    Favorite TV Show Or Movies While Smoking?

    I recently got into Game of Thrones (late into the game, I know). An episode is around an hour long, which is great for a large bowl. Usually I like sitting in silence or listening to music, but lately I've been enjoying watching longer shows. Do any of you have a "ritual" when pipe smoking that...

    Methods For Smoking Crumble Cake?

    Hey everyone! Have my first order of SPC's Plum Pudding coming in today. Wanted to know what was the best method in breaking apart the cake. Do I just go ahead and break it all apart, or do I just break off enough for a bowl at a time? Also, what has your experiences been with Plum Pudding...

    Favorite Tunes While Smoking?

    What things do you like to listen to while relaxing and enjoying your pipe? I mostly like to sit in silence and listen, as I'm out side while I smoke and like to meditate and ponder. But every now and then, I really like to listen to Bob Dylan, Sinatra, Beatles, or even a PodCast or two.

    Carey's "Convenient Tubes"

    Just got an email today with a link to Carey's "Convenient Tubes" (link is below). I really like this idea, and feel like it would be less cumbersome than fiddling with the small ziplock bag my cleaners come in. Anyone else do this with their cleaners and supplies? Is there some store I could...

    Coming Back To The Same Tobacco

    Wanted to hear everyones experience with this. I'm still fairly new to pipe smoking, and part wonder of pipe tobacco is trying all types of tobaccos and tobacco blends. But, when I go to smoke, I will most likely reach for my favorite, Frog Morton's Cellar. I am trying to make it a point to try...

    Glue Melting In MM Cob?!

    I have a MM Legend Cob that I absolutely love. The other day, I noticed that it began to smoke a bit acrid, and not the smooth cob that I had known to love. I decided to do a deeper cleaning (as opposed to my usual 'run a few pipe cleaners through after smoking'). I was using grain alcohol and...

    Wanting To Buy Pipe From My 1990 Birth Year

    I have read numerous times that people will splurge on a pipe from their birth year. I feel that since I am young (born in December of 1990) I can find a fairly moderate priced high end pipe. I would love to have a rusticated bent bulldog. What are your thoughts on this? How do I go about...

    Need A New Stem For Grabow

    Was doing a full cleanup of a pipe that I had acquired. I have a Dr. Grabow Freehand. I was doing a salt treatment for the bowl and also soaking the stem in oxy clean. I was not attentive, and did not know that soaking the metal tenon of the stem would have some negative effect. In the end, I...

    Tins, Cans, And Jars

    I wanted to ask about your experiences with all forms that tobacco can come in. I came across a review of Frog Mortons Cellar, and the reviewer claimed that those types of cans (with the plastic lids) don't keep the tobacco as well as a tin. Should I always decant tobacco in a mason jar? Do...

    Changes In Pipe Popularity/Where Is It Going?

    First off, thank you everyone for being so awesome to a new pipe smoker. I never feel dumb, and feel freedom in posting new threads and adding to conversations. I am always interested in listening to people speak from personal experience on the changes within culture and society surrounding...

    First Time Trying Nightcap

    Have been reading so much on this famous blend that I ordered a sample. Tried it for the first time today... Holy crap. The flavor was wonderful, but man, did I turn green. Going into it, I thought that all the talk was possibly over done. I would proabbly feel something, but man... I felt...

    Best Style Pipe For A Studying Student

    I'm currently in my masters, and I actually will begin my second masters this Fall. I am constantly reading and writing, and would love to smoke my pipe while doing so. What style pipe do you all recommend so that I don't feel like I need to constantly hold it in my hand due my jaw hurting from...

    Any fellow pipe smoking ruggers here? I'm currently coaching the team that I played for for a few years. Wanted to see if there was anyone else.

    Softy Bits

    Just received two softy bits from P&C. I like the comfort of them and like that they will prevent the bite marks on the stem, since I clench quite hard. I wanted to ask about the specific placement of them. If my pipe stem has a ridge at the end of it (like the softy bit itself) do I slide the...
