If There Were No Nicotine in Pipe Tobacco...
In any case, fair enough, I do find personally that it’s the slow breathing that actually calms me down considerably when smoking.- carver

If There Were No Nicotine in Pipe Tobacco...
I think I would, I don’t usually like the blends that have a too high nic hit anyway.

Air Tight Smoking Room
Hey guys, for those who have a smoking room that isn't the shed at the other end of the lawn, have you "smoke-proofed" it in some fashion ?

Why smoke a pipe?
Personnaly, I find there is something magical about it, that I haven't really grasped yet. It feels liks the great minds that smoked reached, while smoking, an ether that us commoners that don't puff can't touch.

Aromatics vs. Everything Else
Funny that some mentioned cross overs, I was myself wondering about those and one in particular ... Frogmorton's Cellar... The smoke has definitely sweetness to it, and there is some whiskey scent, would you consider it to be a cross over or am I over-reaching?- carver

Starting This Hobby in India
Welcome to the Forum Nick. India, at least, as a traveller, is one of the most amazing place I have been, and I did not necessarily go to the best place, spent 4 months in Calcutta (including an amazing 10 days in Varanasi, drinking tea, watching Pujas, and listening to music concert in...- carver
