    Tobacco shipped to Canada

    At the rate I smoke, the extortionate prices that get charged here due to taxes don't really bug me that much, but if I were smoking bowls per day I would no doubt feel passionate about it. For me the biggest problem is that if I want to try a blend and none of my local tobacconists stock it...

    Very last tobacco.

    Something flavored with black currant. Either Stokkebye's or Solani X Sweet Mystery. It's a flavor that tickles the same reptilian part of my brain as redheads do. Simon

    Happy Hollows Eve.....

    Happy Halloween! Hardly had any kids come to the door trick-or-treating. Now I've got a huge stash... unfortunately it's candy, not pipe tobacco! Simon

    October 2010 - What are you smoking?

    Lane MV-1000 in my Vauen 1/2 bent rhodesian. Tried to find time in the chaos of the afternoon, but couldn't do it. I'll finish the bowl later. Was delicious while it lasted. Simon

    Welcome New Meerschaum Pipes Advertiser

    Oh no! A meer is the last real empty hole in my no-so-grand vision of my pipe collection. Lead me not into temptation, for I can find it myself! Welcome, Ahmet. Simon

    Collecting Pipes –' To smoke or not to smoke?'

    Amazing. To each their own. I fall into the "smoke 'em" camp, but with 400 that would probably become somewhat impractical. Everyone is probably familiar with this work of art: If you have a pipe, and it's never smoked, is it still a pipe? Simon

    My neighbor smokes a pipe

    Maybe if pipe smoking does make a comeback via sites like this one, we'll have more stories like this to share. I've got a neighbour who smokes cigs... maybe I'll work on him. Simon

    Different pipes for different smokes

    I suppose it depends on the subtlety of the blends in question. Some of the fellows around here are managing to describe the moment-to-moment changes in flavor as they smoke a bowl of Dorchester (ohin3, I'm looking in YOUR direction!). I can imagine that trying to do that in a pipe that's had...

    A Great Laugh

    Heh. Good story. Sometimes you just can get surprised by the world, and you can surprise the world right back. Good comeback on the bartender's comment. Brilliant. Simon

    October 2010 - What are you smoking?

    Round two of Frog on the Town in my Brigham. Weather's less wooly today, was much more pleasant. Simon

    October 2010 - What are you smoking?

    Frog Morton on the Town in my trusty Brigham 1/4 bent apple. With the change in the weather and being out of town without a pipe fir most of last week, it's been eight days since my last bowl. Sitting under the radiant heat in my garage. Simon

    Joining NaNoWriMo this year

    I'm doing my third NaNo this year. So I'll be going somewhat quieter for the month. I look forward to November like kids look forward to Christmas, except mine is 30 days long. Simon

    Blends That Ghost A Pipe

    I imagine any blend that is heavily flavored one way or another would do it. That's why you might dedicate a pipe to that blend... so that someday in the future when my pipes show up on eBay2050, some other poor sucker will say: "LOL luzr drools pipe w/blk currant LOL !!111!!"* Simon * Unless I...

    October 2010 - What are you smoking?

    CAO Eileen's Dream in my Vauen 1/2 bent rhodesian. It was sublime from opening the jar to the end. First bowl since Sunday. Simon

    Did you know?

    @cortezattic I also thought you were full of it on that one, so I pulled out the calculator, too. That really blew me away. Simon
