    I Did Not Enjoy That

    I had that happen around 2 years ago. Haven't smoked a pipe since. It was a really bad hit though and I was huddled over the toilet like I'd been out drinking all night. Couple that with having had surgery and it was a bad deal. Finally I'm starting to get that urge to pick it up again. I may...

    Getting Bored

    I've been out of the loop so to speak for over two years. Had surgery and got sick on a heavy nic blend and lost interest. I would just look at my pipes and get nauseated, it sucked so bad. I have since packed up my stuff but think I'm going to bring it back out and give it a go, I'm getting...

    First Timer

    Welcome! I've just recently returned and also started smoking a pipe in memory of my father. When I smoked before it was only 1 bowl a day, 2 to 3 max if I was feeling up to it, lol. Take it slow and sample all there is to sample out there. Its a fun journey!

    Former Lurkers, What Made You Step Into The Light?

    I lurked for a few days before finally making my first post. I can't remember what exactly brought me around to finally posting but I'm glad I did. Great bunch of folks here.

    How to Prevent Nausea While Smoking?

    @Embers Also, thanks for the info about blood sugar. I had no idea that is what caused the nausea and that nicotine did that. After reading that I did correlate the symptoms to that of a diabetic with a dropping blood sugar. Perhaps now I can avoid that unpleasantness and enjoy my pipes again!

    How to Prevent Nausea While Smoking?

    @Embers If I smoked a canon like you I wouldn't either lol. ;) You can blame the Black Frigate.

    What Degree of Leaf Strength?

    I can't smoke the heavy hitters....heck, I can't even attempt medium strength. I get really sick from the nicotine hit. I just bought some new tobacco blends hoping they are low nic, turns out most are aromatic's. I'm trying Molto Dolce, H&H Classic Burley Kake and Mac Baren 7 Sea's Royal. This...

    A Pipes Magazine App?

    I have asked this before too. I don't think that the integration for tapatalk costs money. I'm a member of a gaming organization that is run off of donations and they are available on tapatalk. Okay, I checked it out. Tapatalk uses a forum plugin. There is a tier for services and there is a free...

    What's Your Favorite Pipe Smoking Movie?

    Yeah, the Hobbit and LOTR were my goto movies with pipe smoking. Also, National Treasure - the Meerschaum in that movie is a beauty!

    Over the Years, Have Your Bowls per Day Increased or Decreased?

    Decreased, for me I'm at zero bowls a day and have been for at least 3 months. I had surgery last year and it really messed up my taste buds and I've just been unable to get back into it. Before I was averaging around 2 bowls a day. I miss it though and looking at these forums again is starting...

    Do You Recommend a 15 Minutes Pipe Smoking Session? :D

    Here's the thing. Most of my smokes are 15 - 30 minutes in length. This is simply because I was never told just how long a bowel lasts. Couple that with getting sick easily with nicotine and I'm to afraid to smoke longer. I've often thought I'm at the end of the bowel to find out I'm dumping...
