    Mexico City Recommendations

    Leaving tonight for 5 days in old Tenochtitlan and was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for pipe or cigar shops, places to smoke, etc. in Mexico City? Also happy for any restaurant or site recommendations!

    Unsmoked Estate Ascorti Billiard

    Stopped by a local shop and saw a nice Caminetto Business in the Estate cabinet. Upon further indirectly, the walls were a bit thin. I then saw this unfinished, chubby billiard by Ascorti. I tend to prefer my pipes with a more slender profile, but I've wanted an Ascorti for a while, so I grabbed...

    Home Coffee Roasting - Beginner Questions

    So, it is starting to happen. While previously mocking the idea of putting this much thought and effort into a cup of coffee, I tripped and fell head first into the rabbit hole*. So now I have decided to bug the coffee experts here again with a couple of questions about potentially roasting some...

    Flair Espresso Machines?

    So I've been on an afternoon coffee kick, particularly espresso. I got tired of spending the ~$4 at Peets, so I have been trying to make it at home with a moka pot, but it's not really giving me what I'm looking for. I noticed a couple of references to these Flair manual espresso machines and I...

    Anyone Into Tabletop/Card RPGs or Board Games?

    A couple months ago while making some deliveries, I dropped off an order at a local hobby shop and this place was bustling! Full of people playing various tabletop RPG type games. I was fascinated by it, and have been curious ever since. The pandemic shutdowns have got me thinking about trying...

    Pepper-Bombs and Ultra Strongs - Recommendations?

    Traditionally, I have never been a fan of ultra full strength and ultra full-bodied cigars, thinking they didn't usually deliver as much flavor as more reasonable sticks.... but lately I have been craving them. I recently put in an order for some Todas Las Dias thick lonsdales and LFD doubles...

    Micallef Cigars - Thoughts and Recommendations

    Anyone here have experience with Micallef? What have you tried, what do you think, and is anything worth a try? My local B&M has a few of their lines in and I bought a Migdalia to try. Intetested in the Mexican Habano wrapper which I dont think I've ever had before.

    Opinel Folding Knives - Best Size

    Been thinking about grabbing one of these opinel knives I've seen folks recommend and wondering what the ideal size is. I'll be using mine for prinarily cutting tobacco plugs and maybe for a bit of fishing. This won't be something I really carry with me day-to-day so portability isn't the...

    Ideal Humidity For Tobacco Storage

    Hi all. I was wondering what you all thought would be a good ideal RH (relative humidity) for pipe tobacco storage. Right now I have a ton od open bulk bags and tins. Rather than jar them up individually, I am thinking of doing a tupper-dor like I have set up for some of my cigars. Keep in...

    Pease Sparkpug vs Gasight

    Has anyone tried both of these yet? Can you compare them? Are they just variations on a theme or are they significantly different?

    New (Estate) Mastro de Paja Brugo From Mkelaw

    I just snagged this thicc boi Mastro de Paja Brugo billiard from Mkelaw Pipes/Dave Neeb. Transaction couldn't have been better, so I want to encourage others to check him out if you haven't already. Anyway, I wanted to get a bigger pipe, what I've seen SP refer to as a house, or comfort, pipe...

    Tobacco Pipes Sale

    Just a heads up that our friends at TP have a sale going right now. Just copped a Burner by Scott's Pipes for $25. I think they have more available, plus some Savs, Rattrays and Vauens.

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    I was just curious if any members liked to play games... I've had an off and on interest since I was a kid, but for a long time I would mostly just play ports games or the occasional GTA or whatever. But lately, I've been playing a fair amount of RPGs, which I never would have imagined myself...

    Bluebird Pipes

    I was curious if anyone has any experience with Bluebird pipes... Not much info turned up online, and searching the forums, there was a post similar to this one about a year ago, and I see one member post in the WAYS thread that he's smoking one. Other than that... zilch. Am I taking one for the...

    1792 Flake... First Bowl

    Happened to catch a tin of 1792 at a local B&M yesterday (along with a tin of And So to Bed), and I'm smoking my first bowl right now with coffee. Holy &#(#)!, is this stuff wonderful. My favorite morning smokes are stout, as I crave that nicotine punch when I wake up. 1792 certainly delivers on...

    Any Americans Order From SmokingPipes.eu?

    Any Americans have any experience ordering from the SP.eu site yet? There's an estate I've got my eye on, and it actually looks like the shipping is quite reasonable (and probably faster than UPS Ground from SC, anyway). ANybody have any experience with this? About how long did the shipping take?

    GL Pease Embarcadero

    I threw in a tin of Embarcadero in my most recent order because I'd never had a Virginia/Oriental blend without Latakia before. And boy, this stuff sure is unlike anything I've had before. Pease describes it in champagne terms as more brut than demi-sec, and that's right. The first bowl I smoked...

    C&D Burley Flakes

    I'm interested in checking out the C&D Burley Flakes, and I was curious if I could get some suggestions or feedback from others on what they think of these blends. I've really been enjoying some of the burley flakes and blends by other companies lately, and I think the MB HH Burley Flake is my...

    Peterson Irish Army - Bent Pipe

    So far, all of the pipes I own are straights. I just prefer straights visually. But since I've come back to piping, and doing more of it while driving, I've been thinking it's time to get a bent pipe. I'm not much of a clencher, but I do tend to clench between puffs while driving. Part of my...

    GLP Stonehenge Vs. SG St. James Flake

    Lately, I've really been enjoying Stonehenge Flake. My first bowl or two, I didn't care for it, but it's really growing on me. I've noticed it has a tartness to it, almost like dried apricot that I really like. I noticed it in Cabbie's Mixture, as well. Those are the only two Lakeland-made VaPer...
