    Capt Black Red

    Ok - I havent posted in a long time but had to ask. Does anyone know where to get Capt Black Red? My dad was in Nova Scotia this past summer and he couldnt get his main smoke, so he bought the Capt Black Red. He loved it but we cant seem to locate it in the states. Keep in mind this was not a...

    Lost Manly Arts

    A topic of a recent conversation turned to different things that seemed to die over the years - specifically the manly arts. Maybe this was discussed before but what do you think is a lost art today. I still shave with a straight razor but I know of few who do. Axemanship is another. I...

    Tobacco Sampler

    Years ago Middleton had a tobacco sampler available at Christmas time. I had great looking tins in it too. Does anyone know if this is still available? Edit: Corrected capitalization in title per Rule #9. L. Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine

    Looking for tobacco

    Does anyone know where I can buy Middletons Kentucky Club by the ounce? I know it is an oldie but I would like to buy a little and if I like it I will buy a tin.

    Favorite TIme of Day to Smoke

    I always really enjoyed a pipe at the end of the day, even in the dark, outside on my porch or at dusk. Lately because of schedule changes, I am up early and usually start the day as the sun comes up with a good bowlful as I do the needed chores before work. Nothing like some burley when your...

    Do You Drink Anything When You Smoke

    To me there is nothing like a good cup of java to drink while smoking my pipe. Anyone do the same? What do you drink, if anything? Edit: Corrected capitalization in title per Rule #9. L. Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine

    Tarry Taste

    I've been smoking pipes for a long time. I would like the opinion of others on something. I have seemed to aquire and dislike the tarry taste I am getting in my pipes. Yes they are aged somewhat and I do a regular cleaning but still get the nasty taste when I smoke. I have tried the salt...

    Captain Black Alternative

    Although as posted before Im more into burleys and va's, I do get a hankering for an aromatic on occasion. Years ago I smoked CBW for most of the time. I tried it lately again and I did not like it. For some reason it bites me bad, as does 1Q. Does anyone know of another tobacco close to CBW...

    Age old question- so it seems

    I have always been under the impression despite what I know what people on this forum say, regarding pipe filters. A lot I learned from my Dad,(who used them) and his father before him. I use them as often as I can, fearing the tar and nicotine buildup in the stem and bad taste. However lately...

    Smoking Virginias

    Am I way off base but I noticed, as most of you know already, different pipes smoke tobaccos differently. I love Virginias but I must smoke them in a smaller bowl pipe, which in turn burns them hotter. Then they dont bite. Anyone notice anything similar to this?

    Cobb pipe issue

    I bought a lot of cobb pipes on ebay. Yea I know they were cheap but I thought what the heck. They are plain corn cob bowl. I mean the cobb itself, ie not coated with anything. I smoked the first one and thought that this is burning good, too good. Soon i realized it was literally burning a...

    What I get out of it

    One of the things I noticed is when I smoke my pipe my back pain is less. I've been fighting lower back issues for a long time. When I light up I can honestly say it helps my back. Maybe I'm not thinking about it, or it relaxes me. My dad said its because I breath slower. Personally I don't...

    Tobacco from the past

    I am a third generation pipe smoker. My dad smoked a pipe as did my grandfather. I had asked Dad a few days ago what Gramps used to smoke. As I recall it was Granger and a few others no longer made. So curiousity got the best of me and I located a pouch of Granger and bought it. It is a very...

    Need opinion/suggestion

    I never wanted to use a tobacconist because in the past because I would start to liking a particular brand and the local guy would move, go out of busines or whatever, or be so inconsistant that I would never get exactly the same mix twice. On the other hand the OTC drug store brands were...
