    Help With Navy And Other Spirit Infused Blends

    Hi Everyone, Was looking for some guidance regarding navy blends and other blends flavoured with rum or brandy. I’ve never really smoked these as I’ve veered more toward English blends, but I’m looking to branch out a bit into the Vaper/English aromatic arena. My main concern though is...

    Experience with Humidification Disks

    Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone uses the humidification disks (either the stainless steel ones with clay inside or the little clay leaves) inside the tins or plastic containers pipe tobacco comes in. I don’t really want to use mason jars as this would be a simpler method at least for me...

    How Do You Evaluate The Risk?

    You’re so correct about limiting Omeprazole and other antacids, that was actually what threw me off originally. I had a bad diet in college, used that medicine for years for heartburn, and then it apparently altered the bacteria in my gut, causing digestion issues. At least according to the doc...

    How Do You Evaluate The Risk?

    I am so sorry for the pain you and your loved ones went through. I really appreciate you taking the time to share. To be honest, you just put into words and summarised the sentiments I’ve been feeling, but couldn’t really express to myself about enjoying life while we can and why we should. I...

    How Do You Evaluate The Risk?

    That is most true, I think that’s pretty sound advice. Mainly it was so much work to go off smoking altogether at first I don’t want to have to do it all over again, but I miss the hell out of the pipe so some experimenting sounds worth it. Oddly enough the initial quitting was no issue, but...

    How Do You Evaluate The Risk?

    Behind you by 2 years. I miss the good old days when a pack of unfiltered camels did nothing more than give me a bit of a cough in the morning lol

    How Do You Evaluate The Risk?

    Hi Everyone, I’m wondering how you all evaluate the risk of pipe smoking in terms of other known health conditions? Ever since I was hit with Covid, I’ve had bad issues with digestion, exacerbated by cigarette smoking. Having finally gone off all forms of tobacco for a bit, I’m at the point...

    Drucquer & Sons, Loch Ness, April 8th Release Date

    Time to stock up on Red Rapparee. Don't worry, for that I order from some German suppliers since the shipping is less from there than from USA, so I won't be competing with you for Rattray's lol.

    Drucquer & Sons, Loch Ness, April 8th Release Date

    I've tried everything else from that line except for 1st Amendment, I have to imagine it will be fantastic. I echo the other sentiments on here, though, I did a great job restraining my purchasing habits until I saw this . . . This, gentleman, is the main reason I keep separate bank accounts...

    Anyone Know This Maker?

    What are You Reading as You Smoke?

    Poker strategy books and sometimes philosophy usually. Although I'm watching Seinfeld reruns now while smoking Kohlhase's da Vinci...an academic, I am not.....lol!

    Anyone Know This Maker?

    I saw this on Le Pipe's webpage and there's no link. I would really like this pipe lol!

    Trafalgar Different Taste?

    I hope that isn't the case I really love that blend. Maybe if I smoke it in a briar it will taste different. Have to brace myself for the worst lol.

    Trafalgar Different Taste?

    Hi All, Has anyone noticed a change in Drucquer and Sons "Trafalgar?" I bought some over a year ago and remember it having more of a "tangy" or "acidic" note creating a bit more of a bite. I know this isn't correct, but to me it smelled a little more like vinegar and had more of a "bite." At...

    G.L. Pease, Where to Start?

    I actually think after hearing so many talk about airing it out and trying it out over time I may rethink my strategy. Obviously start with some of the ones highly recommended but maybe try them all eventually over time. I may also get the 8 ounce tins instead of the 2. I think to really get to...

    G.L. Pease, Where to Start?

    yes it gets quite humid in the summer months and most of the time to be honest. It can get rainy and cold on occasion though.

    G.L. Pease, Where to Start?

    that's super helpful, thanks! Levant is one of my all-time favorites, but it would be great to try something similar with a little more nuance. I enjoy mixing up my blends throughout the day, so this would be quite a good recommendation and one I wasn't considering until now.

    G.L. Pease, Where to Start?

    I love those end of the evening smokes. I just had Nightcap and I feel quite relaxed. One thing I found pipes do that cigarettes don't is put me to sleep. It's quite interesting that the same plant treated differently does different thing. About to put the order in now thanks!

    G.L. Pease, Where to Start?

    Well, I'm a smoker, so not everything I do makes sense. I guess if I was living perfectly I would have gone out for a 5 mile run instead of sitting around smoking pipes and cigarettes all day. No one's perfect...

    G.L. Pease, Where to Start?

    They all look so good! If I ordered this many though in the 8oz they would be confiscated at customs for sure. So envious of being able to order stateside and have no restrictions lol. I meant to stock up before I left but A. I was low on funds and B. was pretty sure if I came into the airport...
