    Any Guitar Players Amongst Us? I'd Like Your Opinion.

    I have an Art&Lutherier guitar. Made by the same company that makes SimonPatrick and I believe Seagull. Best sounding guitar that I have ever played. Solid Cedar top and cherry wood back and sides. I would choose the Seagull as you are guaranteed a quality sound. Yamaha is also not a bad guitar...

    Anyone Remember Royal Tivoli Tobacco?

    Hi, anyone remember Royal Tivoli Tobacco? Dad used to smoke it and as a kid I used to remember the tins with the fireworks going off atop Tivoli Gardens. Is there a modern day equivalent? I also want to try and get a hold of an old Tivoli tin sometime for nostalgia sake.

    New Proposed Bill Seeks to Eliminate Online Tobacco Sales

    It was mentioned here previously, but in Canada, especially in Nova Scotia, there is no longer any flavored tobacco. I tried to buy some Amphora, and found it was on the banned list. Very limited selection. I am using online suppliers currently as a pouch of tobacco is almost 40.00 at my local...

    Tamping?

    Thank you all for taking the time to explain. Much clearer now. I also understand the joy of acquiring. My wife asks why I need more pipes or more then one guitar.

    Tamping?

    Sorry, no sarcasm intended. I honestly have no idea what a tamper is used for. I love the Thoreau quote by the way.

    Tamping?

    I am just wondering what is tamping? I see great pictures of members with brass tampers, what are they used for? I am a simple man and just put the tobacco in the pipe bowl,push it down with my finger, light it and smoke it. Is there some other way I could be doing it?

    Returning to Pipe smoking

    Hi, Just fired up a briar pipe with Old Port and went on 4 Noggins and ordered Peter Stokkebye: AMSTERDAM PIPE TOBACCO And 4noggins Bulk: TEWKSBURY HOBBIT'S WEED MATCH. I ordered the Hobbit tobacco because I have a long stemmed Hobbit pipe and am a bit of a nerd for all things Tolkien. I like...

    Pipe Screens and filters.

    Thank you all for your information. I will continue to smoke the way I always have. Really enjoying the ability to communicate with other pipe smokers.

    Pipe Screens and filters.

    I have always just used my pipe and tobacco? What does a pipe screen do? Also, can I smoke a filtered pipe without a filter?

    Hello from Nova Scotia Canada

    Hello from Nova Scotia Canada. Dad was a longtime pipe smoker and I have about ten pipes in my collection so far. I have been smoking Peter Stokkabye tobacco when I could get it in bulk and Amphora otherwise. Pipe Tobacco is about forty dollars a pouch here, so it's hard sometimes to afford it...
