    English Blend for Beginners

    I tried to solve this by offering to buy a pipe for my gf so she could smoke it with me. She noticed though that the one I was suggesting for her was one I had been looking at online for a few weeks. One of the hazards of browsing for pipes in the same room. I was discovered and my plan foiled lol

    English Blend for Beginners

    haha that's the same situation I am in! My gf loves the smell of an aromatic, but as soon as I light up an English blend inside she leaves the room in disgust!

    English Blend for Beginners

    Drucquer and Sons have an excellent line of English blends ranging from very mild English to very potent in terms of flavor. Regarding strength of nicotine, the strongest I noticed was Prince's Blend and perhaps my least favorite as far as taste went. The other blends seemed to be about the same...

    Before bed?

    I usually smoke what I'm in the mood for, but yes a higher nicotine content blend at night is preferable to one in the morning. If I skip the morning one for some reason and I have a fuller stomach I won't mind having a higher nicotine blend in the early afternoon though.

    Thoughts on Limited Edition Blends

    That's what I felt when I posted originally. Why not find something that is in steady good supply? Although I can see the point being made by other members here about enjoying something rare and unique.

    Thoughts on Limited Edition Blends

    That makes a lot of sense actually, I can understand it more now. I think the issue is I just haven't tried enough blends. I tend to like a blend and stick to it. I think if I opened myself up to more experiences then finding that "one perfect blend" wouldn't be as much of an issue. I was kind...

    Help Making a Decision About Expensive Pipe

    These particular pipes I have been looking at for quite a long time. I look and compare other pipes to them and I keep coming back to these. They just overall are aesthetically pleasing and check all the boxes for me. I'm just hesitant because I have never spent so much on a pipe before. If that...

    Help Making a Decision About Expensive Pipe

    I will smoke them, I never bought a pipe as an investment and don't know if it would pay off or not. I might keep one of them as a display / investment, but I think I would smoke the majority if not all of them.

    Help Making a Decision About Expensive Pipe

    I have some pipes I'm ready to purchase. They are limited edition and are quite expensive, at least relative to my budget. It's not a question of my not having the money, I just have never purchased an expensive pipe before. To those who have committed substantial amounts of money toward a pipe...

    Peder Jeppesen Pipe Quality

    thanks! That is an awesome pipe! That's unfortunate about the burn out, I had something similar happen with a Nording where it wore out where they put in the rustication. If you catch it fast enough, maybe you can use some pup mud from cigar ash? If it's all the way through I know some people...

    Peder Jeppesen Pipe Quality

    That's actually very helpful and what I was wondering about. I know he is a respected pipe maker, but there seems to be so many coming out I am wondering about overall quality. Thanks! Do you have a picture?

    Thoughts on Limited Edition Blends

    The recent C&D post about "Folklore" kind of had me thinking about these limited edition blends in general, not just from C&D, but from other companies like Kohlhase and Kopp who put out limited edition Winter Blends each year. What happens if you absolutely fall in love with the blend? I love...
