    Recommendations For Chicago Trip Wanted

    Nothing to add that hasn't already been given, I'll second the Lincoln Park zoo, it's free and is really good, with the conservatory next door with all kinds of cool plants, also free. Iwan Ries is free to get in, but I've never left without buying something ;).

    Learning to smoke Burleys

    I'm with you, I have lame tastebuds. I want to like all the popular blends but aros seem just to sweet, and my tongue rebels against the grassy, hay, fruity sweetness of Virginias. I like many English blends but not everyday. Then I found burleys and that became my home base. I started with...

    Best Pipe for Aromatics

    As has already been mentioned, I think it has more to do with the pipe material than the shape or filters. In my experience, cobs and meers just work better for tobaccos that will smoke wet or hot, as many aromatics do.

    Have You Ever Regretted Selling a Pipe?

    When I first started smoking I didn't know what I liked for shape and style so I bought a lot of different ones and sold a lot, sometimes unsmoked, all without regret. Now that I know what I like I am more careful with purchases (still have PAD but with more discretion :). The only one I...

    I had that same tobacco this morning with coffee, so good! I'm really enjoying the KVB burley blends along with Fireside Chat. You have a much nicer smoking sanctuary, unfortunately I'm in the city, although it was a relatively quiet Chicago morning. Take care

    Pipe Smoking Six Months On

    Same here, settling in on burleys as the standard, with a few Englishs and an occasional aro as well. If you haven't tried OJK it's worth a look, I found it as a smoother version of HB.
