    Weighing Up COVID-19 And Smoking

    Not wanting to touch a nerve in this community, but rather share some thoughts and links that I have looked at in trying to make an informed decision (or as much as possible) about how much I will smoke my pipe during this crisis. I don’t inhale and I am healthy. I am reasonably fit with no...

    Health Risks of Smoking Pipe Tobacco?

    It can’t hurt and there is a possibility that it will help. I don’t inhale and I am already a moderate smoker to begin with, but I’ll be intentional on how much I smoke and take care in other parts of my health in case I need to fight something off.

    First Impressions: Half & Half

    I like CH and have a bowl most weeks. Two weeks ago I would have said it was my favorite bowl of the week. This week it was Squadron Leader, so CH for me holds it’s own in my wheel house.

    We Are So Screwed

    Funny enough, interesting article in the WP on this today. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/03/21/economy-change-lifestyle-coronavirus/

    Health Risks of Smoking Pipe Tobacco?

    Does that come with or without hand sanitizer included?

    We Are So Screwed

    I agree. Another thought is that old school companies that insist on brick and mortar offices may decide that they actually can function more virtually. This will mean possibly that the days of moving somewhere for some jobs will become less necessary and bringing employment to communities that...

    Destination B&Ms

    Does anyone have a favorite in Colorado? For me in London it has got to be J J Fox and Davidoff (very close to each other). There are probably one or two more that I need to check out too.

    The Quality Bulk Tobacco Cellar for $200 Challenge

    I have been inspired by this and will definitely add this to my touring around. It is causing me to think about a scenario of having several basic and solid tobaccos around to enjoy in their own right and blend according to my mood. If I found this rang my clock, then the core of my cellar...

    We Are So Screwed

    I think a key point here is what can your medical system cope with? The stats the other day that I saw in the UK is that only 1 in 10 intensive care beds were empty. So let’s assume this is only worse than the standard flu by 2x, but as far as we are aware, most of the population do not have a...

    Postal Glitch Means What?

    Last Christmas a relative sent us a perishable gift from one of the well known online suppliers. It was sent with with three day priority delivery. According to the tracking, it got to our local depot in two days, where it then sat for another 10 before being delivered. Of course by the time...

    Fixated On Single Brands Or Lines. 03/21/2020

    Yes, Samuel Gawith and Germaine are my targets, though I recently deviated to pick up my first tins of Nightcap and also HH Old Dark Fired. (I could not resist when I saw them in a B & M)

    Postal Glitch Means What?

    When were in East Texas last year about every 6th delivery this would happen with USPS. We complained but nothing changed. We also had other problems which I won’t bore the forum with. USPS is a complete mess at least in that part of the world!

    What Was Your Best Bowl This Week?

    Sometimes due to mood, chemistry, weather, the pipe I have chosen, what I’m drinking, the planets aligning, etc. I find one or two bowls in a week really hit the spot. It is not always the same tobacco, so it is interesting that while I generally like all the tobaccos in my little stash, I am...

    C&D Yorktown

    I find that when the weather is on the hotter side that sometimes a straight VA is a bit like a glass of iced tea. Nice review.

    Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake (No. 403) Nicotine

    Wow! Thanks for this explanation @craiginthecorn ! What about a tobacco like HH Bold Kentucky? It has little topping and no Perique, so is it the manufacturing process that creates the amount of free nicotine or that the Burley brings the alkaline to the table?
