    DR. Question Do you Smoke?

    It's about charging more for insurance. Let's get real. Signed, a guy who's changing insurance right now.

    Another Sign Of Getting Old.

    To the OP's point, I do enjoy a pipe on a cold day here in Central Colorado. I ambulate around a lake at the base of ski resort during the winter with my pipe and a hearty latakia blend. Quite lovely. That said, during the last six months, my life has changed, as have my priorities. While my...

    A Rumination on Whether It's Worth $32,000 (US)

    Am I the only one who thinks whoever made that pipe at Dunhill was dropping acid? That's quite a freehand for the staid Dunhill.

    Filtered Pipes

    I'm probably a strange duck, but I don't get vaping. (And there will be a connection to the OP). When I load my pipe, I want the tobacco taste. I want the tars. I like the incineration of tobacco. I like my blends (mostly English/Balkan) and want their full impact. I don't fundamentally...

    Advice for Cellaring

    OK, apparently we've hit another panic-buying moment. (Not the first on the forum). As much as some of us have bought more than we'll ever be able to smoke -- I have two large plastic tubs of tins -- figure out what you like if you're new to this. Those of us who have reserves for the apocalypse...

    The World Series 2021

    I just want to thank the Braves for knocking out the Dodgers. My season is made. Signed, A Giants Fan.

    Am I Flaky over Flake Cut?

    Call it plug, cake, kake, flake, broken flake, mottled flake, it just burns more slowly and, to me, and produces more flavor. I've heard about coffee grinders or cube-cutting. I just break it up for a rough feeling cut to my fingers with some "kindling" in the upper half of the bowl. Bottom...

    Sam Gawaith And Moisture

    Imagine a hypothetical world where the first tobacco you try is Samuel Gawith? Every newbie would be like, "How do I light this?" Yes, dry Gawith tobacco.

    The Rise of the 7 Ounce Tin

    First and foremost, everything seems to be trending toward more $$$ for less product. Nonetheless. 7 ounces equals 200g, which is good for sale in most of the world where the metric system.

    Pipe Stud Needs to Fix His Web Site!

    I know nothing about Saturday, Oct. 16 and Steve's site, but I bet that site could sell out every week, despite being down.

    Finishing The Last Little Bit?

    This is not like "You can't get up from the table until you eat your vegetables," when you were a kid. If you're done, you're done. This is meant to be fun, people.

    It is Getting Dark Earlier

    First serious dusting of snow here in Central Colorado. Hearty latakia time with a full weekend of playoff baseball and football (college and pro). In truth, this is not much different than summer. Life is good.

    G.L. Pease Gaslight

    Wait until you age it. Briar Lee, you bought 6 tins, no? Enjoy 1 or 2 now, while storing the other 4. Wait 3 years. You won't be sorry.

    When is a estate worth it?

    Sablebrush and SSJones have added important nuances to the OP's question. Estates are terrific for older brands or brands who have experienced former glory years. One of the foci of my collection are Dunhills and Barlings. Dunhills are cheaper AND better to buy from estate than new. (I'm looking...

    Stockpiling

    @Sanddollar ... 240-plus pounds of tobacco? Not a criticism. You just make me feel better. I probably have around 50 LBS of tobacco and I feel ridiculous. I'm never going to get through that. Thank you for helping me sleep through the night.

    Battlestar Galactica

    With Internet TV, I've been able to rewatch the Lorne Greene/Dirk Benedict version. (1980 or so and the original AND a guest spot from Jane Seymour?) Loved that series as a kid. To keep this to something appropriate for this discussion, when I worked very briefly at Sherlock's Haven in San...

    What is the Best Tip or Advice You've Ever Gotten About Smoking a Pipe?

    Experiment. As a pipe smoker, I get too entrenched in the pipes I smoke as well as the blends. Variety is the spice of life. If you like aromatics, try virginias, vapers, va-burs, va-per-burs, and or englishes. Your rotation may be briar, but try a meer and/or a cob. One of the great things...

    Do you Smoke Right handed or Left handed?

    I clench on the left side of my mouth while being right-handed. Come to think of it, My father and my grandfather clenched on the left side as well.

    Airports - Traveling with pipes and tobacco (Europe)

    See, this is interesting. Disclaimer: All my flying is within America, so I don't know what the rules are for tobacco importation and duties. But that said, When I fly from Denver to San Francisco regularly, my pipes and tobacco always go in my carry-on bag. My pipes, my tobacco, accompanying...
