    Tobacco for Breaking In

    Just go ahead and smoke the tobacco that you (hopefully) will dedicate to this pipe. That is my advice. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    What To Smoke When? How Do You Decide?

    I smoke three blends every day. I dedicate several pipes to each blend as each blend is very unique. Generally, I first pick the blend and then one of the dedicated pipes. For me the rotation of pipes and blends is very important. It keeps my taste buds alive and my pipes tasting real good...

    How Many Blends Are There?

    Tuly, there are more than anyone could try in a lifetime. It is true that while there are an infinite number of variations in acceptable blends such as English Latakia Blends, there are outstanding examples. If you go with McClelland, Cornell and Diehl or Uhle's, for example, you really can't...

    Captain Bob's Blend

    Never hesitate to ask your etailer to provide you with a particular C&D Blend that they don't currently stock. All they have to do is request it from C&D and they will have it! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    C&D Tuskegee Airmen

    Craig asked me to smoke this blend when introduced. He sent me samples and I ordered more. I truly enjoyed smoking two-pounds of this blend when it was introduced. My wife does not care for Latakia. Therefore I keep some on hand for that outdoors smoke in the non-Winter season. I live in...

    Having Taste Issues

    +1 Jud, Based on what you have enjoyed with cigars, you might do well to try a cigar blend or an English Blend (contains Latakia). You strike me as a smoker who needs a stronger non-aromatic blend because you enjoy cigars. Lou, if you can speak to a tobacconist, he may be able to help you...

    Preparing Tinned Tobacco?

    +1 Jud! Experiment. Rubbing out a Flake or a Coin is nothing more than preference. You may prefer to do as I do, simply pack and burn! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    How Often Do You Have to Smoke a New Pipe to Break It In?

    +1 rothnh! I buy only pipes from Hayes and the bowls are "unfinished-uncoated". I never have a problem. I smoke them just like my old pipes and all the way down to the bottom of the bowl. Me thinks the important thing is to rotate your pipes and give them a rest. I have 17 pipes in rotation...

    What Does "Smoking Cooler" Mean To You?

    For me, if I can't hold the pipe comfortably in my hand or against my cheek, I am smoking to hot! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    "Hand Made" Definition

    Of course, my Artisan pipe-maker, Bob hayes uses machinery. What is important is the fact that he makes a pipe that is woefully under-priced by Artisan standards and is engineered to smoke great. To me, that is the benefit of dealing direct with the Artisan pipe-maker. If there is a problem...
