Who had a real paper route when they were a kid?
I have a route when I was 12 or 13. They would deliver our paper bundles to a car wash where all us paper boys met. The bundles were tied with wire and we would cut it off so we could roll the pagers. With all that wire around we "had" to find some bad use for it, after all we were kids. So...- searock

Cigar Leaf
It's all a matter of taste. When I owned a shop I tried mixing cigar leaf into some pipe blends. Yuck! Just couldn't make it work for me. The only cigar leaf pipe tobacco I've tried that I thought was really good was some made by Balkan Sobarnie, and that was a lot of years ago. It was...- searock

Latakia
Latakia is like a spice and should be used to add flavor to other tobaccos. I don't think you will like it straight. If you want to be adventerous try a mix of 50% latakia and 50% perique. Although I don't smoke it often I actually kind of like it. Be advised, it is a serious smoke! Another...- searock

Putting my 2-3month pipe experience away.
Taken from LIFESTYLE, but I've seen other lists that confirm it. This is why cigs are different from pipe tobacco. The cig manufacturers have spent millions makeing their product addictive. *** There are over 4,000 different addictives in cigarettes and that is not counting the tobacco. A lot...- searock

Frustration !!!!
I couldn't agree more with all you guys said! Another trick I use with a harsh blend is smoke it in my calabash. That pipe seems to soften any tobacco.- searock

Frustration !!!!
Hi changojoe; I wrote this for another forum but I think you might find it of use. Smoking slowly to avoid tongue bite is good advice. However, the problem can be caused by other factors. Some tobaccos just naturally are high in acid and other things that will bite the tongue. Also, the pipe can...- searock

Pipe Logo
A couple of fun facts about pipe logos. 1. Why do American sold Castellos use a diamond logo and European sold Castellos use a white bar? Because when they started selling Castellos in the U.S. they found that there ware already a pipe using a similar logo. Pipe brand was "White Bar". 2. Is... -

Zippo or IMCO lighter? which one is better?
Just my personal opinion. A pipe should never be lit with a liquid fuel lighter. It leaves an after taste.- searock

My Girlfriend Turned Into A Anti-Tobacco Nazi
It's the nature of a woman to complain. I was a pipe smoker before I got married, she knew it, knew I was not going to quit, agreed it was ok... and bithes about it to this day. About 10 years ago we decided to built a new home. I did not smoke in our house at the time, but now I saw my...- searock
