    Sour Pipe

    I've only had it happen once. But I understand how it could make you toss a pipe. And sour is certainly euphemistic and means just terrible and unsmokable. So anyone else ever experience this? And how did you deal with it? I tried the wet coffee grounds over night. And amazingly that got rid...

    They Say Never Say Never...

    I know that one thing I'll never do is be able to spell squirrel correctly without spell check or a dictionary. Any basic mostly insignificant skills or tasks you know it's not even worth attempting to over come?

    Home Grown

    I have to say that I have really been enjoying the home grown Va @cosmicfolklore grew. If you've had some heirloom produce or meat you can get a great idea of the leaf he grew. It's not for everyone but it's got qualities that are lost in many contemporary blends and leafs. It has fruit notes...

    Trial of Newbie Mantra.

    Reading this site I notice that newbies now struggle from too much information instead of too little. We often seem to have new pipe smokers asking if they did it right? The answer is did you enjoy it? Did you get smoke? Did you not break the pipe? Did you put it in the correct orifice (you do...

    The Kindness of Their Hearts From The Bottom of Their Cellars

    Just want to shoot out too two members here. @Servant King and @cosmicfolklore. The first has shared some rare (discontinued) samples with me that not only was just really generous but highly enjoyable. Got to try some amazing blends that I thoroughly enjoyed and gave me flights of fancy about...

    If Nasal Snuff Is Still Here

    Then I will be willing to bet that pipe smoking is going to stick around if that's what we really want. Heck one is a product most people are shocked even exists and everyone knows about pipes. Things will change always but pipes are going to be here for a long time.

    That Wonderful First Couple Hours in the Morning.

    Have to ask anyone else here have their day thrown off a bit when you don't get that first hour or two to just be by yourself? Or is it me.

    Naming Patterns.

    Love how sometimes you can figure out the system a brand uses for naming tobacco but sometimes the names are just so esoteric. Examples when the name is primarially a number. Blend no 87 or the John Aylesbury blends, the only one that gives me a hint is Flake Virginia. Below that on the website...

    Cover Songs That Kick The Original

    Anyone want to share cover songs that really just are better then the original. I dig both versions but the Afghan Whigs just make it so much grimmer.

    So My Bus Driver Smokes A Pipe

    Yeah we now talk about pipe stuff so that's proof there are more smokers out there, then I thought. Oh he's a young guy.

    Cute Issue With Member Status

    The one ranking is Can't leave. But if you hover over someones avatar you get a box that says their status and their location. So the box sometimes with the Can't Leave status reads Can't Leave From Pennsylvania. This says to me the A.I. is too smart already and already is starting to understand...

    Pipes Are Great

    That's all. But seriously is it just me or are pipes more enjoyable, fun, and just all around awesome then any logic would dictate?

    Delusional Burly

    Looking at my orders I realized I smoke a lot more burly then I give myself credit for. Basically I've smoked more Five Brothers then anything else with it being very close to Yorktown and then EGR that's my number three but all of those are pretty close to each other in amounts of gone through...

    Ennerdale Flake?

    Opinions? I went ahead and got two ounces of it in my emergency accessory order. My Girlfriend lost my favorite cleaners and I lost my Tamper. Honestly I am just really happy to be trying it (even if I hate it, I'll be happy to know). Also got the old standby Five Bros, but that's just the pipe...

    Well That Random Blend Turned Out Weird

    When I have not quite enough to smoke of a Blend or three I dump them together. Well EGR Mixture 79 and Mountain Camp tastes of Chalk. It wasn't bad or good. Just chalk and wine flavor. Mostly mentioning this because, what the heck? Oh and at one moment it gave me the classic latakia tire fire...

    New Blend Homeward Bound

    Just saw the ad like everyone else. Although I like the new art for the two friends brand (the old one was nice but didn't give any distinct impressions to differ one blend from the next. That said the new one sounds like something I'd really enjoy but I have to sound the warning that the...

    Thrice Complimented

    I got three compliments on smoking a pipe yesterday. And my guess is that at least two of them would have been grossed out if I was smoking a cig. What is it about pipes that just seems more magical or special to people? Also all college age people. The worst thing I've had someone say to me...

    Dark Twist and a Pinch of Perique

    is way tastier then it should be. I used the leaf of perique i got in a D&R blend (yes it was a full leaf) and it defies my vocab to explain how magical it is. One of the notes is rich milk. And sour dough bread and magic to name a few others . And it gives a rough but wonderfull edge like the...

    Mixture 79 Plus Dark Twist

    Today I put a Dark twist coin in the middle of the bowl of mixture 79 and man it was surprisingly tasty.
