    Share Your Favorite All Day Smoking Tobacco, Please and Thank You

    Solani Virginia Flake and Black Vanilla Flake. I love love love Old Dark Fired but I couldn't smoke it all day, it would kill me. Oh and also Mac Baren Navy Flake. They're all flakes for some reason, I like some ribbons as well but they never compare to flakes in my opinion.

    Big Tobacco Has Caught Startup Fever

    Because I'm currently living in Japan, I've had the chance to try this heat-stick or IQOS or whatever and to be honest it's not bad. As a mostly pipe-smoker I rarely smoke cigarettes because I don't like the taste and I don't like the smell it leaves all over you. But this device is actually...

    Beverage of Choice

    I think coffee, tea, whiskey and beer works well but if you just want to enjoy the smoke without anything interfering, water is the best.

    My Wife and I Do the IPSD 2017 Very Low Key

    You look like such a cute and happy couple. I'm hoping I can spend my days like that 30 to 40 years later.

    Pipe Smokers in Egypt

    Although current living in Japan I'm from Turkey, not too far. I've actually been planning on visiting Egypt sometime during this fall, would love to hear if you have any good local blends.

    Momoyama

    I'm pretty sure it's the Momoyama 3 mawnansmiff, the packaging was quite new. I've also discovered that it has a bite if smoked too much. On another note, I think I introduced a Japanese guy to the world of pipe smoking today. He was pretty interested and liked the tobacco a lot. Good deed of...

    Momoyama

    I'm not experienced enough to pick up all the notes but I'm definitely picking up some citrus and something that resembles either peaches or apricots. The smell is also very peachy. I'm fairly certain it has some orientals also because I can pick up some spicy tones.

    Momoyama

    I have found a pouch of this stuff in a remote shop in Japan. I had never heard of it before and never seen it discussed before. I wanted to try it so I smoked it right away. The air was windy so I couldn't get much of a good smoke but I tried it again later that day in my room and the taste is...

    Old Bengal Slices

    That looks absolutely divine. I wish I could get my hands on something like that, happy smoking friend!

    Other than pipe smoking I like to...

    I draw and write fiction. Love to smoke my pipes and drink coffee while doing those as well :-) Other than that, mostly gaming and youtube.

    First Smoke In Six Weeks!

    There are really few places you are allowed to smoke outside in Japan so they let us smoke in our dorm rooms. My room smells nutty and sweet tobaccos 24/7. Lucky indeed!

    Any pipe tobacco at Istanbul´s Ataturk airport duty free shop?

    After the last attack, airport security has been tripled so (hopefully) it should be safe but yeah not the best time to be in Turkey. They sometimes have meers as souvenirs, but from what I've heard they're mostly just that, souvenirs. And Turkish Pipe Tobacco is too inconsistent for my tastes...

    Any pipe tobacco at Istanbul´s Ataturk airport duty free shop?

    I'm from Istanbul. I can't give a definite answer but as far as I remember there were none. Also I don't know if it applies to duty free shops but retail tobacconists can't "legally" sell any other pipe tobacco other than Captain Black, MacBaren, Backwoods and Turkish Pipe Tobacco. Some places...

    Lazy, Foggy Sunday

    Reporting from Japan, it's cold but the sun is out this morning. Started the day with some Royal Navy Flake and getting ready to smoke some of that Frog along with coffee.

    Growing appreciation, Growing collection

    That's a very nice start. I should probably get some corn cobs as well. Right now I own nothing but briars.

    Holger Danske Royal Navy Flake

    mrmotoyoshi It's simply amazing to me how this is not more known. I just found one package dusting in a shop in Shinjuku and it's already finished in a week. I need to stock up on this. Where did you live in Japan by the way?
