    Where do you keep your tobacco?

    Hello! I've always wondered for the best way to keep your pipe tobacco. I have already stored a few blends I got in glass jars and left it there for some months (half and Half and Lane RHQ-3, improved flavor). But the real quetionsis, do you keep your tobacco tins and pouches together? Do you...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (July 2015)

    I finally got my hands into Escudo. I live in a country where pipe tobacco is almost close to non-existant and pipe culture is only down to a few. You can only find cheap drugstore blends. But a friend brought me Escudo, and i am smoking it in my first pipe, a "Whitehall DryCool" briar pipe...

    Old pipe stems.

    Hello. From what materials were pipe stems made in days past? Bone, ivory, woods? What woods lend to be themselves good pipe stems if that were the case? I've been researching and finding bits and pieces of information but its always better to have pipe enthusiasts speak about the details. Thank...

    Good Old Faithfull Tobaccos

    Well to be honest I haven't smoked any straight virginias. Or Im being quite ignorant. I only used to get tongue bite and gurgling from those nasty flavoured brands. Now, I have only had tongue bite from H&H or Dunhill if i drawed too hard on my pipe; but learning curve has gone good and now It...

    Good Old Faithfull Tobaccos

    Well, if it helps (although I know it is a very different ground) I enjoy a cigar now and then. Mostly Romeo y Julieta and Punch. I enjoy a soft, sliglty spicy smoke. As far as Pipe Tobacco goes, I have liked Half and Half (from a tin) and I do enjoy to smoke Dunhill Aromatic sometimes, althoug...
