    Explaining My Absence, The Death of My Wife

    I'm so very sorry for your loss, I also took a break from the site for a while while I was losing my mother to stage 4 stomach cancer recently.

    RIP Lady Fire

    What a shock. I can't even imagine what he is going through. I would be completely lost.

    Mellowest Unflavored Burley Blends?

    It's crazy how people are affected differently by tobacco. Pretty much every blend you listed as giving you a sore throat are smooth to me, especially Pegasus and Old Joe Krantz Blue. Not many other burleys to recommend to be honest. Perhaps go the whole leaf route or try Ken Byron Ventures. I...

    Do You Know About "Magic" Pipes and Do you Have One?

    My trusty IMP bent bulldog has been with me through thick and thin, and will smoke anything I put into it like a champ. It's strangely resistant to coloring, but I take that as a challenge rather than a knock against it.

    Are Falcons Worth It In 2024?

    Love them, they were my exclusive driving around pipes for years. They're not miracle pipes, but they are tough little work horses.

    Out of Pipe Cleaners

    I'm sorry, but that sounds absolutely vile. 🤢

    Let's Discuss this Forum

    I like seeing the difference of opinions and gentle back and forth ribbing. Some people aren't the best with the written word (me included) and it can be difficult to get across what you actually feel/mean. I think as long as people remember not to take things too personally, and to not...

    Thoughts on the following and describe them

    I think you'll find that to be true about most C&D blends.

    Columbus, OH Pipe Clubs

    Sorry, waste of time in regards to pipes. They have lots of great cigars there, but their lounge is quite a bit smaller than the one in Dublin. I didn't mean to imply the business was run poorly or anything like that. I'll look into Cowtown Pipe Club, thanks!

    Columbus, OH Pipe Clubs

    Their lounge is huge! I'll add that to the list, and noted! I'll report back here with my findings.

    Thoughts on the following and describe them

    I smoke a lot of Briar Fox and Pegasus. Briar Fox is surprisingly more Virginia forward to me than it is Burley. Pegasus is just easy smoking goodness.

    Columbus, OH Pipe Clubs

    Hi all, we recently moved to the Columbus area and I was in search of some smoking buddies. I've been to the Tinderbox in Easton (waste of time) and the one in Dublin, but no one there knew anything about pipe clubs. I haven't checked out Barclay yet.

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    Then why are you here?

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    I was under the impression that a pipe smoking forum is the perfect place to share your thoughts about things like this.

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    I don't really see that at all. Usually it's people patting themselves on the back for not being interested in a blend. Take what you want out of it, customer experience is a real thing. Ego has nothing to do with it.

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    I think it's more jumping through hoops to give them money for over an hour, only to find a sold out screen waiting for you is a waste of time and rather annoying. Also, to the people that feel so high and mighty for not having any interest in a small batch, OK? Good for you, I guess? This...

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    Finally got through the waiting room only to find it was all sold out. How annoying, SP really need to figure their side of things out, especially if they're coming out with new Small Batches every other week.

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    Yeah, I spent about an hour refreshing and trying to checkout. I just want 2 tins, this is ridiculous. I think I'm done with special releases and small batches for good.
