    Not New, Just Back

    Our company no longer allows access to the site from my work computer. I replaced my home computer and never got around to adding the forum. Looks like it's been about a year! At least I am back on at home.

    Whats the difference between a hippo and a Zippo? One is heavy and the other is a little lighter... Made you look.

    The Holy Grail?

    I may have found the Holy Grail of pipe tobacco! Yes, I have found a pipe tobacco my wife not only enjoys me smoking, but even encourages me to smoke. She said she loves the smell of it on me and asked me to smoke a bowl before bed the other night! Its a house blend from a local B&M they call...

    Good mistake?

    I won't go into too much detail but the short long story is, I got home with the wrong tobacco. I went in for their limited house Christmas blend. He put something called "My Blend" in the sack and off I went. I was NOT happy when I opened the bag at home, but the place is well over an hour one...

    Half & Half blast from the past

    My flee market find this weekend: Its in perfect shape. I remember seeing this as a kid. An E-bay ad says made in the 60's. But I think they where made after that, anyone know? Its not worth anything, but I didn't pay much either, great addition to my collection of junk I'll never use...

    Forum change?

    Did something change with the forum yesterday? In the morning everything was fine, then something changed. Everything is small and very hard to read? I visit several other forums and nothing is different with them?

    Early V-day

    My wonderful wife tells me that the local paper has a coupon for Dr. Graybow pipes. Its in the Valentines Day gift suggestions! So with her help I pick out my gift; a Dr. Graybow freehand: It smokes great, and as of right now, is the favorite pipe in my small collection.

    A "better pipe"

    My "best" pipes so far are Dr. Gradow's, I have four different ones and I am not unhappy with them. Seems like the longer I use them the better they get. But I would like to consider a "better" pipe, I really think I would like to try a Peterson, but am not stuck on the idea. My big issue is...

    Its almost been a year now

    My first year in, or there bouts. I started out with Carter Hall I heard it was a good over the counter blend that had been around forever. And I could find it everywhere. I also tried Prince Albert because it was my grand father’s favorite blend. After doing a lot of online research I called...

    Resting awhile

    I am amazed at how some tobacco flavors change just be being opened. I wouldn't have thought about this, without reading the forum. I have been revisiting some of my first purchases and some have really benefited from the wait. How do you keep track of such things? I am not sure I am ready to...

    Flake, how to?

    I picked up some Virginia Flake last visit to a B&M. I see people rolling it up and stuffing it, and I see people that tear it apart first? What do you recommend? Also, do you tend to use a larger bowl pipe for flake? Thanks

    Chicago area

    Looks like I will be spending the night in Chicago this Thursday, may have some spare time in the evening. Should be near Ohare airport. Any suggestions on tobacco shops near there? There is no place near me that sells tinned tobacco, would love to pick some up. Driving in from the south, so...

    How often do you change your paper filter? How often and how do you clean your pipe? I have read something about pipe "sweetener"? -------------------------- Thread title fixed. Please see rule 9 here along with the rest of the forum rules - Kevin --------------------------

    New shop!

    Went with my BIL to a smoke shop today. It is on my way home from work, but neither of us had ever been there before. They had a big selection of pipes and tobacco. I picked up a new Dr. Grabow Lark, my BIL found a bent Lark. I picked up some Carter Hall and a zipper pouch that holds a pipe...

    Last day of January

    Took my dog for a walk in the woods this afternoon, wonderful mid winter day around here. Loaded up my pack with my new pipes and some blend. I actually tried the new Missouri hardwood pipe. It was really cheap at the tobacco shop I visited yesterday. My plan is to use this pipe woods...

    Dad's pipes

    This may sound crazy to some folks, but maybe not you guys. My father passed 24 years ago, and one of the things I got of his was a pipe collection. I am still not sure why I got it, as both my brothers smoked, but I never did, other than an occasional cigar or pipe. After having the...

    How many to start???

    I have not smoked a pipe in years, I would guess about 20. Never did much to start with, but I have a notion to give it a go. Found a local tobacco shop that claims 20+ tobaccos in bulk that I could sample. My question is how many should I start with? The lady said come in and smell a...
