A late birthday present from my girlfriend (Please help!!)
Everytime I hint at my fiance that I wouldn't mind a pipe for my birthday or christmas, she rolls her eyes and says 'yeah, right, sure'. So you are indeed a very lucky man.- dongreyface

Moustache Note
I love the smell of my stache after a bowl. I hastly shaved it off at the beginning of spring and knew I missed the smell, but didn't realise just how much until I started growing in my 'winter beard' a month ago. And of course the first time the fiance caught me sniffing my mustache again...- dongreyface

Davis and Son tobacconist in Wilmington NC?
I should have posted this a few days ago, but the trouble I went through with the original post on my Xoom, I decided to wait til I got back home from vacation and had an actual keyboard. That being said....... I was extremely impressed with Davis and Son. Upon walking in I was greeted with a...- dongreyface

Davis and Son tobacconist in Wilmington NC?
I was wondering if anyone in the Wilmington area knew anything about this b&m? I'm currently on vacation at Holden Beach, will be heading to Wilmington tomorrow and was looking for some input on this company. From what I am seeing, they are the only shop dedicated to pipes. I saw a couple...- dongreyface

Flake Tobaccos
Well I recieved my order in the mail today and I couldn't wait to tear into it....although I did. The blend I decided to try first was Sams Flake. And I must say, flake is a different monster. I tried my hand at using the fold and stuff method and either it doesn't work for this type of flake...- dongreyface

Flake Tobaccos
Ohin3, there's a reason I didn't list what kind of tobacco I like. If I would have, then I'd get a list of tobaccos similar to what I'm smoking now. And being that I'm still new at this, I don't want to get myself stuck with a certain type. I want to try any/everthing I can get my hands on...- dongreyface

Flake Tobaccos
Wow, looks like I'm going to have a tough time narrowing down to only a few(for this order :lol:) I'm really looking forward to trying a flake. But I'm curious, what makes flake different from what one would normally get in a tin? Do they tend to burn better? Do they usually have a better...- dongreyface

Flake Tobaccos
I've never smoked a flake tobacco before, but have been thinking more and more about getting some soon. So I was wondering what the top recomended flakes were. I understand that it's all opinion, but I figure if there are a few that seem to make everyones list(or at least the...- dongreyface

Storing VS. Aging
I was wondering where the line between aging a tobacco and simply storing it would be. Or more simply, how long would a tobacco have to be 'sealed off from the outside world' in order to be considered aging. I understand that it will most likely vary somewhat from type to type. But would I...- dongreyface

What Is Your Contemplative Blend?
As I sit here getting ready to smoke my pipe in hopes it will help me make a decision about a proposition I recieved at work today that could have a big affect on my future(or it could have absolutly no affect on my future at all), it got me wondering. What, if any, particular blend everyone...- dongreyface

Help me to grok the cob
tiltjlp, I don't think I'm smoking them any faster than my briars, and I don't have that problem with those. But maybe I am at times and don't realize it. And I do usually dry my tobacco out for roughly a half hour before I smoke it. But like I said, I'm by no means a seasoned smoker...still...- dongreyface

Beards
I usually go between a full beard(as seen in my avatar) in the winter, or a van dyke in the summer. However this year I decided to try something different, I decided to go with just the goatee. This is the first time I have seen my upper lip in years...and the first time my fiance has ever...- dongreyface
