    Nicotine!?!

    Some people don't catch a buzz from nicotine. When I first started smoking, years ago, I would catch a buzz. If you're wondering what it's like, it is kind of like when you first start to feel drunk. They call it a buzz because that is sort of what your head starts doing. Not a loud buzz...

    What was or is your most relaxing time you've smoked or smoke?

    When I'm done for the day. No matter what's been thrown at me, no matter how stressed out the day has made me, that evening pipe does so much to help me to finally relax.

    Smoke and Drinks Analogy

    +1 topd. But I'll venture to compare pipe smoking to beers. Not being a tea drinker, so I can't relate, but I am a beer drinker, and I definitely love a good beer with my pipe. Like tea, with beer there are so many variations. Also, it's a whole lot of fun trying to tie what beers go really...

    Right this minute I am....

    Right now, dreading going to get ready for work. Monday, usually a good sales day, also is a 'problems' day. Sigh. I hope everyone has a great week!

    Pipe for a beginner?

    Actually, the ring is around the shank. Some people like it, some don't. One of the cool things about it is that a metal helps the briar keep its shape and reduces the chance of the stem loosening. I have the Kapet X220, and it is one of my favorite pipes.

    Right this minute I am....

    10:20 am here, just finished a chicken biscuit and some hash browns and am finishing up a bowl of 1Q. Going to take my daughter and her friend to a movie here in a bit, and probably goof around while they watch the movie.

    Pipe for a beginner?

    One hundred bucks is great, if you can afford that at any given time. You can pick up really good, new, economy pipes that will give you a lifetime of service. See, for me, I can't justify $100 for a pipe. If I'm going to be dropping that much on pipe stuff, I'd rather it be tobacco, and...

    If You Could Only Smoke One Blend

    Since I'm married, it would have to be Seven Seas Regular. However, if I lived alone, probably Peterson Irish Oak. :D

    The Kraken

    As a fan of the Captain, it sounds like I need to give the Kraken a go. I've seen it but never pulled the trigger. Thanks for bringing it up.

    New Peterson Pipe Rack

    Free sample from Altadis came Saturday

    Captainbob, is there a way to tell if a tobacco has propylene glycol as a preservative?

    The Scream

    Art for the sake of art. Profiting later on is just a bonus.

    Help me to grok the cob

    I'm kind of weird here, but I like to put English blends in my cob. The cob material lends a very faint sweetness to the tobacco that I don't get with my briar pipes. And the really neat thing is, if something happens to the cob, I just go to the local pharmacy, plop down 6 bucks and I have a...

    Everclear substitute?

    I use Jack Daniels'. Any flavor imparted is negligible, since I tend to smoke aros. Gets the pipes clean just fine, and I can always take a little nip, or three.
