    J.M. Boswell Hefty Rhodesian

    I have several Boswell pipes and they are the ones I use most frequently. They smoke cool, break in right away, look great and have a great feel. Amazing quality for the dollar. Buy it.

    Good Tobacco to Help Me Stop Cigs

    I used to smoke cigarettes and there is really no pipe tobacco that will satisfy you with the level of nicotine that you are used to getting from cigarettes. In my case, pipe tobacco would simply just peak my nicotine level up enough to a point where I needed to smoke a cigarette after a pipe to...

    Christmas Cheer 2011 (re-visited)

    I believe I read that CC 2012 came out this week or last week. That jogged my memory that I still have about half a tin of CC 2011 in my cellar. I packed some into my Peterson Rocky Donegal and fired it up this evening...man...it got really good from the last time I smoked it. I broke the...

    Any weather = good pipe weather.

    Virginia

    MacBarren's VA #1 is really good...agree with the others...it is lightly cased with honey...at least that is my read on it. Dunhill Flake is good, but more costly.

    Double Edged Razors?

    Feather are the best I have tried as they are the sharpest. I would try something else first until you get the hang of it because they give you little room for error. Everyone's skin and hair is different so you really have to experiment a bit. I also use Proraso shave soap and Thayers witch...

    Another "Male" Pipe. What are they thinking?

    What the what?!

    Thanks. I finally ordered some. Looking foward to it arriving already.

    Drying...it works.

    "too dry" is when it is very, very crunchy and crumbles into dust. It is going to burn hot as hell. It is really impossible to dry out cavendish blends too much, in my opinion. I have left some Boswell blends out overnight and they are still too wet for me to keep lit in some cases. I give CB...

    Drying...it works.

    I have been smoking a pipe for over 10 years now and just re-learned a good lesson I plan on practicing more often. Drying. I usually let tobacco sit out for a few minutes and then let it sit once packed for a few more, but I left two coins of PS LBF sit out (not on purpose) for over 24 ours and...

    Royal Yacht

    It's strong in the N department; and has the british fruit flavor to it. It's good.

    Hershey Pa

    There are no good pipes tobacco shops in the Hershey/ Harrisburg area (stores only cater to cigar smokers). I live there. Boswells is way more than 25 miles away. It would take a good hour or more to get there from Hershey.

    Dunhill Flake

    It is in my regular rotation. Great smoke.

    The beginning of the end?

    Reading between the lines of this it appears to me to be more of an attempt to capture RYO tobacco and small cigars into a more taxable category than to ban current products and destroy an entire marketplace. I could be wrong though.

    ***What are You Smoking?*** (July 2012)

    PS LBF in a MM Diplomat Cob (with new 'forever' lucite stem...nice!)

    Sudden attack of PAD...

    I would pull the filter out of the cob or I would change the filter after each smoke. They can serve a purpose, but they can ruin a smoke because they get all wet and smelly.

    Boswell's Blends

    I smoke BB pretty regularly. It is like 1Q, but has more bolder, defined flavor and burns much drier and cooler.

    Boswell's Blends

    Boswell's Best is really good. It's like 1Q on steroids.

    My whole downstairs...

    HAHA! Great responses. Thanks!

    My whole downstairs...

    ...smells like glorious Bullseye Luxury Flake. My wife is pissed. Maybe the roomnote isn't so great? ;)
