    Different pipes for different tobaccos, Myth?

    I think the easiest example of how a glass effects taste for the novice is the cocktail glass also known as a martini glass. That shape first lowers surface area which keeps the drink colder for longer. But that odd shape not only makes it easier for the drinker to sip the drink then to chug it...

    Different pipes for different tobaccos, Myth?

    yes but less impactfully then technique does. And some pipes just seem to like certain types of tobacco more then others. Hell even if there was no mechanical physics type difference there would be a psychological effect. Think for example how a heavier pipe would impact your perception of the...

    Battle of McCVirginias

    frankly compared to other groups that meet online, pipe smokers seem down right agreeable, minus a few weird exceptions that are often remembered years later after they get kicked off the forum for their inability to not be jerks.

    Dunhill Fuel Adapter

    I take it English isn't you're first language.

    Why are estate pipes ok?

    I think the postman wanted to do some quality assurance and took one for the team, and risked his well being by smoking the pipe before letting it get to you.

    Old Charatan's Make Commercial

    pipe porn is like the other kind in the fact that it's nice to see something the first time, but if it's good the second through 2000th viewing is nice too.

    My father's Dunhill Root Briar 52821

    The Kiko is a good one. It's African Meerschaum which is a great material for pipes, but won't color with smoking the way a Turkish Meerschaum would. Though as far as making money off it... not as valuable but as far as a pipe that is good it's one of those. Nice pipe and otherwise then the...

    Send Letters to Your Representatives: Here's a Sample

    You reminded me of one of the weirder experiences I had writing congressmen and senators I had almost 20 years ago. I've written quite a few letters and you often get back a generic form letter stamped by an intern (or staff). One time I actually had a shockingly honest and thoughtful back and...

    Seattle Pipe Club Vegas show announcement.

    You have. I think it's got something to do with horses and generosity. You added a cl in that description that is misleading.

    Escudo Cellaring Question

    Just check the seals every once in a while. If the seal is broken you can open the tin by hand the normal way. Just don't use a ton of force like that guy that didn't know the coin trick (that was me).

    Seattle Pipe Club Vegas show announcement.

    what the hell is up with Jello Shots. I hate those things yet this is the fourth time they've come up in conversation in the last three days. Why would you seem like a decent guy and bring up those abominations in a publicish forum? On the topic of Depeche Mode I knew an idiot that thought...

    1965 ad

    they were "cigars" but basically cigarettes with capin black tobacco. They weren't bad and they weren't great.

    Even more from '48

    thanks. I could spend all day looking at ads like this. Not just for tobacco just any from that time period.

    My Epiphany About the Importance of Packing

    I've been smoking a pipe since 1994 and I still get to figure out new things that make it a bit more enjoyable. Packing though might be the hardest thing to explain to a new smoker. The second hardest thing to explain is that their idea of a slow and gentle isn't any where close to what's...

    Greeting from the mountainside

    That is what I look for in an aromatic pipe tobacco. Sounds awesome.

    Available tobaccos - Northern-Italy, French Riviera

    the seven seas blends are awesome in my opinion. Great aromatics I could smoke the heck out of.

    English tobacco.

    From my understanding which could be inaccurate. The term English started with the American market. It also stemmed from a misunderstanding that additives couldn't be used instead of specific additives were banned. Mainly ones that could be used to falsify the leaf origin and qualities. Some...
