    West Louisiana

    I recently PCS'd to Louisiana and had to leave many of my favorite shops behind. Is anyone familiar with any local pipe shops? Hopefully I can avoid having to make weekend excursions to Houston or New Orleans solely for the purpose of buying tobacco.

    Escudo?

    I’ve seen a couple forum members posting about leaving escudo in the rear-view. Had the blend changed? Prices too high now? What started this fall from grace?

    Nirvana Smokes

    When you surface from the pipe trance after a nirvana smoke what do you find is more common? The pipe and the tobacco just really clicked thus causing the experience, or the circumstances surrounding that bowl which primed you for the experience. Say you finished a home project, you got the...

    An Internal Dilemma

    As a relatively new pipe smoker that had the misfortune to start smoking Dunhill and McClelland blends shortly before their discontinuation I have a few of these said discontinued blends such as Balkan Blue, Durbar and Ye Olde Signe. My dilemma comes when I consider what I want to smoke. Do I...

    From Massachusetts to Virginia

    Virginia now has a proposed House Bill (HB93) mimicking that of Massachusetts: the sale or distribution of flavored tobacco products prohibited; civil penalty. Prohibits the sale or distribution of flavored tobacco products, defined in the bill, and creates a civil penalty of $1,000 for a first...

    All Day Blend?

    Jim always ends his blend reviews with the repeat-ability of every blend. I'm curious to know what everybody's all day blends are. Other than the obvious Carter Hall and other such OTC blends.

    Some Notes On Dunbar

    I set some Dunbar out to dry last night, intending to smoke it in my XL Ben Wade but I realized this morning I had already packed it away for thanksgiving. So I thought why not do some experimenting in a few different pipes. In the Savinelli 125 Alligator: -Full bodied, deep dark flavor...

    First Impression on Penny Farthing

    I recently received an opened tin of Penny Farthing so I smoked it very dry. The first couple puffs had the powerful zing of the Perique. After that the Virginia's and Perique were trading turns in the spotlight. When I increased my pace a little I found that the bready, earthy taste of the...

    Shipping To The UK

    A buddy of mine who is schooling in Scotland expressed some interest in tacking up the hobby, so I'm making him a starter package to ship over. Anybody have any experience with shipping to the UK? Time considerations? amount of tobacco that wouldn't cause issues? etc.

    C&D Sale Suggestions

    My tobacco blend experience is still pretty low as I haven't tried many as of yet. In light of SP's sale on C&D blends what does everyone consider the staple C&D blends that every pipe smoker should try?

    eBay Find

    Was cruising on eBay and found a barely used Ben Wade estate 79 for a steal. Just cleaned it up and looking forward to smoking it

    McLelland Replacement

    Who is your selected blender for replacing our beloved McLelland Virginia blends? C&D is a go to for Burley, GLP for English/Latakia etc. But who is the powerhouse for Virginia now that the throne has been vacated?

    Complex Blend

    I'm curious as to what everyone considers their complex tobacco blend. The blend that you reach for when you want a deep contemplative smoke. One which you discover a different subtle nuance to each time you smoke.

    Germain

    I saw some threads from a few years ago about smokers haven blends and the FDA restrictions potentially cutting off the supply. Did that ever happen or is there still SH blends available in the US?

    Sherlock Blend For New Sherlock Series Pipe?

    Just got a new Pete Sherlock series in and in that same spirit I'm trying to think of a blend to dedicate to it. Anybody have any suggestions for a English that packs a big wallop worthy of Sir Arthur?

    How Do You Pair?

    I’ve always been interested in how other people choose their end of night combo. Do you pair a tobacco to a drink or a drink to a tobacco? When it comes to wine I’ll always pair it with what I’m eating. But usually I’ll pair my tobacco to what I’m drinking at the end if the night. What is your...

    Manelli?

    Anybody have any experience with Manelli pipes? I saw one comment saying they look cheap but nobody who’s actually handled or smoked one. Thoughts?

    Small pipes and Large hands.

    I commented before about how comical smaller pipes looked in my hand. Just got a Peterson 313 in today from eBay. Definitely going to have to be a clincher.

    Trouble Clenching

    I’m mostly a holder, my large hands make it almost comical if I’m smoking a smaller pipe. However, I bought a few smaller pipes to clench so I can smoke while I’m working with my hands. I don’t have a problem finding a good spot to set it and puff away but I’m having trouble with the amount of...

    Mellow Pipe?

    I'm still brand new to pipe smoking, which will soon be abundantly obvious. As I have been reading through various threads and posts I have seen such sayings as a "sweet smoking pipe" and a "pipe break in period" or even a getting pipes to "mellow out." What am I missing here? I know that you...
