    Question to Our Mustachioed Members

    I can grow a beard, but my moustache game is weak. Men on my fathers side of the family (Punjabis) grow thick mustaches and I’d say it’s a 50/50 split between my cousins if they choose a western style, like your typical Victorian Era British Officer’s moustache, or a more South Asian style. All...

    Help! What on earth did I just buy?

    Thank you, all of you for your knowledge and help! I owe my wife some present, what a nice find!

    Help! What on earth did I just buy?

    Wow, what luck! Now I have to learn how to replace it without ruining it. To searching the forums I go! Also, I tried drawing on it (please no one judge me) a bit of a hard draw, maybe from the stuck piece, but also a tiny bit ghosted, is there a different protocol for helping a ghosted meerschaum?

    Help! What on earth did I just buy?

    So, this Saturday afternoon, my wife and I are going through a couple antique stores, which we do monthly or so. As I’m looking through a stack of books, my wife says “I’ve found a weird pipe, want to see it?”. Of course I answer in the affirmative, and she shows me what I’ve attached below. I...

    Karjala beer? I enjoy the Säkkijärven polkka so much I've got to give it a try

    What Are You Drinking? August 2023

    Tea. Lots and lots of tea. Maybe if there’s any Irishmen on the forum this can make a stir: Barry’s is better than Lyon’s. Hands down.

    Molto Dolce

    In my opinion, Molto Dolce is the perfect name for this blend, it really is "molto dolce". When I first got my tin, and opened it, the scent was heavenly. The tobacco was so moist, that I really thought I was making a rookie mistake by immediately packing a pipeful, but the scent was too...

    Thoughts From Millennials or Younger

    Pipe smoking is usually not a cheap habit. The days are mostly gone where good pipes are cheap, and a pipe smoking man has only one or two OTC blends that he smokes. I love (and hate) reading reviews that have been written about the OTC blends, PA, Half and Half, Captain Black etc., and marvel...

    Thoughts From Millennials or Younger

    I’m 27. I’m not sure if I’d necessarily encourage the men in my circle who don’t use tobacco already to start smoking a pipe. I unfortunately started smoking cigarettes as a teenager, a pack a day smoker by age 18. A pipe is a much better, and much more enjoyable way of consuming tobacco. I love...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

    Beautiful pipe! I'm a Catholic man myself ;), but I've been eyeing nabbing a tin of Presbyterian Reformed for a night time smoke, or Presbyterian Ordained as a straight Virginia for my bent Peterson Rusticated Derry.

    New Zealand - Pipe Tobacco Guidance Sought.

    And here I sit thinking of how insane tobacco regulations are in the States. I know that pipe smoking went through an unfortunate decline in the second half of the 20th century, but has New Zealand really lost so many pipe smokers that such a law could be passed? Or is the government so...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

    Is that the same (meaning somewhat same style) of Dark Fired tobacco that a certain moist snuff brand is selling now? The pipe tobacco is of superior quality, I'm sure, just wondering.

    Other Than You- What is Your Town Famous For?

    Glad to know there's even more pipe smokers in the area! It seems every other week I run into or find another one here in Rock Co.

    Wisconsin: The Happy Piper

    I live within walking distance of this place. The man is very knowledgeable when it comes to pipes and cigars, and I try to give them all my business, even if it means paying more for a tin than I would online. About the quote from the Gazette about not smoking inside the establishment. The...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Wish I had taken a picture, but didn't. I was looking for a good stick for cheap, usually a hard search. When it comes to cigars, for me darker is better. My tobacconist suggested the Flor de Oliva Maduro. It was love at first puff (picture I found on the internet)

    Occasional pipe smoking with canker sores

    I get canker sores once in a while. In the past I never cared and would smoke as usual, now I try to give it sometime to heal. Sometimes I'll have one during the day, and awake the next morning to find it gone, and I can get up, have a cup of tea and my morning pipe. I never have tried any home...

    Other Than You- What is Your Town Famous For?

    The town in which I currently live, Janesville, WI, is known for Abraham Lincoln haven given a speech and slept here one night. We had a General Motors Assembly Plant from 1919, until 2009, which caused many blue-collar families in the area much pain when it closed. Nearby Edgerton, WI, where...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

    My daily rotation is as follows: In the morning, My Peterson Rusticated Derry with a pure Virginia or VaPer blend. Until I buy another tin of something more fancy, it’s either a bowl of Prince Albert or Half and Half (Yes I know Half and Half is half Burley). Afternoon: An Aromatic in my...

    How Books Taught Europeans to Smoke

    “Smoking was an entirely new concept to the Europeans who encountered people in the Americas using tobacco. These Europeans sometimes described it as “drinking smoke.”” I grew up bilingual or trilingual, and one of my hobbies is studying foreign languages. “Drinking smoke” caught my eye as in...
