    One year meer challenge

    First of all, thanks to @cshubhra for posting a coloring progression thread of his meerschaum and @didimauw for the inspiration doing a 1 pipe challenge for a year. This sparked my interest on doing something similar. While I have always claimed that I want pipes to be designated to tobacco I...

    Ordering for a Cellar Blindly

    I'm getting into a logistics crunch for 2023: expected is that EU countries won't allow the online sales of tobacco anymore. In basis this means I have to build my cellar this year, as the Netherlands is a pipe tobacco desert in general and I mailorder from Germany. I'm still testing blends I...

    Grousemoore or Grosemore

    Shoot! As I understood it right its a good first try on Lakelands. I had a sample of KC Flake and I really liked that one, but unfortunately it's impossible to get for me available sources. Or is there a reason it is available and other SG blends aren't, hense the name Grosemore.

    J. Everett Lovat

    Hello gang, want to show you my latest acquisition. I got acquainted with Jason's creation via @Chasing Embers his spooky Halloween pipes and the Christmas pipes he get from him. Was very easy to work with Jason. The inaugural smoke was OGS and somehow the pipe didnt smoke "young" at all. The...

    Tobacco Bombed

    Dunno if the title in present times it appropriate, but I'm still going to use this term for a very generous gift I received. The generosity of the people on this forum can not be measured or explained in words!

    What to Cellar for Improvement?

    Maybe this is beating a dead horse, I really like to search first, but I couldnt find the answer on below question or I didn't searched enough.... In my first year of pipe smoking I tried quite some blends. I have a notion of what I like now (which is no guarantee that I like it in a few years)...

    When is a estate worth it?

    I on the verge on buying a pipe. I'm considering a estate, but they have the same pipe new for 38 bucks more... Would you still consider the estate against paying 40 bucks more for a new pipe? When do you consider the estate above the new pipe? Shoot.

    Me and Virginia Tobacco

    This might sound very preliminary; i've been trying a tobacco which is full Virginia (mac baren virginia no1.) and I have the strange feeling me and full Virginia tobacco will never ever be friends. I'm smoking this in a meer (also tried a cob, same result), packed like any other tobacco...

    Pipe Sizing and Online Vendors

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Is smokingpipes.com or smokingpipes.eu a lot off in sizing? And if a pipe maker has a size range like Ashton (X, 2X, 3X, LX) or Dunhill (group 1 till X) how serious should I take this sizing? I do get this is subject to form, a dublin is mostly...

    I'm Such a Noob

    Smoked my only Briar pipe yesterday morning. Thought it wasnt hot anymore, so pulled the stem and cleaned it. Wanted to smoke it again, 0 draw.... Watched the stem, it had a bit offset, put a little pressure and broke the tenon in a gazillion pieces..... So fair warning, let it cool more! And...

    Ikea Jars

    Would these jars work? I still got a bunch of them... What I'm thinking off is the lid closing mechanism when tobacco ages and expands putting pressure on it. Maybe remove the rubber ring to let air escape a bit?

    Lunchbreak Walking Pipe

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) As spring is coming (no, not winter...), also the walks during my lunchbreak are on the horizon again. As a noob (I get 2 cobs in the mail, 5th avenue bends) i'm also looking for a smaller pipe I can smoke on my 30 minute lunchbreak walk. I do...
