    First Time Plumcake Smoker

    Plumcake is one great tobacco. I only smoke three or four tobaccos at a time, and Plumcake and MM965 are the only two that haven't left that group once.

    Hey folks, I'll be heading up to Baltimore in a few weeks for a conference. Are any of you Baltimore locals? If so, what's your local B&M? I'd like to check out a couple.

    Frank Underwood. Would have added to the mania.

    Seasonal Tobacco Interests?

    Sounds like some experience a change and others don't. Today was especially blustery and overcast, and I found myself gravitating towards MM965. Could be more mood based than seasonal. Though, seasons do affect my moods. I suspect I'll try to squeeze in another bowl tonight before this...

    Seasonal Tobacco Interests?

    I'm still pretty new to pipe smoking, but I noticed pretty early on that my taste gravitated towards English and Lat blends. However, I started smoking a pipe during the winter. The past few days, we've had a taste of Spring warmth here in TN. Suddenly, I noticed myself craving aromatics...

    Virginia, great information. Thank you! Any other particular sources you've in mind? Sable, thanks for the list! I've already found a copy of Ehwa's book. I plan to take advantage of this weather and flip through it today.

    Discovering English Blends

    +1 for Dunhill MM 965. The best English I've had so far. So balanced, smooth. It's also very forgiving to smoking technique. There's a reason why it's considered a classic. Just a pleasure to smoke.

    Looking for Historical Information about Pipe Smoking

    I've been wanting to do a little research on pipe smoking throughout history, particularly the 19th Century. More specifically, I'm wondering what kind of tobacco and pipes were most likely to be smoked by certain groups--for instance, Naval and Whaling ships, Railroad laborers, the Upper-class...

    Views from the Porch

    Ranger, that's beautiful. Does the piece in the middle of the pond double as a fountain? Vabriar, good luck on the move. Post a pic of the view once you get settled in!

    Cob or Briar? W/hy not both?

    I love this. I love my cobs, but the added sweetness to a tobacco is sometimes off-putting to me. I prefer briar, but I love the look of a cob. I'd like to own something like this some day. Great work!

    Views from the Porch

    I've seen some of the pictures that have been uploaded on various threads of the beautiful views from a smoking porch, and I thought it'd be a nice topic for a thread. My own view is nothing special, except for the looming Buffalo Mountain on the horizon. At sunset, the sun falls right beside...

    How to Pre-carbonize a Bowl

    This may not be in the correct forum. If not, just let me know. I'm wondering how pipemakers pre-carbonize a bowl. What exactly is the process? Can't seem to find much information via Google (or I'm just not searching for the correct terms).
