    The worst feeling in the world

    Here in the UK we dont have mailboxes, the postman delivers it right to my door, and through the letterbox. But I just try and forget about it, do whatever and it turns up nice and quickly. Post normally takes about 1-2 days, and a couple of hours if its express delivery.

    Clay Tobacco Pipes = Need Your Opinions....etc,..

    How are clay pipes? Clay pipes a lovely, they don't ghost, they're fairly cheap and give a nice flavourful smoke. the draw is smooth and they dont really need time to rest. They give you the full, unaltered flavour of the tobacco and they're just as good as a cob. Are they nice to smoke? As I...

    Snuff

    Snuff never really appealed to me, bit weird sniffing it and all, and its addictive.

    Pipe Grip Ambidextrous (or Lack Therof)?

    I'm ambidextrous anyway, but my left hand is dominant, if that makes sense. I feel perfectly comfortable holding my pipe in any hand, in any side of my mouth.

    Trying my hand at blending

    Damn, sounds nice man. You're in the US right? Might try and get some, but dunno about how much taxes ect. would be to the UK. Thats if you're comfortable with posting overseas of course.

    Wider or Deeper?

    Wider bowls make the baccy burn unevenly, so for me its all about deep bowled pipes. Tobacco burns in an upside down pyramid, and when the bowl gets wider a lot of the tobacco on the outside rim doesn't burn.

    How many ounces do u smoke in a week?

    I only smoke 1 or 2 bowls per day, so it takes me a good few weeks to get through a 50g tin.

    House of Calabash-First Pipe of the Day

    I've never tried a House of Calabash and unlikely that I will for the foreseeable future since they're based in the states (import tax is too high in the UK). But sounds a wonderful blend, the legitimacy of the 40 years ageing is questionable, but regardless it sounds a good smoke!

    Historic Tobaccos

    It would be interesting to see if you cant find some blending recipes on the web, or indeed at your library or something. To find the recipes of tobaccos that time forgot, or are no longer in production. Many tobacconist and websites now offer custom blends, and so you could ask for one using...

    White Ash

    Personally I think the whole 'White Ash' thing is a load of nonsense. Yes, it is nice to smoke your bowl down the that fine white ash with only a single light, but, does that white ash make much of a difference? The definition of that perfect tobacco should be the one that suits you most, the...
