    What/Who Influenced You to Start Pipe Smoking?

    May of last year I picked up the pipe for the first time. I was inspired by my uncle. When I was a child I would sit in his living room and he would smoke a pipe. I loved everything about it... the process of packing, lighting and smoking. The smell was amazing and something I still remember...

    Worst Tongue Bite Ever

    It can creep up with you. One Saturday I was in a big time mood to smoke and I had a ton on my mind, so I fired up. I didn't have a clock or watch, so I just kept loading up and lighting up. I realised when I got back to the house I had smoked tour bowls in three hours. Bad, bad, bad. Waaaaay...

    Drinking While Smoking

    H & H White Knight

    White Knight is on my very, very long shortlist of tobaccos to try. I guess if it is a long short list, it would then be a longlist!

    How Do You Enjoy Your Pipe?

    I am random smoker, due to life style, schedule and circumstances... Right now with the crummy weather I smoke about once a week, sometimes less. When better weather returns, it will be daily at times. So with my with my small tobacco cache and four pipes, I have no real routine. Pretty simple!

    Corn Cobs

    My first cob was a Country Gentleman, but as I was a new smoker I found the shallower bowl of the Washington Rob Roy a bit easier to learn to pack with. Both are awesome smokers regardless.

    Advice on Buying First Pipe for My Husband?

    My first briar pipe was a Rossi for about $50 that I bought from smokingpipes.com. Great pipe and the build quality is such that it will last me for life.

    IPSD Festivities

    Me too. Bought a coffee and burned myself really bad. My mistake. The small drink hole that you sip through concentrated it.
