    Which Pipe Do You Own That People Will Remember You By?

    Like many, I would hope I will be remembered for other things than my pipes. However, I guess if my grandkids would associate any given pipe with me, it would be Savinelli in a 645 shape. I have several and always seem to revert back to them. I carry them in my pocket, I carry them in my pipe...

    Do You Still Have Your First Pipe?

    Unfortunately not. It was a small, unbranded, bent billiard. Smoked the heck out of that thing for five-six years until I "upgraded". Then it got lost in one of my moves. It was a solid smoking little thing though.

    1q tobacco for a begginer (and where to find some ?)

    Samch: If you're in Greece, it'll be a bit more difficult. Option 1: Order from a US website and pay the shipping Option 2: You may want to go to a local pipe or tobacco shop (I recall there's one in Athens) and get their advice. I recall seeing some Captain Black, which is similar to 1-Q, and...

    Top Ten Summer Soft-Drinks for Piping Pleasure

    Good read ! Don't know if it was the intent, but here's my personal list: Softdrinks: Homemade Root Beer, I second the writers choice of blood orange soda. Since it's harder to find, I often resort to Club Soda with Blood Orange syrup (both Monin and Torani carry a blood orange flavor syrup)...

    Dental Nightmare, Pipe Smoking

    I had dental surgery just before Christmas. Not quite to the extent you're about to face, but still. It just involved removing an old impacted wisdom tooth (think gum removal, bone removal, tooth removal) I took off smoking for over a month. Given my surgery was way less, I'd say you are indeed...

    New Box Pass Thread

    :clap: The oldies around here have seen this happen again and again. And ultimately it all works out somehow. It's not a life or death situation. It's a cool thing that's nice and fun and it should remain that way. Now I'm going back to grabbing my popcorn, watch this show from the shadows and...

    Semois Tobacco from Vincent Manil Available in USA January 2014

    On my visits home I always swing by Windels and get a couple of cases of the Señorita and Corona cigars. I never leave without several pouches of their Semois, which is not as good as Vincent's, but decent. This is excellent news for us living on this side of the Atlantic. Great reporting by...

    Responses to Anti-Tobacco Intruders

    So much anger and attempts to reason with ignorant people... tsk tsk tsk. My response is usually one of (sarcastic) gratitude. It usually goes something like this: "Oh.. Thank you. I didn't realize. See, I just moved back to the civilized world from being a missionary on a deserted island in the...
