I really like the churchwarden style pipes! I used to have a small churchwarden (about 10 inches long) but I got rid of it recently to make space for a few new pipes. I tend to like the shorter stemmed pipes, however I hope to someday have a nice churchwarden. What about my followers? Does anyone have a favorite churchwarden? Submit your pics and I will post them!
Because of the overwhelming response in favor of the Peterson from yesterdays post, I have decided that that is the pipe for me. And, I was lucky enough to run into someone online who was trying to sell an unsmoked pipe, the same model and make, for a bit less than I have been able to find it anywhere else.
Three cheers for my new Peterson that is on its way!
Ok, so it is time for some follower participation!
I am in the market for a new pipe. I have done a lot of looking into what I want, and I have it narrowed down to 3 good pipes in the same price range. I now want you guys to vote and pick which one I should get. Go ahead and reply to this post and tell me what your favorite is. In a few days, I will see what the consensus is, and hopefully soon have a new pipe! (also, if you know of a pipe that might be better and similar, feel free to let me know about it!)
So, I do not know if anyone has ever heard of this, but I must say that it is FANTASTIC! It is based off of Lord of the Rings (which, I will admit is the reason I bought it in the first place), and is absolutely amazing. It is made by justforhim.com, and is part of a whole serious of LOTRs based tobaccos. So far it is the only one I have tried, but it really is great.
If anyone is looking for a good tobacco that is in between an aromatic and an english, this is the one for you. Its sweet but crisp, and has a great room note. It came a little bit wet, but I let it dry out for an hour or so before I smoked it and it smoked great. Burnt right down to a white ash crisp.
So, go and check it out. And if you try or have tried any of the other tobaccos by justforhim.com, let me know! I would love to hear what you all think!
So awhile back a follower asked me about a new tin that I bought. I promised him a review, and here it is.
1st off, the room note was amazing. As soon as I got the tin open, I was overtaken with the awesome smell. Kind of a fig-y carmel-y smell. Not only that, but the tobacco was at a perfect moisture and a really nice cut…..but the importatnt part is how it smokes so onto that!
When I first was lighting up, I became very concerned, because just as the follower had suggested, the tobacco was overpowering and hot. Once I got it going however, I was very pleased. The tobacco really mellowed out and had a lot more depth than it did before. It was a lot stronger than I usually prefer, however it was a very good tobacco. The smoke was nice and thick, and the taste was sweet but had a strong tobacco taste to it. And, it was not very spicy, which I find good because spicy tobacco is not my thing.
All in all, I enjoyed it a lot. I dont know if it will end up being one of my number one tobaccos, but it was a god buy and I am sure that I will continue to smoke it from time to time.
Super Grain Kaywoodie!
This pipe is also a fixer-upper that i recently bought and restored. Super awesome pipe. Hopefully I find it a nice new owner.
Medico with an awesome swirl stem!
I just got this at an antique store, fixed it up, and now plan on selling it. Hopefully I can make a profit and find it a nice home.
I havent actually opened it yet! I plan on trying it soon, but I am actually currently out of space to cellar it, so I am not quite ready to open it yet. I will probably wait a few weeks till i finish something first so that i have space for it.
Ill tell you what though, once I open it and try it, I will write a review of it on here!

My two smallest, but possibly favorite pipes. Perfect for a short 10 minute smoke.
