This was my first pipe - but not my favorite pipe

This being my first pipe, I really want to like it. However, after paying 50 for this, I much prefer my $14 dollar dugout. This gives me a much weaker hit, and it's fast coming in. After trying it a few times, and realizing that I was an inexperienced smoker, I put this down because I just didn't like the experience of using it. After about a year, I picked this up again and it just isn't as enjoyable as my dugout or anything else I've used. This just isn't for me, but it is well made and I'll use it a bit more - it was too expensive to let it sit idle.

Hits like a dream.. but the black color peels

The pipe legit it’s gorgeous. Love the feel the it in my hands. It hits so amazing and smooth for no carb it’s great. It’s truly never clogs or gets anything in my mouth. The only flaw is the color is peeling or rubbing off when I clean it. ( I used olive oil as instructed) but the flip side is the customer service team is always amazing and wonderful. They helped me out right away.

I love it, easy to use

• olive oil coating

LOVE the Journey Pipe!

Fabulous design, and flawless to use. Just wipe it with a light olive oil coating after each cleaning, and it makes things so much easier down the line.

Delivers the wrong colour

At least everything works as aspected

Excellent pipe!

Great design, super easy to clean, no screens to worry about, great to hold in your hand and last but not least, smokes wonderfully! What’s not to not like about this pipe… nothing!

Functional piece of art

I absolutely love this pipe. And while it's a little bit of a pain in the **** to clean it every time I use it, it's worth it. Love that there is no screen to clean or worry about. Huge selling point for me. Worth the investment in my opinion.

Love my Journey 3

I purchased the Journey 3 after trying a friend's. It's a beautifully designed, crafted and engineered piece. It smokes cool and is so easy to keep absolutely clean with a simple wipe up with olive oil after use. The pipe's three pieces come apart easily to allow complete access for the cleanup. The case it comes in is sweet as well, with a compartment for the pipe and a separate compartment for stash. I'm very happy with my purchase and as long as I din't lose it, it should last a lifetime. Smokea, as always shipped the iece quickly and with discrete packaging.

• General Pipe Smoking Discussion

• Oct 2, 2019

I have settled in for a couple of days after my recent 2 week trip to the Russian Federation. As promised, here are my thoughts about pipe smoking in Russia. I spent a week in Moscow and a week in Saint Petersburg. I may have only this limited data to draw upon, but, I found the pipe smoking situation in Russia to be much the same as it is in the U.S. There are not tons of tobacco shops and most are of the vape and RYO variety that you see in the States. Pipes and smoking were not the main focus of my trip. I did, however, enter every tobacco shop that I came across. I believe that I entered around 6 shops in Moscow and another 6 in St. Petersburg. A couple of these shops were not much larger than the average American suburban closet. These smaller shops usually had a wealth of cigarettes, a fair selection of RYO pouches from various parts of the world, a small assortment of cigars (sometimes one or two cubans in the mix), and either a couple of MB pipe tobaccos or none at all. They all had 2-6 basket pipes for show. I shopped one tobacco shop in Moscow, on Arbat St. (the preeminent walking shopping district), that was closer in size to an American entertainment district shop, that had a nicer selection and a very nice proprietor. They had tins/pouches by SG, GH, MB, Peterson, Condor, and a couple of C&D. The shopkeeper had, what I would term, an amateurish knowledge of the products, but much better than one would see in the typical American vape shop. They do not appear to have a problem obtaining SG or GH tobaccos. The Peterson and “American” brands were harder for him to get. There were no bulk tobaccos here (or at any of the shops). I have quite a decent variety in my cellar so, I was only seeking to purchase U.S. ”unobtainium”. I bought some SG Night and SG Black Cherry. They did have all the usual SG tins from FVF to Squadron leader but, I luckily have pounds of all the SG products that we can (occasionally) buy stateside. I probably should have picked up some Condor, as I don’t recall ever smoking it. However, I was shopping with my wife that day and I wanted to keep the touring going, and had hopes of scoring bigger fish later in my trip. Unfortunately, that big fish was never to strike. The one St. Petersburg shop that actually had any quality tins/pouches was the Casa Del Habano in St. Petersburg. They had about a dozen pipe tobaccos (SG, GH, and Stanwell). All of these I either had or (in the case of the Stanwells) I could easily get. Natalia, the lovely shopkeeper at the Casa Del Habanos, admittedly, knew nothing about pipe tobacco and queried me about them. (She was, as one would suspect, a Habanos expert and I will post a review of my wonderful experience there in the cigars section). The great Russian tobacco search was not totally in vain. The Russian online site pipeshop.ru (recommended by paulie66scandinavian ) has a St.Petersburg location that can be entered if an advance call is made. They have an enviable stock of many tobaccos that never see our shores. The bad news is that my wife got a serious throat infection the last few days of the trip and I ended up deleting this stop from my itinerary. I will, however, rectify this omission by placing an order with them to be sent to my Russian summer home to begin my Russian cellar. I will update on this later as well. Russian shopping itself was very pleasurable. English is either spoken or posted to some degree and communication was not a chore. All transactions can be consummated with a finger on your iPhone. I paid with Rubles one time and with a physical credit card once. Prices were quite good. The exchange rate undoubtedly helps with this but, the tins were comparable or cheaper than US B/M (or some online sites). Food was cheap as well but, that is for another place and discussion. I hope this illuminates a bit.  

