    Oriental Suggestions

    I am definitely finding myself enjoying more Oriental-forward English blends, especially in this godawful south Florida summer heat. Recently picked up some Durbar and absolutely love the stuff. Everybody seems to rave about the McC's Grand Orientals and I'm definitely planning on picking some...

    Do I Really Need A Cob?

    So I've been at this for over a year and a half and have yet to get a cob. I know they're about as American as apple pie and baseball but I can't seem to bring myself to buy one despite their supposed smoking characteristics and low price. I know some would call it snobbery but I just can't...

    Wessex Pipes?

    I came across a nice looking pipe in the Wessex "Brown" line. Very reasonably priced sandblast with a cumberland stem. Seems like a good value. Anyone have any experience with Wessex pipes?

    Latest Acquisition

    I've become a real fan of Stanwell, as this latest purchase from P&C makes it my third. My other two have been great smokers and I'm sure this Golden Danish 140 will be no different.

    Year and a Half Pipe Reflections

    So it’s been a little over a year and a half since I started down the pipe smoking path. It’s been an enjoyable ride and I have much to thank this forum for. Although I’m not on this forum regularly, it’s made the past eighteen or so months a richer experience. So after a bowl of Haddo’s...

    Lighting/ Burning Issues with McClelland Blends

    I recently picked up a few McClelland blends to try: Samovar, Wilderness and Legends. I haven't tried any of their blends yet and was really looking forward to these three. That said, I'm ready to get rid of Legends simply because my experience with the other two has been too frustrating. It...

    New Pipe from PF Pipes!

    I happened to stumble across a great looking pipe on Instagram a few weeks ago, and seeing that my birthday was coming up, contacted the pipe maker who has a shop on Etsy known as PF Pipes. The pipe maker of PF Pipes is Paul Fucello, a NY born chef working in Vermont and making pipes on the...

    Va/Per Suggestions

    So I'm getting ready to explore the world of Va/Pers and could use some friendly advice. Having never smoked any Va/Pers I was going to ease into it without making any huge investment. Was thinking I'd try a tinned benchmark tobacco like Escudo, which everyone on this forum seems to love, as...

    The Frank Method: A Novice's Perspective

    Being new to pipe smoking (only a couple of months now), I think I have experienced all of the unpleasurable aspects of the hobby that are common to novices. And while I did have some enjoyable smokes along the way, they seemed few and far between. That has all changed since I started packing...

    Great online article: How To Get a Cool, Dry, Smoke by Eric Whitaker

    Found this great article at Outwest Tobacco while snooping around online. As a newbie I found it very informative and quite helpful. I hope it will do the same for those in the same boat. http://www.outwesttobacco.com/Cool_Smoke.htm

    Pipe Tobacco, Tongue Bite and Mouth pH

    Hey everyone. New pipe smoker with a question. I was watching a YouTube how-to video by dagnerperformance and it was mentioned that for him, certain tobacco brands (MacBaren and Dunhill), regardless of type of tobacco would cause tongue bite. What would cause that? His claim about mouth pH...

    New to the fourms with a newbie question about flavor

    Hello forum users, I'm glad to be here. After watching one too many "Dude You're Screwed" episodes with Terry Schappert pulling away on some beautiful pipes, I decided I would give pipe smoking a "real" try. Having no experience other than a handful of times with a Barontini (which I know...
