    For The Guitar Lovers

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/Z224KPzyCghJFmwZ9 Working on those Eric Johnson licks. Haven't played in years and trying to get inspired again. Gotta get my speed and accuracy back up to par.

    Your "No Fuss/Go To" Tobacco?

    Your go to blend that smokes great no matter how you smoke it, what pipe you smoke it in, how wet or dry it is, how fresh or old. Not necessarily your favorite blend but just performs everytime. For me it's been C&D Haunted Bookshop. What's your "old reliable " tobacco?

    A Terrifying Thought

    I drove by a giant goodwill store we have locally and was thinking about donations and estate sales and the frightening thought hit me. How many pipe/cigar/tobacco collections have been thrown straight into the garbage by non smokers when they are left to sort through someone's things 😳? I'm...

    Your Favorite Third Of The Smoke?

    1. The ritual light up and the first taste of that delicious tobacco ( and hopefully the chance to finally sit down and relax) ? 2. The 2/3 when your in the groove and everything is going smooth. Your set to cruise control and enjoying the ride? 3. The final stretch when your blissfully...

    Pleasant Surprise @ Local Tobacco Store

    Now this might not seem like much to you guys but here in the pipe tobacco wasteland of Florida where pipe shops are rare and pipe tobacco even rarer (85% sales tax) this was a great find for my area. Local tobacco store that mostly sells vape, cigarettes, and cheap cigars had St. BRUNO stocked...

    What Would Grampa Joe Smoke?

    In the movie Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory it's stated that grampa Joe smokes a pipe. He turns down the opportunity to buy tobacco when Charlie offers him money. Just for fun what do you think Grandpa Joe smoked?

    Goodbye Little Buddie

    My work pipe is no more. I carelessly put it on the bench seat of my golf cart and it fell off. I'm blind as a bat so the black case blended right into the parking lot. After realizing it's not in my truck I back up to the shop and hear the crunch and instantly knew. You served me well little...

    Stereotypical Pipe Smell?

    I fell in love with the smell of pipe tobacco from my grandfather's truck which was marinated in the sweet smell of what I can only guess was some kind of English aromatic ( Sutliffs Bulma Road). I never even knew he smoked a pipe until after his passing. When people talk about they love the...

    Mauro Armellini Pipe Appreciation

    Nabbed this little beauty up for $37 shipped. Knew nothing about it except how much I liked the looks of it. Fell in love with this little guy. Very nice quality and great smoker. Love the look, feel, and weight,. If anyone else has one of these please share I'd love to see more.

    From Unsmokable To Enjoyable

    About 6 months ago I picked up 4 oz of newminster 403 Superior slices and it was bad. Tongue bite within the first 5 minutes of smoking and no flavor. Tried different pipes and different methods but no luck. Like many have talked about in the forms before jar it up and let it sit and that's...

    2021 - Carolina Red Flake Vs Cringle Flake

    Excuse my ignorance but is there really that big of a different to stock up on both? Ones more sweet or more spicy? I have some Carolina Red Flake I cellaring right now. Have heard good things so far about it. Cringle Flake has very mixed reviews. I know they tweak the blends each time they come...

    Bird shaped Nording pipe

    Recently acquired this funny like guy. It's a Nording ________ . Anyone that can help me fill in the blank would be very helpful. I'm working on cleaning it up. Is very dirty. Maybe the sight glasses in the pipe are a chamber to collect moisture? Not sure it would smoke that great but for...

    "From Beyond" tobacco tasting

    Ok I believe I've had enough smokes of this to try and give my 1/2 cent take on it. Moisture content was pretty much spot on right out of the tin. Didn't really notice any difference between just packing right out of the tin or giving it 10 minutes of drying time when smoking it. The tin note...

    Christmas is Coming Early this Year

    Title edited to capitalize important words. Rule Nine So yesterday I took down the scrap we had laying around the shop to cash in and did pretty well. Thought I might treat myself to a little something special. My normal purchases are around 40 to 60 bucks every 2 months or so kind of slowly...

    Its a miracle

    For the first time in two weeks since being over covid I can actually enjoy what I'm smoking! No more burnt plastic and tooth paste taste in my mouth when I light up and smoke! Tonight I lit up some C&D from beyond ( still trying to pick out all the flavors in this one ) in my lovely stanwell...

    Taste and Perspective

    A new pizza company invites 6 people off the street to taste their pizza and get the word out on their product. Tester #1 This medley of cheeses is amazing! I love the cheese to sauce ratio. Tester #2 I love the thick robust sweet and slightly spicy tomato sauce! Most other pizzas have too...

    Enjoying my new Chacom

    I picked this beauty up off eBay for around $40. Looks like it was smoked maybe twice. I can't believe how underrated Chacom pipes are. My taste buds are still messed up from having covid a few weeks ago but I just had to start breaking this one in. I've got probably 60-70% of my smell and taste...

    If I Knew then What I Know Now

    As a kid I always loved the smell of my grandfather's all original 1978 Chevy C10 Bonanza pickup that he bought brand new and babied. I had no idea he was a pipe smoker. I never saw him smoke and he never talked about it but the interior of his truck was marinated with a beautiful tobacco smell...