BTW. I do not recall seeing any pipes being smoked on the whole of my journey. This is similar to my home grounds. Putin has a health push (he is a big health advocate) similar to ours. Vaping and cigarette smoking seemed to be preportional to US levels. I did pickup some Sobranie Black Russian cigarettes that, I have not seen stateside in a few decades and a pack of Standard cigs which, were the smokes of the old USSR prols.  

That was an interesting read. Thanks for sharing your experience. I doubt my travels will ever bring me to Russia, but I appreciate hearing about pipesmoking in other countries anyhow.  

PaulTheScandinavian

@dcon , Thanks for sharing your tobacco shopping experience,in Russia as you may already know takes a little bit effort and time to get there'But yes , Amphora line up and G&H blends are pretty well represented nationwide,I was more than surpriced when You mentioned Condor' has landed there as well,in Moskva at least, as for the PipeShop.ru ,I'd adive to keep in touch with them those folks wont let you down,that's for sure,yet it might be worthwhile to mention they have pretty comprehensive selection of various pipes from which to choose from, both lower and higher ends manufactures + artisan ones ,in the past I have bought one Altinay meer ,one Peterson, and one Radice Rind from there, and was happy with their service, yet good thing is that the store managers are both what we call pipe enthusiast and are supposed to know their trade, Mr Lev,the co-owner smoke himself uniquely Former pipes, that tells something of his passion I guess Ps, Speaking of the traditional Russian Cigarettes called Papirosy, there are still few left which are mainly produced for export market and can only be found at tobacconist shops, namely, Tri Bogotyrja and Gertsegovina Flor, not to forget the Belomorkanal brand which' is rather for local domestic consumption costing 1 euro  

Very interesting.How did you like Russia?  

cosmicfolklore

Pipe smoking is maybe too much of a materialistic thing to have survived communism? After you've shared your pipe and tobacco with the neighbors, you probably would feel less compelled to stand in line for hours to get more. puf  

cosmic Russians do "enjoy" a good line. However, I am not sure that the ultra-capitalism that exists in Russia today would be recognized by Americans. The Russians used to be notorious smokers (perhaps to a greater extent than the America I knew in the 60s). Having a Russian born wife, having studied the country a large amount, and now having visited; I can state categorically that, the average American perception of the USSR and of the current Russian Federation (both good and bad) is not exactly reality. I will try not to venture in to the political but...  

lelik I enjoyed my first trip there. My wife inherited a place a few hours outside of Moscow that we will be summering in when I retire in 3 years. I still have not been there. The two cities are a very enticing mix of old (sometimes ancient) and ultra-modern. I went to a mall in St. Petersburg that makes anything in NY or LA pale in comparison. Commerce was thriving despite the belief that the economy is stagnate. I am a politics and history fanatic so, I could not possibly absorb all that there was to witness in just two weeks. The palaces, churches ( yes, they not only have them but, by the hundreds+), and historical sites were breathtaking. One could spend weeks at the Hermitage alone.  

cortezattic

Thanks for posting some interesting observations.  

Good read thanks for sharing!!  

I would like to see St. Petersburg. IF I were to go there.  

instymp it is quite the amazing city. Prior to going, I would have thought that it would be pretty new and sterile, believing that much had been destroyed in the Battle of Leningrad. To my surprise, much of the city itself remained intact and buildings hundreds of years old lined many of the streets. The only place that I visited that the Nazis had substantially damaged (and had been ’restored’) was Petrogof, the Summer Palace.  

Glad you had a good trip dcon. I've been going at least once a year since the early 1990s, have spent several years there cumulatively (mostly Petersburg lately) and married into a Russian family 15 years ago, God help me. The pace of change in the capitals really hasn't let up over the last 25 years. It's alternately astonishing and sad. For future trips, make sure to check out supertabak dot ru when in the capitals. That's kind of their equivalent of SPC, and they have lots of stuff we can't get in the States. You order online and can either pick it up at a subway station the same day or get it delivered by courier pretty much immediately if you're in town. Most the pipe tobacco trade is person-to-person, though. The Moscow and Petersburg pipe clubs are, of course, legendary. My father in law won the Moscow slow smoking championships a couple times, which he's justifiably proud of.  

