    Martinis

    I think they do - I just saw a recipe for Beachcomber's Gold: 1 part rum, 1/2 part sweet vermouth, 1/2 part dry vermouth. Sounds like the perfect martini spacecowboy mentioned, but instead of gin, it's rum.

    What Affects the Taste of Pipe Tobacco?

    Wow. That is really interesting that locale can have such a dramatic effect on the tobacco. Good read.

    Martinis

    For those of you that like it extra dry, try spritzing the glass with a small spray bottle or pour a cap full into the glass, roll the alcohol in the glass to coat it, then pour it out. Or you can also try pouring ice into a shaker, add the vermouth and stir it up a bit, pour out the vermouth...

    Martinis

    Haha, I typed it wrong and, I meant to say: 3 parts Gordon's. Also, it's Kina Lillet that's no longer produced, I went to my fridge and saw I still had my bottle of Lillet Blanc. I wish I could edit my old post! Hahahaha.

    Martinis

    I know this is an old thread - but I do love a good martini. For my own martini, I prefer gin, and of the gin - probably my top 3: Bombay Sapphire, Gordon's (Yes, Gordon's), and Hendrick's (I'm surprised Kevin knows of it, not many do). I don't consider a vodka and vermouth a martini, it...

    I did it again

    I like the way that pipe looks, things like the stem and finish really pull me into wanting to buy it! Nice buy!

    My latest pipe pickup!

    That's a very interesting stem output.

    Recommended Starter Tobacco

    I went through 6 pages of threads and I thought to myself: it might be a good idea to have a thread like this. What I mean is this and I think anybody here can really contribute to this post and help out a newbie pipe smoker pick out a blend that he/she will enjoy. Basically, with the...

    What games do you play?

    I am terrible at cross words. I don't know how to win at them or even find the right word for it. Scrabble, however, is my forte. I also love video games. I have to stop playing them for a bit though. Trying to do more biking!

    Bamboo Extensions

    What I find odd are the pipes with faces on the end. I'm not too keen on smoking out of someones carved head.

    The Start of My Pipe Collection?

    Thanks for all the compliments guys. I went to a tobacco store today while I was in Berkeley but it was more of a head shop. They had a pipe that looked like the Octavia I have, but in a natural finish. It was some type of clone and when closely inspected, it just didn't feel right. I can't wait...

    Sadest experience watching a new pipe smoker.

    You have given him some pointers. I had an experience with a pipe before but it was so pathetic that I just consider it as a lapse in time ;)

    Savinelli USA Making a Autograph pics

    I like the autograph series, but I have no idea what makes them more pricey.

    Minty/Menthol blends?

    I'm a big fan of mint. When I was smoking cigarettes I used to smoke menthol, one of my favorites was Marlboro Smooths. It was like candy. Also, those Metro Mint waters are so good. Love mint chip ice cream, heck, I even use Nvia Cool soap for men, and I'm about to switch to an organic...

    Minty/Menthol blends?

    I'm reading a lot after doing a search and I think I'm going in over my head with this. It seems like lots of people get mint extract and apply it to their tobaccos - but it's mostly RYO or hookah tobacco. This could get interesting - I'll definitely have to pay a visit to my local tobacco...

    The Start of My Pipe Collection?

    I'll probably hold off on the sanding until I get a few more pipes - so I can get a feel of what a healthy, so to speak, grip is :)

    California: Bay Area Roll Call?

    Anybody else in the bay area or maybe close to it, within reasonable driving distance? I'm a complete newbie to smoking pipes, but I figure there have got to be some of you here who would be willing to create a Pipes Magazine Bay Area Chapter: PMBAC! Who is with me? San Jose, reporting in.

    The Start of My Pipe Collection?

    Thanks guys, I contacted the seller and he was probably the kindest eBayer I've ever bought from and he was able to help me out. Let me know if you want his eBay ID, he's got lots of cool stuff for sale. I'll also be trying out the #2 pencil trick - I did some reading on it last night and just...

    Minty/Menthol blends?

    I did a search but I only found things about nasal tobacco. Any how, does anybody here have any experience with a minty or menthol tobacco blend for pipes? Perhaps it's a taboo in the pipe world, but the only one I have heard about is by Altadis called Frosty Mint - and I heard it ghosts the...

    MATCHES!

    I personally can tell the difference when lighting a cigarette with a match or a lighter - there's a definitive taste from the lighter fluid that is off putting. If you don't believe me, try roasting a marshmallow with a lighter, it's disgusting ;)
