    How do you smoke a Navy flake tobbaco

    I just stuff Flakes and Coins into my Pipe and fire up... An important aspect, whether you fold, stuff or rub out Flakes and Coins is that the tobacco be on the dry side.

    Have your tastes ever changed?

    This is a part of Pipe smoking that many of us experience. As we evolve, so do our tastes - which is not to say that something old and familiar will loose it's appeal permanently. Some of it is seasonal, while other times will see changes like the ones you've described. A blend that has...

    looking for tin suggestions for my cellar

    I hadn't heard of this. What are the particulars? Thanks! -Jason The local paper carried the story last week. The FDA is requiring tobacco blenders to make their blend components known. Those who don't comply will have to withdraw their products from the shelves. I believe this is coming...

    looking for tin suggestions for my cellar

    Rattray blends are personal favorites of mine. Marlin Flake is the big brother of Old Gowrie. Black Mallory is the big brother of Red Rapparee. My preferences have long been: Hal O' the Wynd, Red Rapparee, Marlin Flake and aged Black Mallory. For rope tobacco G&H Happy Brown Bogie is the...

    Sterling Tobacco Samples...

    Clanobucklin writes: It's interesting that you put him in the same league as Steve Books. I just discovered Rich's Tobaccos not too long ago and his blends totally rock. I think both Steve & Jack are unsung heroes in pipe smoking industry. I'm in total agreement on this one. Both are Master...

    What are You Reading?

    I just recently finished reading Confessions of a Pipe Smoker, 2nd edition and promptly lent it to a friend - who is now enjoying Gary's wit and wisdom. I'm not convinced that the second edition was that much better than the first one, but it is more up to date in this rapidly changing...

    Good afternoon. Winter is back. OK, so this is old news to a bunch of you guys, but snow is a big deal around here. I'm staying by the fire, burning Dunhill Flake in one of Paul's Pipes. Best to all. http://pipesmagazine.com/members/fred/album/picture/1052
