    Beck's Ol' Limey Bastard

    I've been smoking this blend for a little less than a month courtesy of my friend Clano and I cannot believe how good it is. Now when I go for a smoke it's tough to decide if it will be Engine 99, Beck's OLB, A Sterling blend, Penzance, or 50/50 Bestmake/BCA courtesy of John Clarke. Everyday has...

    Real Pipe Smoker Roll Call....

    We are the men who light up before breakfast and put the pipe down as we hit the sack in the wee hours of the morning.

    A testosterone question...

    OK for guys only, sorry Cindi; Does your pipe make you feel grandfatherly or does it spark your "T" levels? My guess is that a pipe keeps all grandfathers out there hot.

    Pipe mud

    I have a pipe that has developed a hairline crack at the base of the bowl. Does anyone have experience with pipe mud or is that a job to be sent to a restoration pro? Your suggestions/advice please.

    Bowl question???

    How many a day has already been asked, however, what size do you smoke? Does a large bowl count as two small ones? I've found that a large bowl of Penzance for example lasts nearly two hours. If I smoke a small bowl frequently I'm not satisfied and I refill for a second round. So what's your...

    Beards and Pipes

    The best look especially for a guy who smokes a full bent. Always the best reminder of the great aroma of your last and always best smoke. My word to any man without one is "You'll never know what you are missing until you try one one for size". I'm suggesting that we brothers start a trend. Let...

    Lighters - Your main and your backup

    Like many pipe smokers my primary lighter is a Zippo with a pipe insert. I always carry an inexpensive but dependable BIC backup though just in case the fluid runs short. Sort of like a cop on patrol who carries his duty weapon but also his back-up gun just in case. I have found though, that...

    Best Smoke/This man's best smoke is.....What's yours?

    Mine is anytime, stretched out and totally relaxed in a recliner; total enjoyment in a large and well packed bowl, slow mellow smoking cadence, with a latakia laden blend, gently rising through my mustache into my nostrils and lasting in excess of 90 minutes of sheer nirvana. This morning it was...

    Teeth Clencher or Hand Holder/Straight or Bent

    I love to smoke my pipes. I love every last bit of a smoke so as you might guess my teeth do the job for me. My jaw locks in place and don't bother me for an hour or more. The good part about clenching (with a rubber bit cushion of course)is that free hands can keyboard while the smoke is...
