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

    Having a clay double feature in honor of @AppalachianPiper92 - Happy belated Birthday! Just finished some Oriental in one, the other is waiting with a load of my first aromatic because I'm in the mood for something sweet now. I was with my grandmother all sunday, she invited me over for a...

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

    A mix of leftovers, I don't wanna write all the stuff down. Trying to involve the briars into a regular rotation. Today I've been smoking more today than all this past week. Must be my 8th pipe by now. It was just an amusing thought after seeing that ad, mooch and pack down half the pouch and...

    I've seen one of those guys devour a 3ft cows rib in what felt like two or three minutes. No idea how long it really was, I just stood there slackjawed.

    Pipe Tobacco business

    I assume that you're referring to my post. By "big" brands I mean all the OTC (Over The Counter) brands, pipe tobaccos that are sold in any shop that also offers a bigger selection of cigarette brands. But hey, the most expensive pipe tobacco I ever tasted is a MacBaren Scottish Blend out of...

    Pipe Tobacco business

    Would be neat if a handmade pipe tobacco was appreciated the same way a handrolled cigar is. All the big pipe tobacco brands and blends are processed by machines, but if it's handmade than that little tin would involve a whole lot of thought and work. I'm not sayingt that the big ones don't...

    Ode to My First Meer

    Glad to hear you got over that little chip in the chamber. But why exactly did you put the coin in it? I can't seem to figure it out from other posts in this thread. I've seen other fellow forum members recommend these metal "wads" against gurgling.: I'm sure you can just cut a piece out of...

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

    Straight Oriental in clay, I mixed in more of the brighter leaf and all of a sudden it's a really nice smoke. Used to have a really nasty bite before. Enjoying some sweet North Macedonian red with it, nothing going on this saturday so I got M*A*S*H, The A-Team, Popeye, Becker and NewsRadio on...

    Autumn Leaves

    After biting off a piece of my clay pipe during working around I'm a little soured with that experience. But I love to take walks with a pipe in my mouth. Still, a pipe at home in my armchair by my little cabinet will still be the best experience. Just don't get the idea to ignite it with your...

    High Quality of Missouri Meerschaums

    So far I only have one 10€ MM corn cob pipe and I can only repeat myself: I'm astonished that such a rather crude construction can provide such a good smoke. It never gave me a hard time, just a high performance. Hell, it's probably the best performing pipe I have.

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

    Some freshly cut Latakia Virginia Bright in my sawn-off hunter pipe, a cold pilsener to wash it down. It's as good a smoke as it always was. Can't believe it took me so long to try this leaf straight. My damn washing machine broke yesterday and flooded the bathroom and parts of the hallway...

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

    Having some of my first selfmade aromatic in a Jean Claude basket pipe. That heavy nutella smell of the tobacco itself almost puts me off, it's not something I associate with pipe tobacco. But it sure smokes and tastes great. Nice aromas of Virginia, Burley and Kentucky with a mild but sweet...

    Post Your Pets!

    I've seen a dog and cat thread but what the hey, here's big ol' Ernie. Resting quite comfortably on my freshly washed and machine dried warm bedstuff, as he likes to do. I got him and his brother when they were about four months old, they were neglected and looked like four week old kittens...

    Blending your own tobaccos

    It certainly sounds good. That shot glass of whiskey inside of the jar is a really neat idea, I never would've come up with that. I would've used the drink as a carrier, the main ingredient of the "sauce". I plan to do an Irish coffee blend in the future, with freshly ground coffee beans and...

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

    Our own Resident Royalty, the King of Clay, was recently observed to state a concern over the smokability of his blend. The flakes of the Virginia Gold Lemon leaves that were soaked with lemon peel infused mead are still in the process of carefully drying, currently jarred up to settle. First I...

    North Texas Novice

    Happy smokes from Northern Germany and welcome to this fine forum. puffy I love cigars and cigarillos but a pipe blows a smoke so thick with delight that I can't even see them anymore. A pipe is not only a tool to smoke tobacco with, it is also a tool to comfort yourself with. There are ways of...
