    First Peterson

    Ok, No photos as I suck at taking em. Smokes wonderfully, no obvious defects that I can see. The finish itself is a nice dark green, but I have read that color finishes tend to darken over time so I will probably end up with a blackish looking pipe. Other than that not much to say, I think once...

    First Peterson

    Mac Baren Vanilla Flake

    Just smoked my last flake of it the other night. Can't seem to find any either so I bought a pouch of the ribbon cut at a B&M......just not the same thing.

    Bowl shape for flakes or medallions

    Welcome to the dark side. I love smoking flakes, but don't really care what the bowl shape is. You should get some pretty good answers here soon, I am a newbie and really have no clue other than flakes are my preference.

    Squadron Leader

    Cigarette smoker, so Vitamin N is no problem. I had no idea it was considered a strong English.....guess this jumping in with out looking can be a good thing. Ok, I am editing this post.....Vitamin N is a big stronger than I at first thought. Still pure goodness.

    Ashes

    Was smoking erinmore mixture. I seem to really enjoy that tobacco, and still waiting for my small TAD order to arrive. No hot ashes yet, but I may have been close to sucking them back since it was a very enjoyable day of smoking. It sure does seem that no matter how long the bowl lasts, when...

    The After Midnight Club

    Snuff and pipe....sounds like a good mix to me. Must be said that I have never done snuff, so take the above with a rather large dose of.....well something.

    Ashes

    I went an entire day, smoked 4 bowls, and each and everyone burned down to ash. No dottle. I think I might finally be getting the hang of this pipe smoking thing, and I am loving it.

    The After Midnight Club

    If they kept to the book, then I am looking forward to geeky japanese sword slayer and blind ninja dude.....Yonkers is gonna be good to. It still doesn't matter if it is close to the book or not, I will watch anything with zombies in it.. My theory, and I like to think it is pretty sound, is...

    Why did you start smoking a pipe?

    I have been smoking most of my adult life. I enjoy smoking, the act and feel of it. The reason I decided to try pipes was because if I was going to smoke my whole life then I should also enjoy the taste of it. Sure enjoying the switch over from cigarettes.
