    Where do you smoke your pipe?

    Indoors and outdoors. The outdoors is mainly my back garden, where I can sit and whilst enjoying a good book can smoke my pipe. Indoors is no problem as there is only me! However, I tend to have as many windows and doors open until quite late in the day just for the ventilation. Occasionally...

    Are You a Pipe or Tobacco Person?

    Fifty/fifty at present. Having bought several pipes in the last year, I've also been buying new tobaccos in order to widen my experience. PADTAD are currently neck and neck in the pipe smoking race for me. I would say, however, that I think I should focus a little more on stocking up with the...

    Falcon Pipes

    Fairly new to the magazine, at least in terms of replies to forum topics. However, I've just read this about Falcons and thought I'd reply. I have three of them, a straight, curved and bent, with three extra bowls. I've found these pipes quite superb for smoking and, as has been said, they are...

    British Pipe Smoking Championships July 2014

    If this championship has already been mentioned-my apologies. It is being held in Newark, near Nottingham, UK , on Sunday 13th July, from 10.30am. It promises to be a great day, with a variety of retailers, makers and demonstrations plus the contest. Anyone thinking of going? This will be my...

    Looking at a Bulldog Pipe

    Hello. Haven't posted for a while. But found your post and thought I'd reply. I have an Invicta bulldog and it is a great smoker. Sturdy, compact and neat in shape, it fits comfortably into the hand and mouth. It draws well and smokes great. The thick walls give a cool smoke and the solid...

    What are You Smoking? January 1, 2014

    Been smoking Peterson's Irish Oak lately. Just lovely, with a rich, smooth and creamy taste. Only recently discovered this in a sample so decided I had to buy a tin. This has been a great find and I can heartily recommend it if you like a tobacco that has strength but softness as well. Composed...

    What are You Smoking? January 1, 2014

    Some Dark Flake No. 7 in a Tom Eltang Oscar, by Chacom. A great pipe and the tobacco is rich, heavy and chocolatey. Stays lit a good while and burns slowly. This has been a good evening's smoke at the end of the first day of the new year. George

    How Often and Where Do You Smoke

    As I also live alone, I can smoke in the house, though this is usually confined to the downstairs and with the kitchen door open, usually in all but the coldest of weathers. Often I simply stand at the back door and puff away, blowing the smoke out if the wind is in the right direction...

    EA Carey

    I have recently begun buying tobacco from EA Carey and very good it is too, in my opinion. A good range and quality, Danish made mostly, I think. You can also join their Tobacco Club if you want to make regular orders of tobacco.The service is excellent. They sell a range of pipes, from a wide...

    Ever Bought a Pipe You Regret?

    Yes, one or two have proven to be either difficult to smoke or just didn't feel good in the mouth. One recently bought has a mouthpiece so soft I can actually feel my teeth pressing it into the air hole inside and the mouthpiece itself is extremely cheap plastic. Didn't look that way in the...

    Opinions About a Peterson?

    I like Peterson pipes a lot. I have four of them at present, the latest being a bent Harp, smooth finish and silver banded. It looks and feels great, in the hand and in the mouth, with a good, wide fishtail mouthpiece. The only thing I've noticed is that it gurgles a lot at present (not had it...

    46 Pipes are Enough

    I have 13 pipes, with one more currently in the post. I aim to treat myself on my birthday next Spring to another and no doubt to a couple more throughout the year. However, I'm going to draw the line at twenty (he says) as I simply cannot see the point for myself of having more pipes than I...

    Another Falcon pic (man I luv this pipe!)

    I have three Falcons and they were amongst my first ever pipes (along with Peterson systems) when I began pipe smoking in earnest in my mid thirties. I like them a lot. They are light to hold, easy to pack and fire up, and great for cleaning out in a few seconds. Like a member above, I have...

    Peterson Lighter

    I am thinking of getting a Peterson as I like the look of its style. Currently, I use a Vector for initial lighting, but enjoy a Zippo for further lights-just enjoy flipping it and hearing that sound! Strangely, though I consider a match to be probably best as its flame is gentler, I have a...

    My thanks again to you all once again. Cigrmaster, re Best Brown Flake, St. James and Dunhill flakes - I will certainly look them up. I find flake tobacco so very satisfying! Must be the physical act of rubbing out that appeals! Good to have your advice-appreciated. And Kris, good to see another...

    Tobacco and Tea

    Earl Grey is a favourite, but also Assam. Like coffee, I prefer something with a decent taste to it, often in small, rather than large, liquid amounts. I don't drink alcohol at all, so I am very content with these two. First thing in the morning, with my morning pipe, I like a single espresso...

    Folks, I appreciate the warm welcome. Pipe smokers are very civilised and this great fraternity really does show off the best of our personalities! In the last few months I have gone from being an everyday, non-thinking smoker to a learner and developer, trying new tobacco blends, buying some...

I live near the city of Chester, in the county of Cheshire, UK. Retired teacher, love art, reading and gardening and, of course, a pipe. I have...
