Happy Birthday to Chelsea: Photo Shoot
Kevin, my wife is not a pipe smoker. However, she has secretly bought me several pipes from Bob Hayes (my pipe Artisan) and presents these precious great smoking pipes on special days throughout the years. I am gratified and appreciative of her support. This is a woman who had a Lobectomy to...- captainbob

Pipe Smoking and Addiction
I smoke about five to eight bowls per day for the last 50 years. I never smoked ciggarettes and I do not inhale. The pipe is part of me. It is who I am! I can spend 8 hours in continuing education classes now and then and puff a little bit on breaks and have no problem if hours pass. I...- captainbob

Must try tobaccos
I would suggest the GL Pease and Craig Tarler C&D Blend mamed Two Friends - Heritage. It is flavored with Plum, Rum and Maple very lightly and comes across with wonderful Virginia flavor. In addition, I would recommend my own blend with C&D called Captain Bob's Pot O' Gold Mixture. Similar to...- captainbob

Life Insurance for Pipe Smokers
lessechler, That was quite a rant. I don't understand how (after your exam), Underwriting did not make an offer to you within 30 days. I have never heard nor experienced any thing of the sort. I wish I had more facts. It doesn't sound right to me. Your agent should have the answers for you...- captainbob

Life Insurance for Pipe Smokers
hobie1dog, I am your empathetic friend and not your enemy. You will need to be tobacco free for a year to get non-tobacco user rates. A urine test will tell the story! Nicotine will show in your urine for six to 8 weeks after not using tobacco. Furthermore, a life insurance policy is legally...- captainbob

Life Insurance for Pipe Smokers
Being an Independent Agent and owning my own agency representing multiple lines and numerous companies for 41 years, I can tell you that there was a time years ago when pipe and cigar smokers were considered non-smokers for life insurance. However, I am not aware of any life insurance company...- captainbob

I am a lucky Father!
Personally, I highly recommend BOBHAYESPIPES.COM. It is not so really important that Bob Hayes (retired Navy Seal) is Craig Tarler's (CEO of C&D) son-in-law. But, that is what brought us together. Bob Hayes is a consumant gentleman, a premier pipe artisan, winner of many awards and the best...- captainbob

Blending with OTC
buster, Those are good tobacco blends by themselves. However, don't hesitate to do the "Mixture". But, take it from me (an Amateur Blender) always write down what you are doing and measure it. Even if you use a shot-glass instead of a digital scale, always measure it!... Did I also suggest...- captainbob

I am a lucky Father!
lordnoble and herbinedave, Thank you! I am so excited about it. On Christmas, Cathy also did the same thing. It was a very special pipe featured in the Kansas City "Panel-Pipe" carving contest. I saw it featured in Pipes and Tobaccos Magazine in the Fall issue and I really admired that pipe...- captainbob

I am a lucky Father!
I must admit that I was blown away when I opened my Father's Day Gift from "my wife". She had contacted Bob Hayes (my Artisan Pipe-Maker) who is Craig Tarler's son-in-law of C&D and a retired Navy Seal. It was pipe number 15 from Bob Hayes and they picked it out together! I am proudly smoking...- captainbob

The Wife Told Me to Pack my Bags...
Grizzly86, Great wife and a nice pipe, too! My wife also surprised me. She called Bob Hayes and got me a fine pipe for Father's Day, as well. We're a couple very lucky fellows! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________- captainbob

Can you flavor pipe tobacco with grapes??
The professional sauces used by C&D are referred to as FTNF (from the natural fruit) extremely concentrated and very expensive ($100 per half gallon for some). CBB is flavored with a half ounce to the pound. Thus, while aromatic, it does not moisten the tobacco too much and is ready to smoke...- captainbob
