    OK, I Need Help Deciding on a Pipe...

    Another vote for the Diplomat. I own three, two straight and one bent. They smoke great, love 'em!

    What was your worst tasting tobacco?

    +1 Although I can be accused of "never smoked a tobacco I didn't like," Half & Half comes very close. It's the first blend I have ever smoked that half way through the bowl I actually contemplated dumping it. It's not dreadful, but it has an "off" taste that I just couldn't get into. I think...

    Pipes and Cigars spelled Customer First!

    You know, I've always found it amazing that internet retailers have better customer service than actual stores. You would think it would be the opposite since in an actual store your face to face with the person who has an issue. But it's been my experience over the last few that that's not...

    Preparing D&D Game

    Former 2nd Edition player here!! Many a night was spent in my youth, gathered around a table playing D&D. My friends nearly castrated me when I mentioned we should play the then new "Spelljammer" campaign (I thought it was kinda neat). :lol: I tried to get back into it about 10 years ago while...

    Opinions on Filtered VS. Non-Filtered Pipes

    Yikes! Sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed... 8O As for the OP's question. If its a Dr. Grabow, I take the paper filter and chuck it into the garbage. Those paper filters are worthless IMO. As for the few Savinellis I own. I do occasionally use the filter when I smoke...

    Really Nice Ebay Seller

    So YOU'RE the one who outbid me on that pipe rack!!! You lil'bastard! :nana: In all seriousness, thats a nice score! I've met some wonderful sellers on Ebay and thankfully I've met more of them than the bad ones.

    Question About Lane RLP-6

    RLP-6 and 1Q are both cheaper per ounce than Captain Black in either pouch or bulk form.

    Prince Albert is Sublime!

    I concur. If one chose only to smoke nothing but Prince Albert, it would not be wasted time. Good stuff for a supposedly "cheap" drug store blend.

    Question About Lane RLP-6

    I really hate to say this but in my opinion, RLP-6 is the Lane Limited Bulk code for Captain Black White and 1Q is the bulk code for Captain Black Royal. Again, totally my opinion only, but I think the reason why most people think they taste similar, but the bulk tastes better is because the...

    MacBaren Bulk Burley London Blend and PA

    I haven't tried London Blend yet but may I suggest you try the Mac Baren Golden Extra. The tin smells like pure chocolate and the smoke has that wonderfully sweet cocoa and nutty taste that's reminiscent of PA. I've been meaning to write a review of it as it is easily in my top 5 list of all...

    Pipes and Music

    On the other side of the coin are the ones you didn't intend to let go or ones you wish you hadn't. Although I was a bass player I liked to fiddle around with the six string now and again back in the day. One day I walked into a local pawnshop and they had a mint condition, American made Fender...

    Pipes and Music

    Played bass guitar for about 10 years but I kinda lost interest in it as I got older. I ended up selling the last bass I had about 7 years ago. I've thought about getting back into it though. A good friend of mine plays guitar but he also has an old Fender Jazz bass at his house that I fiddle...

    This Post is Regarding the Subject Line

    I agree with the vague subject lines in forums. While I do occasionally click on a cryptic subject, I'm usually disappointed by whats inside. Fellow Grammar Nazis unite! In all seriousness, this is a huge peeve of mine as well, ever since I started using the net. I always hear the same excuse...

    What do your friends and family think?

    My brother could care less. My dad thinks it's kinda neat, but I always have to hear some sort of word of warning from him whenever the subject comes up as in, "ohhh that smells good, just don't get addicted to it." :roll: But all in all hes good natured about it. My mom...hmmmmm. Lets just...

    October, 2011 - What are you Smoking?

    The tin of Penzance I ordered just came today so I am on my second bowl of it.

    For the hirsute amongst us

    I wish I could grow some manly facial hair like that. Alas, I have enough Native American blood from my fathers side that prevents me from growing anything but patchy, short whiskers. :crying:

    Indoor Smoking

    Indoors for me. All tobacco I've ever used from cigarettes to cigars to pipes always seemed to taste better indoors.

    Water or iced tea and occasionally hot tea. Not a coffee drinker and I rarely drink alcohol at home, I prefer going out to drink.
