    Fireplaces and Wood Burning Stoves

    Lopi wood burner in our 115 year old VT one room schoolhouse conversion... Love it! Nothing better or more comforting than a wood fire - be it stove, fireplace, or outdoor pit...

    The Subtle Joy Of Tampers

    I have a few in different scales, and one of them is in my pocket at all times (Case Peanut). The non-opening end makes a wonderful tamper, and either blade is a perfect pick or bowl scraper. I’m also a fan of the lowly golf tee (especially when smoking a cob), or a plain ‘ole roofing nail...

    Hellllooooo from the chicago burbs!!!

    Welcome! Sister & Bro in law spent a few years in Lincoln Park - my only connection to the area. Side note: I think I want to smoke 10 bowls or so talking to and picking the brain of Mso489 one day...?

    Pipe Smoking Study, It Doesn't Look Good.

    The tried version of Prohibition did not work out so well. I would assume “tobacco prohibition” would not work out so well either. But the ensuing years would be difficult. Stock up on 13 years worth of you favorite blends! Puff ?

    Hello from New Haven In

    I completely misread the title, thinking it was “short typed” (if that’s a real term). Was reading New Haven in...in some place...not IN (Indiana)... I have no affinity or affiliation with New Haven, CT either...but that’s neither here nor there... Thanks for the clarity!

    Do You Smoke More Or Less In Fall And Winter?

    I’ve historically been a summer cigar / winter pipe guy. The last two years, I’ve been mostly smoking my pipe, and fewer cigars, regardless of season. And we get a full 4 seasons here in CT & VT. Either way (cigar or pipe), I do tend to heavier blends in the cold, and lighter blends in the...

    Pipe Smoking Study, It Doesn't Look Good.

    Something, eventually, will kill us all. I referenced in a prior post the random acts of choking on kale, falling down stairs, or getting hit by a texting teen on the road. I ride a motorcycle frequently - those statistics have been presented here as well as “grim”. If I factored in where I...

    Any Suggestions For New Pipe Smoker?

    This is excellent advice. I happened to get similar advice when exploring the wonderful worlds of Scotch, Bourbon, and Irish Whisk(e)ys. Pick a bottle, and finish it (eventually) and make a note of what I liked and did not like. Unfortunately, I started smoking pipes way sooner, and did not...

    Pipe Smoking Study, It Doesn't Look Good.

    That’s my “goal” - a VERY steep decline over a very short period, for my family’s sake. Not a looong drawn out ordeal. Not really sure I have much say in the end tho... In the mean time, please pass my tamper...
