VaPer
Well, my experiment with VaPers has been most rewarding, a journey filled with danger, discovery, and darn good smokes. I can now state with assurance that I can join the club of VaPer lovers.- sinistertopiary

Input needed.
It's mighty brave to consider opening a tobacco shop in this day and age. The advice from cacooper and pipegangster seem very prudent to me. If you're intent on opening a B&M dunendain's observation about a smoking lounge should be considered. There's a tobacconist in upstate New York I visit...- sinistertopiary

Squadron Leader is an excellent Balkan full of complexity -- can't go wrong with it. Commonwealth is a latakia powerhouse that is quite planar, but is one of the silkiest smokes out there. Can't go wrong with that either. 1792 is a strong, bombastic flake that you either love or hate, but which...- sinistertopiary

I like small ones (pipes, that is)
I love small pipes. They've proven to be really great smokers for me. Once I got the first one (the dublin) I had to get the others in this Chacom Smart series.- sinistertopiary

Churchwarden's opinions
One of the first pipes I bought was a churchwarden, largely because of the mystique and stereotypical associations it has with luxuriant relaxation, and partly because, practically, it's supposed to cool the smoke. I must have bought a subpar one, because the bowl burns hot, but I never had a...- sinistertopiary

With a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all of his favorite bars, men in red woolen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things he'll never know. -Raoul Duke, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas- sinistertopiary

Favorite Sherlock Holmes movie for pipe smokers?
Our experience is almost identical. As I say in my second blog post, one day I was watching Spellbound, a 40s Hitchcock movie, wherein a wise old psychoanalyst luxuriously smokes a calabash. "Damn, that looks like just the ticket I need in my life right now" I said to myself. So after a thirty...- sinistertopiary

the cleanest tasting light you can get...
Yeah, exactly! But isn't that the old school way to light your clay pipe in the tavern? The website mentioned lighting from a candle, say. Seems like a good idea if you're going to use this thing.- sinistertopiary

My initial reaction was the same as cortezattic's. However, coincidentally enough, last night I was smoking Solani's 633, a delicate VaPer, in a volcano that's not thoroughly broken in, and I could taste the butane quite clearly. Suddenly beeline makes sense to me. However, it seems cumbersome...- sinistertopiary

VaPer
No need for apology! I had a nice chuckle. Thank you. I took cortezattic's personal observation and thought I'd give it a try myself. I've been smoking nothing but virginias since I got the 633. Maybe there's something to what Bob and cortezattic suggest. Yesterday I smoked Dark Star for the...- sinistertopiary

Welcome new members. Introduce yourselves.
Welcome! (and congrats on the son, pipegangster!) I, too, felt like I found a home when I discovered this site. Thanks, Kevin, for getting the site up (in case I haven't expressed my gratitude previously).- sinistertopiary

VaPer
I've heard that as well. But I don't believe my taste buds are dead yet. I smoke some very heavy latakia blends, that's true, but I also smoke and appreciate some straight virginia blends and can appreciate their nuances. So yesterday I purchased a tin of Solani's 633. (Why 633 and not some...- sinistertopiary

VaPer
Ok, what am I missing? Some smokers, like python, speak of VaPers in dulcet tones. I've tried a few, and I just don't get it. Maybe I'm not smoking the right ones, like Escudo, which has quite a rating. So I'd like to open the field up and ask those who love VaPers what they're getting that I'm...- sinistertopiary
