What a lovely knobly pipe. I might have to look out for something similar even though I'm trying not to buy pipes.

I just ordered a second tin of lakeland dark. I think I've found my dark flake substitute, although I'm going to England in a week and will be bringing back my maximum quota of pipe tobacco. It's...

I'm still on a quest for a dark flake substitue so I've ordered a tin of Sam Gawith Lakeland Dark. Anyone familiar with it?

I live in the south so winter's are mostly rain rather than snow so I just cycle in the rain. I also live in a pretty small town so if it snows I can walk to most places I need to go without much...

That's not bad. $7.50 a gallon is part of why I cycle.

Good question. It varies from place to place of course and it's cheaper on Sunday evenings because the gas stations all get their delivery on Monday mornings and they try to get rid of everything...

My tin of dark birdseye arrived. It's an ok substitute for dark flake, but not a great one. Very strong, it's a long time since I got niccups, but it doesn't have the same deep earthy flavour. I've...

Yup. I think about two thirds of it is tax now. I usually stock up when I go back to England and can only bring 250g before I have to start paying duty on it at $36 per 100g.

So I just ordered a tin of gawith hoggarth's dark birdseye. I'm hoping it's fairly close to their dark flake, especially for the price i paid. 305 NOK, which is something like $38 or £28.50 for a 50g...

I have a problem I could do with some help with. I'm a big fan of Gawith Hogagrth's dark flake, but it isn't available in Norway where I live. I usually visit England in the summer and pick up a pile...

It seems to be the easiest way, all the tar it's absorbed and all the carbon built up in the bowl just burn right out. It's too thin for pipe cleaners, and probably too absorbent for alcohol, ...

Cleaning a long clay pipe. I tried a bunch of times and the picture was sideways every time, so I guess you'll just have to turn your head.

Yes, Chris Askwith. I googled morta bowl devil anse pipe and almost everything that came up was Askwith. I just found Jonathan Taylor on facebook though, he's got some really beautiful pipes on there.

Would that be Askwith?

What a beautifully knobbly pipe.

Thanks, I think I'll pick up a senior when I'm in England next week. I'll try out the sandpaper thing on my meerschaum falcon bowl too. So far I've just been scraping it carefully with the back of a...

Anyone got any thoughts on reamers? I was doing some pipe maintenance this morning and broke my cheap buttner style reamer. I'm considering a senior reamer, is it worth the money

I usually cube cut plugs. I cut off about a quarter of an inch, maybe a bit less, then cut that the other way into little square towers that break up easily into little cubes. Drop those into the...

In about a week and a half I'm heading back home to England to see my grandparents and some friends and to pick up a reasonable supply of tobacco. It's about three times the price over here in Norway...

GL Pease is even harder to find over here. I've only tried their jack knife plug, that was very pleasant.

Probably my favourite tobacco. I slightly prefer the plug, but it's very difficult to find, and in Norway where I live it's just about impossible to find.

I usually prefer the black, but I'm thinking I might pick up some of the brown next time I'm in the UK.

Warrior plug for me this morning in my cheap basket pipe. I'm still impressed by how good an £8 pipe turned out to be. I had a drop of Norwegian whisky with it. Eiktyrne Bloodtub whisky if you're...

I haven't had a problem with apples going mouldy yet. I usually put a wedge in the jar, but turn the jar on it's side so the apple doesn't come into contact with the tobacco. I leave it 24 hours and...

You have some nice looking pipes. Do you keep that humidifying thing in the tin with your tobacco? I have a few of them still kicking about the place from my last cigar order. I haven't tried using...
