Opinions
This is kind of a pointless thread. Why are men so whiny and indecisive these days? Do what you want, Mahew. If you enjoy pipe smoking and want to encourage your ADULT son, then just do it. There are much more dangerous or expensive things than pipe smoking. And don't listen to Warren. He's a...- quint

Health Benefits Of Tobacco
I totally agree. Genetics plays the biggest part. Strict, non-smoking vegetarian health nuts sometimes dying from lung cancer at 25. Cigarette chain smokers sometimes living to be 100. There are no guarantees in life. Enjoy it while you can.- quint

Non-Aro Vs. Aro Status -- A Shift
Same here. I enjoy my Englishes once in a while, but I smoke mostly Carter Hall, Amphora Green (Rich Aroma), and Amphora Red (Full Aroma). All three are aros, but good quality aros that taste great, aren't soaked in PG, and smoke cool. I think Cosmic is right to call the low quality aros...- quint

Non-Aro Vs. Aro Status -- A Shift
Well, it seems younger people usually like sweet and fruity flavors, so I guess new young smokers are automatically attracted to the cheaper aromatics. Unfortunately the pouch smell and room note usually doesn't translate into flavor. And it doesn't help that many tobacco shop employees...- quint

Tongue Burn
In my opinion, the most common factor of a burnt tongue and mouth is improper drying of the tobacco before smoking, thus causing the smoker to puff more quickly in an attempt to keep the moist tobacco lit. This excessive puffing creates hot steam, which burns the tongue and mouth. The dryer the...- quint

Carter Hall - Bad Flavour
Smokertruck, try microwaving the amount of one bowl on a small plate for 20-30 seconds on high setting to dry it and then smoke it immediately afterward. I didn't like the taste of CH so much straight out of a freshly opened tub, but since I started microwaving to dry it out, it's good stuff...- quint

Email from 4Noggins.
Rich, enjoy your retirement! You were always great to deal with and I never once had a problem with my overseas orders. Hmm. That's an old news article from 2001. If that is the same guy, maybe the whole thing is no longer relevant.- quint

What Is With All the Links To Threads Instead Of Answers?
I don't really feel like searching through the forums for specific threads. It would be easier just to name the couple of names (everyone already knows who they are), but I know that's not appropriate. Let's just say that it's done in a way so as to not break the board rules too much and draw...- quint

What Is With All the Links To Threads Instead Of Answers?
Well-said, kola. I have to agree. It is only a handful of crusty old members here that occasionally post rude/childish responses for attention, or gang up on members they don't agree with. And when someone calls one of them out, the rest come running to defend him. Most members (and all the...- quint

A Few "Non-Smoker Newbie" Thoughts
Yes, very nice room note. You will get a lot of compliments. CH burns cool with no bite because it is mostly burley containing very little casing, plus it has an excellent pineapple/mango/coconut flavor. Try drying it first before smoking, because I think it tastes much better that way. I nuke...- quint

Smoking a Pipe While Walking
Me too. I usually walk for exercise, and smoke my pipe for relaxation. Cannot do both at the same time. Besides, I usually prefer indoor smoking, unless the weather is perfect.- quint

What Is With All the Links To Threads Instead Of Answers?
Hmm. I have to agree with cigrmaster. If the trend of members posting links instead of answers accelerates, then this place will eventually wither away and die. Seen it happen to other boards. The less the activity, the less people will visit. Nothing kills a question thread quicker than a link...- quint

How Many Bowls Per Day? Yeah Yeah I Know It's Been Asked Before
Same here. 3-5 a day (depending on the blend strength) in medium bowls. But they know better than you, and it's for your own good. Don't you realize that? :wink:- quint
