   I know this is threadromancy in the extreme, but perhaps we could make this a sticky, or have this list as a pop-up when you hover over it. I found Bob's abbreviation list helpful, and would've been a godsend when I started smoking months ago...

   Just a thought...

   I think lordnoble has a great idea. Maybe a sticky or somewhere on one of the side bars would be a good place to put the list, so it is easily accessible.

   Brilliant! I was feeling a little lost reading some of these posts.

   I had figured out what a B&M was, but had no idea it stood for Brick & Mortar.

   PAD had me completely lost.

   TY for the post Bob.

    You're right, sirbogglesworth. The first time I saw B&M was on this site and I thought to myself, "Man, these guys are really tight with each other."

    Having worked as a nurse's Aide when I first saw B&M I missed the & and wondered about someone smoking a bowel movement.

    My blend is R3N and several people here smoke RHOW . Also I like to smoke GLPP and what about WOL blends .

    Here is a silly question, but nonetheless: what exactly qualifies as an "aromatic tobacco"?

    There have been a number of different threads on this but I believe it has always boiled down to a blend that has had a topping or flavoring added to enhance the flavor of the tobacco....

    Mason jars and bale top jars, mason jars and bale top jars.... that is all!

    +1 is more of an internet thing than a pipe thing. On forums and chat +1 basically means, "I agree".

    Awesome. I'm still new and have been puzzling over Virginia, VA, Vaper, Va/Per, whether these are the same or not. I just looked them up and now I know. Thanks for providing the dictionary site!

    OK so not only have you provided me with a pipe dictionary but you have giving me a list of tobacco i need to try, i mean these must be all heavy hitters if they have short forms.

    If you smoke something besides tobacco in your pipe, you are probably high and got here by mistake.
    We suggest going to a 7-11 and getting some Doritos and Diet Coke.

    thats funny right there!! What self respecting pothead drinks diet coke????

    The most important things in life are good friends and a good bullpen...not necessarily in that order
