    Favorite Stop of the Day

    Brewster's General store I'm sure still looks the way it did in 1897 when it was first opened, and probably still has some of the same tobacco for sale. According to these three men they inherited those stools in the backroom from their ancestors who have been sitting there since day one...

    My pipe adventure was doctor recommended, after 35yrs. of smoking cigarettes the Dr. told me quitting all together would be best, but if I was going to smoke smoking a pipe and enjoying the flavor of the tobacco instead of inhaling it straight into my lungs; receive the nicotine thorough my...

    Virginias

    Got an interesting reply to this question at an old general store. In the back room some of the local old timers hang out and drink coffee smoke pipes & cigars & tell lies, since I'm 60 these old timers are in their late 70's and 80's. Everyone knows everyone in this town and they all know I'm...

    Virginias

    Pardon me for sounding dumb or weird but I'm only a year or so into pipe smoking and I am still learning and sampling. I just got some Daughters & Ryan Windsail Silver and I think its ok, but it is my first Virginia, and I found it to have a slight salty taste. I was just wondering if all...

    Bulk or Tins?

    Bulk or Tins?

    Enjoying a Morning smoke with my OL'Buddy Handsome after jarring a bag of Nutty Irishman and a tin of Founding Fathers and had a thought since bulk is cheaper, and I'm going to put the tin in a mason jar anyway what is the tin benefit other than the nice picture on the label? Any thoughts?
