    Dan Tobacco

    Brazz is right on - Blue Note is just about my favorite aromatic. -Andrew

    Need advice

    I'd return it and ask him to check the drilling and fit before sending it out. I'm not expecting perfection from a Peterson, but still I do want something well-drilled and properly fitted. Now, sometimes things change during shipment. I bought a pipe from a local carver in person at my local...

    Favorite Pipe Smoking Musician

    Lots of good ones mentioned so far. I'll cast my vote for Phil Keaggy. -Andrew

    My first Savinelli

    Beautiful pipe! Savinelli's are excellent values too. I'm sure you'll love it even more once it is broken in. Enjoy! -Andrew

    Bad Luck with Bjarne Vikings...

    I think you just have some bad luck. I've got a Viking as well that I love. Of course, this isn't a scientific study. -Andrew

    TAPS Pipe & Tobacco Show

    TAPS show was great. There are threads with pics over on a few other forums (Brothers of the Briar and Christian Pipe Smokers). I scored a sweet Brissett pipe and 13 tins of good stuff. -Andrew

    Breaking in a new pipe

    I've never done the honey coat thing. It usually takes 5-10 (closer to 5), but I agree that it is a "feel thing." -Andrew

    Tobacco suggestions?

    I'm not really much of an aromatic smoker either, but I keep a few good ones around for a change of pace or when smoking around a big crowd of folks. Without knowing UK availability I'd recommend Dan's Blue Note (not Altadis Blue Note) - kind of rich fruity thing, and C&D Autumn Evening - Maple...

    Complaints about Spring

    Yes, yard work and pollen rank up there with the the downsides of Spring. But I'll still take them both over Winter any day. -Andrew

    Whats in your CD player

    What's a CD, grandpa? :) Of course the sound of CDs is far superior to MP3 (or at least badly compressed MP3). Actually, I get most of my music in the cars these days via XM Radio. But the last album I selected to listen to was Wes Montgomery/Wynton Kelly "Smokin' at the Half Note." (seems an...

    email notifications

    Hi guys, Can anyone tell me how to make it so that I don't get an email notification every time someone posts a reply on a forum thread that I have posted to? I don't see a way to do this under Settings - Notifications. Thanks! -Andrew

    Burning Leaves

    Reminds me of an old Mad Magazine strip from way back. It was "The Lighter Side of..." whatever. So guy is smoking a cigar in his house. His wife is disgusted by it and tells him to go out and do some chores. So he goes out and starts burning a pile of leaves. The wife says, "Ah... burning...

    Burley, Latakia and Perique

    I was immediately thinking "Crowley's Best" as I read your question... until I got to the end :) Can't really think of any others that fit that bill quite so well. -Andrew

    Welcome new members. Introduce yourselves.

    Hi folks, My name is Andrew and I'm in Wake Forest, NC (though I'm originally a New Yorker). I've been smoking 8 years or so. I frequent a few of the other pipe forums from time to time, so if my name or avatar look familiar, there you go. Anyway, I just discovered this site. I figure more pipe...
