    TobaccoReviews.com Bought by Pipes & Tobaccos Magazine

    That's a savvy move by P&T. Yes Kevin, I spent the day at the local B&M that I frequent, loafing and burning fine blends in Meerschaums, with a Cigar thrown in for good measure. It was a good time of sparkling conversation & company, while not accomplishing anything in particular.

    Lampe Berger oil in a regular oil lamp?

    It would be better to get an effusion lamp to burn the Lampe Berger oil in, if you want the benefit of it's use. That stuff is too pricey to just burn in a regular lamp.

    What Did You do Today?

    I spent the day loafing around in the B&M I frequent... Smoking fine Pipes & blends, with a Cigar thrown in for good measure. Between good conversation & company, I had an enjoyable day accomplishing nothing in particular.

    Evolution of Pipe Smokers?

    I agree with you Bob. I also take a different tact on the concept of evolution. I use the term in the sense that continued experience and change bring the Pipe smoker to a greater level of appreciation for what he/she smokes. It doesn't mean that those who prefer a particular category of...

    Smoking and Computers

    After a year with an ionizer, I was ready to pay someone to clean it every week or so. I've been using a fragrance lamp, which really works at binding with airborne odors and eliminating them, for about 3 years now. I'm quite happy with it. A La T Da or Lampe Berger is a good investment...

    All the fuss about English blends

    There is a lot to this evolution concept. As we evolve, so do our tastes, our Pipes and the blends we cellar. For me, variety has been the source of pleasure as each blend I smoke provides counterpoint for the next blend. Too much of the same thing is not my preference. As I grow older...

    All the fuss about English blends

    I admit my bias..., I'm not much of an Aromatic smoker. I know that the best selling Pipe tobacco's in the world are Aromatics and that 3 out of 4 Pipe smokers burn them. I agree with Gary Schrier (Confessions of a Pipeman), in his assertion that new Pipe smokers should begin by smoking...

    Just Learned About Niccups

    OK guys... This is the first time I've heard of anyone getting "niccups". I've heard others report: dizziness, nausea, vomiting, hives, headache and irritability before, but this is a new one on me. :crazy:

    Everclear

    Papipeguy writes: I'm imagining my conversation with my doctor asking him for a prescription for Everclear so I can clean my pipes. Him to me: A)grain alcohol will kill you, B) pipe smoking will kill you. Me to him:"Give me the presciption so I can clean my pipes or I will kill you." This...

    Look at this.

    Yes, some consider the Kaywoodie stinger to be a necessary part of the Pipe... Both my Father and I cut them off, as we felt that all they did was keep the smoke from cooling. This issue has been debated for longer than I've been alive and will likely be going on after I've turned to dust.

    Ebay Estate Pipes - Buyer Beware - Cargyll

    There are possible sound reasons that this Seller has not acted as yet... I don't have inside information on this situation, but it is possible that the guy's computer died, personal trouble in the family or something else. It's frustrating not knowing what's going on, but things could still...

    Whats a Good Viginia Flake/Perique

    Solani 633 is the quintessential Virginia/Perique Flake. It's not an Aromatic but has a light, sweet topping..., likely a sugar water used in the manufacture. There are plenty of good Virginia/Perique blends, but this stuff will ruin you over all of them...
