    Learning New Tobacco

    After several years of only smoking mainly RLP-6 and 1Q I decided to leave the safe shores of what I know and venture into other types of tobacco. I first bought some Carter Hall and PA. These I enjoyed and was able to get to smoke really well from the start. However, I next ordered some tobacco...

    Mr. Brog's Mystery Pipe

    I just won an ebay auction for my fourth Mr. Brog pipe. This one is going to be a mystery because it is a random pipe with pipe stand and wood sided pipe tool. I usually want to pick my pipe out; however, for $11.50 plus shipping I figured I would see how my luck does. I will update this post...

    A Quick Question on Taxation

    A quick question, has congress passed a law raising the tax on pipe tobacco? I know there is a lot of talk about pipe tobacco taxes going up at the beginning of 2014, but is this a fear or a reality at this point?

    A Good Word About Pipesandcigars.com

    I decided to look at ordering some new tobacco this morning (after having sampled two of the FM blends I decided to get a few more blends with latakia in them) so I went on pipe and cigars website and noticed that they have a sale on buy two sutliff 1.5 ounce tins get one free. Thinking this...

    Refrigerator is Broken, But Not My Pipe

    It is midnight, our refrigerator just broke which is not a good thing, actually it is a very bad thing. I am stressed and frustrated. So, I decided to grab the Mr. Brog pipe that came in the mail today, a nice No. 47 billiard, and go out to the back patio (which is freshly cleaned up) listen to...

    Trying Frog Morton

    Well, I just ordered Frog Morton Across the Pond and Frog Morton Cellar tins. This is going to be my first non-lane, non-otc tobacco. Hoping I will enjoy it. I also ordered a Mr. Brog Billiar pipe to have a fresh pipe to try these blends in. Here's hoping I made a good choice.

    Got to Officiate My Brother's Wedding

    Yesterday was an awesome day. I had the privilege of officiating my youngest brothers wedding. I do not think I have had a greater honor in my life than to be the one to pronounce my brother and his new bride husband and wife. What an awesome day our family had.

    Getting RLP-6 and 1Q to Smoke Better

    So, I have been smoking Lane 1Q and RLP-6 for sometime now, but I can not get it to smoke as well as Carter Hall and Captain Black White from the pouch. I can not figure out if I should let it dry more or try to smoke it to wetter. Any suggestions? By the way, I sometimes get a great smoke from...

    Thanks to You I Got to Be a Superstar

    Friday night I was at a end of the school year party, I work for the local school district, and as we guys were talking the subject got around to cigars and pipes. As the guys talked cigars I could not add much to the discussion, but when it turned to pipes it was my time to shine. I was able to...

    Mr. Brog's Great Customer Service

    I had won a new Mr. Brog pipe on Ebay. Well it come in the mail yesterday but with to many flaws to ignore. The coating inside the bowl was not smooth, the bit did not fit properly and the hole was way off center. I was greatly disappointed; however, after exchanging a few messages with Mr. Brog...

    Codger Burley Equals Now I Understand

    Tonight on a whim I bought a box of Carter Hall. After smoking two bowls I can see why these OTC burley blends are/where so popular, and also why people would not care for them. On the one hand, I enjoyed the smoke. It was simple and straightforward. On the other hand, there was not a lot of...

    Why is Captain Black So Expensive in My Local Area

    I recently got my free sample of Captain Black in the mail. Along with the pouch of tobacco was two coupons for $3.00 off of a pouch of any Captain Black. Since I really enjoyed the sample I decided to add Captain Black to my rotation. I headed with the wife to the local B&M to buy some...

    These Pipes Are Not for Tobacco

    Yesterday I went to my local sort of B&M (I say sort of because it seems to be going the way of a semi-tobacco shop/semi-headshop) and I was disgusted to see a large selection of what at first looked like tobacco pipe; however, upon closer inspection these pipes are in no way made for tobacco...

    Just Won My First Ebay Auction (Mr. Brog)

    Just won a Mr. Brog #51 Amigo walnut rusticated. This is my first successful Ebay win and I am very excited. Got the pipe including shipping for $15.49. Should arrive on Thursday or Friday (just in time for a four day weekend!) The only problem I see is that it has done nothing to lessen my...

    Really Thinking About Pulling the Trigger on Mr. Brog

    I am really thinking about pulling the trigger on a Kentucky #43 I have $15 in amazon.com gift certificate to use, so this would make the pipe basically free for me. Since this would be my first online pipe purchase, I am really nervous about buying a pipe that I can not pick up and handle...

    I Think I am an Aromatic Man (For Now Anyways)

    Well after five years of pipe smoking, I have come to the conclusion that I just love Lane 1Q and Lane RLP-6. I have tried other tobaccos, and while I can appreciate them, I just keep coming back to my beloved 1Q and RLP-6. Edit: Removed offer, L. Please offer it on Briarbid.com

    I Want to Thank Kashmir for Great Advice

    On another post Kashmir suggested that new pipe smokers clench their pipes. I decided to try this, and was able to smoke a bowl down to the mythical ash that I keep reading about. I have also really cut down on the number of relights that it takes to finish a pipe. It i amazing how well this...
