I gave myself 5 months to reach my first goal of getting to 250LBS. well, as of this morning I am already 250LBS! That's practically 50 pounds down in 57 days. Of course...- twiggy

It's Been Officially a Month, and...
It's officially been a month now since I began the quest to lose weight, so I decided to weigh myself again, just out of curiosity of how much I lost in a month. Well, I am 269 now, from 298 (actually closer to 299), so virtually 30 pounds loss in a month. That's great. I know the first bit will...- twiggy

Got lots of Tobaccy in today
I got a great deal on Tobacco from one of the others here, it's great, especially considering Canadian retail tobacco prices. This cost me only $75, not including the shipping of course, far better than the $59.99 I paid for that 50g tin of rattray's black mallory, considering this is 1lb...- twiggy

My First "Nice" Pipe
This was purchase don Monday, but only came in today. I assume Canada post must've been a little backlogged because of the Canada Day Holiday on Monday because it usually takes only 2-3 days for something to get to me from the Toronto area where the store "victory cigars"/"victory pipes" is...- twiggy

Got me a clay pipe
I was out visiting Fort George today, a British fort in Niagara-On-The-Lake from the late 1700's and early 1800's, including the war of 1812. So, it's from when it was still a British fort and the land on the western side of the Niagara River was still a British colony. It's a reconstruction... -
Time to Take Weight Loss Seriously
I don't weigh myself often, but I did last night, the scale read 298LBS! last time I weighed myself, I weighed 282LBS, so I did gain since last for sure. I've decided I seriously need to make some life style changes. The main issue with me is over eating, and the types of food I often eat. I...- twiggy

A lesson learned the hard way & am I packing too tight?
I had planned to smoke a pipe along with my father on Canada Day for multiple days now, and it happened today. anyways my dad has a torch lighter so we used that. I did see some people say not to use torch lighters because they may burn the rim of the bowl, but he had the flame dialed back a lot...- twiggy

Question about filters
I am almost settled on buying this pipe: https://victorypipes.ca/shop-tobacco-pipes/lorenzetti-pipes/augustus-caesar-pipe-shape-27 It says it has an insert to allow it to be smoked without a filter, and that it can take a 9mm filter. Seems like the best of both worlds to me, being able to use it...- twiggy

I think I may be starting to look a little older.
I'm on the younger side, 24. Until recently, I almost always got asked for ID when buying alcoholic beverages, and the few times I've bought cigars previously, before I took up pipe smoking a week ago. However ever since then, the multiple times I have bought alcohol and tobacco products, I was...- twiggy

Buying tobacco from another country, into Canada
Having just realized the price of tobacco here is very expensive, I am thinking of maybe buying tobacco in bulk from the states, once I find a blend I like, because I think even after shipping, customs, and dutys, it should be much cheaper, than buying domestically, especially after November...- twiggy

Nice looking, not too expensive dark pipes.
I'm looking to add a nice pipe to my collection, some of you know I only have two so far, and neither are anything special. I am looking for something that looks good and smokes good, though I have a max of $100 Canadian to spend on it. I did find this one, which looks nice to me, especially...- twiggy

A Better Lighter
At the moment I am just using regular old disposable bic lighters, but I'd like to get myself a refillable. I'm looking at a zippo with the pipe insert. I have some questions though, do you have to use the zippo brand fuel or can you use generic fuel too? I noticed that zippo.ca only has about 4...- twiggy

Pipe disinfection and cleaning?
Still very new, this is my second post here only. Let's get started though. I have two pipes, a briar and a corn cob. Canada Day (July 1st) is approaching quickly, and it's the next time I will enjoy a smoke of one of my pipes, as I am trying to keep this an occasional thing for health reasons...- twiggy

Hello
I'm a new pipe smoker, in fact so new that I consider my first pipe to have been smoked this past Sunday. I did smoke a pipe a couple times when I was 19 (legal smoking age where I live) but it was cheap stuff from a convenience store, and I didn't know what I was doing, so I don't count it. I'm...- twiggy
