An Experiment...
I had my first bowl of this last night, and I’ve done a fairly good job here! The Latakia wasn’t as assertive as I expected, but it’s definitely there. I can also taste some sour, musty notes from the Turkish. I can see why people refer to these as “condiment tobaccos”, too. They oddly seem to...- Orophin1990

What Are You Listening To ~ JANUARY 2020
I’ve discovered a band from Memphis called Southern Avenue, who do soul blues. Well worth a listen if you’re into that sort of thing.- Orophin1990

Charatan Tobaccos
Does anyone have any experience with these? I’ve seen them touted in several sites as direct replacements for the old Dunhill blends and they seem to have the whole line up covered (or at least the famous ones I’ve heard of and a few I hadn’t). I am unfortunately too young to have experienced...- Orophin1990

How Do You Reconcile With Pipe Smoking's Health Risks?
Thank you, so am I! I’m so glad I finally did it. To continue your theme, I’m constantly astonished at people’s lack of basic observational skills and situational awareness. I’d have though the notion that you can’t see over your damn shoulder would be obvious. Take my near miss. The fact that...- Orophin1990

How Do You Reconcile With Pipe Smoking's Health Risks?
I’m a relatively new rider- finally passed my test and bought a Honda shadow last year at age 28 after a lifetime of wanting a Harley. I love it. There’s a freedom and an excitement to riding a bike which just isn’t present in a car. I’ve already had one twat pull out in front of me. I was...- Orophin1990

Which Side of The Mouth?
I mostly clench on the left but often move it to the other side to move the smoke over a different part of my tongue. It never remains on one side for the whole smoke.- Orophin1990

Tobacco Tastes the Same as Cigarettes
From one cigarette smoker to another- all aromatics tasted the same to me (I.e. flavourless) and I found it hard to find any significant differences in flavour in straight virginias. They all just tasted like very good quality cigarettes- certainly nicer than my usual Drum Blue, but not blowing...- Orophin1990

How Do You Reconcile With Pipe Smoking's Health Risks?
It’s an interesting question. Tobacco is dangerous, of course, and it’s nice that we’re not pretending otherwise. But my attitude has always been that I am going to die of something, so why avoid things that I enjoy doing just because they’re dangerous? That’s changed slightly just recently. I...- Orophin1990

New from the UK
Thanks very much! I too was (or am- it may be too early to get all full of myself) a roll-up man. I started on Golden Virginia, went through an Old Holborn phase, and finally settled on Drum Original, which I have smoked for years.- Orophin1990

An Experiment...
Today I tried blending tobacco for the first time- frankly, it was this that spurred me to join. I have smoked a pipe regularly but infrequently for about eight years now. After years of Borkum Riff Cavendish, I tasted Squadron Leader and that was the end of that- I want English blends. In my...- Orophin1990

New from the UK
Hello all. New and inexperienced pipe smoker from south east England here. Mostly a cigarette smoker with the occasional pipe, currently in the process of packing in the paper tubes and hoping to limit myself to the occasional pipe moving forward. I have smoked a pipe on regular but infrequent...- Orophin1990
