    Christmas cheer

    Interesting, I was under the impression that Virginia were generally high in sugar (that's where the sweetness comes from), and comparatively low in nicotine? Look Here I'm not a very good judge of nic content, my system is usually pretty flooded with it due to Copenhagen and Snus usage in...

    Really like the foursquare, one of those is definitely in my future if I can find one I like/in my price range (won't be a dunhill anytime soon). Thanks for sharing. Gary

    You guys want a good laugh?

    Those are awesome, I especially like the fukushima fish :rofl: "sprinkled inconspicuously with nineteen, .16 carat, red Rubies..." how in the world could a pipe be inconspicuous with gemstones on it? hilarious

    Nicotine Level

    No worries. Sometimes things hide in plain sight. I just noticed it a few days ago!

    Tobacco Suggestions

    Call up one of the site sponsors and ask about aromatic samplers. There are several prepackaged that represent a wide range of aromatic flavors. and also 1Q, if you have a local B&M they almost definitely have it and will know what you're talking about even if they call it something else.

    Just one guy's opinion

    Pipewife, agree 100%, I have agreed both for new smokers. If you know the new smoker in question try to steer them towards whichever option is more likely to keep them happy and interested in smoking. If you don't know them, ask questions and help them make an informed decision. As has been...

    Brothers of the Beard

    I wish I was allowed to grow a beard. I think after I retire in a few years I may never shave again.

    SANDY!

    Good luck brother, it passed by us offshore last night. Thoughts are definitely with you.

    Nicotine Level

    For some reason my phone doesn't want to let me post a link, but there is a sticky on the main page about tobacco basics that addresses this. Good starting point.

    Just one guy's opinion

    Dude I changed my post because shallow wasn't the word I wanted to use. If you think I proved one of your posts, that's your opinion. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. Lets break out the "participation ribbons" and move on. I agree with your sentiment about dunhills, up to the point where you...

    Just one guy's opinion

    Two pages of threads in one day tells me that it is an engaging topic that people are enjoying talking about. If you take all the opinion posts out, you're not left with much. I guess we could just go back to threads about "what's the best aro." Wait that's opinion too...so if we take all the...

    Argo

    Just got back from seeing "Argo", it was amazing. When it was over I realized I had been more or less holding my breath for the last 30 minutes even though I knew how it was going to end. Generally speaking, I'm not much of an Afleck fan, but he did pretty good acting, and a fantastic job...

    Radio Show for Oct 25 is On!

    Listened on my way to work this morning. I thought the opening line jab at the other pipe podcast was hilarious. I enjoyed the "pipe parts" discussion, didn't really learn anything from it, but thought it was a great subject. Although I must admit, I was a little surprised when Brian didn't...

    FWIW, I believe it is green stain and waxed, not paint and shellac

    Peterson Racing Green Color Change?

    No worries, I just realized that my OP was being taken for yet another "why does my new Pete suck so bad" thread, and that wasn't the intent. I agree Pete's QC department has been slipping lately and that's sad, however I've been a fan for about 10 years and have rarely been disappointed. I'm...

    Just one guy's opinion

    This is the part where I would normally apologize for derailing the thread, but I think this one had run its course at least 20 posts ago.
