    Purchasing A Meerschaum

    I bought a cheaper meer as the first one just to taste the difference. Was a car smoker of .7 oz that was great for clenching. I second cigrmaster on the stems. I mean for the price your basically paying for a carved meer block of X size. Meers to me smoke cleaner, more precise. Not always a...

    How Do Y'all Dedicate?

    I'm along the lines of Hoosierpipeguy. I have dedicated Virginia smokers of all bowl sizes. I used to believe the best Virginia smokes came out of narrow bowls; and while true, I've had amazing smokes in wide, short, and in-between bowls. A variety of pipe and bowl dimensions provide different...

    Lemonade Iced Tea Not A Good Pairing

    Thats odd, I had a similar experience today but with the Pure Leaf Lemon Tea and D&S Trafalgar. Ive been smoking that the last couple of days with no issues but today got a random ashy taste mid bowl. Seemed too that it took awhile for the flavors to get right. Maybe the lemon they...

    Drucquer & Sons Inns of Court Tobacco Review

    Nice review... I've recently been smoking this mixture after opening a tin from 2018. Normally a Virginia smoker that ventures into other things occasionally. I cant testify as to the "old school" nature of this blend as to me basically everything has been done before and is just reimagined...

    Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake

    Agreed with all things stated here...to me it seems your tastes are honed to moderately cased tobacco's. The realm of Virginia's is subtle but varying to refined degree. You've got to spend quality time with them before they display there value, but when you develop that palate(if you can) they...

    Norman Rockwell Portrait Burley Blend

    Hello all!I recently picked up this blend and I can't find any info or reviews on it. It seems fairly new and was just wondering if anyone else has tried it and what their thoughts might be. I'm not really a burley smoker but it's pretty good to me. Wonderful tin aroma and I get some cocoa and...

    Smoking in the Car

    I use lightweight pipes for easy clenching and pack my bowls before I get to driving. Kind of a must since I drive a stick, my only complaints are the smoke tends to get in my eyes so sunglasses are preferred. I've had some very memorable smokes in my car and its the only consistent time I can...

    Smoking in the Car

    Love smoking in my car. Heavy traffic sucks and lighting up a delicious bowl gets my mind off dumb traffic and relaxes me. Driving becomes second nature and smoking grabs most of my attention.

    Still Have Your First Pipe? Why or Why Not?

    My first pipe was stolen! Still bitter about that, it was a nice Ashton 3/4 bent billard. Stolen out of my barracks room while away for duty. Worse part I didnt even have a roommate. Someone had a key to get in.smh

    What's Your Car Pipe?

    I keep 2 Peterson full bents under 1.3 oz for solid clenching and a petite meershaum under 1.0 oz. I tote around about 6 to 8 blends too, it all fits in a shoe box for ease of transport and moving inside my car.

    When Will The Government Take Your Pipe?

    It kills me to think that this is even a possibility...those same proponents to kill tobacco are probably addicted to prescription drugs or alcohol, but quite Franklin I've lost most of my faith in the mind of the masses...I bet big foot would totally smoke a pipe.

    How to Prevent Nausea While Smoking?

    I would focus on the smoking cadence and just have sweet tea, coffee, soda, anything to drink and replace the sugar. Very odd though, I used to smoke cigarettes, still smoke cigars and all kinds of pipe tobacco. I only get nauseated with high nicotine blends...I just grab something with sugar...
