    The Problem Pipe

    All, I have a Dunhill Don that I use for smoking non-aromatics. This pipe has been nothing but trouble. The bowl diameter is a little over 3/4 of an inch and is about 1 3/4 of an inch in depth. I have tried packing the pipe loose, tight, in-between and yet I cannot keep the pipe lit. Any...

    Apocalypse WW1 (Pipes O'Plenty

    Anyone else ever watch Apocalypse World War 1? First, it is a great documentary series. Second, pipes o'plenty, every other scene has someone smoking a pipe. All kinds of styles are on display. One scene has a German or Austrian soldier smoking a massive pipe. Perhaps the pipe brought a touch of...

    A Natural Conspiracy Against Me Smoking

    As a new year trudges on, I can't help but think that the fates are aligned against me and are keeping me from my pipe. A happy wife is supposed to equate to a happy life, and so there is no smoking in the house. The temp outside is below zero and so smoking outdoors is none too appealing. My...

    Cubans?

    Any thoughts about the possibility of Cuban cigars getting back on the market in my lifetime? I am not a big cigar guy, but I do love Punch Habanos.

    Tin Collector?

    Anyone out there collect tins? I have been organizing my cellar for some time now and have transferred many tobaccos to jars. As such, I have a large selection of new tins for you. It is that or recycling.

    How to Date Esoterica Tobaccos?

    Does anyone know how to date Esoterica tobaccos? I am growing my seller and would like to know production dates if possible. If I can't place a date on the tobacco then I will have to list out the date I bought it. This would be less than desirable as some of these bags are seriously old or at...

    Pricing Tobaccos

    All, I have been cleaning out my cellar of tobaccos to make room, but I am thinking that my prices or tobaccos may not be desirable. Example, I am selling my HH Vintage Syrian Latakia from 2012-13 for $70. This is roughly $30 above its original retail. I have seen online vendors selling it for...

    No Clear Link Between Secondhand Smoke and Lung Cancer

    So, I am reading up on tobacco legislation and came across an interesting article from the Journal of The National Cancer Institute which states that they have found no clear link between secondhand smoke and lung cancer. What are the chances of this fact playing a role in overturning decades of...

    An Experiment

    I know I am asking for trouble but here goes. I recently had a tobacco that was bone dry. I rehydrated in and have brought it back to life. That said, it was not that great of a smoke. I am thinking about sealing it in a tin and baking it. My thinking is that the stuff is already trash, so why...

    Iwan Ries & CPCC

    Tobaccos Comparison

    Just a thought on different tobaccos equated to food. Dip = Hard Candy Snuff = Condiment Cigarettes' = Potato Chip Cigar = A fine meal Pipe = after diner port Thoughts?

    A Self-Imposed Respite

    After a bad few weeks of tongue bite, I am stepping back from the pipe for a week. I rarely smoke during the week as time is in short supply, and I already hot box my smoke as it is. Being rushed will not aid in this. When I return to the pipe, I shall pack it a little lighter, smoke it a little...
