Running out of Tobacco
Ok -- I did not know when I wrote this that Borkum Riff Cherry Liqueur was the worst rated tobacco of any tobacco with more than 50 reviews on tobbacoreviews! The nightmare intensifies. To those of you sending me something for the stock -- thank you! I'll be in the US around mid-June. In...- Bwana Kiko

Running out of Tobacco
Not sure if anyone else has lived this nightmare, but the Kampala Pipe Club, which consists of me and anyone who drops by to smoke pipes at my house on Thursday nights, is facing some grim realities: We are at the end of the good tobacco. So, this week I scraped together the final bits – some...- Bwana Kiko

Pipe Abuse - Wicked Are the Ways of Men
I know I shouldn't confess the sins of others, but this one haunts me.... I once had a smoke with an esteemed older vicar in Nairobi, Kenya -- he got out his pipe and I got out mine and he offered me a pouch of aromatic tobacco. It was dim. I couldn't see well. I dipped in, and filled my...- Bwana Kiko

Server Issues?
I'm in Uganda which blocks many tobacco-related sites, so I use a VPN, but often I get a message that says "Oops, your IP address is banned." Then I have to change servers until it let's me in.- Bwana Kiko

East Africa Block Meerschaum
Beautiful 8! I have one of the same! Kiko stems suffer terrible oxidation! If you do decide to sand down through the oxidized vulcanite, you will probably lose the elephant logo. If you take this step you will need to apply Obsidian Pipe Stem Oil regularly and store it out of the sun. Cheers- Bwana Kiko

Weber Meerschaum -Info Sought
I'm not an expert on Weber, but I do know Kikos! Without citing any authority, I can say that my own experiential/anecdotal understanding is that the Tanganyika Meerschaum Corporation marketed their pipes under many other brands. So, my off- the- cuff take is that you have a mid- to late-50s...- Bwana Kiko

Do You Associate Pipe Smoking with a Sense of Spirituality?
"...Tobacco holds sway over the soul as much as it does the body. The qualities it takes in its various forms make it a near irresistible complement to the particular desire dominant in an individual’s soul. How we react to these forms says as much about our attitude toward those desires as it...- Bwana Kiko

Do You Associate Pipe Smoking with a Sense of Spirituality?
Absolutely. Regardless of your religious beliefs, most people in this forum would recognize that pipe-smoking done properly is not simply a technical activity, or a chemical one. If it were, one might as well raise and lower a pipe to their mouth like an automaton and pop a nicotine pill...- Bwana Kiko
