    Who cares about the briar? Now I'm hungry, again. OMG!!!! Now I have to drive over to Astoria, Queens/NY....to one of the greatest areas settled by Greeks, and the food is just heavenly. Figs, olives, cheeses, pastry, cookies, all homemade and fresh. Oh....for a dish of oven braised lamb...

    Match Tobacco vs. the Real Blend

    Love the thread, especially the links leading to all the reviews. Very, very informative. Great stuff! Now, because of some of the treads covering the subject of VaPer blends, I decided to take the plung and try a few Virginia-Perique blends. For my unveiling, I started by smoking...

    Wilke Pipe Tobacco Suggestions

    "Gotham Court"...a wonderful, smooth, blend, mild and mellow. Others will love the aroma, too. Smoked it in my salad days. BTW, Wilke used to sell sample packets of their blends. Ask....maybe they still do. It's the best way to smoke small amounts of different mixes until you get to know...

    Are Increasing Numbers of Pipe Smokers Good or Bad?

    Reading through all the posted comments makes me scratch my head, and wonder how the statistics were generated. Common, everyday, observations lead me to this conclusion....the statistics are wrong. I believe there is little or no evidence to support the assertion that pipe-smoking is on the...

    High Vitamin N Blends?

    Guys.... Thanks for naming names. Now I know what not to buy. Don't like the getting a nic-buzz, the nic-headaches and queasy stomach. Frank

    Escudo

    @ davidintexas..... Thanks for the pep talk. I needed it. Try as I may, I really can't tell the differences between one BLEND from another, and couldn't, even with a gun pointing at my head, tell you what tobaccos were in any given blend. Except any blends smelling of Latakia. I could smell...

    Squat Bulldog w/Cumberland- Just Off The Bench

    Beautiful pipe. The stem looks more difficult, and more complicated to make well, than the wood section. Just a guess on my part. I'd hate to get all those tapering and converging angles wrong! Technical question: Do you join the Oosik bone to the briar shank, or, join the bone to the...

    Virginia/Perique Blends..... First Time Smoker

    I specifically bought "match-Elizabethan" because I read that Dunhill is phasing out their tobaccos. I didn't want to chance loving a blend that's almost semi-defunct, and will be retired shortly.

    What Time Is Your Favorite Time to Smoke?

    I try to smoke my pipe after lunch, between 1:00 PM -2:30PM....and then again, right around dusk. Love sitting on my back deck, alone, and love to smoke especially if it's a cool, breezy, evening. Indian Summer...the best! Autumn in New York can be quite lovely. The stench of filthy streets...

    Virginia/Perique Blends..... First Time Smoker

    Frank is back. Just finished VaPer-izing. Charged a big bowled pipe with match-Elizabethan and had a wonderful, flavorful, smoking experience. Tobacco tasted sweet, mellow, not harsh, not steamy, didn't burn hot and tasted a little grassy? The fresh tobacco reminded me of sweet hay. Is that...

    Virginia/Perique Blends..... First Time Smoker

    Wow.....You guys wax poetic ehen it comes to your fav VaPer blends. I read though all the interesting responses...all information packed. I can't wait until a little later to stuff the briar and sip some smoke. I hope I'm in for a treat. The aroma of this blend is intoxicating. I just...

    Virginia/Perique Blends..... First Time Smoker

    Just ordered a few bowls worth of match-blended ELIZABETHAN. I was curious, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about when it came to that magical, VaPer Nirvana that I've been reading about. I want to expand my tobacco experiences by smoking different blends. Right now, I'm smoking Lane...

    Anyone Else Having Mold Issues?

    Thank you for answering my questions about freezing tobaccos for storage. You guys pointed out the demerits that I did not consider. You took me to school, and now I know why freezing tobaccos is not such a good idea. BTW, After posting, and a little more reflection, I kind of came to answer...
