    Health Concerns.

    I went the other way with it... I spent 20+ years as a powerlifter and strongman competitor and now at 50 I am feeling every moment of it (without regret). But it gave me the clarity to understand that despite what people say, life is NOT short; Its really, really long and the most you can...

    Hello from Los Angeles

    Welcome aboard, from the Great Lakes State... and like already suggested, sip the pipe and you can avoid tongue bite. I'm not a fan of cold weather, but now you have me thinking about having a smoke in front of a fire (obviously with a glass of Scotch).

    Aroma Cigar Lounge - Commerce Twp., MI (Pipe Tobacco In Stock!!)

Aroma Cigar Lounge: 1733 Haggerty Rd, Commerce Charter Twp, MI 48390 They had in stock: Your usual selection of...

    Are Tastes Ever-Changin?

    For me it's more expanding tastes than changing tastes... I don't find that I suddenly DON'T like something I used to like, but instead I think that my palette expands/matures/call-it-what-you-will and something I didn't care for in the past I find that I am enjoying now.

    Do You Keep The Box?

    I have a background in design, and I think that because of that I am an absolute fool for packaging, inserts and what-have-you... I keep almost all of that stuff!!

    Hi, I'm Craig, and New Here.

    Hello from Michigan! The best advice I can give is to be ready to try different tobaccos, and don't give up if the first one(s) you try aren't to your liking. I was almost turned off from smoking a pipe because the first couple of tobaccos I tried I didn't like. Everyone's palate is unique, so...

    B&M's in Novi, Michigan Area

    Thanks for all the replies! It looks like I'll have to check out Paul's... the selection on the website is incredible, so it looks like I'm making a road trip! (Aroma Cigar lounge is about 10 minutes from where I work, so I'll be taking a lunch-time trip to see if they have anything on hand)

    A Michigan Hello!

    New member from South East Michigan here... I've been smoking for a few months now, after picking it up a year or so back and not liking it at all, which really got down to the fact that I had picked poor tobaccos that soured me on the experience. After educating myself on pipe tobacco and...

    B&M's in Novi, Michigan Area

    HI everyone... I just stumbled across this forum and was wondering if anyone knew of any good brick and mortar stores for pipe tobacco? It seems as if most of the head-shop-type of tobacco stores have stopped carrying pipe tobacco and the cigar stores dont have much beyond the party store...
