Cigar Beetles?
Have any of you regular cigar smokers had to deal with these? I've been a cyclical cigar smoker for probably 12+ years now and can't ever recall seeing one of my sticks ruined by bug holes. I've bought from all over, stored the cigars in cedar humidors, tupperdors, plastic bags, various temp...- eugenepark

Does Nicotine Have A Flavor?
I know what you may be thinking.. no dummy it doesn't. But the few times I've tried alternative forms of tobacco like snus or nicorette gum, it has given off a very recognizable spicy note. It could also be described as tingly depending on how you think about flavors. However, in smoked forms...- eugenepark

Lemonade Iced Tea Not A Good Pairing
Last week I bought a jug of Gold Peak lemonade iced tea and started to have it as my drink while smoking my pipes. All of a sudden my pipes started to taste just terrible. I could only get an old ash tray taste from anything I smoked. Didnt put two and two together and started to think I had...- eugenepark

H&H Black House - Does It Have a Sweet Room Note?
EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Usually when I smoke, my sense of smell gets so overwhelmed that I am incapable of discerning room note. Tonight I smoked some Black House while screwing around in the garage. Put the pipe down, walked outside to check my mailbox, and then on...- eugenepark

Is One of My Czech Tools Fake?
To remain impartial, I won't give my opinion yet. I'm not even sure if these can be "faked" so there's also that.- eugenepark

Your Opinion on Kentucky Fire-Cured Tobacco?
EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title ( See Rule 9 ) I have tried this both as part of a non-aromatic blend and also as a cigar made by Drew Estate. I tried it with an open mind and a fresh palette and.. sorry I just can't do it. It's just too smoky in a way that I can' t seem to tolerate. It...- eugenepark

Hearth and Home Magnum Opus
Does it take a while to appreciate this stuff? I am on my 2nd bowl and I can't seem to get much out of it flavor-wise. It burns REALLY well and smokes cool, and even has a nice scent, but I feel like it hasn't lived up to its name just yet. It was quite dry straight out of the tin, so it went...- eugenepark

MM Hardwood Great Dane - $14 well spent
I picked up one of these pipes recently: https://corncobpipe.com/great-dane-spool-maple-hardwood-pipe.html And wow! Talk about a great smoker! It's got a nice deep bowl that is easy to pack, and the draw is just PERFECT for me. The initial smoke did have some unrecognized flavors, but once the...- eugenepark

Matrix of blends across brands?
Is anyone aware of a picture or chart that shows the equivalent blends across multiple brands of tobacco? This would probably apply to non aromatics mostly. For example, it would show Dunhill Nightcap and then show that GL Pease Quiet Nights is similar and then Sutliffs equivalent blend would...- eugenepark

Blended tobaccos - get an even amount of each leaf type?
On the subject of tobaccos comprised of various leaves, like Virginia, oriental, and Latakia: Is it necessary or even worthwhile to grab a fair mix of all colors when loading up the bowl? Or is the flavor and aroma so embedded into the tin that it won’t matter? Admittedly I have never picked out...- eugenepark

New guy here
Hello all. Joined the forum as I am getting very interested in pipes. My favorite current smoke is Hearth & Home Blackhouse out of my Big Ben pipe. I bought the Blackhouse on a whim and can't get enough of the flavor!- eugenepark
