    On Smoking Slowly and the Benefits...

    Thanks Cosmicfolklore , I try and keep cadence in my mind when smoking as I know I smoke too fast but then I find myself stressing about it and smoke faster. Its an ongoing labour that I will master as I definitely get a better appreciation of the flavours of my tobacco when I slow down.

    You ole Codger...

    Codger also infers a lifetime of real learning and therefore someone to be respected. At least that's what I want to believe as I hurtle towards 50.

    What is Appealing about Pipe Smoking?

    The ritual and reflection time the thing for me, it has a real nostalgic feel and forces me to slow down giving me the breathing space to reflect on the day, only smoke in the evening. My day always seems to be going 100mph until I get my pipe, tobacco etc out and it just feels I enter a...

    Know Anyone Who's Quit Pipe Smoking?

    I smoked 40 cigs a day until the UK RN banned smoking on submarines, sensible approach, in 2010. Last year I came to the end of my 'at sea' service and now I am stationed permanently ashore. However rather than pick up what I now regard as an unpleasant habit I fortunately came across the pipe...

    Pipes as collectibles

    The notion of not smoking them is beyond my simple comprehension.

    How many bowls from a 50g tin?

    I'm still relatively new to this hobby so packing is probably not a stable variant as yet, but I've been getting 15/16 bowls per 50g tin of ribbon cut.

    First English Blend

    Love the way so many are replying to me using the malt comparison alongside tobacco taste. Helps me believe I'm on the right track. Only a month into my tobacco adventure but 30 years along the whisky trail and still finding new tastes all the time. Pretty sure after your responses by pipe...

    First English Blend

    I'm a little scatter gun on the tobacco choice and just opening a tin of what I feel like at the time. Being relatively new means there is a huge selection in all categories for me to choose from. Intention will be to stay that way and have started cellaring a equal spread of tobaccos.

    First English Blend

    Definitely believe I now know what latakia smells/taste like. Once I got over the surprise enjoyed it, will definitely not hideaway from latakia or perique

    First English Blend

    Nautical? Great descriptor for what I was tasting. Islay malt whisky has the same general feel. Thx

    First English Blend

    Well, after 2 months in the hobby smoking aromatics I thought I'd have a go at an English Blend. Bought a tin of Chieftain Blacksmith and got excited about trying something new. Wow, I'm still not sure to how to describe the experience. The aroma was so different with such a strong distinct...

    Time to Taste the Benefits of Cellaring?
