Pockets are a pipesmoker's best friend. And we need a lot of them. The minimum for going out into the world is a pipe or two, a tobacco pouch, pipe cleaners, a lighter and tamper, and we need places to put those things, along with a wallet, phone, keys and pocket knife. ... Read More

Next time you find yourself talking with an accountant, think about all the pent up, unresolved creativity they're carrying around with them. They could at any moment break free and find a craft to bring equilibrium to their years of adding numbers, filling columns, and reconciling balances. At least, that's what happened to Silver Gray. ... Read More

The American Pipemaking Exposition has become an annual, 4th of July tradition since we introduced it in 2015.

Waking up in a strange place was not a particularly unusual experience for me in 1980, as that was a period of discovery. I was hoboing around the Gulf states, living mainly out of my car, working a job for a week here or there, exploring the lives of people in a very low income category, of which I was one. ...

Life After McClelland

Life After McClelland

Many have written to ask what I recommend as a replacement for McClelland, but there is no replacement for McClelland tobacco. Reasonable replications of particular blends are remotely possible, but not with the same ingredients used by McClelland, unless some tobacco company wants to start from the ground up ... Read More

Mark Twain, Samuel Clemens' pseudonym, is possibly the most recognizable pen name in literature, and the man himself is an irresistible historical figure for pipe enthusiasts, not only because he was instrumental in shaping an authentic American literary voice, but because he evidently smoked more than any other human being. ...
