    Meerschaum vs Briar

    Hmmm... I'm only a week into my first meerschaum experience and have never tried a cob. But so far I am very happy with the quality of smoke I'm getting. I also smoked a Vauen briar this week which is the one in my collection that really ghosts at the drop of a hat. But then I love that about...

    Thoughts on Pipe Buying

    My condolences. As a lucky man with just such a woman, I hope for many more years with her by my side. But back on topic: I find that I buy more pipes than it strictly makes sense to. I mean, I'm not a frequent smoker, and I don't really identify myself as a man with PAD, but I see it as...

    Recommendations for a new smoker

    If you have some different blends at your disposal (like a sample pack), smoke a couple back-to-back. Like an aromatic (like Captain Black) followed by an English. Even the newbiest noob will be able to tell the difference. :) Try to learn a bit about the basic tobacco varieties and cuts. Then...

    My Local Tobacconist...

    Your wife should have played along: "Yep, it's gone bad all right. I'll take it off your hands and toss it in the trash on my way out. No, it's no bother. Yes, all five pounds of it. Thanks." :roll: Simon

    For Mr and Mrs Bob.

    Very nice. I like the stem on the poker. It really works with the shape of the stummel. (See? Look what I did! I used a word from Russ' latest column in a sentence!) Simon

    Mac Baren Blends

    I've got some Plumcake that's aging nicely. The one thing I've found with it is that you have to be careful with it. If I smoke too fast, it's a flamethrower on my tongue. But when I have taken my time it's been the source of some of my most enjoyable smokes ever. This morning was no exception...

    Meerschaums - Post your Pipe - I can't get rid of the Darn Things!!!

    Love all the pics, folks! :) I can only hope that someday my meer will have the sort of awesome coloring that smokindawg's has. Probably won't, but I can smoke, wax and dream. Simon

    Meerschaums - Post your Pipe - I can't get rid of the Darn Things!!!

    Happy, happy, joy, joy! :D I now join the ranks of proud meerschaum owners. Yesterday was my anniversary, and at breakfast my wife presented me with... some beeswax. When we went out for a nice dinner last night, we wandered to both of the downtown Victoria B & M's and chose this beauty...

    August 2011 - What are you Smoking? II

    Little late, but last night it was a bowl of McClelland Colombian Mocha in my... brand new meer. My first meer! WOOT! And it's a Canadian, so that's two things crossed off the bucket list. Simon

    outside vs inside

    Outside, and this is the best time of the year. The evenings are warm and dry. The sun's gone down and the stars are out. Perfect for just wandering around the back 40. Soon the rain and cold will come, and then I'll be moving to the garage, which is considered "outside" by the house rules...

    new to pipe smoking. need suggestions on pipe selection

    I'm with brewshooter. I came to a similar realization: It's not the pipe, it's the piper suckin' on the end. Practice makes perfect, so give yourself some time to learn the craft. Yes, there are bad / poorly made pipes, but even those can be fixed with a bit of time and a Dremel... I picked up...
