    Hope that tobacco likes Bojangles chicken and biscuits…cause that’s what it’s getting! 😄

    Lifespan of Pipe Smokers

    Doc Chopper had something on here I found useful when considering risk. Don’t get addicted to nicotine, don’t overdo it. (1 bowl a day), and the risks are likely minor. I get great satisfaction and relaxation and it is absolutely worth it! The most dangerous thing I do every day is drive to...

    Lifespan of Pipe Smokers

    When you look at these questions like a regression…lots of different things can add up to the whole. It’s hard to apportion causality when multiple things (or their interactions) can or do cause the end result.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***

    Taste and Flavor for over 60s

    Interesting thought. Flavor through retrohaling is in part learned associations with volatile molecules found in the smoke.

    Taste and Flavor for over 60s

    Have any of you long term guys, or (Ahem…) AARP members noticed a decrease in any sensitivity of taste or flavor while enjoying pipe tobacco? Reading a bit today about how olfactory sensory neurons rapidly decrease as we age. Also, it seems like this phenomenon occurs quicker in men than...

    Favorite Peterson Pipe Finish

    I was surprised how much I liked the hand feel of my rusticated 313. The chunky rustication has a nice tactile feel, and feels substantial. I have a sandblast too that has a different hand feel. You can’t go wrong but my “wow” factor on first pick up was significantly higher with the...

    Lifespan of Pipe Smokers

    See my previous comments about German smokers. Get out and enjoy your pipe and keep moving! (Also choose to be happy, which a pipe can help with 😄).

    Peterson 999

    You know this is how PAD becomes terminal 😂

    The Breath Method as Described by Muttonchop Piper

    the breath method results in “sips”, keeping the temp down and the smoke cooler. From a “perception” perspective, taste is perceived in the tastebuds, but also through what smokers would call a “retrohale”. Smells can be perceived by inhaling in through the nose, but tastes (internal tastes)...

    What do you find the difference between the centenarian and the modern 999?
