    Contemplative Silliness?

    Last Thursday, I went to a cigar group I have been going to occasionally. I had a Brickhouse Maduro. While I was there, after the others had left, I had perhaps another 30 minutes left for my cigar and I began to contemplate about the variances between a cigar and a pipe. I ignored the obvious...

    Jorge Cigars - Question

    I accidentally posted this in the “What are you smoking (cigar)” section…. but I see that is not really the correct place (asking to have it removed). So I started a separate thread….. I have been trying out new (for me) Jorge cigars and they are quite pleasant….. the latest has been a 70x6...

    Perdomo Habano

    I just returned from an afternoon at a cigar lounge, and I thought I would look up what I indulged in in the search engine here to see what fellow pipe smokers have had to say about it. Either no one has tried it yet, or I am not using our search engine successfully, because I could not find...

    “Drew Estate Cigars”

    I would be interested in hearing the thoughts of anyone here who may have indulged in a Drew Estate cigar. Even though I am primarily a pipe smoker, for the past few months I have bee going to a weekly “meet-and- greet” at a cigar shop. It has been a helluva lot of fun and with no close pipe...

    Pipe and/or Cigar Smoking Friendly Places in London, Ontario?

    In a few weeks I have a work trip to London, Ontario and I was hoping to learn of any pipe and/or cigar smoking friendly places. My searching this far has not turned up much. An indoor “lounge” or an outdoor patio area would be nice. And, if there is such a place that also serves beer or...

    First “Cigar Bar” Experience

    Even though I am a grey-haired and bearded old “codger”, I still sometimes get to have a new experience or two. In regards to smoking, pipes and pipe tobaccos have been at least 95% of my effort over the decades. I have had a few occasional cigars over the decades, but truth-be-told I suspect...

    Anyone Recognize this Pipe?

    I found this interesting “beast”. Anyone recognize it?

    Thoughts on Retrohailing a Cigar…

    I would enjoy hearing of folks impressions about retrohailing cigars. I have smoked pipes for crouching upon 50 years, and regularly enjoyed retrohailing all that time with pipes (heck, I did so even well before I had even heard about or knew what the term “retrohailing” even meant 🙂)...

    Ogdens’ Original Flake

    While perusing some aspects of the 1960s British Psychedelia group, “Small Faces” I read about how one of their album covers was a parody of a popular pipe tobacco of the time. In further exploration, I found that this pipe tobacco’s name has morphed due to various regulations in England for...

    Passing Out Cigars?

    I was wondering about this the other day, and thought I would pose the question here: It used to be common upon the birth of a new kid, that the Dad would pass out cigars. I did this for all of my kid’s births. I usually had a mix of real cigars and also chocolate or bubblegum ones to give...

    Butz-Choquin Ultima Dublin

    Out of curiosity, I searched through the forums about Butz-Choquin pipes, and there was relatively scant discussion about them. I have a BC Ultima Dublin just like in this photo. I have found it wonderful for many, many years. I AM NOT interested in selling it, as it is one of my favorite...

    Smoking Animal Dung

    The “5000 year” thread reminded me of a news report about the fellow who gained fame for not having bathed for 60+ years….. he was recently in the news again because he finally acquiesced and bathed…. and then passed away relatively shortly thereafter. I bring up this news account because one...

    Have You Ever had a Pipe “Burn Through”?

    With the discussion we have been having about the value of “cake”….. we all know the adage of it being potentially useful to prevent “burn through” of the briar. But….. what I am wondering is how many of us, if any have HAD a pipe “burn through,” and if so, what you may think had been the cause...

    International Enjoy A Cigar Day

    I just happened to be moseying around on the Internet and realized that in addition to May 31st having been “World No Tobacco Day” it was ALSO “International Enjoy a Cigar Day” as well. The irony is humorous of course...... but, I suspect we know which day was more celebrated here. ? I...

    Pipe Smoker on “Life Below Zero:NT”

    It is on my DVR for viewing soon, but a new (to me anyhow) version of “Life Below Zero” called “Northwest Territories” in the US and “Canada” in Canada appears to fester one fellow who is a pipe smoker. I like the other two versions of LBZ, so I am thinking this one will also be good!

    Manual Transmissions

    Since we had the Pick-Up thread and the pet peeve thread..... I thought I would combine the two in what may hopefully be an interesting discussion: I am very disappointed at the veritable lack of manual transmissions available on vehicles in the U.S. anymore. For me, I find a manual...

    1800’s

    I have moseyed around on the Internet today, but have had little (no) luck. I was wondering if anyone can post or knows of nice photographs of some older BRIAR pipes from the late 1800s? I guess in a broader context, it would be interesting to see ANY photographs of briar pipes from the late...
