For anyone thinking of going to the above Sutfiff event, I highly recommend the blending seminar, I attended the seminar at the Chicago pipe show and Georg Jensen was fantastic I learned so much.
If I didn't have tickets to a concert that night, I would be there, its a great event.
New update for my pipe blog. In today's entry, I chat with Nate Rose of RosePipeCo about his work on my Willows pipe, and get to know a bit more about the carver himself.
Very nice article @thebadgerpiper Barring the logistics problem(s), I would love to see you do an interview/article on Abb Brown ( @Corey562 ). It would no doubt be especially interesting to all TPL members... You write very well, and your articles are insightful... Tnx brother...
@KA9FFJ Thank you for the kind words. This was a different piece than my usual posts, so it was a unique challenge writing the story around Nate's interview. I'd love to chat with more pipe makers in the future, like @Corey562 , so we'll see if I can get those lined up.
We're excited to announce the return of Cup O' Joes tinned tobaccos, the brainchild of none other than Kathleen Kelly herself!
We offer a wide spanning collection of 6 fantastic blends to appeal to all pipers including an English, 3 Aromatic blends and 2 straight Virginias - each named after different versions of the infamous Yeti.
If you recall, a couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I wanted to get pipe smoking tips from my First Responders members to publish here in my weekly newsletter. I continue to receive really good ones, and this morning's tip comes from Marcus D. who says he has a way of keeping his pipes clean and fresh so that they will continue to present him with the fresh, clean taste of his pipe tobacco with each bowl. Marcus says that after every half dozen or so smokes out of a pipe, he inserts a pipe cleaner soaked in EverClear 190 Proof Grain Alcohol through the stem and shank, and leaves the cleaner in the pipe for about half an hour. He says it is important to do this right after smoking the pipe because the warmth has softened the residue to the point where it is readily absorbed by the alcohol soaked pipe cleaner. He says that after 30 minutes, he removes the cleaner and then runs one more EverClear soaked cleaner quickly through the pipe and immediately uses a follow-up dry cleaner. After that, he simply puts the pipe back in the rack and its good to go after about 24 hours of rest. Thanks for the tip, Marcus, and I have already tried your tip and was surprised at how much residue was absorbed by the alcohol soaked pipe cleaner that "sat" in the shank and stem for half an hour.>>
Congress has introduced two bills that massively increase taxes for all tobacco products - including pipe tobacco and premium cigars. The legislation threatens the viability of thousands of small businesses like ours across the U.S., risks putting tens of thousands of employees out of work, and would affect every one of our premium cigar and pipe smoking customers. We urge you to take a moment right now to learn more and take action against these proposed tax increases by visiting our Politics of Smoking page.
Congress has introduced two bills that massively increase taxes for all tobacco products - including pipe tobacco and premium cigars - under the guise of addressing the Youth Vaping Epidemic. The legislation threatens the viability of thousands of small businesses across the U.S. and risks putting tens of thousands of employees out of work.
Senator Dick Durbin recently introduced the Tobacco Tax Equity Act of 2019 (S.2517), which would ultimately increase excise taxes on premium cigars and pipe tobacco by staggering amounts through amending sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. In the House of Representatives, Congressman Tom Suozzi and others introduced the Quell Underage Inhaling of Toxic Substances (QUITS) Act (H.R. 4425), which would also increase excise taxes on premium cigars and pipe tobacco through amending sections of that same code.
"We are not going to sit idly by when Congress gives speeches against vaping, but their actual policies attack premium cigars and pipe tobacco, which are not part of the youth access problem, " said Joshua Habursky, PCA's Director of Federal Affairs, in a press release. "These are cringeworthy tax increases that hurt retailer small business owners, employees, manufacturers, and ultimately every cigar enthusiast."
Every premium cigar and pipe smoker should take a moment right now to voice his/her opposition to these proposed tax increases.

For thirty years, Giancarlo Guidi was the metaphorical soul around which all aspects of Ser Jacopo revolved. A greater breadth of sizes and finishes emerged, along with well thought out series and collections. Certainly, one of the most important elements within Ser Jacopo's great leap forward, was a new emphasis on the pairing of briar with a variety of stylized mounts. Almost thirty distinctively different mount and band combinations are possible on any given pipe. Giancarlo passed away in 2012 after battling illness. In the months preceding his death he devoted a great deal of thought and energy towards the upcoming transition, and the ever-continuing progress of his legendary name. Today the Maestro's vision lives on and continues to evolve through the capable eyes and hands of five artisans. Gazing at the post-Giancarlo Ser Jacopos of today, there's no doubt that Guidis planning and tutelage guides the company’s continued success .>>
