    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Glad to see someone else noticed that Ropp Etudiants aren't on SP.com. I'm hoping they just might be out, but ... That's a nice line on small pipes. Smoking my Dublin right now.

    Cigar Air Purifiers - Do They Work

    Pop and I loved cigars and Mom (who had quit cigs) allowed us to smoke in one room because she's a saint. After pop passed in 06, my cigars were still tolerated. That said, it's one of many things I adore about pipes: They are less stinky. (I like lat blends too! Stinky is good, but ,,,) One is...

    Show off Your Ropp Pipes here!

    See @OzPiper, yes, I hear that slogan and call bull on it, but again, I know it's only a matter of time.

    Show off Your Ropp Pipes here!

    The bleeping bastards at SP.com are just trying to test me with this sale. Mother-----s. Let's be honest, this sale means two more pipes to avoid shipping to "save" money.

    Show off Your Ropp Pipes here!

    Shhh. Don't talk too much about Ropps. Just snagged a sweet briar cutty with horn stem. That said, they're awful pipes. Don't buy them.

    The Official 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

    No vested interest ... Ergo, I root for cities with winter. Nonetheless, Dallas-Vegas figures to be a whopper of a first-round series.

    Estate Peterson Killarney 106 PLIP

    Just a p-lip (a Peterson trademark) with a rubber bit on it.

    Nancy Pelosi Attack

    I am smoking an old Dunhill with some delicious Gaslight pipe tobacco, mentioning this as this is PipesMagazine and being conscious of politics rules here. That said, please stop with the "Pelosi staged this attack on her husband as retribution for his stupidity in his DUI." As others have...

    British PM Has Gone....

    As an American, I enjoy/appreciate the difference in the political structures. Since the UK is parliamentary, PMs change faster than here, but for me, curiously, the office of the PM does not change. (We don't have many examples of disgraced presidents who resign, Nixon. While Ford was obviously...

    UK: ‘The Aim in the Long Run Is Prohibition.’

    Bravo @bluegrassbrian. As one who enjoys both forms of pipe smoking, we do have more in common than we do differences. We need to be on the same side.

    Burning Tobacco in Wider Bowls.

    Cannot emphasize enough @john19: Do. Not. Puff. Faster.

    Dishonorable Mentions

    I'm glad to see GLP's Haddo's Delight here. Being a huge fan of Pease's blends (English, VAs, Vapers, Vaburs, depending on my mood), and also knowing that GLP's blends take some smoking, I want to like Haddo's. It just doesn't work for me. Given that it is one of the Pease blends that is sold in...

    Show off your cellar!

    OK, having seen some of these collections, I feel much more normal about my mere two storage bins of English-style tobaccos and a closet full of Virginia-based blends. Does having merely 30-40 pounds of tobacco make me ... normal?

    Joe Lankford passing. RIP

    I have been smoking Plum Pudding all day. Sigh.

    Habanos

    Thanks for the updates, peeps. In ye olde days, about 10 years ago, I sent for Cubans through vendors and Monte Cristo No. 2s, Partagas Nos. 4 or pyramids and Romeo and Julietta Churchills were (at most) $10-12 per stick. The San Francisco Giants went to the playoffs in 2012 and smoking two RJ...
