Hey everyone just wanted to say a belated Merry Christmas, Happy holiday, Happy New Year. I'm back after finals and break. Used some of my gift money to buy a Bjarne Viking Classic Rustic Rhodesian (stock photo for now) Wondering if anybody has a Bjarne or any tips (out of the usual break-in...

James (MaxTheBunny) decided to pile on or shoot first and ask questions later or just be masochistally influenced by the frenzied LOB because he knocked both my socks off with this one! As an all out Fuente Fan - this is a little slice of heaven!! So be forwarned fellow Puffers - this...

Just in case some of you Houston guys aren't keeping an eye on the event forum: Rocky Patel Special Event @ The Briar Shoppe [June 11, 2011 - Houston] Email from my local B&M: I'll probably be there around 2:30.

Cause today is the day to enjoy this bad boy! Many thanks to Dave aka: CaptainEnormous. After a rough day this made me smile. Now just gotta get some jars so I can get some more baccy cause I'm running low. In the making.. And now....

Here's a place to post pipe stories; funny, sad, irritating. I'll start. My grandfather passed away a few weeks ago (March 31) at the age of 93, one week before turning 94. I was one of his primary caretakers the last 6 months of his life, lifting him from his bed daily for radiation...

i have had this experience with alot of pipes i have recently purchased. i have an ardor which i am breaking in and the damn draught hole looked horrible after the second smoke. then with a little but careful use of that bit on a senior reamer it made it beautiful again. have any of you guys had...

I've been shopping around for my first briar. Here is one I found, it's within my budget (under $60.00) and I really like the shape. I did a search and there are mostly good reviews for this brand. Looking for any opinions any of you may have. I'm also going to get a pipe lighter, and some...

This was one of those carve your own blocks of Briar. This particular one was one of the Nordings sold by PipesandCigars. I left the finish natural and just really worked some paragon wax into it to protect it and then buffed the crap out it. This was a really fun project and I can't wait...

I would like to hear your opinion on the subject of ghosting in briar pipes. Is there any way to prevent it??? and what baccy in your opinion ghost the most?????? Thanks in advance for all your replies!!!!!!

Ok Folks, I couldn't help myself, and finally, after months of reading, and with cold weather set in, I bought a pipe. I don't/won't smoke cigars in the house, and the wife complains when I smoke out the garage, since it's connected to the house. I convinced her that a pipe smells A LOT...

I've been reading through this forum, and something that seems to come up somewhat frequently is the fact that the smoking experience between a low end briar and a higher end briar can be very different. Most of my pipes that I have right now are all estate briar (or some cheap imitation)...

Some of you may know that I am looking to buy my first pipe. My question is ...if corn cobs are so good, why does anyone smoke a briar? I understand that a cob is good for testing new tobaccos so there is no "contamination" from prior blend, but will I get a "true" experience smoking a cob vs a...

As a devoted Meer smoker, it is rare for Briar to touch my lips, but my dad slid me his one and only briar. It is a Triple B (Which I am told meant "Britain's Best Briar" It is a simple Dublin with a slightly bent stem. It looks a LOT like a Savinelli "Bing's Favorite" with just a touch more...

I don't know who made it. It has no markings. But it was only 20 bucks. Haven't used yet.

Hello everyone. I am in the market for my first quality briar pipe. I have a MM corn cob pipe right now and that is all I have smoked in a pipe. I understand that a pipe is a personal choice and that you should buy the best you can afford and also that everyone may have different likes...

Do you apply the wax to the buffing wheel first or to the pipe then buff? Is there any need to heat the wax up to soften it before you apply it to either the pipe or the buffing wheel? Also will carnuba wax be sufficient to polish/buff a vulcanite stem? I've used the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on...

Briar Fox is not only a tobacco, but a well executed concept. From it's rustic Virginia leaf ingredients, to the presentation, the tin art and the name, I find it to be complete and whole in all ways. I like the clever name -- a play on words that alludes to the unceasing conspirator from Uncle...

Hey guys, I recently picked up a nice used pipe from eBay for around $7, and tried to clean it up nicely. I ended up using a tiny bit of Pledge on the outside and around the wooden top rim, avoiding the meershchaum liner. To make absolutely sure that there wasn't any polish residue on the...

Well, I hope the answer to this isn't a bad one... Was smoking my newish Johs dublin a few nights ago. Maybe half way through the bowl, I hear a "CLINK!" and a slight jump, as if the pipe were shifting or (my god I hope not) cracking. Weird. I finished the bowl, looked all over inside...
