    Just For Him

    I've started to smoke recently and so far blends with latakia have been what I've enjoyed the most. So that Shortcut to Mushrooms aromatic caught my interest; I might order some of that in the future. Good to know they ship outside of the US, I was thinking about trying to buy some from someone...

    Starting on a low budget (corn cobs, filters, and more)

    I got Squad Leader because it's considered of medium strength in various sites. I thought that by starting on a middle point I could decide whether to go lighter or stronger the next time.

    Starting on a low budget (corn cobs, filters, and more)

    Ok I'm reporting back as promised. I'll quickly describe my first experience with the Squad Leader. I got instant tongue bite on the first puff and felt very spicy, also I drawed way too much and kind of burnt a little. At first it was kind of hard and was difficult to keep the tobacco burning...

    Ok, I already ordered some pipes. I ended up ordering one tin of "HH Old Dark Fired" and one of "Squadron Leader". The choice was fairly random. It will take a while until I receive my stuff, I'll report back once I have my first smoke.

The problem in my case is that I'm not even from the capital, so availability and price here is a...

    mackeson, I'm not from the US, but I appreciate it. warren, Although you have given me good advice, and I'm grateful, I recently found out that importing these kind of products to my country could be tricky, which makes me have to consider the issues that may arise on my side after buying the...

    darwin, They have slim bits in their website catalong, but it says they only fit unfiltered pipe models http://corncobpipe.com/slim-non-filtered-bits.html Or do you mean the "danish" ones? These are supposed to fit filtered pipe models http://corncobpipe.com/danish-filtered-bits.html warren...

    Starting on a low budget (corn cobs, filters, and more)

    Hello, I've been reading about pipe smoking in the last few days and it has caught my atention. My only previous experience with smoking has been a few cuban cigars (or "habanos", in spanish). So far, what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong), is that corn cob pipes are the best way of...