Fascinating!! I love stuff like this. And, I thought driving my wife six hours to visit her relatives was outrageous.

I would like to tell my story of Direct Consular Filing for CR-1 visa in Moscow.

Slade&Natasha’s experience helped us VERY much. Thank you guys!!!

Slade&Natasha's med exams

Slade&Natasha's interview

First I must say that generally we spent 2 months for the whole procedure. It could be much for faster if we received letters with petition approval (from USCIS) and case number (from Immigration Visa Unit) on time (you can see timelines in my signature – thanks to Russian post). So my advice is the following: if you did not receive your approval letters in a week – you can start to e-mail regarding that matter the USCIS and IV Unit (contacts are at their web-sites). We received our case number via e-mail and the next day we received the registered letter at our post office…

Me and my American husband have married on December 31, 2011. As he lives in Moscow for more than 6 months, we decided to try DCF ‘cause it seemed to us the best way to get immigrant visa in our situation.

I-130 - petition filing

We prepared all necessary docs, and on January 23, 2012 Alex went to the Embassy to file the petition. It is to be filed from 1.00 until 4.00 pm. He came at 1.00 to the Embassy and around 2.00 he called me for me to come to the Embassy for interview (the officer told him that we are married not for a long time that’s why we should be interviewed together). Alex paid for I-130 form 420$.

My work is not very far from the US Embassy, so I came there in 30 minutes, although the officer said that it would be ok if we come back together the next day. So we entered the Embassy, then we were waiting for the officer for 40 minutes, than she came (blond smiley lady about 45 years old). When we were sitting together, she asked to give her all documents re: Alex’s stay in Russia for more that 6 months (temporary registration, apartment rent agreement, letter from supervisor that Alex lives in this apartment, labor agreement, certificate from workplace) and ALL our proofs of relationship (wedding photos, joint photos during the period of not married, telephone calls specifications with telephone number agreements - mine and Alex’s, letters from my parents and our friends re: our great love and happiness etc. I mean ALL that we had, even those docs that we prepared just in case). Oh yes, we don’t have any joint property, joint apartment rent agreement or joint bank account etc, that’s why the lady asked a lot about proofs of our relationship and always said: “What else do you have?” And that’s how we gave her all our huge ‘mountain’ of docs.

The lady said that we will receive approval or denial via DHL in two weeks (see above when we did receive it. AND we received not via DHL – we received simple registered letters sent via Russian post).

Then she asked Alex to go out and interviewed me about 40 minutes. She asked about names of our parents, places of residence, how, when and where did we meet, when we started to live together, what I like most about my husband, about the wedding (ring, dress, guests, party). She also looked at some photos and asked when and where they were taken (in café, in forest at weekends etc). She asked why there were so few people at our wedding (12 persons) and why did we choose the date on December 31. She asked what I am going to do in USA (housewife or working), if we are going to have kids etc.

So it was a real examination in a very friendly manner.

Also she offered me a translator, but I speak English quite well, and I refused. But if you need one - you can ask the officer to invite translator.

Then she asked me to go out and invite Alex. The officer interviewed him very quickly, about 15-20 minutes, and as I could hear (Alex spoke loudly) – she asked him same questions (as I think - to compare our answers). It took generally 3 hours (including time that Alex was at the Embassy alone and time I spent to reach the Embassy from my work).

Medical examination

I passed med exam in Hospital n.a. Filatov.

I called 8-499-254-90-28. The lady at phone told me to come on March 2 at the address: Shkolhaya street, 49 – Family clinic ‘Chudo doktor’ (Rimskaya metro station – exit to Shkolnaya street). It took 5 minutes to reach the clinic, it’s very easy to find. I had appointment at 9.00 am and I was the single person to the med exam (no queue at all). I visited the therapist, then gave my blood to analysis, then went to another department of the clinic (down the street 5 minutes) for fluorography, then returned to the therapist. That’s it. It took generally 1 hour.

I had with me:

- 5500 rubles;

- info about my vaccinations (I had all necessary, but if you do not have it all or any – the whole vaccination costs 1500 rubles);

Then on March 5 I came to Hospital n.a. Filatov at the address: Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya street, 15, bld. 11, 1st floor, office 104A (You’d better ask security guy at the entry how to reach bld. 11) – Barrikadnaya metro station, the sole exit.

