    Smoking a Pipe with GERD/Reflux

    This is NOT medical advice. From what you say you might have a hiatal hernia. Smoking can relax the lower esophageal sphincter which will let that blob of acid or food pass back into your stomach. Ask your doctor to check at your next exam.

    And if you insist, the answer is 42.

    How Many Open Tins is Too Many?

    There really isn't an answer to this. If you are going to smoke them before opening another then you only want what you will smoke in a couple of weeks open and in tins. If you want to sample what you have then probably best to jar or mylar so if it takes a while to circle back your tobacco...

    Only One Blend

    Well, when I first transitioned from cigars to pipes I spent about a year trying about 100 different blends and types. I also acquired a number of pipes. As my preferences became clear, I actually narrowed down to 2 blends and ultimately a single pipe. I still have all of the blends I sampled...

    Elegantlighters.com They do great work. Fully restored my grandfather's old dunhill lighter.

    Hello from Southern Illinois!

    Welcome Brian! I hope you enjoy it here. I have found that while PSD is like walking into a bar shortly after work, this forum is more like arriving around 10 or 11 pm. It's quite surly comparatively!

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    Could be tobacco or could be the processing. For me that's Union Square. Tin note made me slobber. Could not wait to fire it up. 3 puffs later and all of the saliva in my mouth is GONE and I am on fire. Similar experience with Virginia No1 which from a flavor standpoint is one of my...

    Your First Pipe

    Genuine Missouri Meerschaum on the wall at the sweetshop/pharmacy; bent stem, because a proper pipe has a bend! I was like 13 and copying the "grown ups". I told Mrs Shanelbrook at the counter that my dad asked me to get it for him.

    Can Tobacco Change For The Worse?

    I wonder if it's not your pipe? I have not noticed much change in any tobacco in just 8-12 weeks in a jar.

    What's Your MBTI?

    Really, who gives a rat's ass? Might as well add in a little more mysticism and ask about Enneagrams.

    What "The Wife" Thinks

    This...Virginias are welcome in the house. Latakia is embraced for smelling like a wood fire, but only if it's outside.

    Any B&M in Boston

    Watch City Cigar is equally good depending on where you are staying.

    Tobacco has no taste?

    Ruling out things like COVID and allergies...If you used to be able to taste them and now can't, it may be palate fatigue. Especially if you smoked a bunch immediately preceding this loss of taste. I discovered Latakia. Went crazy for it. Smoked it to the point that I could not taste...

    Cellaring Tobacco

    Yes, some people do use them. I am not one of them.
