    Dunhill Flake Holy Cow and Some Help!

    Well this tobacco is fantastic! After having this tin for a month or two I decided to crack it open and give it a try. From the first smoke this was so far the best I have experienced. This is my first flake and I was not disappointed. I loved the flavor all the way down to the heel. The flavor...

    Wide Rubber Band Around Tin

    Hello fellow pipe smokers, I had a thought, I know jarring is the best way to preserve pipe tobacco, but I just love having all these beautiful tins with the tobacco in them. So I was trying to think of a way to try to make the seal of them a little better once opened. So I thought, what if I...

    Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cobs.. Just Do It!

    Well I have to say the 4 corn cob pipes I got from Missouri Meerschaum will NOT be the last I get. I used to think that these pipes were just a novelty and not serious smoking pipes. However after reading all the posts on this and other forums about how these simple and very inexpensive pipes...

    Breathing Into a Tin?

    Ok I know this sounds weird but I'll give it a go anyways.... In an attempt to keep my tinned tobacco moist, hence the ones I am smoking currently, I have been trying to figure on a way of making these last longer in the Tin rather than just empty them into a mason jar. Besides if I am opening...

    Captian Black Blew My Socks Off, WOW

    Well I finally had my best smoke ever. I can't believe that this brand served me so well. Captain Black White was absolutely awesome. After taking up pipe smoking again just this past thanksgiving after 8 years of cigar smoking this was the smoke that was my first " Ah-ha" moment and it was...

    8 years makes a HUGE difference.

    On my first post I stated that I am back to pipe smoking after an 8 year hiatus. This start up is so much different than the last due solely to the proliferation of the Internet in our world. 8 years ago there were just a handful of sites with advice for a pipe smoker and no forums that I knew...

    Hello from New Pipe Smoker

    I smoked a pipe about 8 years ago and abandoned it for cigars. Then I suddenly took it up again to see if I still liked it. Well so far so good. I have started again this past thanksgiving and I found it has been better than my first time around. I still have a lot to learn but at least I...
