    I Have Been Holding Out on You Guys

    I've been hoarding 1Q. My apologies. <font>I'm not sorry.

    Few Questions After First Smoke...

    @ravkesef I'm imagining new pipe smokers burning baby's cheeks with their ridiculously hot pipes. And the chaos that ensues after the parents get there hands on the newbie. Thanks for the image. :rofl: Tongue burn will come from smoking too fast, you'll learn to curb that after burning your...

    Beyond 1Q

    I like Butternut Burley better than 1Q because the flavor is more pronounced. 1Q is very soft and can get lost if your mind wanders. Or Blue Note. Sweet gravy of the gods Blue Note is delicious. Can't put my finger on the flavor but I am a fan.

    Sampler Pack With Some Variety

    P$C has some sampler packs but they're all over the place. They used to have a really great one, but replaced it with picking the 1.5oz tins instead of the 2oz samples. It's still okay I guess. Someone should do a 1 ounce sample of a wide array of blends. The goal is to try as many as possible...

    Rescuing Mystery 'Baccy

    I've seen a lot of tobacco with various spirit influences, but never Tequila. I wish someone would give tequila the love it deserves.

    Your Favourite Online Store

    P&C all the way. I haven't heard a damn thing about BNB tobacco. Their site looks a little old-school and I already have great sites which take care of me. BnB Tobacco is a site sponsor but there's next to zero buzz about them on the forums. Anyone deal with these folks?

    Extreme Cheapskates.....Pipe Smokers Edition?

    Have you done the math on the pipe cleaners that come in coils? Might be worth a look. Figure out the cost per inch of pipe cleaner and all that.

    Nic Hit

    Also, everyone will absorb the nicotine in their blend at different rates. Due to body chemistry and PH levels some will be able to feel the nic hit very quickly and will need to smoke much slower. Others will have a slow absorption and will be able to enjoy the bowl at a normal pace all the way...

    A Newb Tobacco Question

    Shit, I read OP's post as a cigarette smoker, not a CIGAR smoker. My whole post is null and void lol Ignore me, I'm hideous! Edit: @Craig Don't give up on cigars lol Why not love both? Alec Bradley's Black Market Cigars are my current Go-To's. They're too delicious to ignore. :puffy:

    A Newb Tobacco Question

    Drug store blends might be an easy step for a former cig smoker(I was in the same boat). Some say they have a bland flavor, others can really dig the nuttiness the burley offers in these blends. I haven't tried them all, but I haven't come across something that's been worth turning my nose up...

    Molto Dolce - Swamp!

    I smoke most goopy, but delicious, blends in cobs. I hate gooping up wood pipes and the cobs handle wet tobacco like no other pipe can. Get a cob, witness the NeverGurgles in action. NeverGurgles: Doesn't ever F***ing gurgle. I've never heard of a cob having a moisture problem in which you...

    Craft Beer

    I love any beer with flavor. This rules out MOST "Domestics". Over the last week someone gifted me a seasonal assortment of blue moon beers. I know it's made by the evil big beer guys, but damn were there some tasty ones in there. I buy flavorful beers when I can but when at a bar and options...

    Oh Pipes and Cigars..

    Waiting for December to hit to make a large purchase. 20% off Hearth and Home tobaccos is delicious.

    A Public Service Announcement to Harris and Those for Whom the Shoe Fits.

    Who's got the link to the thread where I can figure out what's going on here? Utterly lost.

    Plume Finally,

    How would you compare your one year aged penzance to back when it was fresh? Huge change? More pungent? More one-dimensional? (one-dimensional can be delicious, not a bad thing)

    Cleaning With Wine?

    Clean it as best you can, and smoke it with something else until the ghost goes away. Most ghosts of mine are welcomed friends. If yours is unpleasant im sorry, but depending on your pipe and the ghost... you could be stuck with it for a while. Just smoke it to death with something else...

    No One Said Anything About My Pipe Smoking!

    Brain read title as, "Now, no one said anything about my pipe smoking! As if the pipe was smoking itself and you were astonished at the very idea of it. I need more coffee, or something. On Topic: People still rib me about my pipe smoking because they'll never get used to it. Used to the smoke...

    Do It Yourself Tobacco Press?

    It was determined, either in this thread or another, that any hand clamp device really isn't going to produce a flake for you, but would be adequate for any cake-like crumbly creations. The amount of force to make your own flakes would need more power than clamps could offer. I've had fun...
