    My Pipe Smoking Buddy is Gone

    It is a rough day in our household because my pipe smoking buddy has passed away. He was my four footed, hairy Lab mix who always laid at my feet while I smoked my pipe. He was with me constantly, but he lost his battle with Cushings disease. He enjoyed life up until the last week when things...

    The Decline of Prince Albert and Carter Hall

    When John Middleton Co. decided to move operations to the Dominican Republic they did a massive injustice to their tobacco blends; Prince Albert and Carter Hall. For many years I have enjoyed my Dark Roast coffee with a pipe of Prince Albert. They just went together so well with the smokey...

    Iwan Ries to Discontinue Some Blends

    I would like to thank ELW Green for mentioning that Iwan Ries was going to discontinue their Ko Ko Blend. I hate it when a tobacco company discontinues a blend and doesn't give you the opportunity to stock up on a possible favorite. I had a bowl of KoKo this morning and hadn't planned to get...

    Same Tobacco with Different Name?

    Topic for discussion: I was wondering the other day if tobacco manufacturers produce the same tobacco under different names. Unless my burnt out taste buds are incorrect, Lane Limited LL-7, Captain Black Copper and Casey Jones Beyond Brave are very similar if not the same tobacco. This might...

    Burning Tobacco

    I am probably over obvious but I believe a lot of new pipe smokers don't understand the concept of smoking a pipe. Due to this fact many eventually stop trying to smoke comfortably. I believe that many beginners believe that you pack the pipe and then throw the fire to it and burn the tobacco to...

    Predicament Ordering Tobacco

    We live in an age when we have literally thousands of tobacco blends to choose from, many are quite similar. A while ago I decided to lessen my supply of tobaccos to just the top 10 usual blends with an occasional sampler to keep up with other chooses. I figured this would not be a major problem...

    Pay Attention to Your Pipe

    After reading the excellent commentary by cosmicfolklore on smoking slow, I thought I would give my opinion on the subject of pipe smoking. It is only my opinion and everyone has their way of doing things, but this is what works for me. I try not to over complicate things and it's the same...

    My Tobacco Journey with my Taste Buds

    Title edited for capitals. Please read Rule 9. This thread is for the newbies. Never throw away a tobacco because you don't think you like it, because in a few years you might think it is great. In my younger years I couldn't stand blends with Latakia. I ran into a few Latakia blends and...

    Favorite aromatic flavor

    Just for discussion sake: what is your favorite aromatic tobacco flavor. My guess would be that most people would choose vanilla, but many like cherry, chocolate, cocoa, anise, licorice, peach, raspberry etc. etc. etc. What's yours?

    Bond Street Adventure

    Several years ago I managed to buy a tub of unopened Phillip Morris Bond Street. I had not tried it when it was available so I opened it and gave it a try. I felt like a bad boy who had his mouth washed out with soap. It had a deep soapy, floral essence that overpowered everything. I did not...

    Preconceived Opinions on Tobacco

    When I think back through the years of the blends that I almost didn't try because I just knew I wouldn't like them, I am glad that I didn't listen to myself. I just knew that i would hate John Bull and Revelation, but I like to find things out for myself and not trust other people's opinions...

    A Thanksgiving thank you!

    As many of you know this has been a horrible year for myself and my family. No one can imagine how it was to knock on the gates of death and then crawl back to where I am now. Even though I still have a ways to go to get to my "new Normal", I still have a hole in my stomach where the feed tube...

    Start of November

    I just finished enjoying a cup of Dark Roast coffee with my MOLINA 81011 pipe full of Heine's Blend tobacco. Heine's Blend is an overlooked tobacco that is excellent, especially with the morning coffee. It rained on the Trick or Treaters last night, but the sun is up and looks like a beautiful...

    Confused about Pipe Smoke

    Title edited for capitalization. Rule 9! I swear the older I get the more confused I seem to be. I go to buy some candles from a on-line shop and I see a candle that smells like pipe tobacco. I go to another site and they have a candle that eliminates pipe tobacco smell. So does pipe tobacco...

    Notice for out of production blends

    It seems to me that it would be a benefit to the tobacco companies and to the customers if there would be a notification of when a blend was going out of production. Usually the customer finds out that they no longer can get a blend when they go to purchase some more and find out that they will...

    Who made this pipe?

    I have been trying to get some info on this pipe for some time. I bought it on EBay several years ago for next to nothing, cleaned it up and it has become one of my favorite pipes. The only markings on it is on the silver. Nothing is stamped on the pipe. Any info you can give is greatly...

    The Sound of a Zippo

    Sitting in my sun room this morning watching it rain with my loyal dog, Quincy at my feet and my kitty on the couch, I enjoy my coffee with a good pipe. I reach for my zippo and when I have it lit, I snap it shut. It occurs to me that the sound of a zippo closing is as distinctive as it gets...

    How is Milan Tobaccos?

    I am thinking of making an order for a bunch of Milan Tobaccos and wondered if any forum members have enjoyed their selections. They seem to have a wide variety and have gotten good reviews on Tobaccoreviews. Their prices are a little higher so I was wondering if they are worth it. I have eyed...

    Heartfelt thanks to Forum Members

    It has been almost 3 months since I almost met my maker due to the effects of auto-immune disease that fought against the muscles and nerves in my body due to Long Covid. I still have a long way to go before I get to my "new normal" but things are so much better. I'm back to enjoying many simple...

    Progress Deserves a Pipe

    As many of my friends on the forum know I almost died from an autoimmune disease caused by Long Covid. Improvements have been made and I am getting stronger. I may even get my food tube removed by the middle of July. I am getting stronger, but there is so much more to be done. With my progress...