There was only one married couple and me in the queue, and they received very quickly there med exam results, so I did not wait for a long time.

There the doctor asked me some questions and filled very quickly a questionnaire, then asked to wait while he entered info about my vaccinations into special form for the Embassy, then the lady gave me a sealed envelope. It took generally 30 minutes (including waiting in the queue).

- foreign passport;

- 2 color photos 3x4 cm (black&white photos are acceptable);

- info about vaccinations;

- all docs given to me in ‘Chudo doktor’.

I must say that both in ‘Chudo doctor’ and Hospital n.a. Filatov all was very quick and clear and friendly.

I registered at ustraveldocs.com, appointed my interview and printed the invitation with bar-code. As fast as you receive your case number from IV Unit – as soon you can appoint interview (see my advice above re: case number receipt).

On March 16 I came to the Embassy at 7.40 am. There was a quite big queue, but I stood at its top (and no one told me a word), and at that moment the police officer started to let people in. I was nearly 15th in the queue. There were a lot of immigrant visa applicants, so I did not try to pierce through the queue and stayed at my place, moreover the queue moved very fast. At the entrance security woman checked my passport and interview appointment.

I left my cell phone at the storage (bottle of water stayed with me). By the way, inside there are automates with food. Then I passed through security and then to the window that was first at my way. There the young lady checked the bar-code at my appointment and said where I should go further.

I went upstairs, said my name to the lady at the window 1 and started to wait for my turn. I did not pay for visa first.

When the lady in the window 1 said to speakerphone my name, I passed to the window, and she asked to give her some docs:

(we prepared A LOT of docs, but the following are the only that the lady in window asked to give)

- I-864 of petitioner, his tax transcripts from IRS for 2010 (he did not file taxes for 2011 ‘cause his income was too law – under 9500 $);

-I-864 of joint sponsor, his taxes for 2011 (we had forms 1040 and W2);

- medical exams;

- 2 photos;

- my foreign passport and copy of the page with photo (copy of page with photo was optional);

- my birth certificate – copy with translation and original;

- military certificate – copy with translation and original;

- marriage certificate – copy with translation and original.

BUT I’m sure that it is best to err on the safer side than not to bring something useless at your point of view, but could be necessary to the consul.

When she took all docs, she said to pay for visa in window 4 (you can pay in rubles and in dollars. I paid 404$ and I do not advise you to pay in rubles ‘cause the exchange in the Embassy is 1USD = 32 (!!!!!) Rubles) out of turn and to bring her a receipt. After that she told to pass to the window 5 for fingerprints (at 8.15 the window was empty, but the ladies in windows 1, 2 and 3 – Russian by the way - that were taking docs from applicants - told everyone to wait about 40 minutes – and the officer in window 5 appeared). Procedure is really fast. After fingerprints I gave back my passport to the lady in window 1, and she told me to wait. All very friendly.

All above mentioned windows are located in one big room with rows of chairs for applicants waiting for their turn, and you can freely watch the interview of every person.

At 9.45 to windows 2 and 3 came two ladies – consuls (American ladies). They started to look through applicants’ documents and invite them to their windows (look through documents – 10-15 minutes, interview – 5-10 minutes).

Then she told that visa is approved, and I will receive my passport in a week via Pony Express. The whole interview took 5-6 minutes. Ladies-consuls speak Russian quite well, but if you want you can speak English.

So generally I spent 3 hours 20 minutes at the Embassy (came at 7.40, went out at 11.00).

I received passport with visa and the sealed big envelope not in a week, but in 2 working days – on March 21 - at the address of my office (as I specified by appointing interview at ustraveldocs.com) without any problems. I also received all our photos back, and even the written summary of our answers at the first joint interview while petition filing (when me and Alex were interviewed separately).

Best regards and good luck!

One little remark: exchange course USD 1 = RUB 32 was on March 16. It could be different on another day. So I had with me the sum for visa both in rubles and dollars.

About this book

This book is devoted to combinatorial aspects of the theory of symmetric functions. This rich, interesting and highly nontrivial part of algebraic combinatorics has numerous applications to algebraic geometry, topology, representation theory and other areas of mathematics. Along with classical material, such as Schur polynomials and Young diagrams, less standard subjects are also covered, including Schubert polynomials and Danilov–Koshevoy arrays. Requiring only standard prerequisites in algebra and discrete mathematics, the book will be accessible to undergraduate students and can serve as a basis for a semester-long course. It contains more than a hundred exercises of various difficulty, with hints and solutions. Primarily aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, it will also be of interest to anyone who wishes to learn more about modern algebraic combinatorics and its usage in other areas of mathematics.
