Hello from Indiana
Welcome from FL. I smoke mostly cobs and it is my opinion that they give the truest flavor of the tobacco (once broken in--which is a lot less work than for a briar--the only way to get a purer taste would be to use a new clay pipe). Also their price range means that with cobs I can dedicate...- AKinser79

Hey Y'all
I'll have to seek out both then. I rather like shag cuts. There was years ago a blend I liked to smoke called Arcadia, based off of Sherlock Holms, that was a shag cut with a good amount of Latakia in it. I don't remember who made it...might have been McClelland...but I've not seen a tin of...- AKinser79

Do You Smoke Outside Your Home/Yard?
I smoke both inside and outside. At work the building is non-smoking by state law (all restaurants are in the state of FL) so outside then, which is why at work I favor small bowled pipes for a quick smoke. At home inside, I have no one to answer to except Miss Kitty (a cat) and so far she's...- AKinser79

Hey Y'all
I have a few that are looking like that. I bit through the stem of one the other day (an old one) I just took my knife out and cut the stem back and called it fixed.- AKinser79

Hey Y'all
I'm given to understand that the whole state was more than a little different back then. These days if one wants to have a taste of "old Florida" they really should go to the Forgotten Coast. It is still pretty underdeveloped there. I would recommend that you try it. Some have a low opinion...- AKinser79

Tobacco for New Smokers
Pretty much this in my opinion. Though I've never tried Chatham Manor (never seen it down where I am) I can recommend Carter Hall. It was my go to smoke for many years. Though I like to dry it just a bit--Florida is humid and when I was in high school and in my 20s Mother relegated my smoking...- AKinser79

How Much Do You Smoke?
I would suggest that a better question is what is the weight of tobacco smoked per day. Bowls come in all manner of sizes and capacities. For example my work horse cobs are quite small bowled--good for a 10-15 minute smoke whereas I have a briar Canadian that has a bowl that looks like a golf...- AKinser79

Hey Y'all
@Ethan I'm not much of a drinker so you can have my bourbon. But yes I do love a cob pipe. As I say a new cob pipe is perhaps the truest taste of a tobacco unless one has a clean clay pipe. @kcghost I've been to Key West, nice town, a bit touristy, I like the other end of the state much...- AKinser79

The Pipe Smoker's Paraphernalia
I'm not retired. But I live in Florida and jeans are considered almost formal wear down here so I'm pretty much of the same opinion. The last time I wore a suit was to a funeral and I had to borrow it.- AKinser79

Hey Y'all
I'm not good at introductions and being all flowery and whatnot so lets get down to business. I'm A. Kinser. I've smoked a pipe since I was 15 years old way way back in the 1990s. I took it up because everyone else was smoking Marlboro or whatever and I insisted on being different. I'm from...- AKinser79
