    May 2010 - What are you smoking?

    Jonesing: That's funny and very helpful. Apparently all of the bulk "house" tobaccos at my tobacconist are rebranded bulk McClellands! The descriptions on their web site are exactly word-for-word and some have the same name. I am in your debt, sir. Simon

    May 2010 - What are you smoking?

    Vanilla Cavendish "Saturday Night" blend from Goodfellas here in Victoria. Brigham #149. One of these days I'll try a cherry blend. Goodfellas has one: "House Tobacco Cherry Bomb - Three deliciously different cherry flavors -- refreshing Duke, fermented Maraschino and rich Kansas Sweet --...

    Free at last!

    I'm 37 and with a girl in kindergarten and a boy in diapers. Retirement? What's that? I gotta stay sane for another 25 years or so. Simon

    The Lady Smokes a Pipe

    Good article. With any luck it might be the first shot in the battle for some gender equality. Just as pipe-smoking men have the "distinguished older gentleman" image to deal with, women have it worse. It does beg the question: what effect (if any) does the style of pipe have on the femininity...

    Tobacconist's "Tubman": chocolate burley in my Stanwell HCA churchwarden.

    Bents or Straights?

    1/4 bent. Maybe I'll branch out someday.

    Absolutes of tobaccoreviews.com

    I've read a lot of reviews on TR, mostly out of curiosity. On the McCl ketchup question, when I opened my very first tin of McCl tobacco (FMOTT) my wife (who has not been to TR) said it smelled like hickory BBQ sauce. You all must have pretty fancy ketchup. Simon

    New Smoker Looking For Advice

    I'm not exactly the most experienced smoker around here, but I'll bite. You need a pipe, a pipe tool (tamper, pick, reamer), pipe cleaners and wooden matches. I know some of the folks around here smoke corncobs as well as or instead of briar, but I've just got briar. Corncobs are relatively...

    May 2010 - What are you smoking?

    Frog Morton on the town in my new Stanwell HCA churchwarden. It's an interesting experience. My first "English". My wife approved of the tin aroma, the room note, and even took a puff or two to try it out. Then she went and loaded up a 1/2 bowl of Colombian Mocha to compare the difference. She...

    I lost my mind

    Hey there guys, It's my birthday today and finally the day has come that I get my Stanwells HCA #6. It's been a long wait. It's given me time to think about the fact that this pipe does have a smaller diameter but deep bowl. Any tips on packing or smoking that will give me a better chance to get...

    They Like the Pipe Babes in Denmark

    I'm pretty sure the last bit is a translation of the terms and conditions for being a Pipe Babe. Had any new, interested Danish women? Simon

    May 2010 - What are you smoking?

    Vanilla cavendish in my rusticated Brigham apple. Tried out my new lighter and had to go back to matches. The thing was sold to me with barely enough butane to light three times. Will take it back and complain.

    May 2010 - What are you smoking?

    Interested in knowing what you think of the McClelland's Black Shag, Uncle. It's on my list of blends to try, right after 221B Arcadia. Simon

    McClelland D/C\'d tobaccos coming back

    As a representative of the forum members who are extremely sensitive to the power of suggestion, I'd like to announce that my TAD threat level is now "Red". Simon

    April 2010 - What Are You Smoking?

    Pipe Lounge

    I like that book. In fact, I just added it to my Amazon wish list. To have a room like that is just a dream at this point, but I like the tips in there. Food for thought.

    Putting my 2-3month pipe experience away.

    I did the same thing, back in 2005. I was new to it. Had no experience with smoking otherwise and I found myself always looking forward to the next bowl. Was it just anticipating the enjoyment of the bowl, or was it the Lady N calling to me? So I put it away for months. Eventually I brought it...

    Effectiveness of air purifiers?

    Thanks for the information, guys! We'll see what happens.

    Effectiveness of air purifiers?

    LOL. I'm with you there. Specifically, I'd like to prevent the room from smelling like stale smoke over time. I've got a window-insert fan so I could pursue that. jonesing's ozone machine is interesting. I followed the link and the whole thing with the cat boxes caught my eye. I could pick up...
