    Which Country Consistently makes the Best Pipes?

    Great pipes are being made in many countries around the world and I consider that we are very lucky to have such a wide selection available. My preference is for Italian pipes.

    Do you Love to Smoke Your Pipe?

    I enjoy smoking my pipes tremendously. The shapes, finishes and textures of the pipes. The rainbow of flavors that pipe tobacco offers. Also, I am addicted to nicotine. It has been a long affair with cigarettes and cigars as dancing partners. Magic happens when nicotine and caffeine meet.

    A Sober Realisation

    NYC has been my home for 22 years and throughout this period spotted only 7 pipe smokers out in the wild. One rarely sees any cigar smokers around here these days.

    Single Malt Heaven

    Nice selections! The Highlander Inn in Craigellachie and the Mash Tun in Aberlour are exceptional, if one happens to be in the Speyside region.

    Do You Dislike a Certain Stem Material?

    I have pipes with stems made of acrylic, vulcanite and horn. My preference is acrylic even if a little harder on the teeth, due to very low upkeep. Maintenance of vulcanite can become tedious.

    Tobacco Trades and Sales

    As a new member of the Forum, I respect and appreciate the rule. As the senior members mentioned, it keeps the hit-and-run operators somewhat at bay. Hey, pipe smoking is all about patience!

    A Pipe and a Drink (?)

    I find it be a high quality product and the higher ABV doesn't bother me. That being said, I had better quince brandies from Serbia. I was born in Brasov, now living in NYC, and sometimes drink palinca for nostalgia.

    A Pipe and a Drink (?)

    For some reason I never enjoyed alcoholic beverages while smoking pipe. With cigars however, is a different story. Distilled spirits, mainly, wine and the occasional cocktail. A few times a week, moderate. Smoking a Toscano Antico and drinking Zetea palinca de gutui (a Romanian brand of quince...

    English/Balkan/Oriental Flake etc?

    Try GL Pease Quiet Nights. Personally, I find it to be an amazing blend. At that price it's a very cheap exploration trip, if disliked no biggie if liked open the skies!

    All Day Blends

    For me, it would be LJ Pretty Cuban Mixture. However, variety is the spice of life and I couldn't smoke the same blend for very long, maybe a day or two but not longer, call me a privileged smoker.

    Mouth Still Irritated - Pipe Materials - Tabac - Aggressiveness?

    It might be related to your mouth pH and your daily diet. Also, smoking cadence. I would smoke some straight virginia and some straight burley to see what creates discomfort, and adjust accordingly.
