    G.L. Pease, Where to Start?

    Cairo is one I was really interested in. Just the name itself makes me want to buy it. I'm hoping it's similar in some ways to some of the other oriental blends I enjoy. I go back and forth during the day between what I want to smoke, and I think some variety in orientals might help me enjoy...

    G.L. Pease, Where to Start?

    This really helps, thanks a bunch everyone! It confirmed a few I was thinking of and I left out some I was on the fence about. Thanks again guys! Always have the best answers here!

    Nicotine Test for Benefits at Work

    I can attest to that, while I didn't work in that field, I have worked overnight where I needed to be awake, alert, and manage others. Smoking was obligatory in that situation.

    G.L. Pease, Where to Start?

    I'm a little overwhelmed by all the delicious-sounding choices from G.L. Pease. I have never found reviews to be too helpful, as the actual experience for each person is different, although there are some benchmarks that everyone can agree on. What seems to help me is comparing them to similar...

    Nicotine Test for Benefits at Work

    I interviewed for a job that specifically asked if you smoked or not and if you did, they wouldn't employ you. They saw a picture of me online with one of my pipes. I didn't get the job. It's none of their business. People have all sorts of unhealthy habits. But you know what? It's my life. I...

    Is a Zippo Pipe Insert Really Better?

    This is a great way to light an everyday blend in my opinion. I used to smoke lockwoods back when I could get it. You could find me all over the place lighting up with my pipe lighter. It's true you're going to taste some fuel, and that's why I say it's good for an everyday blend. If you are...

    SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve, How Much Better is it?

    I might plan in that case if I like plum pudding regular to just stock up on that. It might age just fine in the tin or in a jar. I've noticed that I can't really get a handle on a blend though without smoking a few tins. I think that what we eat and a lot of other factors go into how we...

    SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve, How Much Better is it?

    That's good to know. I saw positive reviews of regular PP so I ordered 2 8 oz tins. I don't mind a bite to my English blends, although sometimes it's nice to have something that's smoother. I will try them both when they arrive and see if I want to get more of the special reserve. It is a bit...

    SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve, How Much Better is it?

    I finally broke down and ordered a little slice of the Plum Pudding pie the other day on the recommendation of some forum members. I have read all the reviews online, but I'm wondering from our members here, how much better will the special reserve or bourbon barrel aged perform over the...

    I.P.S.D. Sales - How dysfunctional Were You?

    sadly no. One of the best parts about being a pipe smoker is going outside, alone, with no phone and a good pipe and a good book. Leave everyone else to scramble over the latest trends, etc. I will keep smoking and enjoying an authentic lifestyle no matter what anyone says about being unhealthy...

    Favorite Blends from Local Shops

    I agree with that assessment. I noticed some of the blends were really lackluster I've tried from local stores. Once I find a diamond in the rough, I consider myself lucky. From the store I buy, their blends are quite unique but I have encountered what you've said before definitely.

    Favorite Blends from Local Shops

    I will have to check that out. Some of the best blends are the ones they won't disclose what the ingredients are. That's the case with Lockwoods. They told me the basic components but they kind of smiled and said it's "Latakia, a little aromatic, and something special." It's always that little...

    Favorite Blends from Local Shops

    I think sometimes local blenders can be hit or miss, but when they do hit, they are much better than many tinned blends. That may be my personal bias, but I know I received more enjoyment from local blends than tinned over the years.

    I've heard so many good things from that store! I will have to give some of those a try

    Why Did you Start Smoking a Pipe, and Why Do You Still?

    My father smoked a pipe (usually outside, sometimes inside) and I loved the smell of the burnt tobacco as well as the blends themselves. Something about the shapes also intrigued me. It just seemed to be a very natural thing for me as I was growing up. I loved the accessories, the old 1970's...

    Why Did you Start Smoking a Pipe, and Why Do You Still?

    Same here, smoking a pipe is so much less offensive than my cigarettes and no one complained. Did you smoke unfiltered camels by any chance? That was my tobacco of choice...
