What Was your First Pipe?
Mine was a store pipe from "Tobak," which was a chain trying to compete with Tinder Box where I lived in the early '80s. My first "good" pipe was a Stanwell, which I still Smoke.- Rob NC

Bulk Versus Tins Versus Pouches
Once I find something I really like I tend to buy the big tins (200g) if they are available. On a side note I had the experience of falling in love with a C&D blend called Epiphany, which I was buying in 200g tins. I decided to buy a couple lbs. of bulk to cellar, and was disappointed. I...- Rob NC

I've been away a while - help me catch up!
C&D has upped its game quite a bit and isn't the laughing stock it was 6 or so years ago. I've been a C&D customer since they were in Pennsylvania, and you called Craig Tarler on the phone to place your order, and I also enjoy the GLP blends made there. I wasn't ever aware of them being a...- Rob NC

I liked University Flake too. I didn't even know it was gone. I've been out of the loop myself.- Rob NC

Brigham Pipes
I'm no help to you, but I'm a little disappointed to hear this. I've always liked the look and design of some of their pipes, and have toyed with the idea of getting one (even though I don't ordinarily do filter pipes). I hope you get some more useful responses!- Rob NC

Pipe Liquid. Useful or Gimmick?
I always heard it was a bad idea to introduce water into the shank, because it could swell the briar and make the tenon not fit properly, while alcohol evaporates before it can do any damage. Made sense to me, but am I wrong?- Rob NC

New from NC
I taught acting and voice for the stage. Leather patches....yes, I do have a jacket with patches! :-) Smoking in class, no, although I could smoke in my office the first couple years I was there. I'm old enough to remember smoking in class in undergrad school in the '70s.- Rob NC

New from NC
Here’s just about everything there is to know about me. I started pipe smoking in 1983. I have about 60 pipes. It’s not a collection though, just an accumulation. I have some nice pipes (James Upshall, Charatan, Castello, Ascorti) and some beaters (EA Carey!), but Peterson and Stanwell are the...- Rob NC
