    Any pipe smoking Odd Fellows in the house?

    Pappymac, that is cool! Do you know exactly when he was a member? I’m trying to find out anything about the old Beaumont Lodge.

    Any pipe smoking Odd Fellows in the house?

    Folanator, close. But not quite. I am a big Monty Python fan though.

    Any pipe smoking Odd Fellows in the house?

    Greetings all. I was curious if there were any members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows here in the forums? I became interested in the order about 6 years ago after looking into the old IOOF Cemetery here in Beaumont, Texas. Well this past weekend I took my degrees(had to go to Houston...

    Rolling Pipe Tobacco?

    And let's not forget the old standards. Velvet and I believe Prince Albert were both once advertised as "Pipe And Cigarette" tobacco. I recently saw an Instagram post from Handlebar Mike (he also has a YouTube channel) where he was using a little rolling machine to make Cigarettes using Velvet...

    According tea(s) to tobacco(s)

    Ok, I'm a real tea novice(other than the iced sweet tea I grew up drinking) but I do love a good cup of Earl Grey now and then. But mostly I'm a dark roast coffee drinker and this question popped into my head. What teas steep best between 180-200 degrees Fahrenheit(the operating temp of most...

    It is still listed as in stock at smokingpipes.com however.

    Heine's Blend Still In Production?

    I noticed on Pipes and Cigars website that Heine's Blend is listed as "no longer available". Does that mean Sutiff has stopped making it (its still on their website) or the P&C has just stopped stocking it? Does anyone have any info about this?

    A Trip To Walgreens

    I have got to stop posting from my phone. That should read cobs. Not cons. My apologies.

    Found an Ascorti Business - Picture Heavy

    Please don't tell me that you found that one in a Beaumont antique shop too! If so, I'm really going to have to start browsing the local shops again. Beautiful pipe by the way. Congratulations on the find.

    A Trip To Walgreens

    CVS dropped all tobacco products to protect the public health(although you can still buy all the beer, wine and junk food you want). Their store brand was Admiral's Choice. The Walgreens here still carries their "Blenders Gold" blends. There were a few somewhat favorable YouTube reviews about...

    MacBaren Mixture Scottish Blend

    Jfred, I am by no means an expert when it come to pipe smoking. I had read all the reviews about MacBite etc and was a little dubious about trying this blend. So I just took it slow and have had no real tongue bite with this or with Plumcake either. It got a little "spicy" and tongue tingley...

    MacBaren Mixture Scottish Blend

    While mowing the backyard this evening, I had my third or fourth bowl of Scottish Blend and I have to tell y'all that the more of this I smith me the more I'm liking it. I loaded up my old estate sale Tinderbox Milano straight billiard(or Lovat, I'm not really sure what shape it is but it has a...

    A Nice Bowl Of Velvet

    The Mrs. and I had a garage sale today. (Sold a bunch of stuff and the Salvation Army gets the rest.). So we've been awake since the wee hours of this morning and are now quite exhausted. Now it's evening and all is done for the day. I'm sitting on the patio with our dogs and have just finished...

    Antique Shop Finds

    Pappymac- I know where both of those shops are but I've never been inside them. And why yes. As a matter of fact I do.

    Antique Shop Finds

    Hey Pappy, what antique shops in Beaumont did you visit? Although I don't actively scour the local shops I do occasionally wander through them. When I ask about pipes they act like they've never heard of pipes. I've had better luck at local estate sales. The wife found my Peterson Shamrock and...
