    Switching from cigarettes

    I smoke pipes because they are great nicotine delivery system. I'd suggest you try only those blends which use leaves with a low nicotine content. Can't suggest any blends for you, sorry.

    Do pipes need to be “Broken In”?

    If you think so...Then, yes. I've had a few pipes which needed a couple of bowls before I got a satisfying smoke.

    Tobacco type vs pipe type, a beginner question

    The pipe is a personal experience. You can pretty much do what gives you a good smoking experience. Some like much ritual and complication. Others, myself among them, keep it as simple as possible. It's all about personal satisfaction. So, poke around the site then, set out to find what...

    Well I'm Fat Pt2

    I've offered anecdotally based observations intended to be responsive to what I perceived the OP's request for help/information. I think you need to parse the responses more closely. Many here are sympathetic to the OP's plight. Others are objectively offering up suggestions based on their...

    Well I'm Fat Pt2

    Of course. He posted, appearing to seek advice. Perhaps he's only posting just to post but, I seriously am offering, based on my experience of carrying extra pounds for many years and experiencing some of the manifestations he says he's experiencing. If he isn't seeking information why would...

    Well I'm Fat Pt2

    Certainly not healthful. I would never suggest something so radical unless the "fasting" were medically supervised and properly supplemented. Common sense alone should be sufficient to tell one that.

    Well I'm Fat Pt2

    Until you get serious and make serious, basic, changes in your lifestyle you're gonna be tethered to medical professionals. It's entirely up to you how you cope with the consequences of your personal choices. You have my sympathies but, certainly not my support. We are simply too different...

    Pipe Cleaning and Maintenance

    If the draw gets tighter than I like, I run a cleaner as needed. Otherwise I clean pipes on Sunday afternoon as required. I keep my pipes functional, not beautiful. For me, simple is best. Others like more immersion. Dome here I think turn pipe smoking and maintenance in a nearly full time job.

    Ken Dryden RIP

    And hips...residual effects of head trauma and my two upper front teeth rest on the pegs of the originals. Playing before masks were normal (available) I also sport a few facial scars. But, I "lettered" in hockey! Worth it! Some days yes and some days no. I will concede that Dryden is...

    Is It Just Me ?

    Sadly, TV is where some people get all their medical information. Well, that and the "always correct" Interweb.

    Is It Just Me ?

    Corporate lawyers require such disclaimers as part of liability proofing. Also, a lot of folks are not fully aware of their allergies. So, yes, your observation appears somewhat petty, not everyone is as fully informed as you project yourself to be. bdw I also enjoy respectfully probing my...
