    Comoy And Chacom

    Are these two brands related? And how?

    Morgan Radiator Bones

    Just wondering if anyone have one of these a try. I like that it's unique but the style just doesn't appeal to me.

    Smoking Pipes .com

    I'm sure just like most of you, I have made a few purchases from Smoking Pipes. I've never at all had any problem with them. And when I receive my order, a flyer comes with it stating that my old pipes can be worth money or a credit. So my question, has anyone done this? Is it a good deal...

    Proprietary Names?

    In short, if I go into a tobacco shop and get an ounce of "xyz", then go to another and see a jar labeled "xyz", is it the same?

    Replacing Stem

    I tend to clench the stem of my pipe with my teeth. Obviously over time, my teeth mark up the stem. So my question... What's the best way to replace a stem? Should I go through the manufacturer of the pipe? Is mismatching the pipe and stem frowned upon?

    Understanding Specific Taste

    Considering that most tins of tobacco are blends of some degree, what's the best way to figure out what I actually like? I read on these forums, "I like VA's", or "I like Burley". My question is, how do you know unless you start trying pure examples of these? It seems like a lot of this is...

    When you get towards the bottom of a bowl, do you stir it up to get to everything, or is keeping that top layer of ash important for some scientific purpose?

    Days Of Sobriety

    Probably not even the right website to post these type of conversations, but I am on day 101 of sobriety. I was politely asked to stop drinking by several government agencies and my job. I am finding my pipe use to be a handy tool in this journey. I wandered in to a local cigar bar yesterday...

    B&M's in Jacksonville FL

    I'm looking for a good pipe/tobacco store in the Jacksonville, FL area. I have of course googled and yelped my way around the city and found nothing worthy of mention. It's just hard to believe, that in such a large city (the largest, in area, in the U.S.), doesn't have at least one dedicated...

    Colors In Pipes

    So this might seem like a little bit of an oddball question... Why don't pipes come in more colors? I understand that they are wood, and black and brown seem more traditional but it seems like small pops of color would be a little more popular. Is there a logical reason for this or are they...

    Bamboo

    As a new pipe smoker, I don't have a ton of experience. I have been looking at a lot of pipes lately and seeing what speaks to me. I love the look that bamboo brings to certain pipes. My question for the group is, how functional is bamboo? Does it age well, is it fragile? Thanks for your...
