    Is Pipe Smoking Fading Into History?

    "Fading from history" is relative. From the view of the general public, yes, very much so. However, pipe & pipe tobacco production seems a live and well. When i think about the number of factories turning out pipes in large numbers and the all the artisans still commanding prices up into the...

    Cats & Pipes

    We've experienced all of this with our two cats, both have very unique personalities. Our cat Aki is playful and a goofball, but will get jealous when a lot of attention is paid to the other. Piper is very shy and leery of meeting new people, hides from thunder, but once you gain her trust she...

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

    Geometrie in a Nording Dublin. The way I cut the plug I'm having a hell of a time keeping it lit, so I'm not really tasting the blend. It's sort of a large cude cut and next time I'll pay more attention to cutting it in ribbons.

    Michigan Pipe Smokers

    I've been to K1 Speed in Oxford, but compared to other K1's around the country, its my least favorite. Haven't been to any other kart tracks around home. Some coworkers and i have talked about going to the speedway in Mason to see the demolition derby and the figure 8 racing, seems like so much...

    What is Appealing about Pipe Smoking?

    I listened to this as a podcast the other day, he goes deep into the science of nicotine, most it went over my head, but it was interesting none the less. FYI, he lumps all forms of smoking tobacco together. If you don't want to hear about the risks, don't bother, but if you want to know more...

    Michigan Pipe Smokers

    Hello fellow mitten members, a meet up sounds like a good idea. I was born in Tawas and raised in Hale during my pre-memory years. Then the fam lived in Marquette while my dad was stationed at K.I. Saywer AFB until I was in Kindergarten. After that we lived in Flint for a just couple of years...

    OGS Perique %?

    I had an opportunity to sit and smoke a large bowl of OGS last night. I put on a podcast and just took my time with it, sipping as much as possible. The first few draws before a lasting ember set in I had the same experience, but once I got into a slower rhythm, I came into a more citricy taste...

    How Often does Your Favorite Tobacco Change?

    I'm still to new to the hobby that I haven't smoked more than one tin of anything yet. My favorite so far has been Whimsical, but since that's just a limited product I'm ok with having had the experience. Capstan Blue I will buy more of, but I'll still trying out all sorts of stuff. To early for...

    More New Forums Members Than Ever? Why Is That?

    I found this forum shortly after i picked the pipe up just under a year ago. Youtube was my first source for info on the hobby, but this forum came shortly after when the personalities on YT just weren't intriguing/educational enough to continue watching. At the moment, this is the only place i...

    Finding my way...

    Is it possible to build a tolerance to nicotine? I've heard many veterans here talk about being more or less sensitive to it. I suppose it's like anything else that the body adapts to.
