so i noticed there really isn't alot of activity here in the pipe fourm. perhaps we can remedy that. assuming that there are indeed pipers still in the crowd. what say ye?
I smoke a pipe, just not this time of year. I really only get out my pipes in the fall and winter months. I've talked to a lot of people who do the same, so maybe that could be a reason that there isn't much activity on the pipe forum right now. :confused:
i havn't smoked any of my pipes in a long time. gonna have to break them out, clean em up and put them back in use.
Yep. A couple of pics.
I have a Pipe collection that's been in my family for about 30 years!!!
I have wanted to try it out, Pipe smoking but have no idea where to start.
OKAY yes buy some pipe tobacco and then what??? I'm down, I just need some newb pipe tips...

Nice collection
My cigar smoking has really slowed down my pipe smoking.
kyle... those are some nice looking pipes. here are a few pics of my most recent pick up, a radice lovat:
Sweet pipe! I really like the 2 tone finish.
I got a tin of the free tobacco we all ordered months ago and keep meaning to get a corn cob pipe but haven't got around to it yet. I wonder if that tobacco stuffed in a box of Kristoff cigars would be worth smoking? I kept it in a plastic bag with a humi pack so it's in good shape. Anybody ever try something like that?
I smoke my pipe about 2-3 times a month. I'm still new at it, so I tend to smoke cigars more frequently.
I just added this to my (cellar) today.
So, Kyle, what kind of pipe tobacco should a full-bodied maduro fan get for a pipe...if he had a pipe?

i've experimented with blending cigar tobacco with different pipe baccys. sometimes i have had great results others... well lets just not talk about those. i'm acually currently tweaking a balkan/cuban cigar blend, we will see how it ends up. give it shot, its great fun.

guess i'll figure it out on my own! :-(
Ken: I don't think I'd try to smoke the tobacco they used as cushioning for cigars. But on the other hand, go ahead and give it a try!
Sam: There are a few pipers here, but not many. I have a decent pipe arsenal but haven't been using them lately. I keep meaning to break them out again...I think I need some new 'baccy to get me started again.

Do meth and MJ pipes count? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :-0
I've tried the cigar packing stuff in a pipe, not much to report on that except I don't think I'd try again. I used to smoke a pipe all the time back in the 70's then went on and off for many years. Cigars are better because I find pipes are too much like chewing tobacco, too easy to access and to spit out a wad or put down a pipe with a little tobacco left isn't a big thing. A cigar is a bigger commitment for me and I won't consider one without 2 hours to spend with it. I prefer pipes with smaller bowls just because of the reduced amount of tobacco. Funny thing, last week my wife came across a pipe that I dragged home from my dad's place on the coast 14 years ago when he died. It's pretty much brand new, made in France .... St. Claude, I checked them out on the internet, still a going concern in some small town. It's a curvy as I used to call them lovely pipe with a stem that looks like amber marble. I tried it, smokes and tastes nice but I find the stem too rigid and hard, it has very little give when biting down on it. Must be a special model for horses that smoke and are hard on stems.
Just smoked a bowl of GL Pease Montgomery in a Missouri Meerschaum American Patriot. A good morning blend, mostly Virginia with a touch of Kentucky tobacco.
Might need to pick up a bowl and take up the habit...... :rolleyes:

I love Montgomery in a cob! My preferred cob is the Missouri Pride, but I'm with you on the Montgomery. Blew through a tin a while back and loved it. I have a single unopened tin that's been aging for 16 months. I'm not sure how long I'll let it cellar. As far as Virginias go, I got really into the Stokkebye Twist Flake for a while. Their Navy Flake was great too. Blakeney's Best Bayou Slices from McClelland was another I smoked a lot of. I like that blend because the Perique is more prominent than in other blends. It wasn't overpowering, but it had a nice tang that I just couldn't get enough of.
I can't wait for winter to get here so I can get out some G.L. Pease Westminster or Odyssey. I love me some Latakia. :biggrin:

I remember my pappy always smoking a pipe and rolling his own prince albert. I may have to look into taking it up.
Kyle- I like your collection! :biggrin:
I have been smoking pipes for a few years now. My father got me into it on his annual visits to the south. I currently have a Peterson 312 (it has the p-lip stem), and a Turkish meerschaum that my dad brought back when he visited the country this spring. Both pipes make for a great smoke. I plan to pick up a cob pipe sometime, just to say I have tried one.
As for tobacco, I have not tried any of the kinds that Kyle and Sam are showing off, so have no idea what they really are. Of the few Virginia baccy's I have tried, none of them really did it for me. I am, however, hooked on pretty much anything with a lot of black cavendish in it. I particularly enjoy the black cherry cavendish. Not sure what kind of pipe smoker that makes me, but it is what I like so far. Maybe I should try broadening my horizons some.
Tonight I pulled out the 312 and filled it with Stokkebye's Black Majesty. Nice smoke. Stokkebye's is generally pretty good. I have had a couple McClelland blends that I liked a lot too. It all came from smokingpipes.com.

