    For Veteran Pipe Smokers, How Many Types and Blends do you Enjoy on a Regular Basis?

    Yeah I'd like to like Virginias, I just haven't yet. Maybe I need to sip more to crack the code? I'm pretty good at sipping my aros, but I just don't do as well with my Virginias I have tried. Quiet Nights and Chelsea Morning are very forgiving, I can puff away with no tongue bite with those it...

    For Veteran Pipe Smokers, How Many Types and Blends do you Enjoy on a Regular Basis?

    As new pipe smoker, I'm still figuring out what I like. Despite the warning against aromatics, I have found I like a lot of them. I also really like, in fact my two favorite blends are Quiet Nights and Chelsea Morning. I don't like other English blends. In general I have not found myself liking...

    Help with Autumn Evening...

    See I'm not getting any maple it all. I smell it, but not in the flavor, and as I have said before I get taste out of some aromatics. Maybe just not for me. I dried it out for 30 mins got nothing. Gonna try giving it a little moisture and see what I get.

    Help with Autumn Evening...

    Ehh I was recomended to start on English tobacco, but other than GLP Quiet Nights, which I love, I haven't like them. On the other hand I have enjoyed to various extents all aros I have smoked other than Autumn Evening. I think everyone is different which is why I would recommend beginners try a...

    Help with Autumn Evening...

    Yes, in fact my favorite smoke right now is GL Pease Quiet Nights. Its weird, I like the flavors of the aros I like better, but I swear that stuff is dipped in a drug it is euphoric for me. I can sit outside on my back porch like I did today and do nothing but smoke it and hope the bowl never...

    Help with Autumn Evening...

    So I'm a relatively new smoker still, almost two months in, but I took a break for about two weeks dealing with an eye infection that ultimately resulted in surgery. Anyways, I'm having problems enjoying Autumn Evening. First off, I have liked quite a bit the other two aros I have smoked, Lane...

    Quality of Modern Pipes vs Good Quality Vintage Pipes

    Thanks for the advice those are the types of things as a beginner I don't fully understand. And yes those things are important to me, although I do plan on smoking the pipes, I'm not buying them just to collect or display.

    Quality of Modern Pipes vs Good Quality Vintage Pipes

    Maybe I should put this in the beginner forum, since I am a beginner, but it seems appropriate here as well. I have been enjoying this hobby for about a month now, and it is looking like I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon. As I start acquiring more pipes I am drawn in two directions...

    Maybe I'm not packing the pipe tight enough? Lots of smoke with small draw...

    Appreciate the advice about relaxing and enjoying it. MY first probably 3-4 bowls I really enjoyed because I wasn't thinking or overanalyzing (weather outside was great at that time too which I'm sure helped the overall experience). Then I started to try and tastes nuances and got a bit...

    Maybe I'm not packing the pipe tight enough? Lots of smoke with small draw...

    Great advice. Slowed down even further and it helped. I see how with different pipes you may have to adjust different things. I added in a pipe with Lane 1q, and it was packed a little lighter, but the pipe is a really bad hand me down, so I had to draw harder on that one to get less smoke. The...

    Maybe I'm not packing the pipe tight enough? Lots of smoke with small draw...

    So I've been smoking a few weeks now and have prided myself on not having to do many relights. Pipe doesn't seem terribly loosely packed, I use the "3 sprinkle method." But I noticed smoking Peterson Early Morning Pipe that pretty quickly after getting it going I would take a very small puff and...

    Help getting started with first pipes, tobacco, etc.

    Thanks sorry I have been on vacation. Sitting at the airport now reviewing emails and things I have missed. Appreciate the advice and the pipe smoking has been going great! As has been mentioned no matter how much you read and watch you still have trial and error. The day before I left for...

    Is it mouth fatigue or tongue bite?

    It hasn’t been that bad. I’m still enjoying the pipe and I can still taste my food and drink. I’m going out of town this week and my plan is to continue smoking the pipe here at home then take a break while I’m out of town and pick it back up when I get home.

    Is it mouth fatigue or tongue bite?

    I have been smoking now for a little over a week now, and I have noticed that some mornings my tongue feels a bit fatigued, maybe a bit raw. Less able to accept flavors of food. Similar but not exactly the same as like when you scald your tongue on a hot food like pizza the night before. Is this...

    Wind affecting pipe smoking question?

    My back porch is well protected on 3 sides, but a north wind, or just really strong wind will bring gusts swirling around unfortunately. It hasn’t been a problem yet, but I will be forgoing a pipe tonight…
