    You Inherited The Local Smoke Shop; But Now, You Must Rename It

    Had you asked 10yrs ago it would have to be "The Hipster Lounge" These days only "Puff Hutt" comes mind.

    Rate of Value-Growth as Tins Age?

    As it is with anything, it is worth whatever some dummy is willing to pay for it. Some tins are expensive because you cant get them anymore, but this dummy won't pay more than 20$ for a tin. I traded a lb of Hodgdon Longshot for 2 tins of Frog on a Log, I'd say that's a solid trade.

    Autumn Evening on this Rainy fall night in Ontario. An old patent era Brigham bent billiard was used for such a task. Let's just ignore the Peterson stand, couldn't find my other one.

    Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian Members!

    Labatt Blue? maybe 10yrs ago before they ruined it. Gotta be Moosehead buddy. Something we harvest ourselves, but unfortunately our GOV starts Turkey season a week before T-Day, not leaving us much time to hunt one, and that's only with a bow, shotgun doesn't start until middle of the month...

    Does tobacco that has been well stored for more than 20 years get better?

    I'd imagine, same as wine or whiskey, it would depend on the blend. Meaning some get better, some get worse and some don't really change a noticeable amount. While I don't have a lot of experience with aged tobacco, my favourite has 21yrs of age on it, and it is smoother than when it was first...

    September was Rough on my PAD

    So far, I've got 5 half bowls through the Rattray's and the Ser Jacopo. 3 bowls through the Calabash and 1 bowl a piece in the Bentleys. Haven't smoked the Grabow. I'm really enjoying the Rattray's so far, but then I'am partial to the author shape. I also enjoy the full bend of that Ser Jacopo a...

    Pipe tobacco cut preference

    Given the choice, I prefer the ribbon cut. It provides the most consistent burn rate for me without the prep time. While I do greatly appreciate the taste and enhanced flavour that comes from Plugs, I find them annoying to prepare. That being said, most of my favourite tobaccos are Flakes/Ready...

    How Many Bowls are Sufficient to "Try" a New (to You) Blend?

    3, In 3 different shaped pipes. If I like it I will then start changing bowl size to determine the best pipe in which to consume said blend. If I'm not overly fond, I may give it a chance again after a few months in a jar. If I hate it, it comes to work with me to be hand rolled into cigarettes...

    Do you Love to Smoke Your Pipe?

    I wouldn't say I love it, but I certainly do enjoy a smoke. It's not a compulsion or addiction for me, especially when it gets cold out, I'l go months without a smoke. Love is a strong word that I only use very selectively that I apply only to a few people and my dogs. One of the few words in my...
