    How Do You Clench?

    With most of my pipes I can hook my teeth onto part of the stem and dangle it, so I tend not to clench very much at all

    Tobacconist in Glasgow, Scotland

    I live in Scotland but not in the Central Belt (where Glasgow and Edinburgh are, I'm technically in the Highlands) so I just buy all my tobacco-related stuff online. I have heard of the Smoke Lounge & bought a few pipes online from the Pipe Shop in Edinburgh, which is meant to be quite good...

    My three rules of pipe smoking

    I got a friend of mine that smokes cigarettes into smoking a pipe to take the strain off his lungs a bit. I gave him that exact advice, though admittedly I don't follow it myself. My pipe right now is so hot I can't touch it and I'm puffing away but I don't really care

    Just A Pipe

    When I first smoked a pipe I'd never smoked a cigarette, and I still never have. I would consider smoking a cigarette in my pipe & gladly smoke rolling tobacco in it, but I don't have access to any cigarettes worth trying that with & cigarettes are prohibitively expensive anyway. I would maybe...

    Should I superglue my stem back together?

    The pipe is a "Zorr" (I think Czech or Ukrainian) pipe. It served me well until now

    Should I superglue my stem back together?

    I was cleaning one of my pipes and accidentally split my pipe stem in half when reinserting it. I believe it's acrylic, not vulcanite. It broke quite cleanly in half, I'm not sure why exactly but I must have put force on the wrong part. I want to try supergluing it back together because the...

    Cigari di Toscano

    Regarding Toscanos and other Italian-style cigars (like Nostrano del Brenta & Ambasciator Italico), what are folks' thoughts on cutting them? My inclination is to smoke them amezzatto/in halves at all times as I have tried smoking them intero/whole before, but it lasted forever and had a tight...

    Lapsang Souchong Smokey Tea

    I'm no tea expert but I think I prefer black teas from Assam and Ceylon because that's what I've grown up drinking, albeit not the best quality examples. We start drinking tea young in the UK; my first cup of tea with milk and sugar must have been at age 5 or 6, although I don't take sugar...

    Lapsang Souchong Smokey Tea

    Those "Russian caravan" teas you can get from various companies are also quite nice I think. It has a degree of smokiness as it contains Lapsang Souchong along with other leaves. I always drink tea when I smoke a pipe, but due to my UK/Irish heritage that means it's just standard black tea from...

    Lapsang Souchong Smokey Tea

    There was a good channel on Youtube called Tea 'n' Tobacco. Unfortunately it is no longer active.

    Adenoids Affecting Pipe Smoking?

    @bluto Haemorrhoids? That depends on what end you're smoking from. That's a pretty novel technique though, I'll give you that; I mean, I've heard of the "breath method" but... @Hap Arnold Wow that's great, thank you so much!

    Adenoids Affecting Pipe Smoking?

    Hi there, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but I wanted to run a question past you guys. Would the adenoids (or lack thereof) have an effect on tasting tobacco? I ask because I had mine removed at a young age along with my tonsils and I sometimes find I can't taste things as...

    Tobacco Recommendations

    I like to smoke Toscano cigars in a cheroot holder I bought on ebay from Italy. It is slightly longer than my other cigar holders/mouthpieces because it accepts a 9mm filter, which is handy for retrohaling Toscano Anticos to get more flavour. It also provides a more clenchable, pipe-like...

    My Final Dunhill Order

    I bought the whole line up of Dunhill tins in the last two months, with extras for the few blends I actually liked. My hope is this will be good trading stock for the future

    Effect of Cavendish in Latakia blends?

    I'm currently enjoying some Rattray's 7 Reserve and I'm just wondering about why cavendish has been added to Rattray Scottish blends - specifically Black Malloray, Red Rapparee and so on. I do definitely get some kind of similar experience to full black cavendish aromatics I've smoked in that...

    First Smoke Clay Pipe

    @Halfdan If you want you could try that thing the Irish allegedly used to do and dip the stem of your clay pipe in a pint of beer before smoking. The liquid helps prevent the unglazed stem sticking to your lips, I hear

    Tobacco Recommendations

    St. Bruno and Ogden's Walnut Flake in the UK have quite prominent Kentucky leaf, though it's not very dark fired I don't think. Italian Toscano cigars (cheroots really) are also rolled with Kentucky leaf if you would be so inclined; I recommend the Antico ones as they are very dark and...

    Pipe Smoking Villain in "The Harder They Come" (1972), Jamaica

    @dottiewarden It's a nice sitter, isn't it? It seems to fit his character really well, I wonder if it was a part of his costume or just something the actor smoked already. @mikethompson That's really interesting, I wonder if they based it on a real example someone in production had?

    Pipe Smoking Villain in "The Harder They Come" (1972), Jamaica

    I was just enjoying Jimmy Cliff's movie "The Harder They Come" about a talented reggae artist that turns to crime to make ends meet. In this scene I noticed the evil record company boss guy is smoking a pipe, quite a nice one at that. I just saw it and thought you guys may be interested. For...

    Fishermen...Your Batter Recipe?

    That sounds delicious, Bluto. I'd like to try capelin. On the subject of roe, cod roe is a favourite of mine - first cooked in water gently then chilled, sliced, dipped in egg & breadcrumbs and fried in discs.
