    My Pipe Smoking Buddy is Gone

    I am very sorry for you and your whole family. A pet IS a member of the family and the loss is hard. I feel nervousness myself as our pooch is getting up in years too and I know that day is coming.

    Absolute Mildest Nicotine With Latakia and/or Orientals

    How might you feel about the herbal mixtures that are available in some places? I am not meaning marijuana, but I have seen in some places some sort of herbal “tobacco substitute” that would likely have no nicotine. I have never tried any of those things, so I have no knowledge of them. But...

    Anyone Recognize this Pipe?

    I found this interesting “beast”. Anyone recognize it?

    Savinelli 🐊

    I have not yet seen the gator, and I am not so great at searching it up…. so you have a photo of yours?

    I wish I Could Smoke my Pipes.

    It sounds like you have previously smoked pipe tobacco successfully (from the above quote)….so perhaps the old tobacco has spoiled in some fashion? Perhaps a fresh ounce or two to try may yield positive results? Worth a shot. And, perhaps if you are now somehow sensitized to cavendish...

    Which Beverage with which Tobacco?

    I tend to find no SPECIFIC pairings…. but I always DO parings (pipe & beverage). To me there is always enjoyment in seeing how each complements the other. Pipe tobaccos run the gamut, though “codger” blends are my primary. Beverages…. whatever strikes my fancy….. water, various pops (sodas)...

    Need Some Advice, Please!

    Eventually, the urge to buy more pipe tobacco blends will reduce. Something else will capture your fancy. Until then, if you can afford the leaf (and the wife’s grief), I would just ride it out. Why quell the fun of it is not hurting anything?

    Why do You Smoke a Pipe?

    Bit then again, I would have say the glass ashtray on my desk is an even more effective paperweight. The pipe SITTING in the ashtray… therefore is the “cat’s meow” I guess. 🙂

    Why do You Smoke a Pipe?

    A tobacco pipe can and has been something I have used as a short term paper weight on my desk, when I am not actively smoking the pipe. 🙂

    Thoughts on Retrohailing a Cigar…

    Interesting…. Had not heard the term “snorking” before.

    Buying Multiples of the Same Pipe

    I have done this and do this often with pipe shapes and finishes I especially enjoy. My Dad, who would have been 100 this year did so as well. However, growing up, my Dad also had two identical cars (other than color)… one for him and one for my Mom. And the apple apparently doesn’t fall...

    Thoughts on Retrohailing a Cigar…

    I would enjoy hearing of folks impressions about retrohailing cigars. I have smoked pipes for crouching upon 50 years, and regularly enjoyed retrohailing all that time with pipes (heck, I did so even well before I had even heard about or knew what the term “retrohailing” even meant 🙂)...

    Puffing like Dirty Harry

    My condolences….. ketchup is…. uh….. (to put it kindly)…. The worst condiment…. and should be reserved only IMO for French fries…. and even then there are far better alternative for French fries. 🙂

    How to Avoid Ashtray Mouth?

    For me, personally, I do not tend to think I have “ashtray” mouth but instead have “lingering pipe tobacco essence” mouth. 🙂 That said, I personally tend to enjoy those lingering flavors and odors, so it is a generally positive experience. For those that are around me close enough to...

    Is a Zippo Suitable for Pipes?

    As many others have suggested, the Zippo is a fine lighter for pipes. I have used Zippos for 40 some years. I think that if you allow yourself to practice some of the many pointers people have provided, you CAN find the Zippo quite suitable and enjoyable to ignite your pipe. That said, you...

    How Many Bowls do You Smoke a Day?

    For me it has varied a fair amount over the decades. When I would allow myself to smoke my pipe as I please, unfettered, for a lot of years it would average between 8-12 bowls a day. When I have tried/worked at being “regulated” in some fashion, sometimes it would be (a challenging) zero, or...

    E A Carey Pipes for New Pipe Smokers

    It is funny, those Carey ads always struck me as “huckster-ish” seeing them in the back end of magazines along with “Sea Monkeys”, “X-Ray Specs” and all sorts of other doo-dads and K-Tel products in the 1970s and 1980s…. that I never considered getting an E.A. Carey pipe. From what I have...

    Pipe Sighting at the Movies

    In the new film, “The Holdovers” Paul Giamatti portrays a pipe smoking teacher in this movie set in the early 1970s. A very good film.

    How Long to Rest a Pipe?

    I assume then, that your estimate of rest times will gravitate lower with the non-Churchwarden. 😉

    How Long to Rest a Pipe?

    Hmm, the amount of time to knock out the ashes would be ~20 seconds (generously), and perhaps ~25 seconds to refill the bowl (presuming your pouch is handy and you are not itching to switch blends)….. So, on average…. ~45 seconds (~3/4 a minute) is all that is necessary. Now, I know this...
