    The Fate of the Local Pipe Shop

    In my opinion, Cigar Aficionado is a symbol that represents the popularization of cigars. Cigars have become associated with status which has broadened its customer base. Is the pipe smoking community ready for this type of marketing? If so, then more pipes and pipe tobacco can be sold in the...

    Pipe Apparel

    Thanks for the link, jfox. I generally don't like to pay to advertise for others. However, if the logo is cool enough, I don't mind paying a little and especially when it represents a small, close-knit community. In this case, I don't want apparel that says, "pipemagazin.com" as its main...

    Pipe Apparel

    I know this topic has been discussed before but does anyone know if pipemagazine.com has created pipe apparel to sell? I'm thinking that I would like a hat/cap with the red and withe pipemagazine logo on it. I think the logo with the circle around the pipe is simple and clean. I want this cap...

    A good first non-aro

    Nightcap was my first crossover to non-aromatics. I'm delighted to see that of others as well. I'm glad my crossover was directly to something "strong" because I realized very quickly that "strong" does not mean overwhelming. It opened my world to trying virtually any kind of blend.

    Favorite Smoking Aroma?

    There are various aromas I experience throughout a smoke, like the first light or the steady stream of smoke dancing in front of my face mid-smoke. However, my absolute favorite aroma is the smell of the briar towards the end of a smoke. The outside of the briar has a subtle smell that is...

    Your favorite time to smoke?

    Around sunset. I live in front of a small pond so I sit, smoke, and enjoy the view. It is very relaxing. Also, anytime on the weekends.

    How do you store your flake tobaccos?

    I use wide mouth, half pint Ball jars. Perfect for 50g or so of just about any cut.

    I bet the famous steamboat pilot, Mr. Samuel Clemens, smoked a pipe near that very place.

    I'm a newbie and was wondering how many bowls a day do you smoke?

    I try not to focus on how much I smoke per day or week but on making sure that when I do smoke it is a dedicated time of enjoyment. A time I can focus on my thoughts and the smoke without being too distracted. If I'm not relaxing, I'm not smoking. However, I realize many others mights say, "if...

    Pipe filters?

    When I used a filter, I always kept a fresh on in each smoke. I no longer use them and run a pipe cleaner through the stem it it begins to gurgle.

    Homemade Clean and Cure?

    As I was using my Pipemaster's Clean and Cure one day, it occurred to me that it looked and smelled just like menthol alcohol available at any drug store. Does anyone have advice on making a homemade clean and cure solution? My general thought is cutting menthol alcohol with a bit of distilled...

    I have been looking at some pipes I would like my wife to buy me for our fifth year anniversary (the "wooden" year). I have narrowed my search to three pipes from three different companies. My question is, of the three pipe manufacturers listed below, which is the higher quality brand (generally...

    To filter or not to filter...?

    Thanks, Phil. This will indeed keep my busy.

    To filter or not to filter...?

    Surly this question arises often and from newbies like me... However, I must ask. To filter or not to filter: that is the the question. I am looking for a nice pipe to recommend for my wife to buy me for my 5th year anniversary (the "wooden" year!). I am quite enjoying the process of looking at...

    Why are aromatics from jars at the local shops usually bitter?

    Almost every time I pick out an ounce or two of blended pipe tobacco (usually an aromatic) from a jar at any corner tobacco shop it turns out to have a bitter/sour taste when lit and throughout most of the bowl. I first started to notice this flavor when I began smoking high quality tinned...
