    Paying it Forward.

    That's terrible. At least he has a friend like you. Pryers going out to all those affected.

    The Flake Mistake

    I'm no expert but I hear the folding technique creates uneven burning problems.

    Becoming a (Pipe Smoking) Dad!

    I know that the claims about second hand smoke are all sketchy and it's a toss up, but I'm not risking it. I have no reason to. I'll just smoke in my mancave and outside, where I like to smoke best anyway. I was more concerned about the little one being disgusted by the smell on my beard and...

    Becoming a (Pipe Smoking) Dad!

    Thank you everyone for the kind words and advice. I will not smoke around the daughter in a closed area. I only smoke indoors in my "man-cave" anyway, and only when the weather is bad (otherwise I love having another excuse to go outside) but I don't think the baby will be there often. I suppose...

    Becoming a (Pipe Smoking) Dad!

    Hello all, A new chapter in my life is about to start. In the coming weeks my wife and I are due to have our first child, a girl. I am quite excited, happy, and a little nervous. But in the end I know it will be a wonderful experience. Now if I can have some tips from my elders regarding pipe...

    Free Tobacco Samples?

    What rmbittner said. If there is a tobacconist around you with house blends he or she will likely let you try some, even let you take samples home. Nearly all of them that I've encountered do this. Just make sure you support them by spending a few bucks. House blends are generally really good...

    Of Generosity and Handouts

    Haven't been around for all that long and I often don't have a whole lot to contribute as I am a lot less experienced than most of you. But you guys are by far the nicest forum I have ever visited. I wouldn't dream of sticking my hand out.

    Old Bruyere Restoration

    Bruyere is the German word for "Briar" in case someone didn't know. She turned out very nice, congrats.

    Traveling Abroad With Pipes

    I have a friend in Paris which is about 5 hours by train from where I live now. I've visited him several times. Don't plan on finding a place to smoke inside, at least in the city. But there are lots of tobacco shops. One of our favorite things to do is to buy a couple of nice cigars and sit on...

    Authors and Writers. Any Here?

    No books but I am a musician and I do write songs, including lyrics. Does that count?

    What Kind of Looks/Reactions do You Get While Smoking in Public? Good or Bad!

    I just get some strange looks and occasionally someone asks about why I choose a pipe. I am 23 but with a somewhat muscular shape and full beard, many say I look older. Who knows. My wife got me a pipe for Christmas and she got some really strange looks when she bought it. She is 22 but could...

    Your Opinion Requested

    It wasn't the retailers fault, and police will likely do absolutely nothing. Your problem is with UPS, others have already given great tips on how to deal with them

    Traveling Abroad With Pipes

    I travel a lot back and forth from the US to the EU because I have family and friends on both sides of the atlantic. I have never been stopped by either customs for tobacco, although I never bring all that much. If you want my opinion, you should look up a tobacconist in your area in France and...

    Black Raspberry Tobacco

    This probably won't help you, but in Wüppertal, Germany there is a tobacconist that makes a fantastic black rasberry tobacco. One of my top 5 tobaccos I've tried, probably top 1-3 aromatics.

    Anyone live in my area Fredericksburg, VA

    I live pretty far away (Germany) but when I was looking for places to hang out and smoke I just looked for B&Ms around me. Most of them allowed smoking inside and had very friendly owners and fellow customers who like to make pipe friends. If you can find a pipe shop that have house blends and a...

    Taste - new v. old

    @ captain - I know about the salt treatment but not everything. It seems rather drastic and like maybe there would be some negative side effects especially if done too often. @ Bob - I do rest my pipes between smokes but not that long. Typically I will only smoke a pipe once per day, usually...
