    Going in for Surgery on the 12th of This Month.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery Harris. I passed a kidney stone a few years ago. I'm not a pushover but I was damn near rolling on the floor in pain. I just laid there sweating and rolling on the couch for an hour and a half. Felt like a piece of glass when I passed it. Wife whose a nurse...

    Tobacco Suggestions for a Novice Smoker

    I think I'd spread out a bit and try some Virginia's, Virginias w/ Burley, and VaPers. Once you go down the rabbit hole you really open up a lot of options. There's a favorite VaPer thread running around here that got some great options. I don't smoke too many "english" blends. Still picking...

    Having Some Beginner Troubles

    Welcome to the forum! Everyone else gave you some great advice. For myself working on my tobacco prep method and packing method was one of the biggest improvements I needed to make. It really opened up a lot of enjoyment in the hobby for me. And I STILL screw it up now and then. Practice...

    What Are You Smoking? *February 2013*

    Frog's Cellar in a Peterson Aran bent bulldog while I shoveled the walk. H&H's Anniversary Kake in a Mario Grandi Apple with a coffee. Morning everyone.

    What Are You Smoking? *February 2013*

    JPberg that's a gorgeous pipe. Marlin Flake in a Aldo Velani apple with a cup of Mehmet Efendi. The contrast is really nice. Smooth sweet and light tobacco with the heavier coffee. Have a good day everyone.

    H&H Anniversary Kake Question

    I really appreciate the response Russ. I'm going to pop that bad boy out and give it another go in a few months. (It's like mailing your future self a birthday present from the past) Appreciate the responses from everyone else too. That's a good note on aging the tin vs jar. Okay let me...

    New Mario Grandi

    Congrats! I have a Mario Grandi and found it very easy to break in. It took to being smoked right away and had almost a sweet taste behind it. Hope you enjoy it.

    Orlik Golden Sliced

    Nice table and tobacco there Gray. I put mine in my liquor cabinet. My two year old likes to help me arrange the tins and asks to smell the jars. In fact when I clean my pipes he gets a few of his own pipe cleaners and some beaters to "clean". re: Orlik GS. This is a great tobacco. I wish I...

    Opinions on PS Bulk Flakes

    I love LBF. It's got a lightly sweet grassy taste with a mild dash of pepper. The first batch I had for about 6 months and smoked MUCH better then the newest batch I got it. The older stuff had a much more defined taste and a "fuller" flavor. I can't wait till this new stuff gets some age on...

    Wildlife Conservation and Pipe Smoking Mural

    They'd probably paint over it and make it into a carrot.

    The Perfect Experience

    Good on you. I was on the backside of a lagoon, on a damp fall day when I had the PERFECT bowl of Haddo's Delight. I still remember it and smile when I pass that park.

    Macbaren Vanilla Flake Questions

    I enjoyed my tin of this. As to the dryness, I tend to like mine slightly crunchy. Not enough that you think all moisture is gone, but enough that it doesn't steam up on you. In my experience the drier the it is the more you can pick out a spice note. I folded and stuffed mine and found it...

    H&H Anniversary Kake Question

    That's what happens when the 2 oz tins are all sold out! So yeah. I bought 16 ozs. It was cheap. That's my only defense! I was in cellar mode.

    Too Hot To Handle

    My Peterson XL315 has a "bell-like" shape and it tends to get warm right in the middle if I'm being mindless. I just chalked it up to puffing to fast coupled with the design (since it tapers in the "middle").

    H&H Anniversary Kake Question

    Hello. I've got a question for you AnniKake smokers. I'm stating the following in case it matters on the age at the time it was tinned. I opened up some of my Anniversary Kake and it was EXTREMELY moist. Like I could have squeezed it together and gotten juice if I pressed it hard enough...
