    Good Morning!

    Good morning fellow pipe-tooters! What are you smoking this morning? I've got the English Mix in the Bulldog and a cuppa Yorkshire. Thoughts for the day; what would you get if you made a Canadian with a Chimney bowl and what comes to mind when you hear the words "Tyrolian Bulldog"? Also, I...

    Newby Questions About Breaking In A New Pipe

    I get a chuckle out of cosmicfolklore's assessment of the situation but I must disagree with the statement that overthinking is the bane of pipe smoking. Indeed, it's all I've done this last little while! It's been good for the book. I've decided the enchanted teaspoon shall die in the end.

    Types of Tobacco

    From one rookie to another; try a nice dark fired Kentucky Burley. I'm a reformed cigarette addict so I too inhale sometimes but mostly retrohale and I've found that the Burley is nice for this. I've not tried a lot, but there you are. Burley. The way they cure it makes it taste quite sweet...

    And it was probably a terrible couch anyway.

    Early Tuesday Morning Pipe

    If I were the Grim Reaper I would spare cats when I could and take extra humans to make up the difference.

    Perfect Timing, Happinesses Is Tin Shaped

    Well that's rather disappointing isn't it? Just "stay alive" for your loved ones eh? So a coma works then? Surgeon General doesn't care if you have a happy vibrant life just so long as your corporeal form exists in some way to bring a modicum of relief to your stricken relatives it's all good...

    Rotations?

    I should add that I'm smoking typically three to four bowls a day, and using the same pipe all day. Right now I'm on bowl #2, some of that Kentucky Burley with a pinch of English Mix to help dry it out. It take a bit to dry by itself as it seems to be quite wet and it tastes pretty good either...

    I thought so too for the longest time but now I enjoy small racks just as much.

    This is not a bad idea.

    Chronicling an AliExpress Pipe and Purchase for Science

    I don't care about the pipe at this point, I am just blown away by Human Customer Service. When was the last time anyone prepared you an exquisite batch of goods? I'm impressed.

    Rotations?

    I'm willing to accept that, but then again it's not the worst marketing gimmick to get caught up in!

    Rotations?

    Yes, not like my first pipe! Had no idea what I was getting into, thought it was enough that a tobacconist should have quality stuff, unfortunately I was wrong. I got what turned out to be a Danish freehand style pipe with rusticated panels and a plastic bit. The finish on the rim bubbled off...

    Rotations?

    mso489, I have to agree with you about the factory pipes. Not to knock on Brigham but the finish on my 316 just isn't as nice as the finish on their Capri brand pipe I got for half the price. In fact, I'm at a loss as to why the basket pipe didn't make the cut, it's gorgeous and smokes just...

    HistorIc Pipes at the Canadian Museum of History

    Well that's kind of a quaint little pipe. I'd smoke that.

    Rotations?

    So now that I've got a few pipes and can let them rest I'm wondering how everyone else is doing in their rotation and what, if any, new pipes you're looking at. I've only got three pipes, but I feel a lot better about my resting periods for each briar. I'm cleaning, or planning to, about once...

    Show Us Your Smoke Rings

    I can manage the odd ring or two, managing to catch one on film while not looking like a 20-something girl on Instagram is another story. My lips just naturally do the duck face thing, I can't help it and my facial hair isn't epic enough to hide much. I console myself with my chiseled jaw and...
