    Made A Big Mistake: Smoked A Cigar

    Someone I shall not name (but starts with Hoosier) recommended a certain place to buy decent cigars at auction and now I am in constant hot water with the Mrs for buying cigars one week and then a pipe tobacco order another. The thing I like about cigars is 1) mindless enjoyment 2) prodigious...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    I just smoked a nice bowl of Carter Hall in a Charatan half-bent blast. Got this bowl smoked way down to the bottom...small successes for me. Still a few relights, but it's all good.

    Now I know I can't be the only one that glanced at this picture and thought...yes you are thinking it too.

    Using “Filler Tobacco”

    I do. I usually have something too that I tried and did not like and I often put that in the bottom. I do try to keep the basic genre the same or just use something fairly neutral, but the reality is that little bit in the bottom does not get burned and gets tossed out. I think doing what you...

    Starting A Collection/ Returning to Pipe Smoking - Tons of Questions for Vetrens!

    There is a thing called 'Delayed Gratification Technique' in pipe smoking and I also think it applies to buying pipes. Buy one at a time and just pick up one now and then and before long you have a good collection. I for one gravitate to artisan pipes...some cheap and some expensive, but all...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    A short smoke of Black Frigate in a small cob...thanks to Hoosierpipeguy for donating the Black Frigate in a recent trade. I like it!

    What Makes a Good Pipe?

    A good pipe is one worthy of saying, "...And put that in your pipe and smoke it!". Anything else is a bad pipe. Also, if you have nicer pipes I could not afford, your pipes are bad too. However, if you sell me one of your nicer pipes, they become great once I own them.

    Aromatic English Yea Or Nay

    I tried Bald Headed Teacher and hated it. I'm going to try Black Frigate, which a few have mentioned. So I'm undecided on crossing aromatic with English right now. With that said, more power to anyone that likes this cross-over genre.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    SPCPP in a Kirk Bosi. Watching a storm come in and almost in a trance from the smell of the PP. Kirk Bosi made excellent pipes...I have 3.

    Ever Gotten Bored Mid-Bowl?

    I think we tend to have an automatic reaction to wasting lots of things. Goes all the way back to dinner as kids and your parents telling you not to waste food (there are poor children in (it is not PC to say where anymore lol) that would want that). As pipe smokers, there is a part of many of...

    What Did You Smoke Today? Cigars.

    Pinar Del Rio Seleccion. It was free with a pipe tobacco order a while back. I would not buy them, but I enjoyed smoking a cigar today nonetheless.

    If You Love Plum Pudding You'll Also Love.... ?

    Me too on relighting PP too often. I am drying longer, but still having to relight a lot. I have started hitting the lighter to it for a quick helper light when I can tell it is struggling and that has helped keep me from getting as annoyed that it went out again. The OP says they have few...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    3 Blind Moose in a MH 97 (not sure who MH is, but they made a damn fine pipe). One of my best smokes ever...everything just fell into place today...few relights, easy cadence, not too hot. Nice.
