    March 2011 - What are you smoking?

    Last night in Palm Springs. Sitting on the balcony of my hotel room, with my Brigham bulldog packed with 1-Q. Simon

    Making it Real

    Thank heavens for PM.com. Otherwise I'd be setting up stuffed animals with pipes like my daughter's "tea parties"! Ah, I see you're smoking a virginia flake tonight, Mr. Bunny. An excellent choice. Teddy and I are leaning towards Balkans tonight… :D Simon

    March 2011 - What are you smoking?

    1Q in a Brigham 1/4 bent bulldog. Wandering around Sidney BC. Have an early flight tomorrow so I am staying at a hotel near the airport tonight. Beautiful evening with a razor-thin crescent moon. Simon

    First PAD trigger for 2011-- whats yours?

    @shotokun16: The Brighams arrived in really good shape: reamed down to the wood. I ran a couple of alcohol-soaked pipe cleaners through and that was it. I would really like to know how they got them so clean. Not even a whiff of old tobacco when I unboxed them. Unlike the Grabows I picked up...

    Birthday surprise from the family

    Many happy returns. Sounds like you've got it good. Let us know how they smoke up! Simon

    March 2011 - What are you smoking?

    @Cortez: :lol: My collection of Brighams now numbers five: 1/8 bent apple, 1/2 bent volcano, straight Dublin sitter, and two 1/4 bent bulldogs. I'm in Canadian heaven*. Simon * Includes nightly Rush concerts with backstage passes, wallet-size Shania photos, free health care and a jug of maple...

    March 2011 - What are you smoking?

    Dan Blue Note in my second Brigham 3-pin bent bulldog. Was a fine smoke and I love these new pipes. I think I'm beginning to understand Cortez' bulldog fascination... Simon

    Lack of taste buds

    Patience, grasshopper. First you must master the slow smoke. Then and only then will you have the nuances wash over you. Or go nuts and enjoy whatever gets stuffed in your bowl. If you're happy, you're winning. Puff away, puff away. Simon

    Newbie Modest collection

    Nice pipes! They all have a good unique look to them, especially the last one. Simon

    My discussion with a B&M owner.

    Good luck! You never know where you'll find opportunities. A friend of mine who wears kilts all the time got to know a fellow who runs a kiltmaking shop, and now he's working full time making kilts himself at the shop and learning how to make hand-sewn ones. Apparently there's big demand and...

    New Members, Introduce Yourself!

    Welcome Amy! There are some members of the female persuasion on the board. Unfortunately, they are not as common as I'd like. Perhaps it reflects the demographics of pipe smokers. Certainly everybody here is friendly and makes sure that all new members feel welcome, no matter what. There are a...

    First PAD trigger for 2011-- whats yours?

    Welcome back, shotokun16! That's a sweet looking pipe, I hope it works well for you. My first pipe of 2011 was three: a lot of three estate Brighams off eBay. Somehow or other, I got it in my head that I'd like to collect Brighams. A rusticated apple Brigham was my first pipe, and now I have...

    Pipe Smoking Chap- a hilarious video

    Jeez. He put practically a full tin into that bowl. Even the mightiest stashes would evaporate if you did that regularly... Simon

    February 2011 - What are you smoking? II

    1Q as the inaugural smoke in my new (to me) Brigham 1/4 bent bulldog. I got two of them in my eBay win, one light and one dark. This one's the blonde. Simon

    Student and professor pipe smokers say they love it all

    Great article. Thanks for posting a link. I can't say that I've ever experienced a quality pipe smoking culture like that other than here and in books, but I can dream. Simon

    Mixing It Up?

    If you've got a couple of blends that aren't working for you, what have you got to lose? Alternately, if there's something you like the taste of, but maybe it's too sweet / whatever, try mixing in some bulk blending burley or similar. I was doing that for a while, with McClelland's Vanilla...

    February 2011 - What are you smoking? II

    Solani X Sweet Mystery in my Brigham volcano. DGT to the extreme... I packed the bowl last night. Couldn't get outside to smoke it, so just bummed around with the pipe in my mouth. This afternoon I did the charring light and smoked about 1/4 bowl, now I've put the rest aside for later. Got too...
