Your First Pipe
Well, embarrassed to say... my first was this ebony wood Whitluck Tobacco Pipe I found on Amazon for $23, including the pipe, a Czech tool, a stand, and some pipe cleaners. The only thing I still use is the stand and the Czech tool. Pretty pipe, but heavy and not very fun to smoke.- Cyxelsid

Smoking in the Wild...
This morning I am in beautiful Joshua Tree, California; just outside of Palm Springs. My wife and I came out to the solitude of the desert to let her heal up from surgery (She is doing great!) and get away from the stress of the Open House our realtor is conducting this weekend! With any luck...- Cyxelsid

An Ode To Pipepiphany...
Fantastic prose! I love the writing style, and only wish I was in the mind space to attempt to match it. I have my mind buried in too many scientific reports these days to think/write creatively or communicate the joy I get from a nice bowl. But I think I need to recommit to that.- Cyxelsid

How/What Beverages do You Pair with Your Pipe?
I find that a good coffee is a great pairing in the early morning or when it is cold out... but I can also go for a good bourbon and ginger beer. On a hot afternoon, a frosty Arnold Palmer is a nice pairing too.- Cyxelsid

My Pipe Smoking Buddy is Gone
So sorry for your loss. We lost one of our fur-kids to Cushing's last summer, and another to age related complications the summer before. It is horrible to see and watch. I hope you are able to find a new smoking buddy soon!- Cyxelsid

My Experience So Far
Well, it sounds like you are like me... starting a new hobby and buying anything and everything I could get my hands on to try! I did the same thing as I got more into coffee, bourbon, cooking/smoking, drones, wood working, etc.! I bought way more tobacco than I currently have time to experiment...- Cyxelsid

My Experience So Far
I have really enjoyed my journey so far... and I have received a lot of help here on the forum. I am still trying to get through all of the blends I bought early on... and they seem to get better every time I go back to them. I can't wait to complete my move and get a proper storage space for...- Cyxelsid

Isn't This Ironic... Too Stressed to Smoke! Happy Holidays!
The world needs more random connections! I wish we spent more time connecting with random people we had commonality with, and less time time fighting anyone and everyone we have differences with. Gone are the days when you could sit across from someone, have a smoke and a drink, and discuss our...- Cyxelsid

How Often Do You Smoke a Pipe?
I would have to say occasionally, myself. I share the OPs constraints on time and location. Although I own my home, I don't smoke in the house, nor do I smoke in the car. Lose too much in value! Do you know, it is now California State Law that you have to disclose if you have smoked in the house...- Cyxelsid

Smoking in the Wild...
This is a recent stop I made at San Onofre State Beach in Southern California. The two concrete domes in the background (which either look like two breasts and nipples on a cold day, or a space port from StarWars, depending on how much of your geek is showing) is the San Onfore Nuclear Power...- Cyxelsid

Isn't This Ironic... Too Stressed to Smoke! Happy Holidays!
Hard to believe the last time I posted was before the calendar turned to a new year. The first quarter of 2024 was pretty crazy... we finally got my wife's health issues under control (her final procedure is scheduled for next Friday and things are looking positive that this will solve the...- Cyxelsid

Box Pass Extravaganza 2024 Signup
Well, darn... I got busy and missed the sign up period! Probably for the best, as my wife and I will be moving in the next couple of months, and I am not sure where we will be receiving mail for a bit, while we house hunt. Looking forward to the 2025 Box Pass!- Cyxelsid

Isn't This Ironic... Too Stressed to Smoke! Happy Holidays!
Well, I have been away for a few months! I guess this may be a good definition for an "occasional smoker"... when I get overly stressed, I don't even THINK about stopping and having a smoke! That seems like backwards thinking. The last time I posted was several months ago. That is really one of...- Cyxelsid

What do You Enjoy While You Smoke?
Wow, I am very surprised at the number of responses this post got. It has been a godsend, as I have spent the past two days in the hospital with my wofe. She has some kind of infection. They are getting it under control, but it has been a lot of long hours just sitting and waiting. Of course, I...- Cyxelsid
