B&M in K.C. Missouri
A business trip at the end of October will put me in Kansas City, MO for a few days. Does anyone know of a good B&M store worth stopping by if I'm able? Thanks!- RookieGuy

Best B&M Tobacco Stores in America
Boswell in Chambersburg, PA I've heard nothing but good things about. This fall I plan on riding out there, wonderful country for motorcycles. John B. Hayes in Winchester, VA. is absolutely worth a stop if you find yourself in the area. The only place I've seen a selection of G&H in the wild...- RookieGuy

It's Beautiful! 5lb Brick of Sutliff 507C
I recently picked up my first pound. I looked at it for a few minutes thinking "Man, Rookie! What in God's name have you done?" I suddenly felt better after reading this thread. Except I can see a brick of Virginia Slices in my future.- RookieGuy

All Day Blends
Recently we were going through my grandmother's estate, the whole family came down. There was an 8x10 picture of my grandfather at work, all the guys lined up at the office after some important project was complete. In most of the desks in view was an ashtray. Those desks had small cigarette...- RookieGuy

Do You Smoke Outside Your Home/Yard?
The only times I've ever smoked a pipe inside anywhere has been at the local B&M which offers a lounge. And then I've been the guy with a pipe while everyone else around me is enjoying a cigar. There's been no issues, except a bit of oddity as pipe and cigar tobacco mingle in the air and our...- RookieGuy

Smokin and Walkin
I've heard all kinds of people talking about liking this or that pipe for mowing the lawn and this or that tobacco for walking the dog and so on. Having tried it a few times, I've come to this conclusion. Those who enjoy a pipe while mowing the lawn are on riding mowers, not behind a reel mower...- RookieGuy

Selecting Your First Pipe
Cobs are always a good fun inexpensive smoke. Yes, there's a kind of sweet corn taste while they're breaking in, but I've had a couple briars with a funky break in taste too. MM was a more pleasant and much quicker process. For me, it's not about the money as much. I can afford name brand...- RookieGuy

Pipe Smoking for Compassion
In my family, it was the smell of coffee in the room. I can see the room note of tobacco being good though.- RookieGuy

Slimming Down -- Culling the Collection
I'm almost ready to start culling. My plans are to donate any of the better ones to newer pipe smokers. The rest will be offered to Vulcan. -
What's Your Preferred EDC Knife?
I rotate between a Buck 55 (half the size of a 110, but same knife otherwise), an old no name advertising knife, and an Old Timer Stockman. Perfect for any day to day knife tasks like opening Amazon boxes, cutting fishing line, or slicing an apple. And it has the benefit of not raising eyebrows...- RookieGuy

Probably my MM Mark Twain. But really, they're all good pipes and have earned their place in my rotation. -
Philip Morris Calls For Ban on Cigarettes Within Decade
Honestly, they could ban cigarettes in the US right now, today, and it wouldn't hurt them too bad. Not while Asian markets exists! So, reading the writing on the wall, they retool over here and make cigavapes with the same crap in them, charging an arm and a leg along the way. And continue to...- RookieGuy

Biggest Nic Hit?
A good second bowl usually does the trick for feeling the nicotine. Five Bros didn't do it? I bet that Haunted Bookshop will. But now the more I smoke, the less I want that nic high. Make no mistake, the nicotine in my bloodstream is what's keeping most of the demons at bay. But the high means...- RookieGuy

Cobs for Tasting
I've been to a small mom and pop type pipe shop. For the price of a small nose warmer MM cob (or bigger, obviously) , they'll let you sample a few blends. Think of it as a pipe version of the little tasting spoon from an ice cream shop. A quick little 7 minute sample is cheap at the price if... -
Anyone Dislike Billiards?
I have a few billiards, bent and straight. They smoke good, but it's not a shape that really does anything for me. I really like the variants in the family (pots and brandys and I have a panel on the way), and I'm more drawn to the bent anything than the straight. But in the end, a straight... -
Tobacco for New Smokers
My recommendations, in no particular order, would be a pouch of OTC (or OTC Match) like Carter Hall or SWR or Prince Albert or something like that. Sutliff's Match Field and Stream is my hands down favorite in that genre, with Carter Hall a very close second. Peterson Irish Flake or St. Bruno...- RookieGuy
