Years of Pipe Smoking vs. Pipe + Tobacco Count
Awesome. Kudos for keeping it simple! My great grandfather was that way and I always appreciated it. He was a one pipe and one tobacco man as long as I knew him. His pipe and a bag of Amphora Original sits on my mantle as a reminder not to overcomplicate everything.- crowbait

Years of Pipe Smoking vs. Pipe + Tobacco Count
We all know about PAD and TAD but I got to thinking; what's the ratio between the number of pipes, number of tobaccos (blends and vessels) and years of pipe smoking. Purely curoisity driven, but I think it would be interesting to see if as there a correlation between years of pipe smoking and...- crowbait

Your Favorite Underrated Blend
Captain Black Dark Cavendish is a guilty pleasure of mine to be honest. I know is a dirt cheap dime-a-dozen tobacco but I've never had a bowl I didnt enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to write home about it or recommend it to everyone but its just an old reliable for me. I'm a big fan...- crowbait

Has Your Palate for Tobacco Changed Over Time?
Agreed, great little article. While I have a certain penchant for morphing tastes and preferences over time, I have always had an admiration for those whose tastes remain consistent throughout the ages. There's a contentment they have found that, if I'm being honest, is something that I believe...- crowbait

Your Journey With Nicotine
My great grandfather smoked a pipe and I always loved how pipes looked and the how relaxation it seemed to be for him, kicked back in his living room chair, having a bowl of Prince Albert. I was always interesting in smoking but never really partook save for a few snuck cigarretes or Backwoods...- crowbait

A quality roast, black coffee. Coffee is like tobacco: a high quality well put together roast and a well put together tobacco blend go hand in hand.- crowbait

How Often do you Really Need to Clean your Pipe?
I'm guilty of being on the less cleaning end of things for sure. For the most part after a smoke, I just knock out the dottle, give the bowl a quick swipe, and a stern blow through the stem (with the bowl facing down) to clear any ash from the draft hole. Thank being said, if something starts...- crowbait

Holding a Pipe in Your Mouth
I'm a clencher as well. I've found that bent pipes and soft tips are the ticket for me. I know soft tips aren't for everyone, but they work well for easier holding and letting a bent pipe also rest against the side of you chin.- crowbait

Cellaring question
I prefer to short wide mouth mason jars. Mine are 250ml (8 fl.oz volume I believe). I use some small Ol' Smokey moonshine jars so grab and go as well. I'll pack one tobacco onto several different ones to save me from having to open the entire amount of a tobacco to have a bowl. For a weekend...- crowbait

Do You Associate Pipe Smoking with a Sense of Spirituality?
I'm not Catholic but I found an arcticle by David Mosley to be interesting on this very subject. In it he notes: "It is this pace and this practice (of packing, lighting and attending too a pipe) that makes pipe smoking a welcome companion to contemplation." Full Article here for those that...- crowbait
