Your Piping Joys
I have two pipe smoking joys that are a bit of a paradox... First the joy of alone time. To smoke a pipe, I need to carve out at least an hour with no interruptions and so the ritual of sitting alone with the pipe, tobacco and smoke is something that feels fiercely private and very relaxing at...- docrameous

Finding Solace In My Pipes And Tobacco.
I picked up the pipe last year right before all hell broke loose on multiple levels - deaths, family illness, conflict, etc. I didn’t see any of it coming, so we were shell shocked. Getting out onto the porch at times to smoke was deeply therapeutic as I tried to come to grips with all that was...- docrameous

Lane 1 Q
I agree, a Cob is my weapon of choice with 1-Q. I also find 1-Q is one of those blends that I don’t like to smoke all the way to the end... if I stop before the bottom it leaves me with a better impression and fresher aftertaste. The room note of 1-Q is nice and if I am around people it is...- docrameous

Lane 1 Q
I actually on a whim fired up part of a bowl today. It was better than the other day when I smoked it. l don’t know why, but sometimes a tobacco strikes me better on some days and not so good on others.- docrameous

1 Grabow for 1 Year (8/2/19)
Winter weather cramps my piping. It’s on my radar to see about setting up a place to smoke in bad weather. I was thinking a wood stove. Smoking can get involving!- docrameous

Do You Smoke Entire Bowl At Once, Or Sessions?
Because I generally only smoke when I know I have at least a solid hour available, I almost always finish the bowl unless there is an unexpected interruption. I am still too new of a novice piper to multi-task much, plus part of the joy is to stop and savor the experience, thinking and being...- docrameous

When Do You Smoke Your Pipe?
I don’t smoke inside and I prefer to smoke when I can just sit and relax, though on occasion I will read a book or fly fish so there is no real pattern for me other than I need some downtime and decent weather. Right now, the weather is lousy and I have not smoked for several days. I might get...- docrameous

What Brought You To The Pipe?
Some of my earliest memories of my uncle was rolling his own cigarettes and smoking a pipe. The pipe in particular had a smell that I liked. It also looked so serene and relaxing. In my grade school years the anti-smoking campaign really kicked into high gear and so I was reluctant to try it...- docrameous

How Does Smoking Affect Your Sleep?
It is interesting you asked this, because I was wondering the same thing... I usually smoke one bowl in a day, max two on occasion and sometimes I miss several days in a row due to weather, schedule, etc., so I have perceived it has never been a big factor particularly because I usually smoke...- docrameous

My First Real Burley Experience
If I am in a light mood, I smoke Carter Hall. If I want something a bit more substantial, I smoke Pegasus. I want to explore more Burleys with time though.- docrameous

First-Year Pipe Smokers' Favorite Tobacco So Far
Tough question to answer because there are so many blends yet to explore! Budget, bandwidth to look and time are limiters! I am going to go with Luxury Bullseye Flake. I really like the combo of Virginia, Perique and Cavendish - affordable, burns cool, has a nice set of tastes, while not being...- docrameous

About To Give Up On Non Aromatics
I fired up a bowl of 1-Q the other day after a long absence, and it was just ‘ok’, not great, but ‘ok’. I used to like it more but as I smoke other blends more and more I have liked it less. I need to tour aromatics again, but for now aromatics are not that appealing to me. My favorite would...- docrameous

Finally Gave In.
^^ +1 ^^ Just smoked a bowl of Carter Hall with a cup of coffee... The more I smoke Carter Hall, the more I like it. A bit on the sweet side - I like Burley and Virginia together, pairs nicely with black coffee... it's light, easy to smoke and dare I say refreshing? I have some 'bolder' and...- docrameous
