    The Dedicated Pipe Dilemma

    I have 4 different groups of dedicated pipes. One group is only for latakia based blends. The second is for my occasional dabble into aromatics, and the the third is for Virginias/burleys. The last group is made up of some cheaper, smaller cobs and I smoke anything out of those.

    If You Could Have Only One...

    If I could still buy it I would get Mcclleland 5100 and a this one Savinelli prince I've got. Since I cannot acquire more 5100 I don't think its really an acceptable answer, so instead I would probably go with some Gaslight.

    How Slow can You Go?

    I have to be very aware of my cadence when I first start smoking a bowl. If I can consciously go slow after, a bit it just becomes my natural rhythm. It's hard to go slow when the flavor are good though.

    Finding What you Really Like

    Quite a few cheap ones. I kept trying drug store blends and wasn't really impressed. I decided I would order some more popular blends from online. If I didn't like any of those I was probably just going to give up. I ordered a few different random tins that had good reviews. One of them was...

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    My gift arrived earlier today and I couldn't resist the temptation to see what Santa brought me. He didn't disappoint. Thank you Santa! Have yet to try 2 out of 3 of these. I am sure I will enjoy them in my new cob.

    Your Cellar Size

    I don't have an extensive cellar. maybe 20 tins and 40-ish glass jars between 4 and 8 ounces, but not every jar is completely filled. I also have a varying supply of cigars. Sometimes I have a 60 sticks in the humidor, and sometimes I've only got 2 or 3. I wish cigars were cheaper lol. Actually...

    Cellar Fail

    I suppose that is why a lot of folks like to vacuum seal unopened tins when they're going into the cellar.

    Cornell & Diehl Haunted Bookshop

    I bought a single tin of this and smoked one bowl right away and I didn't care for it. Its been in a jar aging up for a while now. Maybe ill give it another shot after it gets some more age on it.

    An Aromatic I Enjoy!!

    I too on occasion enjoy a bowl of MM 150th anniversary. I also like Stanwell Vanilla which I found somewhat similar. Aromatics definitely aren't my go to, but they do provide a nice change of pace when I need it.

    First Pipe, Briar Or Cob?

    I bought a cob, but VERY shortly after purchased a briar in the $80 range. I then bought a whole lot more of each. As a beginner on a budget I would probably recommend buying a cob. Cheaper, so if you burn it out learning to smoke properly you are only out about $10. I totally understand the...
