    Hearth & Home Ambassador's Blend

    Tin: When I first smoked this tobacco, popped the top and peeled the tin open, my mind instantly went back about twelve years to a fire in the Suisun California marsh. The leaf cut isn't super long, just a bit larger than most RYO tobaccos. It's a little on the dry side, but still springy. The...

    If I made an attempt at a tobacco review...

    Would a veteran pipe smoker be willing to approve it before I posted it? I don't want to post something publicy, thinking it is the cat's pajamas, when it reality, it's poor. I've never done a review before, but I'm looking to give it a go. If anyone would be kind enough to look over a future...

    Ye Olde Briar Shoppe

    I was visiting the bay area the other day, and decided to stock up on some more tobacco from Ye Olde Briar Shoppe in Vallejo. I bought 4oz of a great Balkan that doesn't have a name yet, 4oz of Peaches And Cream, and 2oz each of Irish Cream, and California Gold. The owner blends everything...

    I've been negligent

    Forgetting my pipes, a couple of packages, and just been avoiding things lately. I started smoking nails again. It started when I was at my cousin's and I didn't have my pipe and tobacco with me. I bummed a smoke off him, and got hooked on nails again. Just came across a reminder that I wrote...

    Sutliff Sunrise Smoke/Update/vent

    I was going to post multiple threads but decided they were too similar which is why I'm keeping it in this one... I haven't been in the best of moods lately because I'm turning 26 this week and I don't have a job. I have a slough of mental issues, the main ones being Schizophrenia and mild...

    I might be just another...

    ...one that slips off the grid here, but I thought I'd at least give a brief heads up. I've been losing interest in things lately, mainly pipes and guitars, which surprises me. I'm living on my uncle's couch at the moment and am fed up with my cousin. Let's just say there was a time I needed...

    Slightly sad

    John T's Gifts, a small chain local to the California Bay Area, closed one of their few locations. My first interest in pipe tobacco. This particular location was located in Fairfield, at the Solano Mall. I would always walk in as a kid, because they sell other gifts and novelties like swords...

    I'm the only pipe smoker I know personally, so...

    I was wondering how good pipe tobacco smells on the clothes. I rarely go into town, so I'm not always around too many people, and since I'm the only one in the family that smokes tobacco pipes, I've never detected what pipe smoke smells like when it sticks to clothing. I know that cigarette...

    Just found a camel spider in my house

    They call them camel spiders because they supposedly chase camels in the desert, in hopes of burrowing inside the camel's body. There's a famous photo of this creature online, that was exagerated. The famous photo makes it look like the thing is waaaay larger than it realy is. If you look...

    Pipe stem to shank issue

    I'm still kinda new to pipe smoking, so I don't know all the terms related to my issue. Anyway, where the stem meets the shank, the connecting hole only matches up halfway. It's vertically out of line. Is this normal, or was this a poorly drilled pipe?

    I was told that English blends smell like an old burning house

    If this is true, I think that this blend(Solano Special) I got in Fairfield CA is an English. Whatever it is, I love it. It doesn't taste like any of the aromatics I've tried so far, and I've tried maybe 10 in the past couple of weeks. Just my two cents on it.

    Peter Stokkebye question

    Hello everyone. Yesterday I purchased two Peter Stokkebye blends: Nougat, and Natural. I'm having trouble finding out whether they're English, or aromatic blends. I asked the guy behind the counter, but he had no idea. I purchased the tobacco from a head shop. Since I'm new to pipes, I'm wanting...

    Anyone ever get tobacco at John T's?

    What did you think? Would you go back? Edit: Moved to: PIPE TOBACCONISTS - B&M'S AND INTERNET RETAILERS, L.

    If you could live the story of any book...

    what would it be? For me, it would have to be "The Sun Also Rises," by Ernest Hemingway. Wine, fishing, and a bunch of jovial expatriates gallivanting around Europe.

    Captain Black tastes good, but...

    It goops. If it weren't for the goop, Captain Black would be my favorite tobacco. When a tobacco goops, I get as mad as I do when a fly won't let me sleep. I often want to give up pipe smoking all together. I just finished a small supply of 1Q, which didn't goop at all, and now I'm left with a...

    This had bad news written all over it

    Here's a meandering from this morning: I went downstairs to get a soda. My dad is up visiting for the weekend, and his cigarette tray was downstairs near the refrigerator. There lay an 8oz bag of JPS pipe tobacco. Right away, I knew it was a bad idea, seeing as it was being used for cigarettes...
