    Classing Up My Cob

    So the first pipe I ever bought was a MM Legend. It was mostly due to the amount of money I had at the time. Anyway, I loved the smoke, but the aesthetics of the corn cob pipe just don't work for me. After some thought, I decided to head over to walker briar works and see if David Wolff...

    Why Do You Smoke a Pipe?

    No. 1: Reminds me of my father; nostalgia No. 2: In the rat race, I have to consciously have myself slow down and put on the breaks from time to time. A pipe helps me do that; relaxation. No. 3: I hated buying a nice cigar, and having nothing to show for it afterwards. A pipe makes the...

    Favorite Cob

    My first non-estate pipe was a Legend, but I didn't much care for it (mostly because of the plastic mouth piece). A few weeks ago I learned about Walker forever stems, and decided to give cobs another chance. Purchased a Country Gent and an acrylic "regal saddle" in the black rose coloration...

    Yes sir. Just placed a big (by my tobacco buying standards) order.

    How to Take Tobacco With You

    You leave a clause in your will so that in the event of your death, your tobacco and pipes will be stored in your tomb like the pharaohs of old. Or, if you want a viking funeral like I do. You have your loved ones load your boat with your tobacco so that when the fire consumes the vessel the...

    Are You a Right or a Left?

    I am right-handed, and I smoke on my left side. As stated above, I do the more dexterous activities with my right hand. Pipe feels wrong on the right side of my mouth.

    Getting Down With the Sickness

    Thanks for the well wishes. I've retired my pipes for a few weeks. Too bad too:I'm taking a trip to San Antonio this week. Ah well.

    Getting Down With the Sickness

    I felt like griping a bit. Many of you already know I'm a new pipe smoker. I just got in the mail a beautiful unsmoked Stanwell 2007 pipe of the year (straight Rhodesian smooth)along with some Mac Barens Navy Flake (will be my first time trying a flake). Unfortunately, just as it arrived I...

    Pipe Shapes You Love, Visually, But Don't Like to Smoke

    I honestly love some of the crazy shapes that come out of Italy. (Mario Grandi shapes come to mind). I just don't see myself ever buying one as I feel it would be impractical and a little silly.

    What Does Everyone Like to do While Smoking?

    I generally like to drive. Sometimes I just sit and watch the world go by.

    What's Your Dream Pipe?

    I think my tastes are a little simple, but I really want one of Boswell's Grizzlies or a giant Ardor. There are a ton of custom pipe makers I would love a pipe from though.

    Manufacturer's Seconds?

    I recently bought a Royal Guard, which I think is a Stanwell made second. I'm not talking about the branded Stanwell Royal guard line of pipes, but a house brand. (It has an "RG" stamp on the stem instead of the Stanwell "S"). It smokes wonderfully. I think many times these seconds tend to...

    The Bottom of the Bowl

    Bought a tin of MacBaren NAvy Flake. I'll see how it is!

    The Bottom of the Bowl

    Thanks for all of the advice guys. I've tried stirring the tobacco once it gets to the heel, and it has been better. Ill try some of your suggestions for tobacco as well Mike. Going to watch some more videos and practice mt techniques.

    The Bottom of the Bowl

    Oh yeah. I was wondering Mike if you might give me some suggestions for non-aros to try. I tried some mild English from a local tobacconist, as well as some Frog Morton on the Bayou and Dunhill Royal Yacht. Not sure if it was just the blends or what (i smoked them in a broken in pipe), but I...

    The Bottom of the Bowl

    Hey thanks Mike. Yeah I guess the Boswell blend I've been using isn't quite all the way dry. I switch to my tin of MacBaren Vanilla for a bit since it is more dry. Should I not have my Boswell tobacco in jars if it is too wet?

    The Bottom of the Bowl

    Thanks nsfisher, ill try that out. I was just cleaning all my pipes, and there was too much unburned tobacco in the ash tray afterwards. I definitely am a wet smoker. I cannot clench at all because my salivary glands are over active when I smoke, and I can gurgle any pipe.

    The Bottom of the Bowl

    Hey all, I wanted to ask our more experienced smokers for some advice. Recently, a lot of people have been talking about tobacco storage, and monitoring their consumption to decide how much they need to store. I have been taking a closer look at my use, and have determined I am wasting too much...
