    Can You Smoke The Same Pipe All Day?

    A common rule of thumb is to rest it 1 day for every bowl smoked.

    Bill Nye Debates Ken Ham

    If simply posting this video is in violation of the rule #6 against "Politics" please remove, and accept my apologies. I'm posting up this video for educational purposes. It was a joy to watch and to hear the arguments on either side to really further my understanding of the contended points...

    No, they are owned by Cigar International. Russ works there as a blender. And I'm sure he does other things. Read full story here: http://pipesmagazine.com/blog/pipe-news/pipesandcigarscom-acquired-by-cigars-international/#more-6738

    Most Expensive 100g Tin I've Ever Seen...

    Even if you're in America this price can be reasoned with. If I buy 3-4 good cigars at my B&M I'm gonna be close to the $30 mark easy. Lets say I get 5 hours of smoke time from the 4 cigars. You get so much more smoke time from a 100g tin. 3g per bowl, 45min per 3g comes to 25 hours of smoke...

    Kudos to Brian!

    I never said it was a GOOD idea... just an idea. I think if we try hard enough we could figure it out. For science!

    Kudos to Brian!

    Great show, listened to it over the weekend. Here's a question/scenario maybe Brian wants to kick around that shares a loose tie with your escudo review. We all know how to store tobacco in jars so that it ages well, but how would you suggest you store a tobacco if you DIDN'T want it to age. I...

    A Delightful Beverage!

    Speaking of mixing whiskey... Cream soda of your choice, 12oz, and 1oz whiskey of your choice. The wife can't get enough of it. ;) The men can do 2oz of whiskey. (sexist comment of the day!) Callback anyone?

    Indoor Smoking

    If you've never smoked your pipe indoors, you've never fully tasted the tobacco you've been smoking. It takes on a whole other dynamic than outdoor smoking. It's hard to describe.

    Newbie

    I think you'll find the blends you have there will blow your mind, and deliver flavor unlike anything you've ever tasted in the cigar world. You're off to a fine start, but should you come across any problems feel free to drop us a line. I would say to get some airtight jars that you can open...

    Opinion Sought: What Makes a "Good Smoker"?

    Half of the things mentioned here have nothing to do with how well a pipe smokes.

    Tobacco’s you have blended...

    Every shitty cherry blend I've ever tried... produced a decent smoke after I let it mellow. I recently just pooled all the samples of blends that I had that weren't extraordinary into an aromatic jar and an English jar. I put them all in a large bowl and mix them up, then put them in air tight...

    Lots of tamping, am I just packing it wrong?

    If you think you're packing is too light and the ember isn't touching unburnt tobacco then tamping should help. Or you can pack harder then you think you should. If that doesn't work try lighter, and lighter, and lighter. Roll it up in a ball, stuff it all in at once, cup it in your hand and...
