    Starting a Tasting Journal: Coupalla Questions

    Other than writing down what tastes (if any) I get from a blend, is there anything I should be noting in a journal? The idea is to build and train your palate right?

    Are You Country or City?

    Just curious, with the diverse makeup of this forum: Would you consider yourself more of a country person or a city person? Not necessarily where you live, but where are you happiest? Like the wide open spaces and fresh air? Or do you need the bustle and sounds of a city?

    Where To Start: Classic (Codger) Blends

    Smokingpipes.com comes through again, and these pouches were delivered to my hotel in Florida with no problems, no drama. Where to start? I'm going right back to the basics as I have to relearn everything. Where would you recommend a total newbie to start?

    Anyone Ever Had to Learn Everything Again?

    I've admittedly been away from the pipe for a while, a long while. Lots of changes in the past few years have made free time a rare resource. Anyway, had a neighbour over the other night and put some Afternoon Delight in an estate Nording I had and it was  Comical. I could not keep it lit to...

    Codger Blend Sample Pack?

    Heading off to Florida for a week, and was thinking of getting some of these mailed to the hotel to take home with me. Any other suggestions? I'd love to get some SWR but they are sold out of the smaller pouches.

    Show Me Your Walt Disney World Pipes

    Does anyone have a collection of Walt Disney World pipes? I was half looking for one as I will be heading there next week, but never found a good one. I remember reading they were made by Dr Grabow? I'd like to get a shot of the tobacconist as it is now, I think the Indian is still out front?

    Heading To Florida Next Week: Orlando Recommendations?

    Heading off to Orlando next week with the family to broil in the sun. We have Disney and Epcot planned, NASA museum, and maybe a dolphin sightseeing trip. Any off the beaten path suggestions? Any good spots to eat?

    Halfway Through July: How's Your Summer so Far?

    I sit here in disbelief that there is only about 2 weeks left of July. I'm not quite sure where the summer is going. How's everybody doing? Anyone have trips on the go or summer projects? Got back from Rochester a few days ago, visited the Strong Museum of Play. Highly recommend that place if...

    IMCO Help please

    Guys am I crazy or has the flint fallen out from my Imco? I can't get it to spark, and I think the flint must have fallen out or gotten lost. There should be something where the pencil is point to correct?

    If A.I. Designed/Named/Blended A Tobacco

    Much in the news lately about AI-Generated images, text, and videos. It got me thinking (a dangerous proposition at the best of times), what would an AI-generated pipe blend be called, taste like, and what would the tin art be? I'm tempted to say it would be a mix of every codger blend out...

    Whats Your Lawn-Mowing Blend?

    Here's a different one for you guys. Do you have a go-to blend for just filling a cob with and enjoying while mowing a lawn? I'm looking for something without too much complexity, as I won't be searching for nuance, and stays lit. Something like a solid go-to, not too much of a nice hit. Any...

    Whats in Your Time Capsule?

    I'm doing some renovations in our basement, which will entail framing a new wall in front of an old one. The finished project will have 2 banks of built in shelving with an electric fireplace in between. I though it might be fun to put a 'time capsule', no larger than a shoebox, inside that...

    Peterson's New Line is Made from Particle Board?

    Recently purchased a new Peterson Prince from one of our esteemed online vendors. Lines looked great in the photos, with a nice golden/honey stain. While I was giving it a more detailed look in the bowl, I noticed something off with the graining, and poked at it. I'm pretty sure this is MDF, or...

    Everything, Everywhere, All At Once is Rediculous

    I just don't understand the ultra-hype. My wife was insistent that we watch it this weekend, and we found it on Prime. The general idea of multiverses is interesting for a sci-fi fan like myself, but everything comes at you so fast, and with nothing linking it together that it becomes a chore...

    New Delay in Posting Responses?

    Noticed this while posting this morning. Usually it would say "Just Posted" or something like that. Now it gives me an ETA on when it will get shown. Anyone else notice this?