Have you ever tried Erinmore? A totally different smoking experience (sounds like an ad), I think it's from Ireland. I have always liked three cheaper American brands myself, Half & Half is very nice, I always like Velvet, and the last bag I bought was a bargain brand and great stuff called Blenders Gold, I think my friend from Florida bought it for me at Walgreens. Guys might laugh at my choices but all three are great pipe tobacco choices I'd say.

missouri meerchaum cobs are cheap and are generally good smokers that dont take long to break in. to keep it lit... that takes time and patience to get the technique down, but you will get the feel for it. other than that, try drying your baccy. that pipedia link i posted has lots of good tips and advice.
I still puff away at my corn cob every now and again at work. Just finished off an old bag of tobacco, so I"m done smokin the pipe till I get some more baccy.
There were some good links and info on baccy, I'll have to try some good stuff. Any thoughts on filters? I know I don't use one, but I smoke pipes with another fella at work and he swears by them.
filters? we don't need no steeenking filters.
Re: filters, I use them in my cobs. However, I take the poker on my pipe tool and shove it through the filter before installing it. This knocks down the paper baffles inside of the filter, so you basically get a (near) unfiltered smoke without the insanely loose draw you would get if you were to leave the filter out of the equation entirely.

My latest purchases have been the Frog Morton series from McClelland, four brands in all. I love the original and am about to try the others.
Quotesam a - 8/12/2011 2:59 PM

Filters keep the hot gasses from shriveling the tongue. Since many of us are married and require permission to smoke, and our tongues are the gateways to permission, we either keep our tongues in functional order or quit smoking, which also repairs the tongue.

The secret I discovered for keeping a pipe lit is knowing when to tamp the tobacco. If smoke production drops off too much or the draw becomes too open, tamp while drawing. As long as you don't get the draw too tight, it will keep right on burning.
OK, so what's a good site for to buy the corn cob pipes?

I've only found not using a filter to be possible with my Turkish hand-carved Meerschaum. It seems to cool and filter the smoke by itself. If you use a tobacco with a strong bite, like Mac Baren pipe tobacco, nothing will help you except puffing very very slowly.

Prices are a little better and you can pick up some baccy.
I have ordered from Mars for years and they are excellent. Only one time did I have a proublem (they forgot to put a tin of baccy in the box)
I E-mailed them and within an hour they had the tin shipped and when it arrived it was a 8 ounce tin insted of the 2 ounce tin I ordered. I E-mailed them
back and they said the 2 ounce tins were sold out but keep the 8 ounce tin at no extra charge!
For those of you just starting out or interested in pipe smoking. Watch Eric's pipe smoking 101 videos.

I will have to give Erinmore a try. I confess to having very limited experience with pipe tobacco. Other than Stokkebye's and McClelland, the only other pipe baccy I have had was a couple Burlington blends. Burlington is in Edmonton Alberta. I don't know if they have stores anywhere else. Their blends are unbelievably good - I would call them the Padron of the pipe world. Yes, they are that good and, unfortunately, that expensive.

It would never occur to me that pipe tobacco needs aging. Makes sense I guess since I suppose it would benefit from a nice long rest just like a good cigar.

Great... One more that I wanna try now. I picked up a nice Perique blend at the B&M in Amarillo the other day to try and I'm already thinking I'll have to go back for at leas a Quart Jar's worth.

That McClelland Blue Mountain is some excellent stuff!
I'm hoping so. I might should have ordered a couple, but I figured I'd better try it first.
That was in my shopping cart at one point, but I didn't want to go overboard. For now, I don't see pipe smoking being more than a once a week occassion.
It's been on my "to buy" list for a while now so when I put together a big order I had to have it in there. I've been smoking my pipe much more lately and cigars much less frequently. I'm sure that'll change again in the future, but there are so many things that I haven't explored on the pipe front that it's kinda fun to try some new things and the longer stints between cigars while I indulge in my pipe make the cigars darn tasty when I do smoke one. :confused:
Another Pipe I just had to have.

Very nice! That Sav looks great.

Got my Samuel Gawith in for the cellar.
Wow Kyle. You're on a rampage again. Those are some mighty nice purchases there!
Holy crap! Your the guy who keeps all the online stores out of inventory. ;-)
Seriously though, nice haul! I think that's half of SG's sales quota for the year there.
Man is that ever imprssive Kyle... :-)
Kyle's tobacco-related collecting has taken him past "Serious Hobbyist," all the way to "Possible Bond Villain."

I'll bet he's sitting in his favorite chair, overlooking a shark tank, with a fluffy white kitty in his lap.

Actually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, overlooking my 100 gallon fishtank with African Cichlids eating minnows, with
Fluffy in my lap.

Good to know that if you get snowed in, you'll be able to get by for a few days... If I might ask, w/out offending, with whence did you receive that order?

The 250g boxes came from Mars and the tins came from Payless.
I have heard rumors that Samuel Gawith is going to discontinue packaging tobacco in tins and move to bulk boxes only.
That would help with the shortages that seem to crop up.
I try to make a big purchase every other year so that I can keep a good aged
inventory on hand. S.G.'s tobacco really comes to life with 3 to 5 years age on it. :shades:

I haven't been collecting long enough to build up that kind of stock, but I just got in a couple tins of St. James Flake From Mars that I'll be looking forward to cracking open down the line. How does it come when packaged in the bulk boxes? Can you just age them in the original packaging like you can tins, or do you have to jar it and let it simmer?

It comes in zip top bags inside the box so you need to jar it up to prevent drying out. That St. James Flake is good stuff!

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping the St. James is good, I've developed a taste for Virginia/ Perique flakes lately.
