    Estate Pipes in NYC

    Bottom line.... "Pipes and Tobacco Shops" in NYC are dead, gone, extinct, defunct. Rigor mortis has set in. The few, high-end "Cigar Lounges" in Manhattan.....are def NO substitute.

    Estate Pipes in NYC

    I live in NYC. The old timey pipe shops are gone. I feel the loss especially when my pipe itch starts to kick in. Etsy and eBay have come to my rescue, but it's def not like buying a 3-D pipe after holding it in your hands. I really like to see what I'm buying. Pictures ain't worth a...

    Tobacco in the Carbon Cake

    The secret to becoming a happy pipe-smoker is to ignore most things about pipe-smoking. Beyond the very basics....most suggestions are subjective, useless, anecdotal, and cause hyper-concern and less enjoyment for the pipe smoker. Smoke that hunk of wood and don't fret so much. Life's too...

    USPS Sorting Facilities (International Mail)

    I'm still waiting for a package that was shipped from China. Tracking indicates that it's "on the way to the next postal facility". It's only been 3 months. I'll be in a coffin when it finally arrives.

    What's Your Best Dish?

    Thanks a lot! My new year's vow was to drop two or three tons...NOW!...not possible after reading this. Subsalac: Good luck with the date.... I can only loosen my belt just so far before I run out of leather.

    Latakia-Light Blends

    Lane Ltd "HGL" = Captain Black -original with small addition of Latakia (very mild, great aroma) John Patton's "Dark and Stormy" (4Noggins) Two off the top of my head that are terrific smokes. Alternative: As suggested...buy a few ounces of blender's Latakia and add small amounts to your fav...

    Trying To Find Something Similar To A Particular Pipe Tobacco In Cigar Form

    When it comes to cigars...I know absolutely nothing....don't laugh, but just asking: Can Butternut Burley pipe tobacco be hand-rolled into a cigar by a cigar maker? Maybe a mild, flavorless wrapper with BB as the filler? Too costly????

    Now, I know....and learned the hard way.

    Advice Please! Amping It Up A Bit

    All great advice....but also, try buying a few ounces of bulk, Cigar-Leaf, that's been processed for blending. Just add some - (try small amounts first) - to your favorite mixture(s) for some interest and flavor. Mild Cigar-Leaf (Maduro) adds some extra creaminess, and smoke volume, without...

    Preventing Ebonite Oxidation

    Thanks guys, for the comments, which I will definitely follow.

    Preventing Ebonite Oxidation

    I just went through the difficult process of removing the foggy oxidation from a Charatan stem. What a pain in the ass! On a sheer whim... while watching TV....I decided that the straight, very boring, stem needed a little more pizzazz, an ever-so-slight bend. So, I removed my fat butt out of...

    Your Least Favorite Tobacco

    Latakia......evokes: burnt feathers, scorched hair- leather, creosote, roofing tar...... Just can't deal with the smell of too much Latakia, either smoked or unsmoked.... Many years ago I was a member of the New York Pipe Club, back when Sailor Man Jack was Prez. He smoked a very strong...

    Smoky Tobacco

    Try adding some mild, cigar-leaf to any blends, for more thick, creamy, smoke and some extra flavor and a more interesting smoke.

    Nic-Hit

    Last year I experienced my first, and hopefully, my last case of nic-hit. It was bad! it was so bad that I thought I had suffered a mild heart attack, at first.....but then I remembered that I had smoked my pipe about one hour previous to the first waves of violent nausea, sweating, chills...

    What Are Hotel Administrations Thinking-Smoking Banned

    I wish there were bans for men's colognes and women's perfumes. Both sexes reek when doused with this overly concentrated, nostril-curling swill. Try eating/dining next to some "skirt" who took a bath in perfume..... The food tastes like soap, and it's just as offensive and annoying as any...

    Quick Mix Query

    I think you might be on the right track by "diluting" the strong cherry topping by mixing it into some neutral tobaccos, like Cavendish, Burleys, etc. Try: bulk Captain Black/RPL-6, or 1-Q, etc, for your unflavored aro "base". I would start experimenting by mixing very small amounts of the...

    What's Your Favorite Bulk Aromatic?

    Try: John Patton's 'STORM FRONT" @ 4Noggins. Great tobacco blend, def not the usual OTC. Sweet smoking, mild with flavor, nice aroma....good stuff.

    Good Smokes vs. Habitual Smokes

    Hello, and Merry Christmas to all... Peace on earth to all men of good will. Since I started smoking and blending my own special mixture, I have enjoyed the routine and experience of smoking my pipe(s). I didn't enjoy every bowlful when I was less discerning, and still searching and sampling...

    TobaccoReviews.com Lore Discussion

    If memory serves me, Sailorman Jack, was at one time, back about 20+ years ago, the president of the New York Pipe Club. This club is still active. Jack was literally, quite a larger-than-life character, to say the least. I was a new member of the NY Pipe Club back in those days, and Jack was...
