    I am interested in buying a Dracula Sandblasted (XL90) Fishtail (9mm) but I am unable to find one? Are there any places that will modify a non filtered pipe to accept 9mm filter?

    Will Cob Pipes Accept 9mm Filters?

    Just wondering. I know they can usually take a paper filter, but can anyone tell me if they will accept a 9mm charcoal filter like Dr Perl Jr?

    Corona Old Boy Lighter

    I am considering getting a Corona Old Boy lighter in Matte Black. Looking at the traditional butane one, not the pipe master piezo. Are they worth it and if you have the matte black, does it wear well or should I consider another finish? Thanks.

    Just Ordered Some Wilkes

    I am not a huge Aromatic smoker but I do not hate them. Smoke mostly English/Balkan blends. Saw a lot of great reviews on some of the Wilkes blends so I ordered a sampler pack. My questions is, if I really like some of them and want to order more, do they cellar/age well? Just tired of so many...

    Just had Rattray Old Gowrie

    Not a huge fan. To my limited tastes, it is not bad but not great. The room note to me reminds me of cigarettes, I am used to English and Balkan blends. I think I may even prefer light aromatics to this. I bought this in 2014 and I remember not caring for it them so I figured I would cellar it...

    Dunhills?

    Why are Dunhill’s so expensive? I’ve been wanting to try a Dunhill 9mm filter pipe for a long time and haven’t found any in the price range that I am comfortable with. Do they do anything that other pipe makers don‘t do to make them so expensive? Is it extra, extra Italian briar? What am I...

    Filter Pipes?

    I have gravitated over the years to prefer 9mm filter pipes. I understand that I am in the minority but I have tested both extensively. Anyone else here enjoy filter pipes and if so, what is your favorite. I have a meerchaum and Vauen that are my current favorites.
