    The Weather and Piping

    Here in Indiana I have a fine back porch with a roof and a fine garage I can heat in colder weather. But I am far from a daily smoker, there are times I may go weeks or more. So if I feel the weather is a problem or too much hassle for the garage, I just pass. One of my favorite times is...

    It Must Have Been Expensive to Learn How to Smoke a Pipe 100+ Years Ago

    Here in the Midwest US I don't think it would have been too bad. Many a farm was paid off with a tobacco base. Just in the drying barns when I was a kid you could pick up enough discarded tobacco leaves in five minutes to last you five years. When you factor out pipe collecting and the...

    Rusticated or Smooth. What Do You Prefer?

    If I liked the stem, the shape and the size I'm not sure texture would matter. I have pipes of both texture, but I didn't buy any of them because of it.

    Matches vs. Lighters

    Lighter, because the seven thousand matches it would take to smoke one bowl would soon add up. Lumber prices are high enough now, if I start killing trees at that rate no one could afford to build a porch let alone a house. Maybe I'm a little over the top, more like six thousand, but still...

    Buying First Pipes, A Few Suggestions

    I know lots of folks will recommend a cob as a first try. And I think for very good reasons not least price. But they are just so easy to get along with and usually easy to find local. I have several and enjoy them they really are a great choice for most of us. I don't think I have ever...

    To Rest or Not to Rest

    When I first started I thought this rotation idea was just something you tell your wife in order to justify owning more than one pipe. Now years later, I still think that...

    Prince Albert

    After reading this thread I called about six local shops all told me they didn't have any PA and had not had it for some time now. One of the ladies told me several people had inquired about it, she said it was still one of their best sellers. I didn't ask about CH, but I have not seen any...

    Prince Albert

    I never thought I would see the day! I always liked it and found it best in a cob. I found if you had to much cake in your pipe you could hardly taste it. I think I know enough about human nature to know that because you can no longer get it, it will become mythic. Shortly it will become...

    1 Grabow for 1 Year (8/2/19)

    All my grandfather ever smoked. He would of thought it less than frugal to own more than one pipe at a time. Good luck

    Converted

    Folks seem to think they smoke almost as good as a cob. I'll just stick with my cob. Glad you like your new pipe, post up a pic or two.

    Muttonchop's Blend Club

    He did a couple tours of shops near to me. i have visited two of them after watching his channel. When I say near, one is an hour away the other two hours. I'm sure this change will only help the blend club.
