    Thinking Out Loud ?Best Type Of Pipe For Aromatic

    Tobacco is tobacco, pipes are pipes..It doesn't matter..But what does matter at times is chamber size and shape and the cut of the tobacco. Some chamber sizes or shapes handle certain cuts of tobacco better than others. As for what pipes I use for aros...In my youth I smoked aros almost...

    Pipes in WWII

    It seems to me that smoking on the battlefield might not have been the best of ideas, especially if you were trying to strategically keep your position discreet. Cigars or pipes would have been a no-no in my opinion. But warfare being what it is, anything such as ingestion of nicotine that might...

    Sutliff Old Professor: First Impressions

    With out getting into an argument about over drying tobacco because I have some pretty strong opinions on it which I know will ruffle some feathers around here I will just say this...I find that overly dry tobacco can lose a significant amount of it's flavor. This is especially true of...

    Looking For Nostalgic Room Note

    For me it's Edgeworth Ready Rub. But if you are looking for an old time nostalgia room note, give Pegasus a try.

    Smoke A Bowl For Wilson

    I lost one of my American Eskimos to cancer this past spring so you have my sympathy. I will smoke a bowl to your pup as well as mine. Dogs are literally sent to us by God. They are his or her gift to us.

    What Turned You on to Pipes?

    I grew up around pipe smokers..Father, both grandfathers and a couple of uncles all smoked pipes. They all smoked the usual OTC blends, Edgeworth, Granger, SWR, Bond Street, etc. By the time I was 8 or so I could tell the aroma of each blend and who it was associated with. So naturally as I got...

    Sutliff Old Professor: First Impressions

    My experience is somewhat different. While it does have a casing of food grade proplyene glycol (most bulk tobaccos do) I do not find it "shiny" and it leaves almost no sticky residue on my fingers. It's my experience that comparatively, It has no more moisturizer than that of most bulk tobacco...

    Sasquatch...Do You Believe They Exist? Have You Encountered One?

    I grew up in NJ and believe or not, we have our own legend of a bigfoot creature known as "Big Red Eye". Most of the sightings and encounters have taken place in the more rual Northwestern part of the state. Documented sightings and sounds seemed to have been more prevalent in the 1970s and...

    Ian Anderson

    I've seen Tull at least 4 times and Ian Anderson without the traditional Tull line up twice. Every concert ranged from enjoyable to phenomenal. Ian Anderson is indeed a perfectionist which many confuse as being an asshole but its a matter of perspective. I have never witnessed his abrasive side...

    Blue Room Briars Is Amazing

    I would like to add my 2 cents to the accolades that have been lavished on Blueroom Briars. I recently had a 40 plus year old Briar Workshop, Elliot Nachwalter pipe, restored by Jesse Jones and I have to say that he did an incredible job in restoring an old favorite that had seen much better...

    Sutliff Old Professor: First Impressions

    I happen to like this blend. As far as bulk english/Balkan blends go it is very smokable. It's complex enough to keep it interesting but yet easy going enough to smoke all day. Moisture level is about right as the pieces are generally springy and it jars well, but it does benefit from a short...

    Lane TK-6 vs. Cult Blood Red Moon

    I usually just list the different tobaccos and their percentages on the lable. But I kinda like the Pink Floyd reference.??
