    NYC Mayor Proposing Law to "Conceal" Tobacco Products in Stores

    Good ole' Mike Bloomberg. That guy is a nut. From banning sugary drinks, to his anti-firearms views, and now this. Kinda glad I don't live in NYC. Last time I was there a pack of cigarettes (Newports) was $12.

    $50 Pipe vs. $1000 Pipe

    I struggled with that question myself. Perhaps not so much regarding why a pipe would be $30 v. $200, but why someone would pay $1500 for one. And now that I know the answer it's not so easy to describe, at least in writing. I found the answer when I won my Von Erck at an auction (A carver...

    If You Also Smoke Cigs, What Do You Smoke?

    When I did I was a sucker for Camel Turkish Royals. Lots of flavor and smooth as velvet. I also enjoyed American Spirit Blues and Marlboro Blend 27.

    New Member Here from Michigan (Meerschaum Pipe Pics Included)

    Welcome from the UP! I'm in Marquette, I'm originally from Holland about 15 min west of Grand Rapids. If you're ever in the UP Bookworld is a decent place for aeros and a decent selection of Savinelli and Uhle's pipes. The manager, Lee is a friend and loves discussing tobacco. Welcome again!

    There's Nothing Better

    I know that feel, bro! I don't get it enough lately. There really is nothing better than turning in for the evening with your favorite chunk of briar.

    Is There a Thing as Too Many Pipes?

    I don't think any number is too many provided you're being responsible in other aspects of your life. For me, as long as my bills are paid, my debts are being paid off, and there's healthy food in the house, my fiance and I don't care how many pipes I collect with my "mad money". I currently...

    My New Lee Von Erck Classic!

    I honestly never though I would see the day when I'd own a Von Erck. I leant a hand at the UP 200, a dogsled race held annually here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. They held a silent auction to raise money for the mushers, among the items was this beauty. It was carved just to be auctioned to...

    Does Rosetta Stone work?

    I'm curious about it myself. I took Spanish from 5th grade up to 11th, and while in my senior year of High School I was a Teacher's Assist in our school's second level course. I've forgotten lots of hat I have learned simply by living in a rural area with little Spanish speaking peoples. If I...

    Pipe Smoking and My Girlfriend

    My fiance didn't like it much at first either, but when she saw me enjoying something, talking to folks on here, building friendships, a spending so little on a hobby she was all for it. Do what you wanna do, within reasons, and she'll come around. If not who cares!

    Taking a Rest

    I've been resting for a while purely because I have not had the time to smoke. Our staff got cut at work and I have harder classes this semester at school, so more work and more homework. Woo doggy.
