    frog morton from an MM

    The sight and smell in the package could strike fear into the most intrepid. Apearance of Morgoth's heart shreaded; aroma of the same roasted on a the fires of the Necromancer himself. How deceptive of you to hide your sweetness in the guise of foul guard. On touch of match the secret pleasure...

    Virginia bright leaf

    Have any of you use this to cut tobaccos that are to rich or strong inorder to make them more palateable?

    Boswell's Majestic 586

    This is a mild to medium tobacco that starts out very nice like a mild cigar. Too bad it finishes the same way leaving a bitter brassy taste in your mouth. If you are a fan of mild to medium cigars this may well be the brand for you. I left feeling as though I had just smoke a Cojimar, or...

    bagpipers dream

    Yesterday I received a package from Fullbent as per the newbie trade. And a generous portion it was. Anyway, in order to decide with what tobacco to begin. I first did a smell test with all of them. I don't recomend this with 14 differing tobaccos as it amounts to sensory over load, and the...

    holy smoke

    I was cleaning my latice meerschaum using a soft brush with alcohol and a chip popped out of it. Right at the area where you push the tobacco down to in order to light it. About 1/4 inch from the rim. I was trying to patently remove a cake that hd built up inside it. I don't know what I did wrong.

    score

    I just scored 4 pipes. 2 meerschaums one an sms carved to look like an old guy with a beard and tobacco leaf crown. The other I am not shure the only mark on it was an 80 marked on the meerschaum where the stem attaches (it needs a new stem, a bent churchwarden). One Chippendale briar, and the...

    Brand ignorance

    I was wondering about the quality of different name brands. What do you guys think of brands such as Captain Black, Sir Walter Raliegh, and Prince Albert? I usually get the stuff the pipe store has in the glass jars...I guess the house blends. Alas the pipe store is far away and I sometimes have...

    How about some basics?

    When I started with my pipe it took some trial and error just to load it. (And of coarse still be able to smoke it)(by the way I may be still doing it wrong). So......are there any pipe loading and tamping methods or secrets you would like to share for the newbie?

    If a person were so inclined.........

    to make a pipe of their own. What wood would you use? Where and how would you get it? In what way would you treat the pipe? In other word I would like to try my hand at making a wooden pipe. I have made a stone one (its lost).

    hello all

    Hey guys and ladies, I am obviously a new guy here. So I guess a bit about me and my pipe smoking history is inorder. I started smoking pipes about 10 years ago, but due to my lack of knowledge about it I found it a bit awkward. Therefore I have bounced back and forth between pipes and cigars...
