    Quit Smoking 30 Years Ago... Good to be Back

    I quit smoking cigarettes a few years back. After the patches, I picked up pipes again and although I know it's not ideal health wise, it sure is nice to not be chained to the things. Welcome!

    Hello from Spokane

    How is Spokane? I've been really needing to get out of California. I don't know how anybody affords anything here.

    Can you Cellar too Long?

    Title edited for caps and brevity. Please look to Rule 9. Easy peasy. Hello, I know the general answer is - maybe. But, let's say I have a wide variety of sealed tins in a sealed tupperware. Is there such a thing as waiting too long? Does it happen with aromatics? What about other types of...

    When to dump the ash and light up again?

    I don't often pay attention to the ash unless it's the tabocco is particularly feisty about staying lit. Then I might tip a little out. Out of curiosity, do you tip out the ash when you relight? Does it help get it going?

    How Many Times a Day can You Smoke a Pipe

    As a general rule, I smoke my pipe only once a day. On cooler holidays (chilly I mean, not tubular bodacious holidays) I smoke twice or so.

    Does Tea reduce the risks of tabacco pipe smoking?

    You summed my feelings pretty well. While I try to be healthy in other arenas, I realize pipe smoking just ain't healthy. I enjoy it quite a bit, and that's enough.

    What are You Reading Now?

    I know it's great! It's like HP Lovecraft with 20,000% less racism. And somehow he does it better... strange.

    Pipe Types and Bowl Sizes and Lengths

    Hello, Newbie question. What are the rules of thumb on types of pipes matching certain tobaccos? I've heard things like "smoke Virginia in a .75 bowl or less, longer stems if it bites" and other things like that. Wider bowls for aromatics or English. Is there anything to this?

    What are You Reading Now?

    I've never been a comic book guy, but my brother is staying with us and he is. So I've been reading this manga writer who does HP Lovecraft cosmic horror incredibly well with great illustrations to boot. Getting used to reading from "back" to "front" in the Japanese style is tough, but worth...

    Sugar or Mold

    You tell me brother. I ain't no mycelium mycologist sugar expert! But this all helped. I hadn't seen tobacco with either so I appreciate the guidance.
