    Tobacco Temperature

    A lot of times, I find myself needing/wanting to leave a bag of tobacco in my truck for long periods of time or overnight. Sometimes, the temperature ranges could be in the 30-50 degrees in the winter and 90-105 in the summer. I did some quick research and saw where it is recommended to keep...

    Meerschaum-lined Pipe

    Awesome! Just double-checking guys! He sent me about 5 different English blends to try, so I'm looking forward to getting the ball rolling with it. I think I'm going to designate that as my English-only pipe.

    Meerschaum-lined Pipe

    So, I was talking to a member on the forums and he volunteered to send me a pipe and some tobacco samples. I received the pipe today and it seems to be pretty nice! Definitely not complaining here, as I am very grateful, but the pipe is briar with a meerschaum-lined bowl. the pipe is old and...

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Thanks lestrout! Hmmmm, the bowl does seem to be fairly tall. Probably twice the height of my Medico.. and at $20 cheaper over at Finck's.. I may just pick it up. Also, just to let you guys know, a site member has volunteered to send me a pipe and some samples of tobacco free of charge! He is...

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Thanks roth! Will do! You've been a great help, as have the rest of you! Will post the pipe that I decide on right here once I do.

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Thanks for the suggestion roth! The Nording is winning the battle right now, the only thing is that I can't find any measurements. I want a medium-largish sized bowl, but the picture looks somewhat small to me.

    Brewshooter, I'll keep your post in mind when I make up some shopping carts full of tobacco soon! Thanks!

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Thanks fellas. At this point, from your suggestions and knowledge, I think the Nording natural pipe is in the number one spot right now. Followed by the Sav I mentioned well above (not the natural). Followed by either a Tsuge or the Lorenzo. I believe I'd be happy with any of them. The main...

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    roth, I really can't afford those Lorenzos right now.. much less 2-3 of them! So, the Lorenzo I posted may not be as high quality? What about the Meerschaum in the bowl? Positives/negatives?

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Great! I may grab a bag of them then. Thanks for the tobacco suggestion mctrav. I'll check it out! Also, has anyone heard of Lorenzo pipes? This one looks beautiful to me and for under $50: http://pipesandcigars.com/losppibemame.html#.UOtJKuR9KuI It has a matte finish, made in Italy. It is...

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Hmmmm.. maybe something like this would work.. I'd have plenty for a rotation, plus some to keep in storage! http://corncobpipe.com/index.php/specials/10-pipe-grab-bag-of-smokable-seconds.html But yeah, I'm still deciding between a Nording, a Sav, a Bjarne, and a Tsuge for a nice briar.

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Hmmm.. so really, any of these pipes will smoke much better than my cheap little Medico?
  13. P

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Hmmmm, I am liking the look of those Tsuge pipes. My decision is getting harder and harder. Financially, I am only in a position to purchase one pipe between $40-75 and then a couple of cheap corn cobs to get a rotation going. Also, I think I will make an order of about 5-6 blends from...
  14. P

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Although.. the looks of the Nording is kind of growing on me. It also says that the finish will age and darken.. So that could be a possibility.

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Hi rothnh, Thanks for the links! I like the shape of the pipes AND the price, but for some reason that "natural" look just isn't doing it for me. I just came across this one: http://store.pipesandcigars.com/bjviclpopiap1.html#.UOpBMOR9KuI What do you think?
  16. P

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Thanks lestrout! So I can't really go wrong with either huh? Thanks a lot! Good to have some justification for my order, and it helps so much to have people that are knowledgeable about the subject. I have learned the pipe smoking is really more of a lifestyle than a hobby. It seems that it...

    OR would this Peterson be a better buy? http://www.jamesislandpiper.com/store.php?seller=JamesIslandPiper&navt1=110811&navt2=110864&sort=price&pd=4890373

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Thanks flint! I'll check those out! So a member messaged me and told me to check out some estate pipes on this website: www.jamesislandpiper.com Are any of you familiar with this guy? Good/bad experiences? Should I swing for a nice estate pipe or a new one from there? If Estate, are there...
  19. P

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Wow, thanks for the quick responses guys! I will look into some Savinelli and Petersons.. not sure about the estate pipes. I wouldn't really know what to look for to know if it's in good smoking condition and would definitely not know how to do any repairs. Any more suggestions for...

    Second/Third Pipe - Boswell, other?

    Okay, so I'm 21 and I was smoking a cheap pipe I picked up from my cigar shop a couple of years ago, until I got a new girlfriend and she didn't really like the idea, so of course I threw it straight into the trash can.. I know, I know, you can dog on me for doing that. But, now a couple of...
