    Latakia smells like cheese?

    "Yep, the first time I had Lat, I compared it to dirty socks. I eventually came to like it very much and it was a regular for me. Now, I can't smoke it. Tastes changed. I do enjoy the aroma of it though." I expect there is a fetish for that... :lol:

    Latakia smells like cheese?

    I was thinking more along the lines of cheesy feet. But I must confess I am not a fan. :lol:

    Pipes and Bugout Bags

    I have faith in the ingenuity of the average person. I believe that if someone wants to kill another and they don't have a gun handy, they will find a way. And I don't see why this can't be discussed in a pipe forum. Maybe we need more real world topics discussed around a table with a bunch of...

    Ethics/Environmental Concerns Regarding Pipe Tobacco Cultivation

    Myself and just about everyone I know growing up worked either in Tobacco or putting up hay. If it is keeping you up at night, I would consider a change.

    Best Methods For Tobacco Drying

    Last week I packed a pipe in the garage with CH and then got a call from work and forgot about it. Last night I lite it up, it might be the best bowl I have ever had of anything. Gonna have to start playing around with this drying idea myself... Back when I use to chew, I would leave the pouch...

    Best Choice for a Tobacco Pouch

    Because its the internet: Kid comes home with a note from his teacher that he had been fighting. Mom: Son what happened today at school? Son: Billy called me a sissy. Mom: And what did you do? Son: I hit him with my purse.. (I have a couple different pouches around from my local B&M. They...

    Considering A Move to Oregon

    No need to move that far, just step over the river. To the "sunny side" of Louisville.

    Am I defective because I don't like sandblasted pipes?

    Sounds like you are at least open to the possibility that you may have a mental issue. That has got to be at least the step before the step where you are ready for help. And that may one day be progress.

    Would you advise your children to smoke a pipe?

    My youngest son (age 25) took up smoking cigarettes when he left home for army life. He was married a year ago and they came in for Christmas. I allowed him to pick a pipe from my small collection and set him up with a couple of tobacco samples. He was impressed with the cost savings over his...

    Am I missing something as a beginner?

    It is very easy to make far to much of this. These forums can be like studying the commentary before reading the text.

    In defense of pipe smoking

    Smoking needs no more defense than riding a motorcycle. If we only did what was safe and necessary, most of us would never have sex again! Just because we are breathing doesn't mean we are alive.

    Fighting Tongue Bite With Water?

    I don't really have a certain drink, but most of the time I have a drink with me. Water works as good as anything. I prefer cold vs hot, but coffee is not unheard of for me. And I am not one of those people that would drink "ice coffee". That ain't natural... :-)
