    Idaho (Boise/Nampa/Caldwell) Meetup?

    Anyone in the Treasure Valley interested in getting together for a smoke the weekend of the 30th? I'm thinking just going to a park, maybe Lakeview in Nampa. Let me know, and we'll figure out a time!

    Sunday's Smoke (3/4/24)

    Had a great smoke out in the Owyhees this past Sunday, at a spot called Jump Creek. It started snowing a little bit just as I pulled up around 8 in the morning. There were a couple of cars parked, but the folks who were hiking came back and left shortly after I arrived, so I had the entire area...

    Today's Smoke

    Had a nice smoke down by the river today and took some pictures to share. I found a new spot down a sportsman's access road that I had never been down before. It was next to a small privately owned airport that seemed more like an airplane graveyard than a functioning airport, which was really...

    Carrying Pipes Back In The Day

    I've been watching several documentaries and other shows as of late that are based around the turn of the century. Of course, cigarette and pipe smoking are featured heavily as they were so commonplace at the time. Today I got to wondering, though, and now I'm curious: what were common methods...

    Czech Tool

    Maybe this isn't even worth asking, but I'm curious: I usually use my Sheffield pipe knife for tamping, but have used my Czech tool the past few smokes just to change it up. I've noticed that the tools on it are very loose, and I have to hold the tool at the top to avoid pushing them out as I...

    What Was Your Most Recent Tobacco Order?

    I'm planning on placing a big tobacco order in February as a birthday gift to myself. I have a little list going of some new ones that I want to try, but thought it would be interesting to see what you all included on your most recent orders. What did you purchase? What have you tried so far...

    Native American Pipe Making

    I'm currently re-reading my favorite book of all time: 'Hanta Yo' by Ruth Beebe Hill. If you're interested in Native American culture, this is a truly fascinating and beautiful read. It's the only work the author ever produced, having worked for nearly three decades researching and interviewing...

    A Tobacco Storage Dream Come True

    This afternoon, I am sitting in my office, listening to some nice music, and enjoying some PS Luxury Navy Flake in celebration of my new (to me) tobacco storage bookcase. I've been looking for a barrister bookcase like this for almost as long as I've smoked a pipe (10+ years), and finally found...

    A Good Quote

    A haunting quote that prefaces the book I've been reading, titled 'A Wolf Called Romeo' - a beautiful story about a lone wolf who appeared near Juneau, Alaska and became friends with many of the residents and their dogs, staying there for many years until he was illegally killed by poachers. I...

    Bad Taste In The Morning

    Hi all. I've noticed that if I smoke in the late afternoon or evening, I inevitably wake up with a bad taste in my mouth and a slightly irritated throat. This happens even on nights that I have dinner after smoking, and I always brush my teeth and rinse with mouthwash before bed. I take my...

    This (Idaho) is What it's all About.

    Mornings like this are why I love smoking a pipe. Solitude, mountains, and a furry companion at my side. For those interested, this is the Owyhee mountain range, south of Nampa, Idaho. Beautiful and mysterious, and forever one of my favorite places.

    Song about a dog.

    Hello, everyone! I just got a shipment in today from the Country Squire and am smoking some of their Delta Honeydew blend. So far, I'm really enjoying it! Has anyone else tried this one? Anyhow, I've been hard at work lately making my first full length album and am re-working a few of my old...

    Crack In Tenon? (And Other Questions)

    Hello all. I was going through and deep cleaning my pipes today when I noticed that one of my stems has a cracked tenon! It seems to still be sturdy and only gives just a little bit when pressed. Do you think this is an issue, or will the stem be fine if I handle it carefully? I don't smoke too...

    Keeping Up On The Forum

    Hey all! I've been reading the forums for a long time now, but only made a couple of posts or responses. I'd like to be more involved, but was wondering: how do you all keep up to date on what's going on here in the forums? Do you usually just log in and look around to see if there's any new...

    Smoking And Songwriting

    So when I'm smoking a pipe, I'm usually working on writing and recording songs in my little bedroom studio. We're talking hours and hours of work; coming up with chord progressions, melodies, lyrics, bass/drum/lead guitar parts, etc... Which means bowls and bowls of tobacco - too many to count...

    Greetings from Idaho!

    Hey all! I've been reading here on the forum for a long time, but I want to be more active in the community and finally got around to making my account. Figured I'd start here and tell you a bit about myself! My name is Jeremy and I live out in Nampa, Idaho. I've been smoking a pipe since I...
