    Haunted Bookshop Mix?

    Well I'm having a bit of a struggle with HB and I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion about mixing it with something else, like an aro, to lighten the bitter taste.

    Rosewood pipes

    I just bought a series of handmade rosewood pipes. I was wondering if it was a good purchase, is rosewood a good wood for handmade pipes. (Kinda of a late question to ask as I already bought 5!)

    Numb and Dry Mouth

    I have been trying different blends, everything from Vapers to Englishes and Aros. Some blends kinda make my mouth feel super dry and even numb sometimes. And this does not happen everytime. Is this normal for new pipe smokers?

    Accidental Blend Turns GREAT

    Well I am new to pipes and smoking in general. So as advised I started with a few aros. I accidentally mixed Rivendell (from the Country Square) with CD Corn Cob Pipe and Button Nose together in the zip lock. Then said Oops can't separate them now, might as well load the bowl. With so many...

    So Good for Aromatics

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I just got a half pound bag of Rivendell. It took a month and a half to get to me. And it made through customs! My first bowl was like WOW! I am smiling in Bangkok.

    Chocolate and My Pipe

    Well as I have just started picking up a pipe after 30 years I stumbled on a new happiness: I just smoked a bowl of CD Autumn Evening and inadvertently was eating a bar of dark chocolate at the same time. Just saying...sweet Yes, but a great combo!

    Overseas Newbie in Bangkok
