    Drinks That Sting

    Some drinks (like beer and soda) sting my mouth during or after smoking a pipe. Why is this so and what drinks are suitable for pipe smoking?

    Makeshift Travel Kits

    Sorry, I got so many questions. What do you guys use to carry your pipes/tobacco/tools, etc. when going out, especially if bringing a big bag is inconvenient? Buildings here have only one small designated smoking area and I want to take a small kit with me when I go out to smoke. I used to use...

    Cheap vs Expensive Pipes?

    I only started pipe smoking a couple of months ago and I started with cheap Chinese cobs (around $2 each). I upgraded and bought a few MM cobs and now i know the difference between good and bad cobs. It's true, you'll learn a lot by experience and keeping at it. I only have a couple of briars...

    Lane vs. Captain Black

    I read somewhere from tobacco reviews that Lane's 1-Q, RLP-6 and BCA are actually Captain Black Royal, White and Cherry respectively, but without the preservatives. CB puts them in to preserve shelf life. Is this true? I'm asking because Captain Black is the most widely available (vs only 3...

    Only Three Containers Of Tobacco

    Thanks so much to everyone who responded. I'll consider each of your suggestions. To answer some concerns: - shipping here is EXPENSIVE! There's a minimum $20 shipping fee, plus taxes (might be 100%, might be 200%, I don't know yet) - only 4 brands available here: Macbaren, Csptsin Blsck...

    Only Three Containers Of Tobacco

    Once again, I need your help, oh wise masters. I only began smoking a couple of months ago and I've only tried 3 brands (out of the 4 available in my country). My girlfriend would be travelling to the US in a month and she agreed to buy me ONLY 3 containers of tobacco. Needless to say, I need...

    I bought the rolling tobacco by mistake

    @jpmcwjr I'm alive, no need for the missus to break out the champagne just yet! Sorry it took a while to get around to testing, but I did just a few minutes ago. As a disclaimer, I am new to piping and cannot make a proper review since this is only the 3rd type of tobacco I've ever tried. I...

    I bought the rolling tobacco by mistake

    Thanks to everyone who replied! Looks like the ayes far outnumber the nays so I'm gonna give it a go.

    I bought the rolling tobacco by mistake

    In my country, there are so many warning stickers covering up the tobacco packaging. Add the stamps, tags and other stickers, they end up covering more than half of the pack. To cut a long story short, instead of getting a MacBaren Original pipe tobacco, I came home with a MacBaren Original...

    Very limited pipe tobacco in Asia

    Wow! I'm really delighted with all your replies! I found another brand they sell locally here, Borkum Riff. That's my third stock and I'm beginning to discern some differences: which one is sweet, which one smokes hot, which one burns completely, etc. Maybe I'll find a deeper appreciation when...

    Very limited pipe tobacco in Asia

    mso489 - yes, I believe I can order online. I will just need to know what to get and do research on which sites can be the most cost-effective. The local online stores don't seem to have pipe tobacco. Harris - thank you for your suggestions! I will definitely look those up. Smoking flakes...

    Odd, Strange, Or Exotic Things You Have Eaten Plus Tobacco...

    Balut is partially developed duck egg. There's also deep fried day-old chick on a stick. We also have "jumping salad," little live shrimp with onions. They jump around when you squeeze lemon or add vinegar.
