    Morning Aftertaste

    Is it normal to have a lingering aftertaste the following morning after smoking? When I smoke in the evening I am left with an unpleasant aftertaste all night long when I sleep. This unpleasant taste will carry over to the following morning, sometimes even until mid day. I brush my teeth before...

    My Employer Says No To Pipesmagazine

    I work in manufacturing where I spend the majority of my day either on the phone or the computer requesting quotes and purchasing machinery, parts, and chemicals required to operate the facility. Often times on my breaks and lunch period I like to check out the latest topics on the forum. A...

    Hand Made?

    I am looking to purchase a new pipe. I really like some of those partially rusticated pipes from Winslow on SmokingPipes.com. Are these pipes hand made? How do you know if a pipe is machine or hand made? I am looking to spend about $100, give or take a couple of bucks. I really want to get...

    Trying Tobacco in Different Pipes

    I understand that tobacco may have different tastes in different pipes. I also understand that certain types of tobaccos, English, Virginias, and Aromatics should be grouped together and smoked in the same pipes. My question is what does a new pipe smoker, who may only have three pipes, do to...

    Early Morning Pipe

    From what I've read EMP is a very good blend. Can anyone tell me if it's as good as they say. Would this be a good blend for a beginning English smoker to try? The only English that I have tried so far is Old Dublin. Is it along those lines?

    Virginias and Va/Pers

    Help me understand where the flavor is in these tobaccos. I have been trying a few different blends, mostly flakes, but I really cannot pick up on the sweet taste of the virginias that everyone so often talks about. For me I find them taste taste similar to cigarettes. I say "similar" because I...

    Stanwell From Italy...New Pipe Decisions

    I recently purchased a Stanwell pipe online. Still new to pipe smoking, I didn't realize that these pipes are no longer made in Denmark. I thought about sending it back but once it was in my hand I had to smoke out of it. Seems to be a good smoker. What is different about the pipes made in Italy...

    Help..What am I doing wrong?

    I'm still new to pipe smoking but I thought I was getting a little better at it...until this morning. I just received a new pipe in the mail yesterday with some good tobacco to go with it. I bought a Stanwell Featherweight 243 and a few tins of tobacco, one of them Dunhill Flake. I've recently...

    Aromatics

    I know this has probably been beaten to death but are there any good aromatics that actually taste as good as they smell? Are there any that have a good nic level? Also, any suggestions for some good flakes?
