    Nicotine Delivery - cigar vs pipe

    I've been wondering... Does nicotine delivery become more efficient with pipe smoking vs cigar smoking? There seems to be a lot of waste with cigar smoking... For instance, I could smoke a cigar for an hour... Or I could cut that same cigar up and smoke it in a pipe for HOURSSSS.

    Balance Rating

    I'm trying to classify the following tobaccos into a "balance rating" system that I can use to guestimate the balance of a blend between "sweet" and "nicotine rich" where "0" would represent perfectly balanced between the two. Anyone want to offer their take on this? I'm no expert in this arena...

    Tobacco Dust - Uses

    So, I've been considering using my collection of tobacco dust to create snus/dip. I have no idea how to do this, but also don't care to do a deep dive into it. I'm wondering if anyone has a quick way of creating extremely small batches of "dip" out of this dust just for some secondary...

    Borkhum Riff Original - 2 years on shelf.

    Just smoked a bit of Borkhum Riff that I liked less than Captain Black. I generally smoke English blends. These were just cheap trials. I haven't had cheap tobacco in a while. I let this one sit for a while and realized, either my taste buds changed. Or I like it more than I thought. Dark...

    Tamping Practices

    I've learned on my own the ideal time to tamp. I base it on the quality of the smoke. Often I have to tamp regularly. Rarely, like tonight, do I find I don't need to tamp at all for most of the bowl. These are often the best smokes I have. It's based on the quality of the pack. I'm wondering if...

    Smoking Habits

    I'm curious about the general pipe smoking habits of others. I have friends who smoke a handful of times a week. Others only occasionally, and others daily or multiple times a day. If I could post a voting question: how often do you smoke a pipe? Since I've been entertaining the smoking...

    Rustica Characteristics

    Ive been smoking rustica in a blend for a bit. I have been attempting to figure out it's characteristics. Is the pH like burley? Flavor is interesting. Kind of like a seasoned sausage. Anyone have any ideas they could bring to the table?

    Dedicated Pipes

    Do you have dedicated pipes for smoking certain blends or kinds of blends? How do you decide which pipe you are going to smoke each time?

    Golf Tee as an Accessory?

    While I'm working around the house, I love this little cob pipe. It delivers a little more quantity of flavorful tobacco than a cigarette. It's easy to carry around, easy to hold in my mouth, easy to work with while I'm working with my hands, easy to place in my pocket when I'm done with it...

    Cleaning Routine

    We all have different cleaning routines that work for our different pipes... I'm curious what yours are. I'll go first... Daily: I smoke a bowl, swab entirely with dry pipe cleaner first, then a bristled pipe cleaner next, making sure to remove tars from stem and ash from bowl, then blow out...

    Light Fire Cured Virginia - Sugar vs. Nicotine Content

    Considering that flue cured virginias are known for their sugar content - where would a fire-cured virginia land? It is not a different type of tobacco, it's the same but with a curing method that supposedly produces more nicotine and less sugar? Anyone have any definitive information regarding...

    South Texas Crossroads Pipe Club

    Do any clubs or shops exist around South Texas between Houston and Corpus?

    Cobb Repair

    This may not completely qualify as a "repair" job, but more of a "secure it" job... I've got a loose shank on both this pipe and another MM hardwood pipe. Any suggested "repairs" (besides just shoving it in harder) to keep the shank secured to the bowl? My preference is to NOT use chemical...

    Shipping Tobacco

    I live in Texas, and I have found that there are regulations on shipping tobacco that prevent me from shipping to my brother. I would like to find out how to legally ship tobacco. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to make that happen?

    Howdy!

    In case it is not clear... I'm a Texan. I've been smoking various forms of tobacco infrequently for 20 years. In the last two years I have picked up pipe smoking as a frequent hobby. At first, I tried basic cheaper blends on PipesAndCigars.com such as captain black. Then I moved on to non...
