    Cornell & Diehl's Melville Series

    These look tasty: Redburn John Marr Billy Budd Blonde Billy Budd Perhaps these fit with the fascination for pipes in Melville, ably described in this article, including this relevant excerpt from Moby Dick:

    Brigham Enterprises Inc. - "Hudson's Bay"

    This is quite an interesting smoke: Nothing can replace the 'Yacht, but this is a great smoke on its own that has a similar appeal. I would buy it anyway even if I could acquire Royal Yacht in unlimited quantities, and think it similar to Ye Olde Signe or even Lakeland Dark in terms of its appeal.

    Cotton Boll Twist

    I consider Cotton Boll Twist to be quite an enjoyable variety of leaf, and so I have sought it out in some of the nearby towns where the Brookshire Brothers Tobacco Barn can be found. I know some members have been looking for these in the past. Fortunately, I have acquired about a half dozen of...

    Cleaning Products as Bad for Lungs as Smoking 20 Cigarettes a Day

    Please do not politicize this thread. It just is not intended that way, but for you to use in your discussions with others. In my view, things are looking up. My longstanding analysis is that more of our health problems are caused by industrial pollutants than smoking pipes and cigars, and that...

    I Know Some Of You Write Science Fiction

    A friend of mine is editing this science fiction short story anthology and needs submissions. Hope the mods do not mind me posting it here, and that some of you creative types will submit a story or two. Bonus: he says there is zero objection to pipe-smoking content.

    Time Budgeting

    When I first realized I had to get effective in life, some years ago, I began learning time budgeting. This is where you look at what you have to do in a day, figure out how long it will take, and divide up your day so that you can do each task, and all of them in the right order. One thing I...

    Ignoring the Super Bowel, Cooking Instead

    Tonight's Chinese. Challenging at first, then really easy. I hear there's some football game, but I guess it just isn't as relevant as playing touch football on the back lot with my droogs.

    Go Ahead And Have A Cold One, For Your Health

    Goodbye Paypal

    More market competition can only be an improvement, and with eBay behind its competitor, Paypal is heading toward irrelevance.

    The Costs Of Tobacco Use

    One in five Americans admit to tobacco use. Government estimates the cost at $170 billion yearly. https://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/trends-statistics#supplemental-references-for-economic-costs Summary: Drive drunk instead, it's cheaper for the economy.

    Top Health Official Traded Tobacco Stock While Leading Anti-smoking Efforts

    This level of pathological hatred is unstable. Smokers are the new civil rights battlefield.

    Fighting Back... Like Gentlemen And Ladies

    Pipe smokers have a self-esteem problem. We believe too much of the F.U.D. ("fear, uncertainty, and despair") rhetoric coming from above us. This leads us to treat ourselves like drug addicts, cowering in the darkness with our pipes, afraid of discovery. Whatever the sins of tobacco, they pale...

    Lane Limited - "Crown Achievement"

    I am enjoying smoking the last of this tin, but, to be honest, this blend is not going to please the average English smoker, or even an experienced one. Kind of like some of the early C&D English offerings, it is a bit jagged, but sometimes that is what the doctor ordered, sort of like enjoying...

    Surviving Tobaccopocalypse

    A few thoughts: 1. Home blending is not going to go away, and for most basic types of blends, results similar to those from the big houses can be achieved relatively easily. 2. Home growing is going to get more important. 3. Obviously, networking between farmers, producers, and fanbase are...

    Best Tobacco for Cannibalism

    My neighbor, see, he's a passive-aggressive git. Always posing like he knows something, when all I want is for him to not leave his trash cans on the part of our lawn I need to mow (he can leave them on any other part of the lawn for all I care; he'll want them eventually, I think... I guess)...

    How Often Do Threads At PipesMagazine.Com/Forums Influence Your Smoking Habits?

    So... last night, a thread about My Mixture 965. I woke up early as usual -- trucks removing flood debris still, since about a quarter of the city essentially abandoned their homes -- and put away the shotgun, then went to load a bowl. As usual, my fingers play their little skipping dance over...

    Brain Research Points the Way to New Treatments for Nicotine Addiction

    In a world of seven billion people with more coming every day, I am not sure why we are so concerned with people dying. If it's expensive, provide hospice or palliative care and walk away. Most people do not want to live forever anyway. But, it will be interesting to see what "stop/quit" drugs...
