    My Thoughts on Penzance

    First off, a big thank you to bonehed! I received a sample of the famed blend on Thursday, and could hardly keep my nose out of the bag. This is some of the best smelling tobacco I've had yet. I decided to smoke small bowls and spread it out to get a better feel for the blend. I have had two...

    Pipes & Cigars Customer Service

    I've seen a few negative comments on P&C's customer service recently, and thought I'd share my experience. I have been a subscriber to their tobacco of the month club since June, and I just switched to the non-aromatic choice for October. When I called customer support to change my plan, I found...

    What's Your Favorite Sandwich?

    I love a good sandwich, from a cheese steak to a tuna on wheat, burgers, grinders, hoagies and Reubens. But my absolute favorite is the humble B.L.T. The smoky, salty bacon, sweet fresh from the vine tomatoes and crunchy lettuce with plenty of mayonnaise atop lightly toasted bread. Doesn't get...

    When It Rains, It Pours...

    So, back in March, I had a nice little bit of money saved up. The plan was to find a meerschaum pipe and spend the balance on a bit of tobacco. Then I had to replace my hot water heater. Fast forward to early June. My "mad money" is approaching my goal again. My daughter needed glasses, easy...

    Troegs Brewery in Hershey, PA

    I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon here yesterday. Some great beer, and an amazing "snack bar" full of gastronomic treats. I stopped in with my cousin, and we shared their poutine, made with a wonderful oxtail ragout, and the crispy pork belly on a cornmeal pancake with ramps and blueberry jam...

    First Successful Fold & Stuff

    Just had a "yay me" moment. I tried fold and stuff and roll and stuff before, and never managed to make it work. Today, I grabbed a flake of OGS, my MM Mark Twain and headed out the door. I didn't really think about it, and I had my best smoke of OGS to date. The flavor was much more intense...

    Is Wingenroth's Still Open?

    Just wondering. Their website is closed, and the phone number Google shows just rings. They are about a 45 minute drive from my house, and I hate to go all the way there to be disappointed.

    New Tobacco Day!

    Came home to a brown box. Always puts a smile on my face. I got a tin of Escudo, 2 oz of C&D Haunted Bookshop and 2 oz of PS Luxury Bullseye Flake. I've sampled the Haunted Bookshop (good and strong nic hit!) and just finished a bowl of LBF. Have to say, this is the best tobacco I've smoked yet...

    Similar blends?

    I have been working my way through the tobaccos that are easily available locally. I passed over Prince Albert and Carter Hall initially because they were so much cheaper. I went through Captain Black (love the smell, taste is blah) Borkum Riff (didn't really care for it) and went to the PA and...

    Hello, and thanks for the info

    Thought I would do an introduction. My name is Lou. I'm 36 years old, married to a wonderful woman for 11 years now, and lucky enough to be the father of two beautiful girls. I've been smoking a pipe for a whopping 4 days, and am really enjoying it! Stumbled upon this forum, and have been...

    Where to start?

    Hi, all. I have been fascinated with pipes for quite awhile, and have decided I'd like to give it a whirl. I am a cigarette smoker, and would like to try to replace that habit. Problem is, I don't know where to begin. My dad smoked a pipe for a bit when I was young, and I can still smell it when...
