Oscar is smooth. I've also discovered...

I used to live in Louisville! Wish I'd seen this post then, and smoked a pipe then. But I still have relatives down there, so thanks for the tips, they'll help me out on my next visit too!

Thanks for the help. Sand paper...seems so obvious, but it's new to me. Seems like sandpaper would be pretty tough, as in, might make the eventual pipe reaming unnecessary?

I'm a fairly new pipe smoker and some of my ideas/methods have been real bummers, but this one seems to be working so far, tell me what you all think: My first "real" pipe, the one to which I gave the cake any attention at all, came out very lumpy and I ended up chipping certain parts out...

Last video link: Ida Humphrey is kinda cute.

And here I thought it was a girl-pipe whistling at me!

Hello all, new to the forum here, this will be my first post. I recently purchased, at a bargain, a Stanwell Sixtus 211, cutty/dublin shape pipe (the bargain came because this line is now discontinued). I fell immediately in love with its looks and when I took it out of the package, was amazed...
