  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Dan (Deadman's Point) just dropped this awesome newbie package on me.



The smell is intoxicating, I certainly have my work cut out for me.

A nice meerschaum cob, cleaners and a tool.

Absolutely stoked to get really into pipes, couldn't have expected this assortment. Thanks a bunch Dan!

I'm interested in your comparison between the Balkan Sobranie and White Knight. The vendor has a couple Balkan Sobranie matches that are marketed and produced over the last few years.

No comparison in my opinion. The White Knight was matched to an Sobranie. The new Balkan Sobranie is good in it's own way.

He just skipped the deep end of the pool and threw you right in to shark infested waters! Way to go, Dan!

I got the itch and decided to try pipe smoking. I just ordered some Meerschaum cob pipes and some sample tobaccos just to ge started and see how I like it.

That being said, Pipe Newbie here ready to jump into the deep end.

Ha... most say that it smells like smokey ketchup. Think of it like cigars... the best ones smell like a barnyard.
