    Pleasant Surprises, or: Your New Favorite Recent Tobacco Acquisitions

    I have an old tobacco tin that i keep a little sponge in. Every now and then i buy a small bottle of single malt and drop a tiny amount onto the sponge then throw in some Windor Breeze. I then close the lid and walk away. After a month i smoke it. Pure magic.

    Total Bliss

    I went to my local park today. Summer was trying to break through and it was kind of mild. I had my trusty Ashton, a full bent with a mother of a 25mm bowl, a tin of Punchbowle, and my newspaper. I always head for an area of the park that's out of the way, in particular a seat that's hidden from...

    Going in for Surgery on the 12th of This Month.

    Good luck with the surgery and finding a place you hide and smoke your pipe afterwards, mate.

    If You Also Smoke Cigs, What Do You Smoke?

    I roll my own and smoke Goldern Virginia. Because of outrageous taxes i buy mine from smugglers.

    Etiquette or Selfconciousness?

    I posted the price i paid for a pipe once and felt like an idiot afterwards. I try not to do it because with the excessive anti smoking taxes we pay here the moment i post a price everyone in the forum would burst into a flood of tears, so i stay silent and cry on my lonesome.

    Tobacco pouch?

    I bought my first pouch in the mid 1960s. I thought it would make me look sophisticated to the girls. It was bright orange and made me look an idiot. Either that or it was the pink pipe?

    Happy 4/20 day? wtf?

    We decriminalised it, making it a small fine if it is a personal amount. I live under an airport landing flight path and haven't heard anyone missing the runway yet.

    Beards

    That's OK then. For a moment i thought i had joined a forum of pipe smoking russian women.

    Peterson Dracula Series

    I kinda like them. To me they seem a very formal trio, the sort you buy as a set. I think the name will impact on the sales figures a lot. Any details or prices out yet?

    Fresh vs Aging

    When i first smoked a pipe i smuggled 2 jars of loose stuff over the border to avoid tax. I found that the flavour strengthen as i smoked my way down one jar. One jar became overly strong. In general i think that you need to know how to judge when it has reached its prime. Go beyond that prime...

    Tobacco tax

    The tax we in the U.K. pay on pipe tobacco is $147.5 (£98.01) on each 2.2 pound of the stuff. Does anyone pay anymore?

    An introduction, some thoughts, and questions from a new smoker.

    Welcome. One of the most important things you need to remember about smoking a pipe is never smoke during sex, apart from that anything goes.

    Brothers in arms

    Those were very much emoitional three days for me. The last time i saw these guys we were in a hole listening to lead wasps fly overhead, shooting at every noise we heard. Twenty years later i get a letter with a picture of us all standing next to an iraqi tank, and a note containing a date...
