    A Safe way to Start

    It seems to me that you're conflicted between wanting to do something without doing it. The problem is that if you pretend to smoke a pipe, then I'd argue that you're doing more harm to your image than good. Before I began pipe smoking, I had never smoked anything before and consciously did so...

    Tobacco Might Help Cancer Patients Post-Chemo

    I work at a radio station and while one of the news anchors was reading their newscast and I heard the word "tobacco" get used which caught my ear and when I rolled back the audio and listened, Turns out tobacco might be useful as an ingredient to develop a drug that will help cancer patients...

    Who's Really Behind That Blend...?

    I was listening to The Pirate History Podcast by a guy named Matt Albers. He mentions in an episode that while crossing Darien (a province in modern day Panama and the reason a continuous Pan-American highway is nigh-impossible to build), one of the pirates got a gnarly gunpowder burn to his leg...

    Clay for a Day…

    I picked up one of the Old Dominion Williamsburg clays as my third ever pipe and it's been serving me well though I find tamping the canted bowl can be troublesome at times. Love using it for Piratefest and medieval fairs.

    Good beginner tobacco?

    I started with a pouch of Captain Black Royal and fell in love with pipe smoking immediately. I also found that smoking it can be a pleasant or painful experience based off of how frequent and deep I pulled on my pipe. When my tongue started tingling I knew it was time to back off a bit because...

    Know Anyone Who's Quit Pipe Smoking?

    Cycling and pipe smoking are surprisingly similar. The formula to determine how many bikes you have is "n+1" where n represents the number of bikes you currently have. I've found that formula perfectly plugs into my pipe collection.

    Is there a general consensus on what blend a new piper should start on?

    I've had a similar question floating around in my head as well. My approach has mostly been finding a blend from each of the major leaf types (latakia, VA, burley, etc) and then giving them a go. Sometimes you get a blend that leaves your mouth feeling like you just smoked a bowl of BBQ sauce...
