    Cob>Briar

    There is nothing about a cob that turns me off, but then again there is nothing that turns me on. As a hobby, there is more choices in style and shapes with briar, and overall I think tobacco tastes good in a briar. Some swear by Meerschaum and I don't have anything against them either. In fact...

    Cob>Briar

    Cobs are alright. I enjoy my Cobbit Shire occasionally, but overall I don't think cobs are all that and a bag of chips. I would rather have a cheap briar than a cob, but that is just me. Enjoy what you like.

    Dogs & Pipes

    Update: Our much loved Quincy crossed the rainbow bridge in April 2024. He was such a good dog. We miss him terribly. My wife had to have another dog so we now have a charcoal Labrador. She is salt and pepper and cuddles with my wife. Sleeps beside her. She loves to fetch and of course, do her...

    Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

    I imagine there are some out there that still have 300 rolls of TP left over from the Covid TP scare.

    Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

    If some actor or celebrity that the public adores is in a movie smoking a pipe, the next day pipe and tobacco sales would increase. Cigarettes got their foot hold on the public by the movie stars of the time being seem smoking cigarettes,

    Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

    My brother had a green and gold one in the 70's. It was sweet. I wish he still had it.

    Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

    I'm a big fan of V.I.P. Match. It reminds me of walking the woods when I was younger and chewing on a twig from a Birth Tree.

    Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

    I agree that STG makes some fine blends. I think most people just feel sadness that the America's oldest tobacco company will be no more. Change is never comfortable. We are watching the decline of a way of life. Tobacco farms have been a way of life for many. When I was a kid pipe smoking was...

    Yes, but try to get a Corvette into your pipe.

    Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

    If STG screws up the remaining 40% as badly as they did Sir Walter Raleigh, they won't be worth smoking anyway.

    On The Road To Slow Smoking

    It sounds as if you are doing great, my friend. I too am too organized and scheduled, which can be nerve racking with a wife who hasn't any concept of time. She likes to come in under the wire and I have to be 15 minutes early. That is what's nice about pipe smoking... just set back and enjoy.

    On The Road To Slow Smoking

    I never was much of a clock watcher because I felt it was not the reason I was smoking in the first place, which was relaxation and taste (mostly with my coffee). I always believed that we can super analyze what we are doing to the point we don't like it anymore. I have always paid attention to...

    Pipe Types and Why I Lean Towards Longstems

    I have a couple churchwardens and I smoke them occasionally. I prefer a large bowled pipe which I believe makes for a cooler and more flavorful smoke. If packed properly it allows more space for air in the bowl. I am probably totally off base, but that is what satisfies me.

    If you order from Milan, you won't get fancy packaging but you will get quality tobacco.

    How Biased Are Pipe Tobacco Reviews

    The trouble with some of the reviews is that they got their pipe and tobacco on Monday, smoked a bowl or two on Tuesday and are experts by Wednesday. You can tell which ones these are because they rewrite jimInks reviews but in a different way. Some of my favorites smokes are two star smokes...

    Milan Prince Albert and Carter Hall

    I thought that their Kentucky Club was very good also. I try to keep a container of it on hand.

    Milan Prince Albert and Carter Hall

    As a man who believes that a good cup of coffee and a pipe of Prince Albert is the perfect match. For many years this was my beginning of the day routine. Unfortunately when they moved operations for Prince Albert and Carter Hall to the Dominican Republic I noticed a decline in taste and...
