Putting my 2-3month pipe experience away.
I'll second that ... I've never experienced any sort of physiological need to smoke, and my smoking pleasure has been almost exclusively been associated with the pipe. The only other form of tobacco that I've experimented with is an extremely rare cigar. During periods when my workload gets the...- johnscs

Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey
Funny! And hats off to your wife, buck67 ... thoughtful of her to pick up a pouch of BR! I tasted Borkum Riff Whiskey for the first time in a really long time a few weeks ago. I was at a hopelessly dull event and ducked out to see if I could pick up something to smoke (didn't have my pipe or...- johnscs

Some Good News!!!
Hey - Some positive PR, for a change! Coincidentally, I dropped into the shop in the video when I was in Denver not long ago, and the staff told me that they had just started to dedicate a much bigger chunk of their inventory to the pipe-smoking crowd. While I was there, I met a group of college...- johnscs

Smoking in Public - Best Experiences

Underage Pipe Smoking
THX to everyone who has taken the time to respond to my little quandary. Very thoughtful. I neglected to mention that I know about legal penalties for supplying tobacco, alcohol, etc. to minors - I wouldn't be tempted to defy the law. I should have framed my dilemma in a more hypothetical way...- johnscs

Underage Pipe Smoking
Kind of an interesting coincidence that I stumbled onto this topic, b/c I have recently been put in kind of an awkward position. First, though, I have to say that I smoked my first pipe in my mid-teens and would certainly have found a way to smoke a pipe regardless of adult opinion. From the...- johnscs

What got you started on pipes?
Some pretty consistent threads here. Interesting memories. I can hardly remember a time in my life when I didn't yearn to smoke a pipe. Had a pipe-smoking grandfather, as well as a few other pipe-smoking role models while growing up. My dad even dabbled once in a while. I always loved the sweet...- johnscs
