    What Is the Future of Pipesmoking for Younger Generations?

    We’re doomed I tell you, doomed! Taxes will continue to punish the hobby and governments will enjoy pocketing the cash for as long as they can, but ultimately it will drive the hobby under. Fill your cellar ready for the tabacalypse.

    Erinmore Flake, dizzy after more than 1 hour of smoke

    Not a fan when the Nic gets me by the balls - don’t have a whole bowl before bed if you want your sleep!

    Looking for Non-Aromatic Recommendations:

    You’ll probably want something with a heavy topping to transition from aromatics. Someone mentioned Solani Aged Burley Flake. That is really nice and has a chocolate (not overpowering) topping.

    Such Great People!

    That’s a beauty, not just pipe, but soul.

    New Avatar

    What a great pic to use. I’ve pinched one of an aging Kevin Costner as it looks remarkably similar to my bad self.

    Red Virginia recommendations

    GL Pease Geometrie is red Virginia heavy with a condiment of orientals. It’s a plug tobacco and a good one to cellar and blend those flavours nicely.

    $800 De Minimis Import Tax Exemption Set To End Friday

    Not that this thread directly applies to me, but I recently had an order of baccy sent from the US to the UK. I buy in small quantities and it normally gets away with no import tax - not do now; I got hit with a massive one on the last lot, way more than the worth of the baccy. Customs are edgy...

    Mason Jars With a Latch

    I use these for the tobacco I’m smoking. I thing they’re great and have had no issues. My only advice is to keep the seal clean as tobacco deposits on it don’t help.

    Tobacco stuck on the side of the bowl

    All looks well, a nice cake forming.

    Number Of Traditional Pipe Smokers In US, Canada and Europe

    It’s pretty much a dead hobby here in the UK, I’ve never even clapped eyes on another pipe smoker!

    Cigar in a Pipe

    This all seems very odd, smoke a pipe when you want a pipe and cigar if you want a cigar - easy. Alternatively, buy some ‘Warped’ baccy - they blend with cigar leaf.

    Decisions, Decisions What to do?

    Sell a kidney?

    Sutliff still in stock

    Depends what it is. Sutliff have some kick a$$ blends but also some absolutely diabolical stuff too that have made me very green around the gills in the past - not surprised if there’s a ton of that left.

    Gawith & Hoggarth Acquires A Famous Brick and Mortar As Its Flagship Shop

    Oooh, somewhere to buy tobacco other than the internet in the UK! “Get in the car kids, it’s road trip time!”

    Take 9mm Filter Out After Each Smoke?

    I love using a 9mm filter. The best bit is not getting bits of baccy in my mouth on the first draw. The filter shouldn’t do any damage to your pipe, but do let it cool before removing the filter. I take out a filter and let it dry out and use it again; I sometimes get three uses out of the same...
