    Anyone Else Snag Some C&D Beast?

    I didn't really even care if it was a limited release or whatever, just thought it sounded interesting. I've never tried anything like it before, but I do love strong, hard hitting tobacco. Definitely if it has a good aroma as well, then I'll pick it up. So two tins for me, one to pop, one to...

    Anyone Else Snag Some C&D Beast?

    If not, I was able to find some over at tobaccopipes.com. I saw the email notification popped at midnight, broke my ankle getting to smokingpipes only to find it gone already. Looks like something right up my alley, so I bought 2 tins. Seems very strong with a strong taste and great aroma, all...

    Got Me A Hurricane Pipe

    Not sure. All I have to go off for now are pictures. Just bought it today. Should have it this week or next and I'll know once I get it in my hands. If it doesn't, I'm sure there will be something I can do to make it pivot better.

    Got Me A Hurricane Pipe

    I have wanted myself one of these just for the novelty factor, but think one would be nice to add to my collection. On a whim, I searched the bay today and found a beautiful version that had been "rarely smoked". So I snatched it up. Not sure how rare the hurricane standard pipe is, but it...

    Looking For Nostalgic Room Note

    As others have mentioned, Half & Half, Sir Walter Raleigh and Carter Hall might be the best aromas for creating this sensation and they're cheap and usually easily located at shops, if they carry any pipe tobacco. I actually just enjoy the break from other tobaccos with some Carter Hall or Sir...

    Searching For One Thing, Brought Home A Ropp Vintage Sandblasted 29C

    Well, it looks a lot like mine except the shank is a little longer on mine. The draw was a slight bit tighter than I expected, but I was contributing it to a tighter hole in the stem. The bit it a lot smaller than I'm used to, but still very comfortable to clench.

    Searching For One Thing, Brought Home A Ropp Vintage Sandblasted 29C

    Oh? Maybe? They shaved him too! No more beard when I woke up on an island surrounded by beautiful women, but then I woke up from that dream and realized it was just Bill and his stupid squeaking parrot and I think Anthony was doing a jig by the water mumbling something about Black Frigate...

    Searching For One Thing, Brought Home A Ropp Vintage Sandblasted 29C

    I do too, so far! I think it smokes very well! I love the feel of it too.

    Searching For One Thing, Brought Home A Ropp Vintage Sandblasted 29C

    Been on a kick of watching the Robert Downey Jr. flick Sherlock Holmes and in my ever present search for a pipe similar to one of the variety he smokes (believe it's been mostly narrowed to a Dunhill), I keep perusing the virtual shelves of all the usual suspects for one like it. Never fails...

    Halloween Horror Flicks - What is Everyone Watching?

    Yes! I just started watching that last week. Only a few episodes in though, but looking forward to finishing it.

    Trying To Find Something Similar To A Particular Pipe Tobacco In Cigar Form

    I was out in my car with the window cracked this morning, smoking a lovely blend called Scotty's Butternut Burley. I love it in the mornings, especially when it's crisp outside. A guy I work with smelled it and asked me about it and I told him what it was. He asked me if they had something...

    What’s Your Favorite English?

    I have lots of favorites and can't pick just one. Maltese Falcon Presbyterian Mixture Boswell Northwoods Just to name a few, are some of my favorites. Just depends on what I haven't smoked in a while when I want an English as to which one I go with, but all are fantastic.

    I Decided to Try Maltese Falcon...

    I absolutely love the stuff. I bought a small tin last year and gave it a shot when it was available and then it sold out before I could order more. Then I got the opportunity to buy a couple of 8 oz tins and jumped. I love MF and is one of my favorite blends. I smoke it fairly regularly. It's...

    Ever Had A Blend Be Too Strong?

    I must admit, I like the stronger things in life. Dark, strong porters and stouts; strong flavored sweet tea, dark roasted coffees and dark, strong and flavorful tobaccos. Every once in a while, depending on how I've eaten, one will set my head to spinning, but I enjoy it when it happens. Puts a...
