    Social Smoke

    Just recently I met a guy walking on the bike path thoughtfully smoking a pipe. I approached him and struck up a conversation. I quickly got that he was living in a group home or something and his shrink suggested he smoke a pipe. I didn't get into the reasoning, but he told me he had been...

    Decent Briar for under $50?

    I have 2 Piazolla pipes. The first I bought with a p lip. I was curious to see how the p lip smoked and for the price I figured it was not much to gamble. The pipe is good quality and drilled perfectly. It also came with a stinger. I smoked a few bowls as it came and it broke in well and smokes...

    The Only Other Pipe Smoker on the North Fork

    I live in Port Jefferson and have only very very rarely seen another pipe smoker. Once while sitting on a bench enjoying a pipe in the port I met an older gentleman and his wife. We had a really nice conversation. That is about my only interaction with a fellow pipe smoker I have had in the...

    Portugal Pipe Tobacco

    I have been to Portugal a couple of times and have not seen anything more than otc brands of tobacco (Clan, Scottish mixture etc), You may have some luck n Lisbon or some larger city, but small towns don't really cater to pipe smokers.

    Cutting Plugs

    I love plugs. The dense plugs I cut very thin with an Opinal knife and rub out. Something like Warhorse I usually pull a corner off and rub that out. I use a variety of pipes, but after reading a discussion on smoking GL Please's plugs in a pot... I have to agree that a pot seems to really make...

    Did You do A good Deed on IPSD?

    Spent the day at the hospital with my wife. Scary day that ended well. Got home late and packed the Meershaum with some Cult Blood Red Moon and was just too tired. I'll enjoy it this morning with a nice cuppa. Happy IPSD.

    What's Your Lineage?

    Lithuanian, English, Irish, German... Scandinavian (thinking Viking invaders, but the percentage is pretty high). I did a DNA test and started researching. It has become quite a hobby/quest. I get great satisfaction finding out about those who went before me.

    I want to try a "Lakeland"

    I had the same thought about trying a Lakeland. I have been on a tear lately trying everything I can lay my hands on. It seems like these days every blendis up in the air and it may come to pass that once it's gone... It's gone for good. I ordered 4 ounces of G&H Bosun plug unscented and a tin...

    First Smoke of Condor

    I had my first smoke of Condor (Thanks Beefeater33!). I have really been digging Plug tobacco as of late. This is definitely one I enjoyed As far as Lakeland essence... I didn't get that at all. I recently picked up some GH Bosun cut plug and the essence is so strong I am not sure if I can hack...

    Samuel Gawith Blends and Quality

    I find that Sam Gawith tops my list of most smoked blends. I am particular to FVF, St. James Flake, Balkan Flake, Bothy Flake and Navy Flake. I can't speak of their aromatic blends. I don't really smoke aromatics. I don't find that these blends have much Lakeland essence, and the quality is...

    Pipe sweetener or grain alcohol?

    I use Everclear. I live in NYS and my local liquor carries it. Tried a 1/4 oz shot and it freshened me right up.

    Black House........ Gone

    Just ordered 15 tins of three H&H blends. They sent me 5 tins of the wrong blend and another 5 of what they had in stock. It's only been a week or so and I recieved an email that the balance is on it's way. They seem to be doing pretty well keeping up with the demand. I will be ordering more ...
