    Getting RLP-6 and 1Q to Smoke Better

    So, I have been smoking Lane 1Q and RLP-6 for sometime now, but I can not get it to smoke as well as Carter Hall and Captain Black White from the pouch. I can not figure out if I should let it dry more or try to smoke it to wetter. Any suggestions? By the way, I sometimes get a great smoke from...

    Thanks to You I Got to Be a Superstar

    I am by no means an expert, but at least I have graduated from the Newbie level.

    Thanks to You I Got to Be a Superstar

    I really wish I would have taken a pipe with me so I could have shown them what I was talking about. Hopefully we are going to get together to have a pipe night.

    What Kinds of Tobacco Should I Try?

    The great thing is that at only 19 you have plenty of time to try out all of these blends. You can possibly look forward to sixty plus years of being a bowl burner of baccy.

    Thanks to You I Got to Be a Superstar

    Friday night I was at a end of the school year party, I work for the local school district, and as we guys were talking the subject got around to cigars and pipes. As the guys talked cigars I could not add much to the discussion, but when it turned to pipes it was my time to shine. I was able to...

    Had a Friendly Argument With an Old Friend About Pipe Smoking

    Here is my one and only explanation I give to people when they question any of my activities: "Because I enjoy it!"

    Half And Half Ain't Half Bad

    As I had stated in another post, I recently tried Carter Hall and found it to be quite a decent smoke. After that I bought some Prince Albert, and while I mostly enjoy the taste, I get a weird creosote taste by the end of the bowl. Now I guess I need to add Half and Half to the mix to see if I...

    Mr. Brog's Great Customer Service

    You can tell that the Mr. Brog employes are not native english speakers, of course this makes sense being that it is a polish company. However, for me, some of the wording in the descriptions is part of what makes Mr. Brog special.

    Mr. Brog's Great Customer Service

    I hope you enjoy the churchwardens. I have at least one of those on my to buy list, well after I get a scoot and billiard from the Brog. Please let us know how well they smoke.

    Mr. Brog's Great Customer Service

    I had won a new Mr. Brog pipe on Ebay. Well it come in the mail yesterday but with to many flaws to ignore. The coating inside the bowl was not smooth, the bit did not fit properly and the hole was way off center. I was greatly disappointed; however, after exchanging a few messages with Mr. Brog...

    50/50 Carter Hall and Lane 1Q mix

    I smoked my first bowls of Carter Hall tonight. I can see how this might add something to 1Q I am going to have to give this a try. Thank you for the suggestion and report.

    Codger Burley Equals Now I Understand

    Tonight on a whim I bought a box of Carter Hall. After smoking two bowls I can see why these OTC burley blends are/where so popular, and also why people would not care for them. On the one hand, I enjoyed the smoke. It was simple and straightforward. On the other hand, there was not a lot of...

    Congratulations Tony Kanaan - A Touching Story

    It was an exciting race to watch and I am glad that TK won; however, I wish that the race would have finished under the green flag. It would have been an even better win for him. I do hope that he is able to fly home to see his boy as he promised him he would do if he ever one the Indy 500. I...

    Why is Captain Black So Expensive in My Local Area

    After reading what others in different parts of the world have to pay I do not believe I will feel sorry for myself with prices of tobacco here in Oregon. On the other hand, I will not stop complaining.

    Pipe Dreams (Or Nightmares)

    I have had many weird dreams, and even one about a pipe. My pipe dream/nightmare had to do with a pipe that I had ordered not ever coming to my house no matter how hard I tried to catch the mailman. The mind is a strange beast.

    Nicotine Overdose!

    Nicotine, if I am not mistaken, does raise blood sugar levels because it causes the body to use sugars. If, however, you do not have enough I believe it can cause you to have sudden low blood sugar situation. Kind of like what rapidly goes up has the potential to rapidly go down. At least this...

    Why is Captain Black So Expensive in My Local Area

    I assumed, of course taking the associated and natural risk inherent in assuming, that Oregon charged a state tax based on the weight of the the pipe tobacco and not the retail value of it. That would explain the differences in prices of the tobacco.
