    I Did Not Enjoy That

    I had that happen around 2 years ago. Haven't smoked a pipe since. It was a really bad hit though and I was huddled over the toilet like I'd been out drinking all night. Couple that with having had surgery and it was a bad deal. Finally I'm starting to get that urge to pick it up again. I may...

    Getting Bored

    I've been out of the loop so to speak for over two years. Had surgery and got sick on a heavy nic blend and lost interest. I would just look at my pipes and get nauseated, it sucked so bad. I have since packed up my stuff but think I'm going to bring it back out and give it a go, I'm getting...

    First Timer

    Welcome! I've just recently returned and also started smoking a pipe in memory of my father. When I smoked before it was only 1 bowl a day, 2 to 3 max if I was feeling up to it, lol. Take it slow and sample all there is to sample out there. Its a fun journey!

    How to Prevent Nausea While Smoking?

    @Embers Also, thanks for the info about blood sugar. I had no idea that is what caused the nausea and that nicotine did that. After reading that I did correlate the symptoms to that of a diabetic with a dropping blood sugar. Perhaps now I can avoid that unpleasantness and enjoy my pipes again!

    What Degree of Leaf Strength?

    I can't smoke the heavy hitters....heck, I can't even attempt medium strength. I get really sick from the nicotine hit. I just bought some new tobacco blends hoping they are low nic, turns out most are aromatic's. I'm trying Molto Dolce, H&H Classic Burley Kake and Mac Baren 7 Sea's Royal. This...

    A Pipes Magazine App?

    I have asked this before too. I don't think that the integration for tapatalk costs money. I'm a member of a gaming organization that is run off of donations and they are available on tapatalk. Okay, I checked it out. Tapatalk uses a forum plugin. There is a tier for services and there is a free...
