Kelly's Pick

January 28, 2011 by Adam Davidson

I sat down with Kelly McLaughlin - our cigar expert in the store - to chat about one of his favorite smokes. Our store, Low Country Pipe & Cigar puts together a local email newsletter that features special selections and notes for many of our walk-in customers, so it seems fitting to extend some of his passion here on our blog. ...

Misc. Estate: Unknown Baby's Foot with Extended Big Toe

Misc. Estate: Unknown Baby's Foot with Extended Big Toe

January 27, 2011 by Ted Swearingen

This awe-inspiring and truly magical work of art comes to us from some long forgotten box of oddities likely stashed away for decades in a hateful basement filled with dead dreams. Verily, it is a shame that this pipe, something so beautiful and magnificent, should come to us void of context and without any hint of its heritage. ... Read More

Nasal snuff (powdered tobacco taken through the nose) has been around for centuries. It was first observed by Ramon Pane (a monk) in present-day Haiti during the 1493-1496 voyage of Christopher Columbus. Natives of the Americas were surely using it long before Columbus arrived. ... Read More

Many are the men who proudly hang their diplomas upon the walls of their offices, or line their dens with trophies of sport or the hunt. Jean Bart likely did not have many formal awards in recognition of athletic prowess lining his den... ... Read More

Cob in a Cob!

Cob in a Cob!

January 5, 2011 by Ted Swearingen

Adam came rushing into my office again. "Cob in a cob!" he exclaimed dramatically. This time I knew exactly what he meant. Adam has been looking for an excuse for the two of us to smoke a couple of corn cob pipes that we've had sitting around the building for the last couple of weeks. ... Read More

Project: Lakeland

January 4, 2011 by Ted Swearingen

Last week, Adam stole me from my office during the middle of the day. He had a wild look about him, most notably around the eyes, his lips were pursed and his breath was eager. In his left hand he grasped a pair of Stanwell pipes, one of which he nearly violently handed to me. ... Read More

When I first had the idea to do a brief blog post about clay pipes, I soon realized that it is actually a huge subject that could fill many books (and actually has).

On a rather chilly, blustery Saturday morning, Hiroyuki Tokutomi pulled up at my hotel to pick me up for the three hour drive to Maebashi, a mid-sized city on at the northwestern fringe of the Kanto plain. ... Read More

Day One in Japan

Day One in Japan

December 17, 2010 by Sykes Wilford

These are all photos from my first day in Japan. Kei Gotoh and Takeo Arita picked me up at my hotel in the morning and we visited (I had no idea this was planned) a small museum of work by the celebrated painter Gyokudo Kawai, known for his naturalistic melding of traditional Japanese artistic themes with western modernist influences. ...
