    Alternatives to Whiskey & Pipe

    I don't like liquor or beer with my tobacco. I dont like anything fizzy with it except fizzy water. Coffee black no sugar with burley or english and earl grey tea with Virginia are king overhere. VAPer I like water.

    What Pipe Would You Buy if You Had $200 to Spend?

    Bruno makes a great pipe! I have been eyeing a Twiggy for a while now.

    Smoking During Zoom Meetings...Camera Off

    So sad how the world becomes. I'm lucky I only get scrawny comments like "hey look it's popeye/captain haddock" or how much I look like a curmudgeon codger with a pipe in my mouth, even more than I'm without. I'll admit I won't do it when my manager joins the conversation, but with my coworkers...

    Smoking During Zoom Meetings...Camera Off

    I would have switched the camera on, you are in the comfort of your own home where it's no one's business what your doing. Today I had a Microsoft Teams meeting as most work from home, stuck the unlit pipe in my mouth (smoking in offices has the, figure of speech, death sentence) and no one...

    Buying American tobaccos in Europe?

    In my case you won't get a fine or tax bill, if it gets caught it will be destroyed as I have no license to import tobacco from outside the EU. Even from within the EU some shippers won't ship to the Netherlands. I have received some packages without a lot of problems from across the pond, but...

    The West Coast Pipe Show 2022 Is Back!!!!

    Thanks to Dave and Bryan for taking over such a endeavor for our relative small community! If I want to go I'll have to start a gofundme, only 1500 euros to get there and get back home haha...

    What's Your Profession?

    Last week was my first week at my new position. I can call myself Product Owner now, which is a fancy smancy word for talking to end users about desired specifications, talking to programmers and database administrators how the end user wants to collect and present data, test the end result with...

    Which Cigar?

    I'm a very very slow smoker, so don't take my word for it as I can take an hour for a petit and sometimes even half corona and might even take 1.5 hours on a robusto. I also think like @danimalia the Habanos brands have some sizes that are perfect short smokes like the HUHC, RASCC. Cigars like...

    Love That Brand

    My heaviest cellared tobacco are Macbarren produced tobaccos. Most blends I have to test for cellaring are Peter Heinrichs, after that DTM. I wont touch my cellar before I tried those blends as ill have a supply chain challenge after this year and have to cellar deep on what I like.

    Ribeye Steak and Roasted Tomatoes on the Primo!

    Depends on the meat, but I generally reverse sear when it's a cut like ribeye, chicken thighs or pork chops. For beef I prefer lower Temps and pork/chicken higher. I smoke indirect till the meat reaches a probe internal temperature. For the reverse sear I leave the lid off so the charcoal gets...

    Ribeye Steak and Roasted Tomatoes on the Primo!

    Looks delish! do you like your primo? A friend of mine has an (X)XL which he cookes several days a week on. Me with kids can't do that, but when they get bigger and aren't hungry straight when I get home and have to eat NOW! I will get a nice kamado or pellet smoker.

    Buying American tobaccos in Europe?

    You can't. US manufacturers do not supply or make tins which are fit for the EU market. I also think there are US members overhere that can confirm a lot of European manufacturers and blenders are quite on par or blend/produce better blends than the USA blends. The only downside I think European...

    Pipe Shapes/Styles I "Should" Try/Experience

    Though the question was about pipe shapes and a shape doesn't exclude any bowl dimensions (while for proportions it might seem interesting, a tall and narrow Prince shape is to be invented, but you catch my drift) I do also agree with this statement. I like ribbon cuts with 3 to 4 tobaccos in a...

    Cellaring tobacco - questions

    On point 1; I have had tobacco's which where "meh" when the tin freshly opened and smoked directly after a bit of drying. Those tobaccos really opened up when you open the tin, let it sit for 2 or 3 hours in the in while regularly mixing it a bit and then let it sit for 2 weeks before smoking...

    Pipe Shapes/Styles I "Should" Try/Experience

    As a relative noob my opinion might not be very valid, but a pipeshape doesn't change tobacco for me. Materials do very much.

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    My second go on a Peterson, ordered a Deluxe Classic Terracotta 150. The first Peterson i've got I couldn't agree with, but that one found a loving home instead of not being smoked.
