    To inhale? Or not to inhale? That is the question??

    My only inhalations are accidental. Usually when I'm doing something else like yardwork or handiwork and not paying attention. I don't like the feeling, and it doesn't add anything to the experience. I've never been a cigarette smoker, and if anything I'm trying to avoid the N. Simon

    Oh $&!? My pants

    Most of my "ow, ow, ow!" moments have come via my matches, and not the ember itself. One time I burnt a little hole in the tip of my index finger. It was a cool night with a bit of a breeze. I was having some trouble getting the pipe lit because the match was going out. On the second to last...

    How much do you smoke?

    Two per week, thereabouts. Real life doesn't provide me with a lot of opportunities.

    What computer are you posting with?

    Right now, I'm giving my wife's new iPad a try. Most of the time I post from my iPod Touch or from my ancient Powerbook. Simon

    Pipe Of The Month Club

    You eat at restaurants, don't you? Lotsa people put those forks in their mouths. :-) As long as the pipe is cleaned, but then it becomes a lot of work. Simon

    Should you or would you name that pipe?Help,I\'m being pressured.

    I've tried naming things from time to time. Computers, motorcycles, typewriters... children. They never stick. You call 'em what you call 'em. That having been said... If your significant other thinks you should do it, and it doesn't hurt anybody... what's the harm? We won't judge you...

    Good bulk blend for sharing.

    I've got my humidor jar of 1Q ready for the unlikely event that such things take place... but what's the polite way to offer a smoke to a non-pipe smoker? "May I offer you a bowl of 1Q?" "I don't have a pipe, you idiot." Is the solution to keep a few pristine cobs around? A few restored estate...

    If walls could talk and want to squawk.

    I dunno. Since my rotation is so slow, I sometimes wonder if some of my stash will go bad before I get around to smoking it. Right now I've got FMOTT holding down the "latakia" spot in my rotation. Maybe I'll wait until it's finished, or maybe I won't. It's only getting mellower while I...

    Photos of Your Local B&M.

    Here's where I go, locally: Goodfellas Cigar Shop. Good selection of bulk and tinned tobaccos and pipes. This is a link on their website which has a shot of the inside of the store: Photo @pstlpkr: I so want to visit the Briary now. Too bad it's exactly 2,674 miles' drive from here. Simon

    If walls could talk and want to squawk.

    Two bowls per week, unless exceptional circumstances (like today's weather) intervene. I've got five pipes and seven blends that I rotate through, the choice for any one night depends on my mood. Mostly aromatics, with Frog Morton OTT thrown in for the times I want something with Latakia. I...

    September 2010 - What are you smoking?

    McClelland Colombian Mocha bulk in my Brigham rusticated apple followed up by Blue Note in my Vauen Rhodesian. The mocha disappeared so quickly and it's such a nice day for sitting and working with the laptop of the back step that it seemed a shame not to have a follow-up. :-) As I normally...

    Percentage thoughts.

    Ooh... that's a tough one. I would say that I'm 85% tobacco and 15% pipe, if only because I've got a stable of pipes that I'm happy with. So many different tobaccos, so little time. Simon

    CAO Eileen's Dream

    I picked up a tin of Eileen's Dream when I was in Portland a few weeks ago. I stopped in at 82nd Ave Tobacco and Pipe and picked up a few blends that I'd been dying to try. The description of the blend really had me curious. So far I've only had a couple of bowls (my rotation is really, really...

    Online Ordering and Favorites

    So far, I've made all of my purchases "in person" from the various brick and mortar stores that I've run across. It's fun to visit these places, and nothing really smells as good as a good tobacconist. However, I may have to make an Internet purchase in the future. You see, when I was in San...

    August 2010 - What are you smoking?

    It's a 1Q sorta night... in my case in my 1/2 bent Dr. Grabow Omega. Working in the garage, putting together my new compound miter saw, and christening it making a display rack for my daughter's karate belts. Can't tell you much about the smoke, since I was concentrating on the woodworking...

    Welcome New Members. Introduce Yourself. (2)

    Congrats on passing 1776, Lawrence! Shouldn't you send a declaration of independence to Kevin at this point? :-) A warm welcome to all the new members. Remember, we all are interested in hearing your stories and your experiences with new (and old) tobaccos. There's no way any one of us can try...

    August 2010 - What are you smoking?

    Har dee har har. :-D It was a real workout. An hour and a half of katas, getting tossed around and other drills. But as with anything else in life, it was easy, you wouldn't appreciate it as much. Mmm... that Eileen's Dream this morning... I wish I had another bowl of it right now! Simon

    The Meerschaum Pipe Experience by Fred

    Thanks for the article, Fred! Another step closer to working up the gumption to find a quality meer. My B and M has some in stock, but I don't know the quality. Simon

    August 2010 - What are you smoking?

    CAO Eileen's Dream in my Vauen rhodesian. Passed my orange belt exam in karate last night and wanted a smoke to savor, but I was home too late. So I'm taking the time this morning. Simon
