    Why Did You Start?

    I never really liked the idea of smoking anything because of fear of ruining my lungs. And I'm a musician with asthma, but my music teacher talked about enjoying his summer vacation in florida with a cigar in hand. I wondered why anyone in the world that takes their lungs seriously and depend on...

    Can't Find Penzance, Can't Find 1792 Flake?

    I mean NYC by the way. But no luck on penzance. Seems like a really rare tin to come by. Very good reviews as well. Definitely worth a try from what people are saying.

    Can't Find Penzance, Can't Find 1792 Flake?

    I got some 1792 here in the city. I bought the last two on display but I've last time I passed by there, I saw a few more just waiting to be enjoyed by the display counters.

    Is Mac Baren a good company?

    Winter tobacco

    I know it's not winter, but it basically is in NY state with temperatures already around the 0 centigrade. I believe Christmas cookie is by a company named Boswel or similar to the name. I also heard many good things about it, but i tend to stay out of aromatics and more into virginias. Latakia...

    Good morning.Winter is here already! I wondered if anyone has a favorite blend for the winter time, maybe not only for winter, but a special blend for that christmas feel. Thanks everyone.

    Tobacco Tins....Sealed.....or NOT???

    I seal tins all the time with paraffin wax and then in large rubbermaid containers to let them age in time, I recently opened one of my 3 year old tins which went through the waxing process and there was no wax in the tobacco. But I only do this to let them age.

    Pipe tobacco cigarettes - cool idea or just goofy?

    I thought this was a weird idea once I did light up my first RYO pipe tobacco cig, but it actually proved to be a bit more convenient than a pipe in this bleak winter weather. But i liked it. I rolled up something I call "The Cake Blend" which is something from Sherman's house blends which...

    Pipe smoking a sport?!

    So, i was browsing websites for just to see what I should look out for when I smoke for long periods. And I came across this article and couldn't believe what I was reading. A whole bunch of college students doing pipe smoking as an endurance sport. I don't know about you, but this seems to me...

    What are You Smoking? October, 2012

    Nat Sherman's sweet house blend # 590 on a cold rainy morning with a cob. A bit tricky to keep it lit.

    How Did You Get Started Smoking A Pipe???

    I started my freshman year in college because I was really curious about the fuss all over tobacco. I never smoked anything that's inhaled because I have asthma. But I did some research and found out that cigars and pipes are not meant to be inhaled. Only savored in the mouth. This was...

    Wood for the pipe

    Wood for the pipe

    I think I'll look for that wood. Sounds a thousand janka units harder than Ipe.

    Wood for the pipe

    The only problem with this wood is that it's so dense and so hard that it really would be a hassle to make a pipe out of it. Especially if it has many burls or "Bird eyes" if any.

    Wood for the pipe

    I found more info on the Ipe and this is what I found very interesting. "This durable South American hardwood is rated by the US Forest Products Lab for a 25 year life. It is naturally resistant to fire, having a NFPA Class A rating and a UBC Class 1 rating (the same as steel and concrete!) Ipe...

    Wood for the pipe

    I think I can go with the walnut. I know cherry has been used too. Is either one of them better or are both the same?

    Wood for the pipe

    does anyone know about teak wood or maybe brazilian walnut (ipe wood) I believe brazilian walnut is the hardest of the common woods. Reason why it gained the nickname "Iron wood"

    Wood for the pipe

    Hello everyone. I absolutely fell in love with my pipe. It got me thinking: what if I made my own pipe? I need everyone's help with this. Maybe instructions or some basics on pipe making. But what I really want to know is the material. My uncle is a carpenter and he has many types of wood...
