    PS Black Currant Cavendish in my blue Venturi billiard. Lots to see in the night sky tonight. Simon

    Cuff Links for the Pipe Smoker.

    I like the first set, but I have no shirts that need cuff links. The working lighters just make me nervous. :-) Simon

    The Shining vs. The Exorcist

    Shining. But I'll point out that just like with 'baccy, everyone's tastes are different. I like that slow burn that Kubrick lights up that finishes strong. :) The little girls are like hitting that unexpected bit of perique mid-bowl. Simon

    I Got Chastised At Work For Smoking

    This might be slightly tangential to the original posting, but it speaks to the "problem" being solved by the cigarettes. Since all smoking is lumped together these days, I find that the "concessions" made to smokers are targeted directly at the cigarette smoker. Can't smoke inside, you're...

    Favorite Comic Strip Of All Time?

    Online comics are good. The Oatmeal comes to mind. However, since I know that there are some D & D fans on this site, I would be remiss if I didn't mention The Order of the Stick. Not nearly so close to my heart as Calvin and Hobbes, but I have read every one of the 840 OOTS strips. Simon

    Lightning Strikes Twice in Florida

    Congrats on the find! A couple of fine-looking pipes there. Hope they smoke as good as they look. Simon

    OH My GOD! THE SMELL!!!! Please Help

    Try some cigar blends, like Key Largo. See what happens. Good luck! Simon

    Favorite Comic Strip Of All Time?

    Calvin and Hobbes. You know how some English Lit majors walk around telling people how great Shakespeare was and how The Bard's work covered basically everything you needed to know ever? They were mistaken. It was Bill Watterson. “Who was the guy who first looked at a cow and said 'I think I’ll...

    What Are You Smoking? February II

    McClelland Christmas Cheer 2011 in my meerschaum Canadian. I love this blend... when I've got the time to take 'er slow. Happy IPSD! Simon

    Cartoon Caption Contest Sponsored by SmokingPipes.com

    Submitted an entry. Was fun to sit and think laterally for a while! If I didn't have to get working it might have been a two-pipe problem to consider. Simon

    Might have to Quit

    I've previously worked for two companies that no longer exist. In both cases, the evidence was there that the management was having trouble coping with change and were using Dilbert comics as their template for working things out. :-D I stayed for a while, but when new opportunities arose, I...

    Holy Smokes I'm A Senior Member!

    Congratulations, spyder71! It's a great day in a man's life, no doubt. Right up there with shaving for the first time. :-D Simon

    New to the pipe scene

    Agreed on the dublinesque shape of the churchwarden in that video. Best bet is to drop by all the tobacconist shops that are close to you and see if you can spot something you like. Or visit the website of any or all of the sponsors of this site and see if they offer what you're looking for...

    To shave or not to shave, that is the question

    I've had a short goatee or a beard basically since I was about 20. I shave it off every once in a while to see what my face looks like without it, but always regret it. I'm with lordofthepiperings on the Movember thing. I took part for the first time last year and it was a hoot. But to get back...

    A few tips on Aromatics

    Keep on trying. As your experience grows, you'll be able to pick out more subtleties in the flavour. Smoke slow (even if you are risking your pipe going out - not the end of the world!) because that's when you get the most flavour. Even among aromatics, there is a huge variation in the balance...

    What Are You Smoking? Happy New Year 2012! II

    Local B&M Nightmare

    I don't even know why some of the places around here are allowed to call themselves tobacconists. Yes, there's a display case of cigarettes (now closed so the kids can't see 'em), but the bulk of the stores are newspapers, magazines and candy. Thank goodness there are some real tobacconists...

    Go to tobacco comapny?

    What's available. In my case, my B & M stocks a lot of McClelland. Lucky for me, I love their stuff. Being a hobbyist with a definite penchant for sampling a wide variety of tobaccos though, I have and will continue to sample the wares of every blender I can. Simon
