    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

    Tonite I'm finishing up on some strawberry delight I picked up from a local cigar shop and on deck is some plum pudding, both pipes I bought a year ago, both with the name La Rocca out of Italy.

    Beginner Lighter Recommendations for Cigars?

    I use this torch that I picked up from dollar general, I've had it about 2 years with no problems and I believe it only costs me about 6 bucks. It's a single flame and I light all kinds of ring gauges with ease.

    Restoring Acrylic Versus Vulcanite Stems

    I remember a few years ago I spilled some isopropyl alcohol on a cigar lighter I had that was made of acrylic and it cracked the body so bad that it no longer held butane so I will more than likely never use alcohol on an acrylic stem

    Thank you OldFart, my fiance has family around the Hagerstown area. I came across a local pipe and tobacco shop near me thru Google that I plan on visiting next weekend, I will definitely pick up both the plum pudding and Mississippi River if they have them or I may have to get them online...

    Greetings from Delaware

    Good mornin to all! I've recently gotten into pipes as an alternative to cigarettes. I've been an avid cigar smoker for years. I enjoy premium cigars as well as roll my own. I'm looking forward to starting my journey on the pipe tobacco path and would eventually like to start making my own...
