    A Typical Reaction to Pipesmoking?

    The reactions I’ve always gotten are fond memories of a relative and I love the smell. That said there are not too many public places you can still smoke in this neck of the woods. Easier to enjoy a pipe at home.

    OTC Tobacco

    I did the same thing a few years back and picked up a bunch of OTCs while travelling in the States. Was really glad I did really enjoyed them all. The Tinderbox in Tacoma is easy to get to and some of their bulk blends are also worth trying, e.g., luxury bullseye flake.

    Smoking Various Cheeses

    Unfortunately, in my house the biggest offender seems to be our Great Dane. As he gets older, it is a necessary accompaniment to a nap in front of the TV.

    My wife would appreciate if my cheese game became this elevated.

    I’m Latakia’d out!

    I discovered Latakia early in my journey, still feel like it is home. My first really good, breakthrough smokes were lat blends. Hope I never lose that, time will tell.

    A Question About Different Types of Tobaccos

    My great-uncle smoked a meerschaum pipe but no one living remembers what blend he smoked. The father of a friend growing up smoked a pipe but I don’t know his blend either. It did always seem the same. Seemed to be a tobacco note with rum flavouring? This would’ve been in the 70’s. But, I agree...

    Smoking as a Fine Art by A. A. Milne

    A fun read, I like the idea that it’s more about a basic quality pipe and tobacco you enjoy as you go about the day. Keep it simple and you will be rewarded. Nothing wrong with high end pipes and the sought after blends but the bottom line is those two check boxes, no more needed.

    Any Advice on Quitting Cigarettes?

    When I quit cigarettes, many years ago now, it was much the same as @cosmicfolklore, I was quitting for economic reasons. The thing I missed the most was the after meal smokes, so similar to others advice, try to have a plan to deal with the things you will really miss about cigarettes , like...

    Brigham filter substitute?

    My experience matches @shermnatman, the pipes smoke fine with the filters and without them. If you want your filters to last longer follow Sherm Natman’s advice on cleaning and drying. My palate is not discerning enough that it would distinguish the difference between the rock maple and a briar...

    Ah the Unconscious Mind

    Congratulations to you and your family, wonderful news! Piper is a fantastic name, for generations my family just recycled previously used names. Just not quite formally enough for anyone to become Reginald III but confusing to tell a story.

    What’s the Weirdest Place You’ve Smoked a Bowl?

    Last summer I was staying at a hotel with a courtyard that had a pool. The designated smoking area was at one end of the courtyard. In this day and age it seemed strange to be able to smoke in such a visible and pleasant spot, especially in a state that isn’t as smoker friendly as some.

    First live pipe smoker

    Almost forgot, last summer went to Seattle and was smoking my pipe by the hotel pool. A fellow asked to join me to smoke a cigar. Turns out he’s also a pipe smoker from a town about three hours south of where I live in Canada. Again, I never saw him smoke a pipe. One day when I get to a pipe show.
