Im not saying that they dont know that i smoke a pipe. Im actually VP of a pipe club full of ppeople 20-40 years older than me and both my parents and they think that is funny, they just dont like me doing it, around my little brother and everything. And its more so that they can worry about...
I have to update my response, i have about 6 or 7 open, Orlik, Sherlock holmes, university flake, solani perique, mississippi river, rum and maple, sutliff early morning smoke, and macbarens club mixture, so 8 haha
I absolutely agree, i found the same pipe, for the same price (peterson 313 for 75 bucks) oone sold in NY, one sold in England, I live in pennsylvania, ill give you 3 guesses on which postage was cheaper and ill give you a hint, it wasnt the one in ny
Haha, yeah, im not too worried about withdrawel, im more worried about overall stress level, its just that the only place i dont feel comfortable smoking is around my family during the holidays, but that place i probably really need to smoke is....around my family during the holiday... they can...
Im at college and live away from home and im going home on tuesday for thanksgiving. My parents dont quite care for me smoking so i usually quit while im home out of respect.
Either way im stuck taking a break for a couple days and im not so happy about it. I have to go from about 4 or 5 bowls...
Never had either of those blends, but i would recommend, based on my own experience with starting, maybe Orlik golden sliced, its a very good straight VA. Its also very accessible, and then, easy to judge where to go from there. Thats how i was taught i guess
Very cool, man you make some nice pipes. still debating ramen noodles for a couple weeks so that I can afford one
EDIT, and yes i think the upgrades area big improvement. Got too side tracked with pipe envy
To address all opposed to my title...
Those are the words that I used when it happened, I apologize if you are offended by the use of asterisks. You go buy a pipe thats at the to of your financial ceiling, that you immediately are proud of and break the stem off after two days. Tell us what you...
Personally i think its better to pair a specific beer with a specific blend, i know thats not the answer youd like but thats how its worked best for me. An example is i really enjoyed that new guiness black lager with solani vaper, its quite heavy on the perique so they paired well
Im not too much of a clencher with regular pipe stems, i actually rarely just hold them in my mouth, just smething about those cob stems i like to bite hard on them and then they fit to my teeth and i then clench the hell out of them.
Just a bad habit i guess
Ive been looking into them for my cob for a year now, not sure if they are worth the money, or i should just keep spending the 75 cents a month for those cruddy plastic ones for my cob. Not sure whether to go vulcanite or lucite.
Any suggestions
