    April 2011 - What are you smoking?

    McClelland raspberries and cream bulk in my Brigham volcano. Been meaning to hit this combo for three days but this was the first opportunity. Roll on summer! Simon

    Athletes or Occasional Gym warriors who smoke

    I do 3 to 4 martial arts workouts per week. Which is more workouts than I smoke bowls per week... I don't inhale, so I wouldn't expect a problem with the lungs. If I'm laboring in the class, I chalk it up to being almost 40, well over 200 pounds and playing with the younger kids. :wink: If I...

    Senior Prom

    I missed the junior prom, made the senior. Went with a girl I'd been dating for a few months already. Wrist flower thingy. Suit. Freshly washed and detailed car (after all, I was picking her up). She looked like a million bucks and had spent the afternoon at the hairdresser. I guess by the...

    Ontario Pipe Smokers - BILL 176 Attacks Pipe Tobacco

    Augh. I'm in British Columbia, not Ontario. What can I do? Simon

    New Members, Introduce Yourself!

    Welcome Jimmy! There seems to have been a large number of new members from the other side of the Atlantic lately. Looking forward to hearing about the experience across the pond... across the pond... say, that rings a bell. Gotta go get a tin of FMATP. That Pavlov guy was really on to...

    April 2011 - What are you smoking?

    I couldn't stop at one tonight. McClelland Colombian Mocha in the blonde Brigham bulldog. Simon

    April 2011 - What are you smoking?

    Solani X Sweet Mystery in my brunette Brihham 1/4 bent bulldog. The night's miserable and the garage is freezing, but the smoke is divine. Simon

    Mac Baren Plumcake Navy Blend

    Very well written. I have had varying success myself with Plumcake: I have to slow right down and then it's a phenomenal smoke. Thanks for reviewing it! Simon

    New Members, Introduce Yourself!

    Welcome back Sapo! And welcome to the whole avalanche of new members in the last little while! Glad to have lots of faces around, old and new. Simon

    My New Pipe Rack

    Nice rack! Looks like you're already low on space for the mason jars. Either smoke faster or you'll need another rack soon. We've had the I Like Knockers thread. Now we need the "NICE RACK!" thread. Simon

    Smoking a pipe vs cigarettes or cigars

    Pipes only, here. I've never really been interested in cigars or cigarettes, and right or wrong I believe that cigarettes are much harder on your health in general and lungs in particular. Cigarettes' popularity is definitely based on convenience and likely to stay that way, as society makes it...

    April 2011 - What are you smoking?

    Dan Blue Note in my Stanwell HCA churchwarden. @jcsnaps: good one! :clap: Simon

    March 2011 - What are you smoking? II

    Lane MV-1000 in my brunette Brigham 1/4 bent bulldog. The wife loves the "moustache note" of this one. :-) Simon

    Mac Baren

    I've never seen a tin of Honey and Chocolate in any B & M I've frequented, but if I did, I would pick it up. There's a decent video review of it on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWe93Psntpk Simon

    What brings the flavor out?

    It's also about slowing down. Puffing too hard means the temperatures are too high in the ember and the tastes you want to "release" are getting charred instead. IMHO. I have a busy life that does not permit me a lot of time to sit and smoke (hence the small number of bowls per week), but I do...

    Show Us Your Tobacco Stash

    @wageman: when I saw that, I muttered "Can you imagine?" and then promptly answered myself: "No, no I can't.". I literally cannot imagine having a stash that big. Simon

    March 2011 - What are you smoking? II

    McClelland Raspberries & Cream (known as "Chambord" at my B & M) in my blonde Brigham 1/4 bent bulldog. Early morning, pondering life before the family gets up. @Mr. Ben: nice to see another Solani XSM fan! Do you "cut" it with burley to tone it down a bit? Simon

    The Mystery of Balkan Blends

    Hey, I commented on the article before coming here... when can I expect the $100, Kevin? :lol: I didn't have any trouble with the captcha. A great article. I loved it. There's a certain mystique about balkan blends, bringing to mind a different age. Great work in polling the "experts". Did...

    New Members, Introduce Yourself!

    Welcome titanicexplorer... can I call you "titanic" for short? :) A reminder to you and all the newbies to stop by the Explain Your Screen Name thread on the forum. I'm sure yours is interesting. Simon

    Pipe Babes

    8O Oh, man. That's gotta hurt. It's very near the top of the list. Judging from the positive reactions and recommendations for the blend around here, it's not a hard sell. Now if they were brought to you by "Grandma Flamethrower's Special Cherry Floorsweepings", I'd say "Thanks for the...
