    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    I work in an office but I get away with a Benchmade Mini Bugout as an edc. As others have said I grew up on a farm with the expectation that you always have a pocket knife on your person.

    GL Pease Embarcadero - A Blend I Enjoy

    Embarcadero really is a fantastic all around blend. Not a chance of bite or harshness, burns effortlessly, enough flavor to keep me interested, enough nic to satisfy but I could still smoke multiple bowls if I felt so inclined without having any issues. Have to tip my hat to Mr Pease for...

    Pipe Smoking and Makin' Babies

    I’m not much of a drinker to begin with but I was smoking a pack a day when we had our kids. Both are healthy and sharp teenagers now. I’ve never heard of smoking or drinking having any effect on conception. Is this a new thing now?

    Leonard W Interviewed On YouTube By Big Apple Pipes

    The answer is always yes. These days I think it is prudent to get a decent stash going of your favorite blends.

    FDA nicotine suggested levels and pipe tobacco blends

    The only smoking tobacco products excluded is hookah tobacco and premium cigars. Looks like we will all be buying “Hookah” tobacco from now on. They would have to find ways to reduce the nicotine content by a factor of at least 10 to even get close. I’m not sure what process that would entail...

    Indiana Proposes Generational Tobacco Ban

    If we want to go down this road we should do it with every harmful activity. Or even lack of activity, like people that refuse to get any exercise, since that is the single greatest factor in determining overall health. Should my premium go up 2% this month because I ate 4 bowls of ice cream...

    Indiana Proposes Generational Tobacco Ban

    It’s en vogue to trash tobacco because the lobbying money just isn’t there anymore. The industry has shrunk that much, it’s an easy target. Meanwhile it’s non-stop sports- betting and online gambling ads here in Michigan. Cannabis, lottery, sports betting, online gambling, and alcohol...

    Season, Ilness, or Palate?

    I had an infected tooth about 3 weeks ago. Everything has tasted funny including my favorite blends. I just finished my antibiotic and things have improved very slowly. Illness, medication, allergies, all kinds of things seem to change my taste buds to some degree. I would give it some time and...

    Bone Dry Tobacco

    I like mine dry. Sometimes I’ll smoke right out of the tin if I don’t have as much time as I would like. But it’s generally a more enjoyable experience when it is very dry. I’ll also say it took me awhile to figure this out. All of those “how to smoke a pipe” beginner videos could be condensed...

    4 noggins

    Where did you hear they are shutting down? I also order from them frequently and have never had any issues.
