In Search of the "WOW" factor
Many will attest to being addicted to tobacco or nicotine, but most of us are addicted to the hobby of pipe smoking. We are constantly searching for that blend that will make us stand up and yell "Sell my clothes I'm going to Heaven, that's a great smoke". We buy countless amounts of 1 ounce...- WVOldFart

Which Country Consistently makes the Best Pipes?
Initial caps for important words only in title! Edited. Date removed as it's superfluous. See rule 9. I was looking over my pipes the other day and noticing all the different countries they represent. My Italians pipes are very good. Some of my Molinas are IMHO the best pipes for the money. I... -
Paladin Black Cherry-maybe at One Time
I will admit that I don't particularly like cherry blends. I know they are popular because every tobacco co. has to make at least one cherry blend. Paladin Black Cherry has been around since Christ was a Private and probably was one of the original aromatic blends. Over a year ago I was making...- WVOldFart

Stockpiling
We have all heard of the possible tobacco tax increase. Things will be what they will be, but I like to solve problems before they begin. Now I have enough tobacco stored to last until I'm 150, but in the chance that I live to 200 I don't want the last 50 years to be an eternal pain in the ass...- WVOldFart

Heine's Blend
Even though it has been around since the 1930's somehow I have missed trying Heine's Blend tobacco. Smokingpipes.com is the only place I have found it, and it only comes in a tub. It sounds like something I might like. I enjoy Hines Mixture, but Heine's Blend I believe is an entirely different...- WVOldFart

How Do You Save a Blend
I can smoke just about any tobacco, but sometimes the blend doesn't meet my needs, so I have to help it. I don't like to waste any tobacco. Since I am a Burley lover, sometimes the Burley doesn't have much taste to it so I mix some Sutliff Chocolate Mousse to give the blend just a little bit...- WVOldFart

Tobacco Taste and Me
Life is a learning experience. When a person is a teenager or in their twenties they think they know everything and they don't know shit. Then when you get into your 60's + years and have acquired a small amount of knowledge, nobody wants to listen to you. Two things that I have learned through...- WVOldFart

Morning Coffee and a Pipe
In the category of Benefits of Pipe Smoking: The Morning Coffee. Several years ago before retirement, I wondered if the office coffee really sucked that bad or if it was something else. Of course you couldn't smoke in the office. The only difference in coffee from home to office was the fact...- WVOldFart

Opportunities In Pipe Smoking
I was thinking back today of when I bought my first pipe and tobacco in 1980. The pipe was a Dr. Grabow, which I still have somewhere and the tobacco was Borkum Riff which I did not enjoy and haven't smoked since. The thing I remember the most was the limited selection, at the time, to choose...- WVOldFart

MacBaren HH Burley Flake
When I think of all the tobacco blends that I have smoked in the last 41 years, it is amazing to me that I had never purchased any MacBaren HH Burley Flake. So with my last purchase from West Virginia Pike Shop I ordered a tin. I am very impressed with the quality of everything with this tin...- WVOldFart

Ragweed Season
In my part of the country this is Ragweed season. The pollen from this plant is miserable to many allergy sufferers. Although it doesn't affect me as bad as some, it does have the tendency to irritate my sinus and mucus membranes. This effects how the tobacco tastes when I smoke it. The sense of...- WVOldFart

Dry or Moist Pipe Tobacco
I am sure this has been discussed before, but do you prefer your pipe tobacco to be dry or moist? I tend to like my tobacco on the dry side. Not crispy, but dry. I find that for me it burns cooler, less relights and with more taste. Many believe that pipe tobacco should be moist to get all the...- WVOldFart

Half and Half with Tonka Beans
Originally Half and Half was flavored with Tonka Beans. My understanding is that the Tonka Bean is from a tree in the Amazon. It was banned in the U.S. because if you digest more than 300,000 lbs a day it could cause health problems (Ha Ha). The Tonka Bean supposed to have given Half and Half an...- WVOldFart
