Favorite Pipe Smoking Musician
For me, it's gotta be Albert King, the late bluesman with the left-handed Gibson "Flying V" who influenced many of my 60's favorite bands (like Cream) and was known to play in a cloud of pipe smoke (see below). I still get off on "Crosscut Saw" and "Red House" after all these years.- jcosmoasp

Pipe Lighter Pros, Cons, Recommendations
My practical choice for outdoors (where I smoke) is a folding BIC butane grill/fireplace/candle lighter. They're about $4 at Safeway, and ratchet into three positions, including one that points close enough to straight down to make initial lights and relights a breeze. Actually, in a breeze...- jcosmoasp

Adding cognac/whiskey to tobacco?
I'd be inclined to try a eye dropper with a bit of bourbon, and distibute the drops about--then mix and close it back up for a a while.- jcosmoasp

How to use flakes
I prefer the fold and stuff, with a smaller layer of a ready-rubbed drier tobacco on top. Lights easy and burns to grey ash. Usually one pipe cleaner toward the bottom of the bowl, and does not flame out with judicious tamping. I tamp and flip the loose ash out of the bowl, and resume my...- jcosmoasp

Favorite pastime while pipe smoking.
Whiskeymick, I also play mandolin (bluegrass, not Vivaldi), a Gibson F9, but I hesitate to call myself a musician. I can't see smoking a pipe and playing simultaneously--at least not without biting through a bit. I've been playing old Flatt and Scruggs for a year or so--since I started...- jcosmoasp

Favorite pastime while pipe smoking.
In the "man cave" (garage) after work, I drink bourbon and beer, read some of the 20 or so periodicals I receive monthly, and listen to Dennis Miller, Michael Savage, and Mark Levin on AM radio. I have one large pipe before supper, then stoke a canadian or a cob for a two mile walk with my...- jcosmoasp

Pictures of my pipes
cortezattic: Here's the stem and shank detail from the Ben Wade #100 Freehand: It cost me $100.00 in an ebay "best offer" auction. No matter what it may be worth, I can't imagine ever parting with it. -
February 2010 - What are you smoking?
Found a good deal on full pounds of Balkan Sasieni ($33.00) at: http://www.pipetobacco.com/page/pipet/PROD/WBBS Mine arrived yesterday in a large ziplock bag, and I put it into another until I can find some canning jars this weekend. It reminds me so much of Balkan Sobranie, which I enjoyed in...- jcosmoasp

Pictures of my pipes
Thanks, Kevin, for fixing that post. I did as you suggested the first two tries, but the post only showed "img" or something like that. I then used an alternative link that photobucket provides, and that worked. By then, there were two, as the first try had appeared as well. I'll do it as... -

10 to Midnite and Classic Burley Kake
I'm glad it worked for you. I liked the idea of combining two tobaccos in one bowl, using mainly intuition to determine the pairing for flavor and aroma. Also, in a recent post in "Duplex Loads", I've described used an easier-lighting, but seemingly compatible tobacco as a small starter...- jcosmoasp
