"Bad EMT!"
As an EMT, I often get stereotyped by people who think that as healthcare providers, we should be the epitome of health and peak physical condition. Truthfully, most of us are overweight, out of shape, and have to have help finding our boots when the buzzer goes off at 2 AM. My partner and I...- smokinfireman

Pipes and Bugout Bags
I'm pretty sure that by now we all have some form of SHTF bag at the ready, from an overnight bag to a fully loaded Zombie Mobile. While I was adding a few items to my Bugout bag, the thought hit me: If I have to get outta Dodge, what am I gonna smoke? I put an old Brylon and some Captain Black...- smokinfireman

Medico Varsity
Well I just bought another drugstore pipe. A Medico Varsity briar smooth finish, and it's a pretty good looking pipe. I got home, stuffed it with some PA and fired it up. I was dreading another break-in process, we all know how unpleasant that is. Well, to my suprise, it tasted just like another...- smokinfireman

Wow! Smoker's Pride Black Cavendish!
Well folks, my sleazy cig shop pulled through for me yet again. After becoming bored with my usual smokes, I decided to mozy on down and see what they had in stock today. I was tired of the CB, PA, and Log Cabin series, so I decided to take another chance on Smoker's Pride. Black Cavendish was...- smokinfireman

A One Month Liberty From Pipes
Well, I have been off my pipes for about a month now, during which I have been exploring cigars. I have since returned to my briars two days ago to find I could not enjoy a pipe. I have concluded that the ph difference in cigars plus the overpowering musty flavor has corrupted my senses. Two...- smokinfireman

Back and Forth Between Cigars and Pipes
Lately, I've had a craving for a nice mild cigar. So.....I went to the tobacco shop and got a value pack of my favorite Phillies Titan cigars. Ten 6.5 in, 44 gauge cigars for $12. I took two days off from pipes and smoked my stogies exclusively, probably 6 total. Upon returning to my pipes a few...- smokinfireman

Pipe Tobacco Roll Your Own Cigarettes
Anyone ever tried pipe tobacco ryo? I have heard of some folks doing this and have wondered about it, but somewhat cringed the thought of making a ciggy out of pipe tobacco. Kinda seems like giving the Beverly Hillbillies a Rolls Royce only to have Granny strap her rocker up top. Thoughts...- smokinfireman

Who has had experience with Smoker's Pride pipe tobacco?
Who here smokes Smoker's Pride bulk tobacco? Saw a few varieties on the Pipe tobacco shelf at a local ciggy store but never heard of it. Does not seem to be available in pouches or tins, so I was hesitant to buy it in such a huge quantity.- smokinfireman

A fresh look at bryoln....
Many believe brylon to be the poor cousin of pipes, as many do the cob. However, I have had nothing but good times with brylons. I own a Medico Conquerer and a Yellobole Nova, both straight stems, to mention a few. The Nova is a rather large pipe with a scoop-bit design. Of my bryolns, it is my...- smokinfireman

Paladin Black Cherry Aromatic
I have to say, Paladin Black Cherry Aromatic is one of the best aromatics, let alone OTC blends, I have ever smoked. This aromatic is the only black cherry, or any cherry for that matter I have tried that doesn't taste like a cough drop. Upon opening the pouch I was greeted with a wonderful...- smokinfireman
