    Inhaling question

    French inhale is the trick name for when one sharply inhales all smoke exhaled through the mouth into the nose. It looks cool. But what i (and yourself i assume) do, is much more subtle. There's no real exhalation from the mouth by the lungs of course but more of just allowing the smoke to...

    Inhaling question

    This is exactly how i smoke. Retrohale (out through nose) is a far more distorted taste than a wafting and subtle French inhale as described here. Sure, it inhales a bit into the lungs probably, but the taste is unbeatable.

    LJ Peretti's best blends (with lat)

    Thanks folks! Im thinking of maybe a bit of Cambridge flake and definitely a good amount of Royal. After reading the reviews, it sounds awesome.

    LJ Peretti's best blends (with lat)

    I just finally got my 2 oz each of their Tashkent and Oriental #40. They're delicious, and im going to order a pound of each I think. What other recommendations of their blends do y'all have? Particularly english/balkan/oriental. Definitely not aros. Any suggestions before I pull the trigger?

    Kudos to P&C

    Ive almost exclusively ordered from P&C for 15 years. Only once from 4noggins and maybe thrice from smokingpipes. P&C has always given me great service. The only complaint i have is they've sent me 2 dud stems with 2 different MM cobbit dwarf pipes (both stems are pretty crooked i ordered the...

    Pipe Smoking doesn't Interest me Anymore

    I'd been in a darkbplace the first 10+ yrs of my adult life. It sucks. And it almost always starts with boredom. Boredom of everything. Nothing interests me. Then that gets darker. I'm now starting to learn the oncoming signs and get up and do something before i get too helpless. I'm to take...

    Pouch Tobaccos

    Missouri Meerschaum's American Patriot and Country Gentleman are particularly noteworthy pouch blends. Most are amazed they aren't tinned with the usual markup of a tinned blend.

    Hola from Colombia!

    Bienvenidos desde Costa Rica. No hay mejor manera de disfrutar nuestros bendiciones que una buena kachimba con el cafecito. I'm actually from the US (central Fl) but have grown up Costa Rica and now live here again. I also spent a few years in VA and KY. Only bad part about being in latin...

    Greetings from a Gen Z New Pipe Smoker

    Lane 1Q is a good bet. Real easy and smells great at least. Orlik is easy but bland in my opinion. YMMV. I loved anything with Latakia from first sip, very early on in my trials. You either do or you don't. But it doesnt hurt to try. I'd stay away from dark fired kentucky blends for a lil...

    Heaviest Latakia bulk blend?

    If i remember right, even ten till midnight was fairly heavy too. I may get am ounce of that to jog my memory as well.

    Heaviest Latakia bulk blend?

    I mostly smoke light to medium bodied english/oriental blends. I'm trying to bulk up my cellar with pounds of everything i smoke though. And i do occasionally enjoy a heavy handed lat blend. Like quiet nights or gaslight for example. But tins are simply too expensive for me to justify stocking...

    Habeñeros

    I grew habaneros first time this year, among a bunch of other varieties. I didnt think they took. My 4yo brought me a lil sweet pepper and asked if she could have it. I said of course. She started freaking out and crying a few minutes later. Turns out the Habaneros did take.
