Anyone try it ? Sounds like a really good premium black cavendish tobacco-saw it on CB auction but it went higher than I was willing.

I received a "luxury pouch" of this today in the mail and decided it would be as good a time as any to write a short review. The tobacco itself is cut fairly small and is a yellowish, tan color. The tobacco has a faint syrup-y aroma with a hint of honeydew melon. It is adequately humidified in...

Mac Baren Plumcake Don't let the name fool you! This isn't just a sickeningly sweet blend- this is rather a misnomer for a hearty, robust blend. INITIAL REVIEW: Tin Aroma: Latakia with a sweet rum and slight saltiness. Smoked two bowls, one that was right of out tin and one...

Ouch. I have a pipe that I tried to clean off the stem with water and a paper towel. Next thing I know, the stem smells like burnt rubber. Any ideas? Clean with Everclear, people have told me - fill the bowl and let it soak, run through and clean with pipe cleaners, how is it done?

I'm back from the pipe show in Columbus and have a bunch of pipe tobacco that I would be willing to send folks for a blind taste test. Same as Barcochris did a while back. Let me know here and, if we get enough folks, I'll put it together. DaninDayton ilurkalot

I was on my way to work last week, when I realized I did not have my little bent pipe in my pocket. Well, I wasn't about to go all night without a smoke, so I stopped by a Walgreens all night drugstore, and bought the only thing they had, a Dr Grabow Grand Duke billiards style. I bought it, and...

Hello. I recently, upon turning 18, picked up the pipe. Around here where I live, I am mostly limited to drugstore blends and pipes. I have a collection of cheapo Dr. Grabows and corncobbs. I like them fine but am looking to move up to something better. Can anyone reccomend a nice brand of...

I am trying to find a good fall smoke. I was thinking CandD Autumn Evening for the maple flavor. Is there anything else in the genre that is a better bet?

I will send three people three samples. Lets say enough for three bowls. all you got to do is smoke it and post a review. and when all reviews are in we will find out what it is. I am not sure what we will gain form this, just sounds fun. So who is it going to be?

I have come across a few carvers a couple in particular. So I was wondering if there is enough interest in doing a forum pipe. a pipe that would be just made for us, one size and finish. What do you all think? What Price point would we be looking at? I am thinking we could get a real nice...

I picked this up unsmoked from a feller that thought it to small. I love it. It is by far one of the top pipes I own. Link
