    Brebbia - Why Aren't They More Popular?

    Now why the heck does somebody always have to mention the sleeper brands? Let them sleep, my friend, and the good deals will be ours to enjoy!

    Howdy from Ireland

    Welcome, sir, and connoisseurship be damned. A man's tongue is his own.

    Peretti "Paint Cans" for long term storage

    Frankly, I would trust the cans more than anything relying on a gasket.

    Pipespotting

    Very rarely do I encounter one actually smoking, but I'm rather frequently approached by people who say they smoke or have quit smoking. I dont think it's that rare but most people probably are loathe to be seen with a pipe.

    I Just Lost My Virginity And F***ed It Up...

    You've done nothing wrong. Bet you didn't like your first sip of whiskey, either. It will click. You will get it. Do not worry, every one of us trod the path you're on!

    Just Accidentally Went To PiesMagazine.com

    That's ok. Looking for an article on meerschaum pipes, I googled "Slave white goddess" yesterday. Wow. It's a fallen world, boys.

    I Will Be Introducing a Cigar Guy To Pipe Smoking...

    You’re doing the right thing by trying. He might not take to it, but at least he gave it a whirl.

    Pipe Flavor Changing. Should I Ream?

    Give it a thorough clean first, but I’ve noted for my own preferences a good reaming can fix a pipe you know well but suddenly tastes different. It’s a go to fix.

    What are the Benefits to a Lovat Shape

    What is the benefit of a Lovat? It's bloody practical, that's what. Full size billiard bowl, enough shank so that smoke does not go up one's nose, supreme clenchability, can be stowed in a shirt pocket...why, it's the pipe of the outdoorsman. They're jaunty and useful, unlike yours truly...

    Bad Experience With Smoking Pipes

    Do you feel ripped off that you weren't able to rip them off?

    Are There Tobaccos You Consider Acquired Tastes?

    Not for me, sir. But then, I'm a dinosaur and, for the most part, I look for balanced blends. I don't want something where the perique plays merry hell with my tongue or there is so much latakia my throat is coated in creasote. I know instantly whether I like a tobacco. But it doesn't mean it...

    Erik Nording Compass Pipes

    Dont have the Nording, but I have a Dunhill Duke I'm fond of on the same principle. I wouldn't be afraid of trying it.

    Pipesmagazine.com Forum is Just Plain Fun!

    I'm all of those people. Does self awareness mitigate or magnify the transgressions? Except the liar, I hope. Just an Exagerator.
