Looking for a Pipes and Philosophy Group
By your handle I took it you were Catholic, forgive my ignorance but I was raised Irish Catholic (now Orthodox) and I have never heard of Tobacco being sinful but again I was Irish Catholic so Whiskey and Lucky Strikes kind of was the Tradition.- vosBghos

Looking for a Pipes and Philosophy Group
Attend a pipe club looking for philosophers and you'll likely come up empty. Attend an Orthodox or Catholic or Anglican or Reformed church and find out when guys get together to talk theology, and you'll find half of them lighting pipes and the other half interested to try. North Idaho in a...- vosBghos

Best Shag Cut Blends?

Pipes With a Restrictive Draw
That is pretty much why I only collect cheap Brighams sans the filter for outings and Ser Jacopos for home use, dependable open draw every time. Though I have a few others here and there these always deliver the flavor.- vosBghos

Your Favorite Classic Blends (Virginia, Burly, English, etc) and Why?
Another vote for Peterson Flake (formerly Dunhill) for a great, user-friendly, no-nonsense Virginia flake. If you can get your hands on it and I've seen it around lately Solani Aged Burley Flake is another top-of-the-line Burley. For straight, you can't go wrong with those English Blends and...- vosBghos

Preferred Bowl Size For Burley Blends
I have a few dedicated burley pipes one for Aged Burly Flake a big ol knobby Peterson bent egg type shape and for Five Brothers a big ol Rossi Lumberman for some reason, the only way I can really taste Old Dark Fired is in a cob might be a quirk cause Bold Dark Fired Taste Better in briar. Enjoy...- vosBghos

American Made Pipes
It would be fun to exclusively smoke Adam Davidson Pipes because with how much I smoke and how much his pipes cost I would probably only be smoking 70's era Balkan Sobrani and be living on a Yacht endlessly sailing around the world surrounded by beautiful women in bikinis ;)- vosBghos

Man, I love Burley. What's Your Favorite?
