    New Jersey Beach Smoking Ban

    I find that the smell/smoke/fumes of over-sized diesel trucks are nauseating and much prefer the smell of Latakia! I agree that people who run through the park next to such roads never complain about the trucks, buses and old cars but God forbid you stroll through with a bowl of Lane 1-Q!!!

    Any Recommendation for a Decent Lighter Under $60?

    Any Recommendation for a Decent Lighter Under $60?

    I started out with a bic then moved to a djeep. They will get the job done but I prefer to have a pipe lighter that makes it easier to light. I need all the help I can get. If you enjoy working with a Bic or matches - good on you! I, however, am not as nimble and like to use an angled pipe lighter.

    Turner Classic Movies

    I am working my way through the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies and I enjoy smoking a pipe for the hour long movies. There is at least one scene with pipe smoking and sometimes they even discuss blends in there. It seems like the classic color movies feature cigarette smoking and the...

    Any Recommendation for a Decent Lighter Under $60?

    I have the Zippo pipe lighter which I use outside. I prefer to use butane indoors or when it is not windy. I really enjoy my xikar pipeline lighter (~$45 on amazon) see picture below. I also have a Vector pipe lighter which cost me $30 at my B&M so you may be able to get them a little cheaper...

    Well I am sure glad to find out that I am not the only one who has had this mishap!

    New Jersey Beach Smoking Ban

    Imagine how shocked I was that they have one of the oldest tobacco shops in the heart of one of the oldest cities and a deflated ball throw away is a historic park where I was going to sit and smoke the oldest blend they had to offer. However, I was unable to live out this dream because of a...

    Where Do You Source Your Dunhill?

    Good to know. I will keep an eye out at the shop for those.

    Where Do You Source Your Dunhill?

    Not yet. My buddy and I were just talking about Balkan Supreme on Thursday night!

    What Does Exactly "Taste of the Tobacco" Mean???

    I find that if I want to pick certain flavors/scents in a blend I may have to bounce back between retrohaling, slow sip and sometimes a deep puff. For instance, Samuel Gawith's Firedance is pretty much tasteless to me if I puff it fast. When I slow down, sip and slowly push the smoke out of my...

    Where Do You Source Your Dunhill?

    "Move on to other, better blends while keeping your eye out for Dunhill coming up for sale. I think if you give enough other good blends a try, you won't want to be paying a premium for the Dunhill stuff." This is true. I have been on a Cornell and Diehl binge lately and I hope to...

    What Do You Like To Drink When You Smoke Your Pipe?

    I find that some drinks pair better with certain blends. Black coffee with a sweet aromatic, English breakfast tea with an English blends, rooibos tea with a Balkan, and water with pretty much all blends! I don't always pair my drinks with such discipline. If I am in a pissed off mood I will...

    Where Do You Source Your Dunhill?

    Embers, Great advice. I have started to buy and store my favorites and will continue to keep my tobacco collection going. I have my 1st tin of Black Frigate on the way (someone gave me one from 2016 so I am going to wait to smoke that one) and maybe I will stop this random searching and just...

    Where Do You Source Your Dunhill?

    Embers, Are you saying that I need to just accept the fact they are gone??? I am in the bargaining stage, then a bit of depression should set in and finally I will accept it. I have a ways to go... On a serious note, I have "kind of" moved on. I enjoy and have plenty of blends that are great...

    Where Do You Source Your Dunhill?

    I have to admit (it is the first step right?) that I fell for the Dunhill trap. You know, the one where you try a few Dunhill blends and are hooked and then you spend the rest of eternity trying to find them. I fell in love with the big 3: Aperitif, Nightcap, and Early Morning Pipe. I have found...

    A Change Of Focus... And More Enjoyment (Warning! Long Post)

    Excellent post! I have a few pipes that I have been looking at but with the fear of the tobacco apocalypse, I have focused more on getting the blends I want to try rather than trying to buy more pipes. I have 12 pipes, one more on the way, and I promised myself no more than 15 pipes in my...
