    Esoterica At Bargain Prices

    Kris That is a profound way to look at it. 6 bucks an hour for a sublime experience is no doubt a bargain. I am betting however, that more than just the tobacco went into your incredible smokes.

    Graduating to full on English blends

    Nightcap for the Perique and bold orientals. Blackhouse for the full flavored punch of a great English.

    Better Fresh than Aged

    I much prefer the fresh taste of Irish Oak. Older tins don't have the tang.

    Any Suggestions For A Good Driving Tobacco?

    Question for the English blend smokers

    Whitesands77, It's funny you mention Blackpoint as not much body. Just last night I followed a bowl of BP with a bowl of Star of the East. I couldn't even finish the SOTE, because it was so flavorless in comparison. Blackpoint with some age turns into a very full body smoke. Tastes vary though.

    What is the sweetest smoking pipe you own ?

    I really enjoy contemplating on others views about something so subjective. I didn't really mean that most of my pipes smoke like dogshit and one doesn't. But I realize now I could have worded it; do you have a favorite pipe? This might have yielded a slight different group of answers, but who...

    What is the sweetest smoking pipe you own ?

    Warren, While I agree that the goal is to own a stable of sweet pipes. I am still working towards that goal. It seems that it can only be acquired through trial and error. Also, the more time you have dedicated to the goal the better the outcome. I hope to some day a a few more that are...

    What is the sweetest smoking pipe you own ?

    Breaking In A New Pipe:What Actually Does It Involve?

    onestrangeone, That is interesting. I have two pipes that are notorious for giving out at the have way mark. But they are well seasoned. I had assumed it had more to do with the geometry of a tapered bowl and slightly high draft hole. But none the less, they are finicky and want the last...
