    Cold Beverages Burning!

    Actually, I am smoking a lot of VaPers (including Russ' own delicious Viprati). Wonder if it's the hotness from the sweet Virginia combined with the Perique spice that may be affecting my tongue?

    Cold Beverages Burning!

    Whenever I take a sip of any cold beverage whilst smoking, it burns my mouth like crazy! But a room-temperature drink does not do this, and I've never had any issues with tongue bite in general. Is this normal? I see posts of people all the time enjoying iced tea, beers, etc. with their pipe...

    Va-Pers

    Hearth & Home's Viprati. Rich, bloody, and delicious. For me, it's like the Cabernet Sauvignon of tobaccos.

    Coming Out of the Piper Closet!

    When I began pipe smoking, I simply told friends that I "decided to take up a new vice". Older folks reacted very positively; often recounting memories of the smell of their grandfather's pipe. Younger folks reacted with more curiosity and questions about how it all works. So far, no...

    Recent Memorable Smokes

    Two memorable smokes: one great, one unpleasant. The good: tried my first VaPer and I'm in love (Hearth & Home's Viprati). To my palate, it alternated between deep, bright, and bloody-tasting. The Cabernet Sauvignon of tobacco, and totally intoxicating. Definitely a step up in quality from what...

    How Often Do You Smoke?

    A bowl every other evening. Occasionally two days in a row when (like now) I've got a few new tobaccos that I'm itching to try.

    Long Time Lurker, First Time Poster

    Welcome from fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada! I concur. A highly underrated form of uniquely intense relaxation. I was reading the Wikipedia entry on the history of tobacco recently, and was struck that at no point did they mention the relaxing effects of tobacco. No media ever seems to mention the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2021?***

    Hearth & Home Viprati out of a MM Washington cob. My first VaPer, and... oh my. This is delightful!

    Tobacco and High Temps

    Disaster averted! Order arrived in time. Still gonna go with Smokingpipes from here on out. Their estate collection is veeeeery tempting as well... Still curious about temperatures as they relate to cellaring, if anyone has any insight. I know to keep jars out of sunlight, but when I think of a...

    Tobacco and High Temps

    So I'm waiting on a delayed order from Pipes and Cigars (absolute last time I order from there...) and there's a chance it may not even reach me prior to me going on a trip. The order is a mixture of tins, pouches, and bulk. If it gets left in my metal mailbox to bake in the triple-digit Mojave...

    What Tastes Better in a Briar?

    I have one briar pipe, and a cob on the way to me in the mail. I've enjoyed smoking my briar just fine thus far, but naturally I'm also curious to try a cob. And I keep reading some variant on the phrase "[blank] smokes/tastes better in a cob". Virginias tastes better in a cob, burleys smoke...

    West Coast Pipe Show 2021 Discussion

    This is unfortunate. As others have said, their reasoning makes little sense. No one here in Vegas is policing anything with regard to mask wearing or vaccination status. Events and venues look just like 2019 here. I know nothing about the organizer of this event, nor what part of the country...

    Hello from Quebec, Canada!

    Bienvenue de Las Vegas! Montreal is one of the most lovely cities I've ever visited, and I still hope to visit Quebec City one day as well.
