I Will Be Introducing a Cigar Guy To Pipe Smoking...
A business colleague of mine is a recreational cigar smoker. He doesn't smoke daily. He's more of an out-with-the-guys smoker, but I gather he does it fairly often when he is out with the guys. And yet, he lamented wrestling with a humidor, etc. When I told him that I had tried pipe smoking...- deckpiper

Idea for Tobacco Makers: Jar Labels for each Product
Or, even if they don't want to provide labels for free, give the customer a chance to pay for them. A round label for a lid, and a rectangular label for the side of the jar.- deckpiper

Boswell Tins...need jarring?
I immediately jar all the tobacco I buy from Seattle Pipe Club and GLPease because their tins aren't really sealed. I leave the Samuel Gawith, Hearth & Home and MacBaren because those tins are vacuum sealed. At least, that is my understanding. I just got some Boswell tobacco for the first...- deckpiper

When You Tell Your Doctor You Smoke a Pipe...
Just started pipe smoking. I've always said I don't smoke. When I tell my doctor, will it be reported to the government/my insurance provider? Will my insurance costs go up? I'm in the United States.- deckpiper

Travelling by Air with Tobacco in the US
I'm wondering if TSA will give me any trouble if I take a mason jar of tobacco in a carry on. (I don't usually check bags.) Will they know what it is? Will they think it is something worse than mere pipe tobacco? Are these silly questions?- deckpiper

Made my own blend last night
I had bought a bunch of local brick & mortar blends, none of which were doing it for me. Each had something going for it, but they also had some strikes against them, and I found myself not reaching for them. Then, it occurred to me: Why not make my own blend. So, I did. Some vanilla black...- deckpiper

Whoo! I just burned through a Night Cap bowl in record time...
I was fine sitting there, but when I got up to come in, I was a bit dizzy. I think I'll go a bit slower next time.- deckpiper

G.L. Pease - Quiet Nights - great newbie's first English
This was my first English. Wow. Loved it. When I opened the tin, I smelled it and thought, "Uh oh. I may be an aromatic guy. Smells too strong, or too...weird." Probably just my inexperience though, as you will see. I filled my bowl, and proceeded to smoke for an hour or so, with a glass of...- deckpiper

Can someone summarize the FDA regulations that are shutting down blenders?
I started this hobby after something apparently went down. I'm aware that several companies that used to sell blends no longer do so. A local store in my area mentioned that they can no longer blend tobacco because of the FDA. Is there an "FDA for Dummies" description of what happened? Did...- deckpiper

Newbie's first "two-days-in-a-row" smoke
The smoke: Sterling Balkan in a cob. Accompaniment: a bit of Johnny Walker Black Label on the rocks. Up till now, I was doing 1-2 pipes a week. I'm not sure if I just enjoy the time-out...or if nicotine is making me crave a smoke, but I find myself thinking about making time for my next pipe...- deckpiper

Tonight's Smoke...And a Lesson Learned by a Newbie
I don't smoke every day. I use it as a time out from the hustle and bustle of life (and as a reward for sticking to my new exercise regime). Tonight, a mid-weekday night, I had the house to mayself.

Corn Cob Pipes
Just had a smoke on the deck. I hadn't yet tried out my Country Gentleman corn cob pipe from Missouri Meerschaum... ...and I thought I would try out my "Black Vanilla" tobacco in it (with a glass of Federalist Cabernet Sauvignon)...decent pairing. First time with that tobacco, and I'm sorry...- deckpiper
