The Salon is where we at EA Carey are able to communicate with our customers, and where the EA Carey community as a whole can interact with the wider world of pipe smoking.
From one of our Dutch customers… “Do you still repair pipes and are you able to provide replacement Magic Inch mouthpieces? When you had a Netherlands outlet we could order new pipes – is that still possible?”
Hi there. With our new website customers are able to buy pipes from us virtually anywhere in the world so please do go ahead. And as for repairs and replacements, we would need to take a look at the pipe in question as I’m assuming its quite old, but in principal yes we can.
My Goodness me, for how long have I felt a lone piper and now by chance I stumble upon this excellent and professional site full of Pipers!!
I have applied to join the club already.
A society without the gentle dignity of a well crafted pipe and piper is a desolate place indeed!!
Dear William, Our Black Aromatic No.2006 is a dark and satisfying blend of Black Cavendish laden with it’s own natural juices. For something a little lighter, our Soft Aromatic Mixture No.2004 has bright Virginia added to it for a milder smoke.
We now offer MINI samplers which enable you to try several blends without the need to purchase a 50gm pouch of each blend. Click here for more information: http://www.eacarey.co.uk/shop/tobacco.html?tobacco_style=98
Kind regards, Jenny
Hi guys,
You heard this one?
There were two skiers at the top of a slope arguing about the best way to ski to the bottom. One of the skiers put forward the argument that one should zig, zag, zig, zag whilst the other skier was adamant it was zag, zig, zag, zig.
To settle the argument they asked a passing man. The man responded that he didn’t know as he was a tobogganist.
Oh, said one of the skiers, in that case I’ll have a tin of Condor and a box of matches please.
A bit of fun for a Thursday morning – we are providing the pipe for the Opening Ceremony of the Chap Olympiad later this year in London, surely the ‘must attend’ event of the year?! http://www.thechapolympiad.com
Congratulations to Mr DH, winner of this month’s £10 voucher for his review of Carey’s Soft Aromatic Mixture Tobacco (amongst others). Thanks for contributing!
Hi Marcus,
Thanks for the voucher, much appreciated. I saw your film recently on You Tube and it’s nice to put a face to the name. I’ve also been pleased to see Jenny as I have been fortunate to correspond with her also.
I’m writing this whilst consuming a couple of glasses of red wine and a bowl of Erinmore flake in my Peterson Donegal Rocky 80s. I’m being specific as I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying both after a weeks work.
I would really like to aim this observation to new pipe smokers because I have only been a pipe smoker myself for two months or so. If you have just taken up the pipe and find you can’t find a tobacco, or indeed a pipe that you can be happy with then don’t stop trying different blends or different pipes. The reason I say this is because I am only just, after two months, really appreciating how certain tobacco blends smoke better in certain types of pipe. I currently have four favourite pipes, and find I have to match the blend to the pipe before I truly enjoy it. Try different pipes with different blends and be prepared to be astounded by the difference it makes. I make no apologies for the length of this post as I think new pipe smokers should be made aware of the fact that a tobaccos flavour can be truly enhanced by having a selection of pipes to smoke it in.
Thanks all at Careys.
Great comments Darren, many thanks for your input. I will post your thoughts on our Facebook and Twitter feeds as I think other new smokers will find them very informative. I also totally agree, having smoked tobacco in certain pipes and been entirely unimpressed and then stumled across a winning combination – no doubt one of the reasons pipe smoking continues to interest and amaze!
Good news today for fans of small pipes… we have dropped the price of Corn Cobs to only £8.95, and 10 Minute Magic Inch briars to £19.95. Happy smoking!
New blog post just uploaded – we’ve dusted off the showreel and put a little extra background to The Daily Telegraph Business Club film from last year…
As a result of sales of our limited edition Scott-Amundsen Centenary Pipe I am delighted to announce that we have been able to make a significant contribution to the Royal British Legion fund raising effort. Many thanks to our generous customers!
We’ve done the sums and despite an 8% increase in UK Tobacco Duty from 6pm today we’ll be keeping our tobacco price increase to about 6% in an effort to help our loyal customers.
Disappointing to see that the Budget 2012 has once again refused to achnowledge the difference between pipe smoking and other types of smoking. We will all be charged significantly extra in a bid to stop people taking up cigarettes…
Hi,
I have just ordered some tobacco’s from your wonderful site and am a fan of ennerdale flake tobacco.
Could you advise me which is the nearest flavour to ennerdale in your tobacco arsenal.
Thanks
Hi Daz,
Our Dark Flake No.7 contains Virginia and Burley (same as Ennerdale) so that could be a good equivalent.
We now offer special mini packs which enable you to try a couple of pipefuls of each blend (5g) without spending much money. They can be found on our website, No’s 2205 and 2405.
Its always nice to receive positive feedback, and this one particularly so… ‘You’re all absolute superstars – it arrived at my office today!
Thank you so much for dealing with this so promptly – you’ve made an old man very happy………& my dad will be very grateful as well!!!!!!!!!’
I can well remember the first Carey pipe that I purchased back in ninteen seventy eight. The deal at the time was that you could order a magic inch Cary pipe smoke it for a month and if it wasn’t the sweetest, coolest and dryest pipe that you had ever smoked, then you could smash it with a hammer, send back the pieces and you didn’t pay a thing. I still have my original pipe and enjoy smoking it today. In those days, they were London made of fine mediteranian briar. It still looks the most handsom pipe in my collection along with several others. They still keep that promise even today. Good old fashioned value for money. Keep up the good work and best wishes.
Many thanks for your comments George! We aren’t able to offer that ‘buy it, smoke it, smash it, return it’ any more for legal reasons but the campaign is fondly remembered by many…

Heading to the Palace tonight for the Race to the Pole Welcome Home Party! Will post a quick article once back from the hallowed halls…
A superb selection of tobacco. I like Old English Number 7 – but I have also taken a liking to Bruno.
Many thanks to doc’spipe for his great review of 2033 Bruno Special – we’re pleased you’re so happy with it!
