    Flavor Wheel for Tobaccos?

    I remember seeing a flavor wheel for pipe tobaccos, similar to the flavor wheels used by wine fanciers, for describing the different flavors in a pipe tobacco. Do you know where I can find one? Example: Roasted flavors include roasted nuts, smoky, burnt, etc.

    Mac Baren HH blends

    I recently tried all of the Mac Baren HH blends except Rustica. These are very good quality tobaccos, with Latakia Flake being my favorite as an easy-to-rub flake English tobacco. The others are good representatives of their type: Burley, Kentucky, Virginia. I've added a little bit of the very...

    Pipe Sighting at the Movies

    The Unexpected Journey hobbit movie has a lot of pipe smoking, supposedly enough to have created demand for churchwardens. It's a good movie if you're not a stickler for accurate portrayal of the book stories. Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children is another, and the Miss Peregrine...

    Why Did I Start Smoking a Pipe?

    Pleasure. I knew men that smoked and enjoyed cigars and pipes. Pipes appealed to me more than cigars, so I tried a pipe and liked it. Pipe smoking is a pleasant activity.

    Dedicated Pipes

    I have a pipe for smoking aromatics only. I don't dedicate other pipes to a particular blend.

    Do You Have a Disappointing Pipe ? And Why

    I have an XL90 Waterford Fishtail with an acrylic stem and it does not pass a cleaner either. It is also my only pipe with an annoying feature because the mortise is drilled much deeper than the tenon, and liquid accumulates there while smoking. The pipe will gurgle. The work-around is to pass a...

    Lighters: Brebbia 'Bowl Flame' Pipe Lighter

    This is actually a torch lighter. Here is the product description I found at the Danish Pipe Shop: The last years the lighter market has been overwhelmed with new lighters with torch flames. This has been driven by a rising interest in deluxe cigars and accessories. The advantage with torch...

    Lighters: Brebbia 'Bowl Flame' Pipe Lighter

    I also favor the Old Boy lighter, but I do use a Colibri lighter of recent manufacture similar to the one you identified. Like other piezoelectric ignited lighters I've used, it can take a few clicks to light it and it's more sensitive to even slight breezes than the Old Boy. On the other hand...

    Virginias

    Have you smoked enough bowls of it to learn if the tobacco stabilizes with a particular flavor? For me, it usually takes three or four bowls of a new tobacco before I get a stable flavor. There are a lot of blends in the "Virginia" family of pipe tobaccos, and I think trying a few...

    Meerschaum - Don't Touch?

    The shop should have the meers in a glass case or behind a counter if they don't want people to touch them. I smoke meerschaum pipes and could not care less about any effects my hands have on them. I handle them just as I handle any other pipe, which is to say carefully. They do naturally...

    Is it Legal to Smoke a Pipe while Driving?

    Title edited for capitals. Just wondering. This is for long interstate drives, not in heavy traffic.
