    Back From Another Absence.

    I haven't had a pipe for months and have just been lurking here for a while. Just started up again yesterday. I guess the cause was a lack of any sort of free time, I was working 6 days a week for a bit, and for now I'm finally in a full-time job and this was my first Saturday off that I was...

    My Latest Addition

    When a friend of mine sent me the Groupon deal for BnB Tobacconist, I couldn't resist spending some of it on a new Savinelli Trevi 626. The first smoke was a good one, can't wait for it to start building cake. to fill up the rest of the order and get free shipping I got a tin of each...

    My First Impressions on Some Flake Tobaccos

    I ordered several 1oz portions of different flakes, and wanted to post my thoughts as someone relatively new to flakes. New ones will be added as I try them. The first one is Newminster 400 Superior Navy Flake: This was fairly moist out of the jar and was stubborn to light, some drying time...

    Villiger 1888 Mid-Day Replacement

    So since it has been discontinued, I was wondering if there is a bulk that is similar to Villiger Mid-Day. I've heard Stanwell Melange as a posiibility, but would really like a bulk. It doesn't need to be a perfect match, but I would like something with similar strength and a room note that...

    Sometimes It Just Hits The Spot

    So I came home early from work, and was debating what to smoke. I was looking through my jars and spotted some Peterson Irish Flake. Boy what a change from the mild to medium blends I have been smoking. Its earthy taste and decent nic hit was just right. A good relaxing smoke that just hit the spot.

    Another Pleasant Surprise from Sutliff

    I have been getting a little bored with what I have open at the moment, and I wanted to wait for better weather to crack a tin of some of the more complex blends. Then I found three neglected tins of Sutliff that I received as samples. French Quarter, Molto Dolce, and Great Outdoors. The Molto...

    Has Anyone Tried PS Cube Cut

    This is the first bowl I've had of this blend that I have enjoyed, and was looking for other opinions on it. Pretty much tastes like a strongish straight burley to me.

    Giving a "bad" Pipe a Second Chance

    So today I decided to go back to my first pipe that was given to me by my dad when I first started. He never kept up with pipe smoking, and I think this pipe is the reason. It has a tendency to gurgle and smoke hot. I found that the draft hole is drilled above the bottom of the bowl, and is not...

    An Update on Things

    I haven't been posting much, but I have been lurking quite a bit. Mostly because I haven't had anything new happen. I haven't had any PAD/TAD because I haven't had the funds, thanks to some generous gifts I have been able to enjoy my pipes. I still haven't found a career job yet, but have been...

    Back From Being Absent

    Hello again, I have been reading a few posts off and on but have been so busy lately, that I have not been enjoying my pipes. I'm working on changing that, but my budget has also been slim, so until I get a real job no PAD/TAD for me. Hope everyone has been well.

    A Quick Warning

    Well, found out that my mother's PayPal account was hacked and it is throwing charges at the bank account. The customer service has been pretty useless, so keep an eye on your stuff, and be careful who you purchase from.

    My First Estate Purchase.

    Bought these two at an antiques store, they were marked half off... got both for $7. They were relatively clean, I just took some of the teeth marks out, but didn't get them polished up. The straight smokes great. I think I'm going to give the bent to a friend of mine who was with me when I made...

    Another Rainy Smoke

    Another rainy day here in NW PA. I'm sure others here have been getting the same storms, it has rained so much that the yard is a half foot deep of mud. Stuck in the barn again smoking and listening to the rain on the metal roof.

    One of Those Nights

    Just had a wonderful Friday night. Two friends and I hiked into the woods bordering town and brought supplies. We lit up a campfire, and each lit up a pipe. We were up past midnight chatting and smoking around the fire... talk about relaxing.

    What Better Than a Pipefull to Make a Rainy Day Better

    Lit up my cob while working in the barn, the rain hasn't stopped but it hasn't bothered me much. Just have to be careful to not get any horse manure on the pipe. :puffy:

    Problem With the Website

    I have recently not been able to visit the site or forum from anything but my phone. I've tried on two computers and multiple browsers. All I get is a " Red Hat Enterprise Linux Test Page". I believe it is a local problem, any ideas on what's going on? I really don't want to rely on my phone for...
