To Clay or not to Clay....
I love smoking my briars and meers, but I have read often that a simple clay pipe gives the purest taste of the tobacco with no ghosting or interference. So..... I bought a couple of simple clay pipes and by George, it does deliver a very pure smoke with no influencing that I can detect...- Choatecav

Virginia is for Lovers......
Ok, I love the many different tastes that can be enjoyed with all types of blends, but at the end of the day.... I love a pure Virginia most of all. Really like the various English blends, the Balkans, the Burleys and of course the VaPers. Things with a hint of Latakia and Turkish blends and...- Choatecav

Balkan vs English
I recently bought an eight ounce tin of Palmetto Balkan by C & D. On reading the ingredients I saw various orientals, Red Virginias and Latakia. My question to the wizened group is what is the difference between a Balkan blend and an English? "I gots to know....."- Choatecav

What is a "Stinger" for?
I know there are "no dumb questions" but this may push the envelope.... Why do some pipes have "stingers" in them? What exactly is their purpose?- Choatecav

Muletown Pipe show - Columbia, TN.
All I can say is "wow." First big pipe show that I have ever attended and it was an experience. It was packed with attendees and hundreds upon hundreds of the most beautiful pipes I have ever seen. I was like a kid in a candy store.... Bought five pipes. A new one and some great estates...- Choatecav

Need Some Advice, Please!
I have somewhat got my urge to buy more pipes under control (although my wife would like a few minutes for rebuttal...). However, I have gone just "ass over teakettles" in the buying of tins of tobaccos. Seems every time I read a good review or watch a video on a new blend and hear the...- Choatecav

This May be Heresy........
I may be unleashing the Hounds of Hell and/or a house may fall on me for saying this, but I do not like the "P-lip" mouthpiece on the Peterson pipes. I like the pipes, the system, etc., but I hate the way the p-lip feels. Am I alone on this iceberg??- Choatecav

Gotta Tell You about My Latest.....
Title edited for caps. See Rule 9. I just had my "maiden voyage" smoke from my newest estate pipe and it was just a grand experience. I bought this from one of the members of this forum and it is a Comoy's Sunrise 284 Rhodesian. I went back and forth on whether to buy it or not, but the shape...- Choatecav

Ruins of Windsor by The Country Squire
I'm a newbie to the site and I have just come back to the pipe having been smoking cigars for many years. I mention this because picking up a bag of the Ruins of Windsor from the Country Squire is what brought me back. It has a subtle taste and is very smooth on the mouth. As they describe it...- Choatecav

Prodigal Son Returns...
I smoked pipes several years ago but put them away for quite a few years. Have been smoking cigars all along. However, about six months ago I picked up one of my pipes, ordered some good blends from the Country Squire in Jackson MS and I'm back. I live in Middle Tennessee and hoping to go to...- Choatecav
