    If You Also Smoke Cigs, What Do You Smoke?

    man, now I am thinking about all of this. Follow me down the rabbit hole. Started smoking because it was cool. My dad smoked Larks til the day he died, and he died with various complications, but COPD was one of them. He was a heavy smoker, almost always had one in his mouth. I tried smoking...

    If You Also Smoke Cigs, What Do You Smoke?

    Haven't smoked a cigarette since 1990, and don't plan to go back. But reading these posts makes me think of various "flavors" of cigarettes. I smoked, in relative order of time / chronology (with overlap) Kent, Marlboro Red, Marlboro Lights, Camel Lights. I quit on Camel Lights. The taste, I do...

    Too Many Pipes?

    About 25 pipes right now. I smoke about half of them on a regular basis, and about half of that on a very regular basis. About 4-5 of my pipes are really awesome smokers, or at least I really enjoy smoking them specifically. There are about another 5 or 6 that I smoke to keep my favorites from...

    Oyster Rant

    Horrible Pipe Smoking Experience

    If it hasn't happened before, and happened while smoking the pipe, it likely isn't brain cancer and your pecker is probably still attached. Nicotine effects, and follow advice presented above for the same.

    Rut Row.. I Think I Messed Up My Pipes

    Most of my pipes are dull, anymore. part and parcel of handling them and smoking them. I wipe them down with olive oil when i clean them, but that factory shine I don't get worked up over.

    Cheap Ageing Jar Prices

    I don't worry too much about the type. Whatever ever is where I am at with the wife at the time. Have found adequate jars at the grocery, big box store, dollar store, and craft store.

    Fusiliers Ration...

    Thought I would scare a few buyers away with the "flagpole at half mast" thing, but my strategy failed to account for the old farts who mast was shot away years ago by the cannons of life....

    Comoys 185 "Tiger Eye"

    I have bought two estates from smokingpipes. Both came out nicely, although the first had a very loose stem and that wasn't mentioned in the description. I fixed it easy enough, but it should have been indicated. I imagine they would have refunded if I would have pushed it, but it was not that...

    Fusiliers Ration...

    Smoking way too much of it. Glad I got two tins. You folks need to quit buying it, as it really isn't that good. Ghosts a pipe with the taste of kerosene and your flagpole will be forever at half mast.

    Comoys 185 "Tiger Eye"

    Estate bought off of Smokingpipes.com Sat there for a while, and I am surprised no one snatched it up, as it was under $50. The description mentioned "slight scratches on bowl" which I am unable to find, and it appears to be virgin. Wow.

    This May Not Be The Best Question

    I would go out in the garage and smoke with that little heater by your feet. Builds character, puts hair on your chest, and all of that.

    Having Some Beginner Troubles

    Remember, too, that "taste" is about 75% an olfactory experience. As well, personal body chemistry has some influence on how specific tobaccos "taste" or effect us. Like booze, cars, and women what I like or enjoy may not be your cup of tea at all. Lots of Virginia fans here on the forum. I...
