    Adventures Into Blending

    This morning I received a selection of blending tobaccos from Gauntleys of Nottingham. 2 reasons. I wanted to taste individual tobaccos with the hope of educating my pallet and to tinker with my own blend. This evening after a days tasting I knocked together my first blend attempt. A virginal...

    Proud of My Achievement!

    It helps that I've been in and around the pub trade round my way since I was too young lol and if owners in the uk adhere to the laws, the smoking conditions ain't too bad. Unfortunately they've been screwed so bad financialy by the ban they can't afford to pay for 70% covered areas let alone...

    Black Coated New Bowl

    My new purchases this morning have an eve Matt black coating on the inside of the bowl/chamber. Is this to promote the cake? My previous pipes were bare wood. Sorry can't upload photo's at present

    Proud of My Achievement!

    Thanks vaboatbuilder. I've stepped right up and it's a buzz. He met my son this morning when we took some lunch round. The meals on wheels service he gets is admirable but the quality of food by the time it arrives really is just sustenance over enjoyment. I hope I'm not smothering the ole boy...

    Nic Hit

    This is not that uncommon with nic. Even when I smoked cigarettes on occasion I would "green out" like that. And that would be on my regular brand. I guess different variants thru the day make a difference. Don't let it put you off though. I class it the same as the time I had that one two many...

    Epic haul!

    Sorry to use a term used by some toe rag youth's there :-) My postie turned up at 9am with a lovely big parcel (ok I knew it was on its way) I'm currently enjoying my first taste of artisans in a new cob and looking forward to breaking in my 4 basket pipes, which look nice, and basket...

    Ammonia taste?

    Thanks rothnh. I'm glad you said that about over thinking. I did think it might be in my mind a little. You know. Got a whiff once and now just worried. I have 4 new basket pipes turning up tomorrow and I'm starting to build a couple of regular smokes so I shall dedicate pipes to blends. Thanks...

    Pipe Smokers in the UK

    Hey guys. I'm in Essex. I do all my shopping online as I have no local tobacconist. I've found gauntlets, black swan shoppe and Havana house all quick and efficient. Careys are quick to deliver pipes but only pet tobacco Mondays. Jeez. I've spent so much already. I'm only a month in!

    Ammonia taste?

    I've noticed recently with a couple of pipes that I'm getting a taste at the end f the bowl I can only describe as ammonia. I'll try and cancel out some variables and hopefully someone can help. I only use a pipe once in 24 hrs. I always clean with pipe cleaners after. It's happening with...

    Proud of My Achievement!

    Thanks guys. It was a fantastic evening. Such an interesting man, a squadron leader no less! What don't know about mostly everything ain't worth knowing. Apart from the Internet lol! He's amazed at the variety available and really excited to try his new orders arriving tomorrow. We had a good...

    Proud of My Achievement!

    Good afternoon chaps. These last couple of days my pipe smoking really has jumped up a gear. I am able to pack a pipe in my own fashion adopted from the reading I've done. I let the tobacco fall into the bowl instead of forcing, then tamp it down gently. No specific amount of times. Just till...
