    Its almost been a year now

    My first year in, or there bouts. I started out with Carter Hall I heard it was a good over the counter blend that had been around forever. And I could find it everywhere. I also tried Prince Albert because it was my grand father’s favorite blend. After doing a lot of online research I called...

    On Thanksgiving Day, I will Not Be Happy!!!!!!

    No FOOTBALL! How can you have a traditional Thanksgiving afternoon without football? In my 25 years of marriage I have had to endure a lot of uncomfortable situations with the outlaws, but I would draw the line at no football. It has saved my sanity on several occasions, I can still recall...

    Snowy Weather Smoke

    You guys are not gonna like this, but when its really cold out my favorite is Prince Albert. #1 Because I am smoking in my recliner, in the house. #2 My wife finds it "a little less offensive". (She has almost come to the point of saying she enjoys the smell, almost) Seems both our grandfathers...

    The cliché question: why can't my pipe stay lit?

    What is this "breath" smoking you are talking about?

    Using Matches?

    I don't have anything against matches, but I got to relight my pipe way to often for them to be practical!

    Sunday morning tradition

    Sunday is Church for me, very often when we return from evening Service I will set in the garage and watch the sun go down with a bowl of cherry blend. Winter has arrived here, so it will be a few months before I pick this back up! Its already dark well before we get back. I think my closest...

    Fireside with JB: an experiment

    This sounds like a great idea for a Christmas! I think I will make a couple of jars. This sounds like a great gift for my BIL. Was the half pint jar full of tobacco?

    Pouch Tobacco Freshness

    CB is not my favorite, but it is to some folks, and I still smoke it now and again. I have found that if I open a pouch of anything and want to dry it out a little, I just open it and let it set out. But not in the sun, you don't need the heat. I think that might have been part of the OP...

    1954 Prince Albert unopened ...ok to smoke?

    I think this is all my grandfather ever smoked! Those little cans where all over the place, full of nuts and bolts and a 1000 other things. They where his Altoids tins! I picked up a pouch just last week, I still remember the smell of his self rolled cigarets, he would sometimes get his pipe...

    What are your plans for St. Patty's Day?

    Tonight I'll try my first bowl of Virginia flake in a new pipe. Thought about painting the pipe green. Tomorrow night I'll be entertaining at a local nursing home, telling a few Irish jokes, playing guitar and singing a few songs badly, even have a cheap plastic green hat for the occasion. If...

    Resting awhile

    I am amazed at how some tobacco flavors change just be being opened. I wouldn't have thought about this, without reading the forum. I have been revisiting some of my first purchases and some have really benefited from the wait. How do you keep track of such things? I am not sure I am ready to...

    Anti-tongue Bite Strategies (cont.)

    As someone already pointed out, use a filter.

    Defining "Sour"

    When something starts to smell and taste like an ash tray, it is.

    Motorcycles and Pipes

    Lighting it would kill me, when its cold out I have my full face on. Better to hit it at the stops IMHO

    Flake, how to?

    Bob, I wasn't looking for a consistence. I just wondered why people liked the way they do it. Its not like I'm asking what engine to put in my car, or how to fix my marriage. :D 99% of the stuff we talk about on a forum doesn't need talked about, its a forum. No offense taken or implied. I...

    I have a couple of real stinkers....

    I have this issue with a couple of pipes, I understand the ash tray smell. I will have to look into some of the recommendations. Seems like I have heard of using mouth wash to freshen a stem?

    Flake, how to?

    I picked up some Virginia Flake last visit to a B&M. I see people rolling it up and stuffing it, and I see people that tear it apart first? What do you recommend? Also, do you tend to use a larger bowl pipe for flake? Thanks

    ZIPPO lighter

    I wonder whether anyone can make an informed statement about Zippo quality over the years? It would be nice to know they've kept it up. My favourite shape is the 1935 model. It fits my hand perfectly. Mine is not a month old and it looks to be of the same quality as the one I owned 20 years...

    ZIPPO lighter

    My wife got a Zippo pipe lighter for Valentines Day, I love it. I didn't even know they made a pipe lighter till she spotted it in the store!

    Is Price A Good Indication of Quality?

    Maybe one day I will learn to smoke better and have to buy a better pipe. :wink: But for right now my Dr Grabow seems to do the job. Sure seems like what I smoke in them makes more difference than what pipe I'm using. Those are nice looking pipes I am sure you will like them.(I really like the...
