    Recommendations for a Virginia Pipe?

    Hey all, I am looking to get a pipe dedicated to VA/VaPer blends. From a few samples bowls I have tried they seem to be the most temperamental of tobacco types, burning quite hot and causing tongue bite if not smoked carefully so would like a slightly special pipe for them. Although the taste is...

    Thoughts on Condor as a mixing tobacco.

    My parents just came home from a trip to the Canary Islands, and decided to surprise me with some pipe tobacco. They bought some Condor Ready Rubbed in a 250g box from the shop keepers suggestion that it was "mild". I'm assuming he has been smoking all his life because this stuff has such a...

    Is it OK to use a Torch Lighter?

    Hey all :) Up to now I have been using a Zippo whenever I smoke, as it seems to be the only lighter I can find which is able to stay lit in the evil that is Irish weather. However I am really beginning to find the taste to be very off putting and is greatly reducing the enjoyment of my smoke. I...

    Perique Liquor

    I was shopping online for some absinthe bottles for a party and came across this interesting find. http://www.absinthes.com/product_info.php?products_id=936 Never heard of a tobacco liquor before, especially one with as unique a taste as Perique. Anyone tried anything similar?

    Any Thoughts on Peterson's Balkan Delight?

Sounds very interesting that Peterson have a new Latakia blend. I was tempted to buy it but I have a mountain of tobacco bought I need to try, which is...

    Is it Possible to Not be Able to Taste Tobacco?

    Second Briar Suggestions

    Hey guys I have recently started getting into English/Balkan blends, having only been smoking aromatics up to now, so seems like a good time to invest in a second briar! Only problem being there are so many pipes out there I haven't a clue what is good quality, value for money etc. The briar I...

    First Experience With an English Blend

    I am pretty new to pipe smoking and have been using aromatic pipe tobaccos like most beginners do, but in an order I made from 4noggins they threw in a free sample of Britt's Balkan blend. I just put it in my corn cob to try out and it is on a completely different level to anything I have tried...

    Drying Tobacco

    I was having a smoke today while reading through the site and noticed a lot of people mentioning leaving tobacco out to dry before smoking it, especially aromatics which I am currently smoking exclusively. Was wondering if there is any way to gauge if this is necessary as all my tobacco feels...

    New Smoker, No Taste

    Hey guys :) I have only recently started smoking in the past couple of weeks,having always thought pipes to be very aesthetically pleasing and to have a great smell (odd thought for a teenager which my friends are slowly coming around to :P ), but I am really disappointed with the lack of any...
