    So much infamy, hype and hysteria! I'll explain..

    I always smoke on a full stomach: never before I eat. I'm certainly not one of the Tobacco Tough Guys here, but my favourite strong blend is Bad Nun by Synjeco. Order some, fill a group 4 with it and smoke it on an empty stomach: I dare you, tough guys...Those who aren't so tough will enjoy a...

    Zippo Inserts???

    No better lighter for outdoor use than the Zippo with the pipe insert. If the fuel that comes in the black colored can is used there will be no lighter fluid taste. For indoor use I have a silver Dunhill Unique, which is quite excellent to use indoors.

    Sell me a Dunhill.

    I enjoy Dunhills, pre-transition Barlings and Ferndown pipes, among others. Dunhill pipes are not cheap, but all I have are excellent smokers and beautifully made. And if you're the sort who likes to buy and sell, they hold their value quite well. Buy a nice estate Dunhill from...

    What Tobacco Did Bing Smoke?

    Bing also smoked a lot of marihuana in his pipes. He was turned on to it by Louis Armstrong during the course of their friendship. Bing was an early proponent of the legalization of marijuana, and his publicist and business partners did their best to get Mr. Crosby to tone things down a bit so...

    The modern man

    Well, it's from the New York Times, so you know it's probably drivel. If I was like this my wife would leave me for being a "Modern Wuss." Seriously.

    Considering A Move to Oregon

    There is growing anti-gun and anti- tobacco sentiment in Washington and Oregon. The closer you get to the west, the worse it gets. Portland is a wonderful city but I like to shoot and smoke my pipe.....

    Where Are The Squadron Leader Tins? ?

    It's a great tobacco. A few years back it was hard to get, so when I saw more I bought all the store had. Still have most of it. I have a 4 drawer filing cabinet mostly filled with tobaccos I've bought over the years, so if the tobacco apocalypse happens tomorrow, I'm set for years.

    Would you advise your children to smoke a pipe?

    I suppose I have a different outlook on pipe smoking than most folks. I never drank, never smoked cigarettes, never took or smoked dope. I took up smoking a pipe almost 15 years ago after I researched the risks to my health, which I found were minimal. I love everything about pipes and...

    How much will you pay for a fraized pipe?

    As a smoking implement, there is nothing wrong with machine made pipes. And for most people that's okay. But for those folks who will spend thousands of dollars on a pipe made by Bang, Former, Knudsen, Nordh, Ivarsson and others, there is a big difference. Those people pay high $$ for...

    Would you advise your children to smoke a pipe?

    Pipe smoking? Bladder cancer? Hogwash. Not trying to be a troll, but when pipes are smoked in moderation, and not inhaled, there is almost no health risk whatsoever. Smoking pipes and cigars is not the same thing as smoking cigarettes.
