Figural Briar From Grandpa's Estate
My grandpa died back in 2020 and I helped my mom bring a substantial amount of his items back home, mostly books and art but various other things as well. We boxed it all up and the boxes had been staying in the garage until yesterday when my mom decided she wanted to use that space for... -
Washing Mason Jars?
Title edited for caps and brevity. Read Rule 9. I made my first tin purchases a few weeks ago and I finally got around to picking up some mason jars to keep the tobaccos in. Before I open the tins and transfer the contents I was wondering if it would be necessary or or at least advisable to...- Zamora

Cargo Hold in Washington State
Yesterday I went to the Cargo Hold in Poulsbo, Washington and bought five tins and a house blend sampler. My local B&M only has bulks (they focus on cigars) and online pipe tobacco sales are illegal in Washington, so getting to purchase tins was a huge deal for me. I'd been to the Cargo Hold a...- Zamora

My first B&M haul
Not sure when I'll pop the tins and start on them, but the beauty of pipe tobacco is they only get better.- Zamora

Smoking after an injury
I fell and sprained my ankle back in early February. No bruises or excessive swelling, so I never bothered seeing a doctor for it. Well fast forward to today and my ankle still hurts somewhat even though I take ibuprofen three times a day. Not severe pain, I'm back to my pre injury level of...- Zamora

Thoughts on Stillwell Star?
I had a Stillwell Star Bayou and I found it to be a decent Nicaraguan stick but I couldn't taste any of the Virginia or Perique in it. I'm still pretty new to pipe smoking and even newer to VaPers and I'm wondering if I should've waited longer before trying it. Has anybody had anything from...- Zamora

Bonsai and Pipes go Hand in Hand
I've been raising bonsai trees for about five years. Observing the trees and looking for new growths is so relaxing, and I've found it's even better with a pipe. -
Picked up this H.I.S. at my B&M
I'm going to be visiting the legendary Cargo Hold next month and plan to buy several tins there, so I'd promised myself not to spend any more money on pipes or tobacco (or alcohol for that matter) until then. However this piece was on display at my local shop when I stopped by for some cleaners...- Zamora

I went ahead and bought that meer
After hearing everybody's advice in my previous post I decided to go ahead and buy the piece. Glad I did, it really was too good a deal to pass. Thanks to everybody who gave input! Looks like the color is just off because of grime. The stem screw and tenon look pretty grubby too, and the stem...- Zamora

Bore hole too narrow for cleaners
I bought an estate for a great deal recently and I want to start smoking it soon. Unfortunately I can't get a pipe cleaner in, I tried running one through with both a soft bristle and firm bristle but neither worked. The pipe is a Bruken Selecta but the stem is a replacement, it holds a 6mm...- Zamora

Does this look like a legit block meer?
I was antiquing today and I found this piece, the price is an absolute steal for a meer let alone one with patina. I almost bought it on the spot but the coloring doesn't look quite right to me, I get that it dulls after not being smoked for a while but still it feels off. I'm well are that...- Zamora

Sutliff Medium English dry time
I bought some Sutliff Medium English recently and I'd like to try it soon. On Tobacco Reviews one user says the blend is heavy in PG and that it'll need to be dried for several days. However it doesn't seem very wet to me, and the review was over ten years old so I'm wondering if it's still PG...- Zamora

Greetings from the PNW
I recently got into pipe smoking, so far all I've smoked is Sir Walter Raleigh and Lane 1Q and I have an MM Country Gentleman and a Bruken estate. I've been smoking cigars off and on for several years, I got back into it seriously last year and this year I decided to diversify into pipes. Pipe...- Zamora
