    Something every pipe smoker knows, but (probably) never thinks about

    That is one of the beauties of capitalism. However, if I was a millionaire, I'd be smoking De Luxe Navy Rolls every day. I disagree with you in that my tobacco shelf would change very little.

    Every Cloud has its Silver Lining

    Lol. I live in Birmingham, so this is the only tobacconist in town. I think there is another one in Stirchley, but this is a little bit too far away from where I live.

    Every Cloud has its Silver Lining

    Today I had a blast at John Hollingsworth's (Birmingham). I usually buy my tobacco in Spain to avoid the tax burden in the UK, but I like buying all of my tasters in this tobacco shop before putting my order through so that I know what to expect. They are the only tobacco sellers in town, but...

    So What Constitutes a Good Pipe?

    I personally like small bowls for flakes (Virginias and VaPers) whereas I would normally smoke my Latakia based tobaccos (English and Balkan blends) on larger bowls. This is to say I've nothing against intrinsically large bowls provided they've been properly machined. One of the main points I...

    So What Constitutes a Good Pipe?

    I just want to point out I have noting to do with BriarWorks and that I am only giving my opinion on what I think constitutes a good pipe, but of course, it takes all kinds to build a freeway.

    I Bring You The Pipe Turds

    I am a teacher, and as such, I always stress out the importance of communication strategies. Say for example that John, who is a horrible student, never does his homework, plays up in the class and is always falling short of all expectations. When you write a note to his parents as a teacher...

    So What Constitutes a Good Pipe?

    Ian Walker (Northern Briars), for instance, coats all of his pipes, but I have no issues with this as I know him personally and I know for sure he is not trying to hide any flaws. On another note, I forgot mentioning "good value for money." It is true that most of the Instagram pipes are just...

    I Bring You The Pipe Turds

    In my personal opinion this is nonsense: the most effective way to speak against your competition is by presenting the costumer with a better product.

    So What Constitutes a Good Pipe?

    Reading another thread about useless and undiscerning idiots wasting their lives puffing away in their turds and other eyesores, has made me think about what constitutes a good pipe as a whole. As I was going through this tread, I thought it was lacking in communication skills and market...

    I Bring You The Pipe Turds

    Nobody has a right not to be offended (this is ridiculous), but I don´t see how he is going to be successful in selling his stuff he if does not improve in his marketing strategies. :)

    Effective communication skills, or marketing, is about being able to sell your products, or get a message across, without upsetting anyone in the process.

    I Bring You The Pipe Turds

    I truly hate it when I walk into a shop with some idea tinkling at the back of my head about what it is I want to buy only for the sales person to totally change that and mould it into what it is I was supposed to be wanting instead. Whenever this happens to me, I just walk straight out of the...

    My Parcel Has Made it Through

    It is one of my favourite Virginia based tobaccos. Not a true VaPer as it contains Kentucky tobacco, but a really good smoke anyway.

    My Parcel Has Made it Through

    Like I am saying, I bought this in Spain due to the very high excise tax on tobacco products in the UK, so "fumar mata" means "smoking kills" like Kanada has pointed out.

    My Parcel Has Made it Through

    I bought this in Spain as tax excise on tobacco products is so high in the UK.

    Who Wants To Review My Holy Grail?

    Oh Gosh, this is so exciting: I can hardly to wait to find out!

    Because of the colour, I know this is the one tobacco I am going on about.

    I really don't know, but there was a website you could look up all the tobacco components for a particular brand. Maybe somebody will provide the link again.
