Dad Died Last Weekend And I Inherited His Pipes etc.
My deepest condolences to you and your family. My Mom died in 2006 and Dad followed in 2010. Both were chain smokers, which actually drove my sisters and I away from it. I have several items that belonged to my parents. Mostly my Dad's tools, which I use often. And every time I complete a...- Cyxelsid

What Kind Of Pipe Smoker Are You?
Good evening all, Years smoking, a pipe- 2 years Do you combine your pipe smoking with other forms of tobacco consumption? Cigars, snuff, etc. if so, which form of consumption do you lean to - I prefer to stick to pipes now, although I started with cigars. Recently, I have found cigars made...- Cyxelsid

Box Pass Extravaganza 2024 Signup
Well, that is too bad. I love the idea of starting one with an AirTag in it. But not something I would be up to starting on my own. I hope @RustiePyles CPG is OK! I don't like it when someone tries to get something good started and then gets critisized and second guessed about it If it...- Cyxelsid

Are Windcaps Over?
My wife has recently opened to the idea of smoking in the house, particularly in the theater, work shop, and my office, which are all in the basement. She also may be open to the living room, "if doesn't get stuffy or musty". I don't smoke all the time, 2-3 times a week, so I don't think that...- Cyxelsid

Pipe Tobacco Cigars?
So the Tooth & Bear (my local shop) is selling a few cigars rolled using pipe tobacco instead of standard cigar tobacco. I have not tried them yet, but one of the reasons I switched from cigars to pipes (just one reason, there are many) is that I found cigars to be more acrid and less...- Cyxelsid

In Support of B&M's
I have to agree. If you want to run a B&M, for ANYTHING, and you need to command higher prices to cover additional overhead, taxes, payroll, etc., the reality is you have to offer something more than a cash register. I mentioned in another post about a new Cigar and Pipe lounge in Woodland...- Cyxelsid

Are Windcaps Over?
Boy I hope these aren't a thing of the past. I am still new to smoking a pipe, and although I don't get in as much practice as I would like, it is frustrating to smoke in the wind here in CO. I actually find myself going between having trouble keeping it lit, and the pipe getting WAY to hot...- Cyxelsid

Box Pass Extravaganza 2024 Signup
So what is the Status of the Box Pass in 2024 and 2025? Did this FANTASTIC idea die out? Now that I am settled in Colorado, I was looking forward to joining in 2025! I found a great Pipe & Tobacco lounge here in Woodland Park, CO called the Tooth & Bear. A members only joint. They are only a...- Cyxelsid

How Cold Is Too Cold?
Well, for Christmas, my wife thought she was getting me gear to where while shovelling snow! But instead, she got me gear to wear so I can smoke outside! Our new place in Colorado does get cold, down into the teens at night and high 30s during the day sometimes, and we haven't even hit the...- Cyxelsid

How Cold Is Too Cold?
Well, I just moved to Colorado, about 90 min west of Colorado Springs, up in the mountains west of Pike's Peak. We have not gone sub-zero yet, but we have gotten in the teens. I have been too busy unpacking to do much smoking, but I finally broke out the box of Pipe Stuff and was able to sit and...- Cyxelsid

Smoking in the Wild...
Well, I have been VERY busy in 2024 and have had very little time to smoke, much less post! My wife and I finally sold our So Cal home in June and moved to Colorado! We bought what I hope will be our last house in Cripple Creek, CO, about 1.5 hours west of Colorado Springs. We are still...- Cyxelsid

Your First Pipe
Well, embarrassed to say... my first was this ebony wood Whitluck Tobacco Pipe I found on Amazon for $23, including the pipe, a Czech tool, a stand, and some pipe cleaners. The only thing I still use is the stand and the Czech tool. Pretty pipe, but heavy and not very fun to smoke.- Cyxelsid
