    Please Advise On First Briar!

    Thanks. Researching this weekend!

    Please Advise On First Briar!

    So, I have been smoking cobs for a few months and am ready to take the plunge on getting my first briar. My budget is $50-75. I 'think' I would like an acrylic stem, brown and somewhat simple design, and decent size bowl. I suspect at this stage I will mainly be smoking 1-Q. This is what I am...

    Am I Smoking Too Much?

    Don't be too fascinated. I'm lame when it comes to creative stuff... so I just threw that on as that particular cob was the first pipe I smoked. I definitely need to find a better avatar!

    Am I Smoking Too Much?

    I am a very new pipe smoker. For me there are two major factors... Time - if I can't sit and enjoy the pipe, in a good place, with no interruptions or concerns, I won't do it. Sometimes I will smoke a number of evenings in a row and then I won't smoke for a number of days as well. Right now I...

    Attn Newbies - If I Had It To Do Over Again.

    Almost three months ago I started smoking a pipe for the first time. I had never smoked anything in my life (it's the honest truth!), but I always enjoyed the room note of my uncle's pipes and thought I would give it a go. I thought I would post my learnings for any newbies who are just getting...

    If You Were Stranded On a Deserted Island With Only One Tobacco...

    The next game will be if you were accidentally locked up in a premier tobacco shop for the night after they closed and you knew the owners would not hold it against you to pass time until morning by smoking anything you want, what would you help yourself to?!?

    If You Were Stranded On a Deserted Island With Only One Tobacco...

    Love some of the answers here, including hearing how hard it is to choose. I did not appreciate when I first got into this hobby that rotation was such a big part of some pipe smokers. My uncle pretty much just smoked one thing, so this is all new to me. Many thanks for helping the noob...

    If You Were Stranded On a Deserted Island With Only One Tobacco...

    Some great tobaccos here for me to research and get samples. Thanks everyone!

    @ray47 Oooooh, I was so close! I just bought a tin of Pegasus to try!

    If You Were Stranded On a Deserted Island With Only One Tobacco...

    Which one would you would hope it would be? Imagine a big wooden barrel of it to last your lifetime! I am a new piper exploring aromatics, burleys and English blends. I am hoping your answers made under the extreme focus of being on a island will give me more tobaccos to consider trying out...

    @ray47 - thanks... I'll definitely add this to the list. Very interesting!

    Confessions of a new pipe smoker

    I am thoroughly enjoying this new hobby. I have also thoroughly enjoyed the input from the kind folk in this community. I have appreciated the help and the warm welcome. Contrary to some hobby communities on the internet, I have not experienced any snobbery to me being a new smoker. Also...

    Where do I go from here?

    I have been having a lot of fun and enjoyment from my MM cob pipe and Lane BCA. As I work on my technique I am starting to wonder if I should get another cob and another type of tobacco to compare against. Any suggestions? Maybe an English of some sort?

    Anything I am missing? New smoker advice.

    Smoking Report: Everyone was out of the house tonight leaving the place to me, the evening was cool and so I decided to give it a go on the back porch. I was a little nervous, but also really looking forward to it. Weird,I did not expect the nervousness, but I’ll be honest it was a bit like a...

    Anything I am missing? New smoker advice.

    @acidpox Thanks for the advice on coffee. I’ll also pick up a lighter today. I suspect you are right. If I don’t have to worry about the matches, it might be one less thing to think about. :) @cigrmaster - Sound advice. Will definitely experiment with insuring a bit of resistance on the draw...

    Anything I am missing? New smoker advice.

    Hi All — Been wanting to try pipe smoking for some time. My uncle used to smoke them and I loved the way the room smelled. I have never smoked, so I am not sure if I will like actually smoking as much as I liked being around it. So nothing ventured, nothing gained. I am going to go for it...
