    New Vauen Pipe In-comming

    I have a Vauen 3108 Rhodesian that I bought when I was in Portland Oregon two summers ago: It came with the churchwarden and a short 1/2 bent stem. Most of the time I use the short stem. I never bothered with the filter. The pipe itself is a great smoker. It's one of my larger pipes, so I load...

    Having a (Non-Pipe Related) Conundrum; and Would Welcome Your Imput

    Only you can make this decision. Do some research about the company. Try to find someone who works there in a similar position and call them up and ask them which way the wind blows. Some companies have a lot of "pluses" on paper, but then you talk to the employees and they are all circulating...

    Tobacco Police

    Sensitive to smoke? Take up smoking and it's cure you right quick. Since I got my first pipe I've noticed my hay fever in the spring is a lot less severe. Coincidence? I think not! Thanks for posting the video. Simon

    Good from bad: The Den

    Very nice. Love the shelving with the pipe rack. I plan to do something similar myself someday. Got a few things in the honey do jar before that though. :-) Simon

    First smoke ever

    I almost gave the pipe up back in the day for the same reason. It was okay, but nothing amazing. Was it really worth shivering outside? (I took it up in January) Turned out that the tobacco recommended to me was mild, bland and uninteresting. After joining up here, I got my hands on some...

    Record-Breaking Readership of One-Million-Gazillion

    Know why Darth Vader's so grumpy? He can't smoke a pipe with the mask on. Congrats Kevin. Keep up the good work. And keep up the mind-expanding reading. Brian Greene's books can make my brain feel like it was stepped on, but the end result is worth it. Simon

    Found a great Edmonton Tobacconist, Pics Attached

    Wow. I've been in Edmonton a few times in the last few years, right downtown. I've considered stopping by this place but it's a fair walk and across the river. If I'd known it was that nice I would have made the effort. Thanks for posting, smokenscotch! While we're on the topic of Alberta, when...

    Blending question - Latakia and aromatics??

    Try a bowl at a time. Right now I've got a pipe loaded with a mix of 50/50 CAO Eileen's Dream and Mac Baren HH Vintage Syrian. Just loaded a pinch of one, a pinch of the other... repeat until full. This mix works for me. Each of the tobaccos on their own are a little "way out there" for me...

    Hard Proof That Pipe Smoking has Increased

    Ladies and gentlemen, let us remove our hats and lament the "lost generation" who threw the baby out with the bathwater and thus deprived themselves of an enjoyable pastime. Now, raise your glasses to salute the younger generation, who are rekindling the hobby, and to Kevin and everyone on the...

    Some Volcanoes I Would Jump Into

    One of my favourite pipes is my Brigham 484 volcano. I can't see affording one of those fancy-shmancy ones in the near future, but I can dream. :lol: Simon

    Pipe Smoking in Movies

    Anyone watched the new Tintin movie? I haven't seen it yet myself, but I was wondering if they included Captain Haddock smoking his pipe. I've been reading the Tintin books with my young daughter for the last few months and I wondered if they decided to whitewash the smoking, which is pervasive...

    McClelland Wilderness Pipe Tobacco Review

    A great review. Wilderness sounds up my alley. Of course, I have a very WIDE alley: it's more of an airport tarmac, really. But Wilderness sounds sweet. Simon

    My Re-entry Order(s)

    Welcome, Joel! Sounds like you're off to a good start. Myself, I smoke more aros than anything else, but I can't say I've tried the ones you've listed. Doesn't matter. Give 'em a try, smoke slow, and enjoy the experience. Simon

    December 2011 - What Are You Smoking?

    PS Black Currant Cavendish, in a Vauen 1/2 bent Rhodesian. Was a mighty fine if chilly walk with the Missus. Simon

    Spreading Interest In Pipe Smoking

    One of these days I'll have to try one of these… cigars, you call them? Like smoking pipe tobacco without the pipe? Outrageous. What will they think of next? Simon

    November, 2011 - What are you Smoking? II

    1/2 bowl of McClelland Colombian Mocha in my meerschaum Canadian. A fine way to ignore the fact that it's Monday. Simon

    November, 2011 - What are you Smoking? II

    Turned a bowl of 221B Arcadia into fluffy white ash. This is now my favorite tobacco for my Stanwell HCA churchwarden: burns cool and dry and doesn't require a ton of relights (a problem in the deep, narrow bowl that I can't see into when drawing). Had a fine bowl of Solani XSM the other eve...

    November, 2011 - What are you Smoking?

    Popped a new tin: McClelland Christmas Cheer 2011. I got it in an order from Pipes and Cigars a while ago and I managed to hold off until now. But 'tis the season, and all that. Broken flake, nice Christmas cake-y note in the tin. Rubbed it out into my meerschaum Canadian. Mild smoke...
