    How to Make Pipe Smoking More Socially Acceptable

    I've been a little self conscious when it comes to smoking pipes out in public. First, I'm not an older gentleman, I'm in my late twenties, so seeing a younger guy like me wearing a snapback and smoking some LBF in a Savinelli pipe is kind of weird. I want to say I'm super comfortable with...

    Aromatics And Dark Burley

    I started off by smoking aromatics but have since moved towards straight burley blends, as well as Virginia blends. I have mixed some of the aromatics I bought with some of my straight burley (some burley/virginia blends) blends and they do tend to work well.

    Any pipe tobacco that's similar to cigars?

    Key Largo from GL Pease might just be what I'm looking for. Thanks lasttango!

    Any pipe tobacco that's similar to cigars?

    When I said cocoa, I should have said chocolate instead. I'm thinking I'll try Semois and some of the others people have posted here. Thanks for your help guys, I appreciate it.

    Any pipe tobacco that's similar to cigars?

    Recently I've gotten into cigar smoking. I've had some Oliva Serie G, O, and V. Some Man o war virtue and of course the Drew Estate ACID sticks (had a few more, but I won't waste the space here). Out of those I really liked the Oliva Serie O. TBH I liked all the cigars I've smoked so far, but...

    Are You Maker Loyal?

    TBH I just started out, but I've been gravitating more towards Stanwell's and Savinellis, their $80-$150 dollar pipes mostly. I've heard that in that price range, those two brands are pretty solid (thanks to all those on the forums for helping me pick out pipes).

    Finally tried some Balkan

    I really like latakia, but I haven't tried at balkan blends yet. Is Balkan Sasieni any good? i've been eyeing them this month and plan on picking up a few tins. I figure if I like latakia (enjoyed Nightcap, Dark English, Proper english...) I'd like balkan blends in general. really enjoy the...

    High Nic pipe tobacco Needed

    I've never tried it, but I hear 5 Brothers has a high nic content. I'm guessing if you like burley (and shag cuts), can't go wrong with that one. Also it's pretty cheap.

    Oriental/English Blends.

    After doing some research I found a few tobacco blends you could try. Rattrays Highland Targe Robert McConnell's Oriental C&D Oriental Silk Peretti's No. 40 and Tashkent C&D Or Olam There were some more, but I'm too lazy to find them again. Hope this helps. Also, I don't know if all of these...

    Steel tubes in shank

    Do all bamboo shanks have steel reinforced tubing? I've been looking at some bamboo shank pipes and was worried about how it would handle heat (don't know anything about bamboo, other than it's really strong and pandas like to eat them).

    Enjoying A Bowl In Hawaii...

    That's awesome. Love that you and your son get to share in the hobby together. Thanks for sharing. PS Hawaii is amazing, I've been there only once, but it was one of the best weeks of my life.

    Favorite Shag Cut Tobacco Blends

    I've been smoking some D&R Ryback (bought a pound of it about 3 weeks ago) and I have to say it's not bad. I was afraid it would be harsh, hot smoking, and just overall not enjoyable due to the shag cut (never smoked a shag cut before), but it turned out okay. I liked it enough to buy 8 oz of...

    Who grabbed it?

    Wow, after seeing some of the pipes online, I can see why they sell out so fast.
