Fellas, I have smoked a corncob pipe occasionally for the last few years. Usually in the Fall and Winter. I enjoy the aromatics but I couldn't differentiate one pipe tobacco from another. I have only ever purchased 3 different pipe tobaccos from jars at the local B&M. What is the next step in...

So we can and have debated which guillotine or v-cutter are the best. However, for someone like myself who enjoys the convenience of a plunge cutter, I have not found any real discussion on what is the best. I have heard from a good friend that AVO makes a great plunge cutter that has a...

Hello all! So, being a cigar smoker for about 3 years ago, I really took an interest in pipes. Started doing some research and all. Then I finally decided to take the plunge. (Fiance was not upset since its a little cheaper than cigar smoking. Even though the cigar smoking is not stopping...
