    Who's Giving Up Pipe Smoking for Lent?

    My wife says I shouldn't make my penance her penance.

    Pictures of Pipe Tobacco

    You've only been smoking for a year and a couple of months? Where/how did you come by the Murray's? The photography's fine, but I think more people will be interested in what you've photographed!

    Dang This Stuff is Good.

    That's funny - I never thought "soap" until my wife mentioned it and now I can't get it out of my head. My parents tell me that as a baby, I would eat soap in the bathtub if they didn't keep an eye on me. Of course, I have no memory of this.

    Pairing Tobacco and Drink

    Amen. After dinner, I usually have a little wine left to go with my post-prandial pipe, and it's been fun trying to match cheap red wine with different tobaccos.

    What Are You Smoking? *February 2013*

    Morning, All. I started the day with GLP JKP in a bent Boswell billiard. And coffee.

    Free Samples

    I received a tin of Sutliff No. 5 about a month after I submitted the request. Nothing from STG yet.

    Dang This Stuff is Good.

    Me, too! I can't abide the humectified. But I love the soapy aroma of Nightcap and the soapy (to me) aftertaste of Penzance. Good soap/bad soap?

    Peterson Irish Flake

    I agree with the others who have said IF has more nicotine than JKP, but not a whale-of-a-lot more. The flakes are thicker than what I usually cut from a plug, so I'm careful to use a smaller pipe and not to over-fill, but I think if you smoke JKP you would probably enjoy IF.

    Cleaning Peterson System pipes

    Can you use a retort on these? On a related note, can you use a retort on a p-lip? I assume it would be hard to keep the tubing from covering the hole.

    What Kind of Clay to Use?

    All of the high schools in our area have kilns. Wonder what they'd say if you took a pipe in and asked them to fire it when they were doing all the students' pinch pots.

    Borkum Riff’s Bourbon Whiskey

    My father smoked this when I was a youngster, so I tried it when I started smoking a pipe. As a result, I almost immediately stopped smoking a pipe. It was not for me!

    Sample Before Buying

    My local B&M has about a dozen tins open for sampling, but I believe you have to ask and I'm sure people are not allowed to freeload. I shop there about once a month and have been offered samples as appropriate. It's one of the reasons I continue to give them my custom (good advice from the...
