    PAD/TAD pay off big time.

    A tobacco that I have wanted more of since I smoked a small sample from the box pass and a pipe I have been eyeballing for months both came in the mail today. I have been hyping their arrival and combination since I ordered them. I was sure the actual smoke would pale in comparison to the...

    PAD strikes again...

    So I am not entirely to blame this time. My girlfriend urged me to buy this by telling me that it is for her to help her to quit smoking cigarettes. She later confessed to just telling me that to urge my PAD because she feels that I should have the things I want. And she is right; I have...

    Looking for Caledonian

    Does anyone know where I can find the tobacco line called "Caledonian"? I used to always have "Original Navy Cut 499 and "Virginia Flake" in rotation. 499 is the stuff of Va/perique dreams. No one seems to carry these tobaccos anymore. Anyone know why or where to get them?

    On the mend.

    As many of you know I sliced my forearm on a piece of glass at work about a month ago, severing a tendon, nicking another tendon, and severing 2 branches of my radial nerve. Today they took the cast and wound dressing off and sent me home. Cast is off, wound is healed, scar is bad ass and...

    My first Peterson.

    I had to give in to PAD when I saw this Peterson listed on SmokingPipes.com. I have wanted a Peterson for some time now and this hits every pipe sweet spot for me. Ordered a tin of Fribourg and Treyer Cut Virginia plug and G.L. Pease Chealsea Morning along with it so that it wont get lonely or...

    Give up your toddy recipes for the cold and flu sufferers.

    had a cold for few days and have been medicating with nightly hot toddys. My usual toddy recipe is 1 cup strong Earl Grey, juice of one lemon, a large enough dose of honey to coat my throat and tame the lemon and 2 shots Jameson Irish Whiskey, Te Bheag Scottish Whisky or whatever sweeter...

    Why I haven\'t been posting much.

    Sorry for being so quiet lately. I sliced my right forearm(dominant hand)open pretty good at work severing a couple branches of my radial nerve and a couple tendons. This pic is 2 days after surgery. everything is reconnected and hopefully healing well. Typing with one hand sucks as does...

    Review of McClelland Oriental Mixture: No.8 (green tins)

    I posted this to the what are you smoking post but figured I would leave it as a review because I have been meaning to review this tobacco for some time now. If you are into complex oriental/light English, I suggest you pick up a tin for those moments when you want to sit down and do nothing...

    Ghetto fabulous Savinelli.

    I forgot about this pipe because it was tucked away in a future projects box when last I moved. I left it in the car one day at work on one of those 90 degree Ohio late summer days with the windows rolled up. When I returned to the pipe to enjoy my DGT GLPease Renaissance on the ride home, the...

    The Ohin3 Art Show. This is What I do Most While Smoking.

    As I hinted at in other posts, I have decided to make the Ohin3 art show post. I know Hobie and others love to look at pics so here you go. At the risk of being off of the pipe smoking topics of these forums, I will start with a series I did based on photographs of smoke. Some are incense...

    Habit or pleasure?

    After reading the under age smoking posts, it seems that many of you feel that you would not want underage people to start smoking as if you consider it to be a habit like cigarette smoking or chewing. I am curious, do any of you think of your pipe smoking as a habit that you have to have. If...

    Esoterica's lack of availability.

    Does anyone know why the Esoterica blends seem to be so hard to come by these days? Does anyone know if there will ever be a day when Penzance returns? I do so miss it. I just want to know if it is going to ever come back around.

    Why aren't pipes or tobaccos dated like wine?

    I was reading the Mystique of Perique article and the discussions surrunding the article when I came across a fellow who disagreed with Mark Ryan that consistency of flavour was important. He stated that consistency of quality was important but not consistency of flavour. He points to the fact...

    Flake packing methods.

    After my last post I figured it would be appropriate to open a new topic. This is a favourite method of mine for packing flakes. Anyone else have a nifty way of packing flakes? step 1.) If flakes are broad sliced like Solani 633, cut flake to the size of slightly less than 2ce the height of...
