    Where Do You Usually Smoke?

    Outdoors. Wife gets migraines and I don't want to expose her or the cat to 2nd hand smoke. Below is a view from my typical spot in a gazebo. There are a few parks that haven't banned smoking yet as well.

    Please Post Your Christmas Pipe Presents

    Got a MM Little Devil Cutty and a new Zippo. Breaking it in with some Autmn Evening.

    Light Latakia Blends?

    Light Latakia Blends?

    All the above are good suggestions. But, ignore them and get some good ole Haunted Bookshop. You'll be saying,"I can't believe its not latakia" or my name isn't Joe Isuzu.

    Zippo Butane Pipe Inserts

    I also got the Thunderbird pipe insert and it has worked well. Refilling it can sometimes result in cold fingers if I don't properly align the nozzel. Live and learn. Only other thing I'd change is that there is only the one opening on the Thunderbird vs the Zippo original. Here's a review...

    Show Us your Zippo Lighter

    I got this for Christmas with the pipe insert. But, since I'm currently not an allday, everyday smoker I bought a Thunderbird butane insert. It works well. I just wish it had the cutout on both sides like the original zippo insert does.

    Zippo For Infrequent Smoker

    I got a zippo for pipes, but being a more casual smoker I replaced the insert for a butane one. Here's a link for what I got that works well. Thunderbird Butane Insert

    More New Forums Members Than Ever? Why Is That?

    I was told there'd be free coffee and donuts. But I'll stay for the wisdom and humor.

    Playskool Pipes

    I'm having flashbacks of that John Ritter movie with the glow-in-the-dark condoms chase scene. 😂

    Picked up a Canadian/Lumberjack(?)

    LOL, dating is a lot more complicated nowadays. Are they really Canadian if they were born in London, England? Does England even have lumberjack/jills?

    Picked up a Canadian/Lumberjack(?)

    Thinking I'll make this my designated English blend pipe. Anyone recognize the markings?

    Doing some re-reads of Fellowship Of The Ring, God Emperor of Dune, & Necroscope II: Vamphyri.

    Return of the Esoterica?

    *Heavy sigh* What a let down after viewing online images of the place. They only had 4 pipe tobaccos for sale. Not bad ones mind you, Lane and Stokkebye, but no tins whatsoever. They did say when Esoterica ships that they always get some and that they only sell inhouse when they have it...

    Decaying Leaves Makes Autumn Best

    Seems like this has been a great year for fall colors. Couldn't get this big guy completely in frame. There a lot of old trees in Oakwood Cemetery here in Raleigh. I would love to see upstate NY in the Fall some day.

    Sheesh, did a Predator rip a pipe smoker's spine out to make these? Wicked cool!

    A Peterson Dracula and Jekyll n Hyde are both on my Pipes To Get list, along with a hundred or so others. 😆

    Decaying Leaves Makes Autumn Best

    Ha! I hated having to pick up the pine cones in the yard before mowing as a kid. I love walking through Umstead State Park where there is a plethora of trees, we have over 600 species in NC, and that wonderful musky-sweet smell of "fermenting" vegetation. Autumn is by far the best season of...

    A couple more from eldritchpipes.com. Things Lovecraftian in nature will always catch my interest.

    Eldritch Pipes has some really cool and freaky pipes. This one reminds me of Hellraiser. "We have such sites to show you!"

    Return of the Esoterica?

    @OverMountain @FurCoat , I'm going to check out Tobacconists Of Cary (pipeandleaf.com), whose website shows Esoterica, tomorrow since I've never been before. Will let you know if I see any. Never had any Esoterica myself having only been about a year into pipe smoking.
