    Looking for a Good Port

    I'm surprised no one mentioned Warre's Warrior. It is my personal favorite. I told my wife I wanted a bottle of Taylor Fladgate 1863 single harvest and she said okay until she saw the $4000 price tag and smacked me in the back of the head.

    Social Smoke

    Up here in Canuck-a-stan you'll rarely see it as they passed the law that you cannot smoke in parks, in public meeting places, in restaurants or bars. You may only smoke alone in your basement, with the lights off, after 8pm, on weekends, with a permit.

    Christmas Tobacco?

    Do you have a favorite Christmas tobacco? I always find myself reaching for the Ennerdale this time of year. Watching those old english Christmas movies I always feel a strong english blend is suited for it. What is your go-to Christmas smoke?

    Are we talking flakes? Loose cut? Shag? For flakes, fold and stuff, but stuff lightly. For loose cut and shag follow the best advice I ever received..... Use less tobacco then you think you need, pack it looser then you think you need, and relight it more then you think you need. There is a...

    The Dangers of Alternating Tobaccos in a Single Pipe

    90% of my smokes are Virginas or VaPers and most of my pipes are "flake" pipes...... Small of bowl, narrower, etc. and I will smoke any Vig or Vap blend in them as my mood dictates.

    Alternative Tobacco Storage

    A nalgene water bottle would do well as well. That and you could use it to re-hydrate the tobacco as needed just by adding a few drops of water and setting it in a window. I used one for transporting cigars on my deployment with great success. Mylar is great but if you're a flake smoker then...

    How Do You Paint a Missouri Meerschaum Pipe?

    Believe it or not....... A plain sharpie works great on cobs. Colour it, let it sit for a few hours and voila!! No aftersmell, no rub off, and looks great. I've done a few danes and a couple of legends this way.

    Virginia/Perique Blends..... First Time Smoker

    Can't go wrong with bulleye flakes. A fun thing I tried was I ordered some straight perique and started adding a pinch of it to my regular tobaccos and trying that. McClelland 5100 red cake and perique is awesome.

    what is the ultimate travel pipe?

    +1 on the shortened Falcon. I have a straight and a bent (both shortened)and 3 bantam bowls and they fit perfectly into a small pelican case. Perfect for all kinds of traveling and safe to pack anywhere.

    Nosewarmers, hate?

    I love nosewarmers...... Probably 75% of my pipes are under 5" and several are under 4". I find regular length pipes to cumbersome for clenching and tend to swing around in my mouth.
