Anyone Play Video Games?
How is Elden Ring treating you? It's my favorite game of all time. I need to try Mortal Shell. It's on my Want list. On a different note, do you guys smoke pipes while you game? How well does that work?- jdlander

Top 3 Favorite Aromatics
For my own entertainment, and to help me figure out which aromatic to buy next, I created an alphabetical list of the recommendations so far.... The number in parenthesis after each tobacco is how many mentions it has received so far. The winner is Sir Walter Raleigh with 7 mentions. It also...- jdlander

Cough?
I'm experiencing the same problem. SOO much phlegm and coughing every morning. I will probably stop smoking for a while to let it clear up, and then try some of the suggestions on this thread, especially the one about producing less smoke. Do you retrohale? I might stop retrohaling for a...- jdlander

Too Much Tobacco. What Should I Smoke First?
I'm relatively new to pipe smoking. Maybe 4 months into it. Initially, I loved it so much, I went a little hog wild and bought a wide variety of tins to try. I wanted to experience it all. I bought English blends, Burleys, VaPers, Aromatics, Codgers, and almost anything that sounded good. I...- jdlander

Questions - Staying Lit; Packing: Relighting; Ashy Taste
This bit of advice has always bothered me. Yet it's very common to read it on the internet. Even most of the popular YouTubers use it. Whenever I see it, I always want to ask the person, "Have you actually compared the two draws at the same time?" As a new pipe smoker myself, I went out and...- jdlander

Newbie Questions.
I have also been learning this. All of my best smokes were with pretty crispy tobacco this past week. However ... none of those were with aromatics. I have heard that if you dry out aromatics, they lose their ... flavor. I haven't tried to dry out aromatics yet to experiment with this. Have you?- jdlander

Newbie Questions.
I'm pretty new to pipe smoking as well (about 4 months now), and everything you wrote here is EXACTLY what I have been learning, and, like you, I have finally had a week where I've had three AMAZING bowls. I think maybe I'm still too heavy with my light. Do you lightly sip/draw on the pipe...- jdlander

Looking for a Pipes and Philosophy Group
You know what I want? I want to belong to a group where we get together, smoke our pipes, and discuss philosophy. Anyone know if anything like that exists anywhere? I live near Salem, Oregon. Anybody nearby? I was trying to Google for something like this, and found the following quote from a...- jdlander

An Alternative Technique to Avoid Tongue Bite
How was the experience? Also ... what "size" of activated charcoal did you get? Is it the small cylindrical pellets (looks like rabbit food or smoker pellets) or were they more like charcoal chips? Also, did you go with carbon, hardwood, coconut shell charcoal? Does it matter?- jdlander

An Alternative Technique to Avoid Tongue Bite
Any further update on this? I LOVE coffee and the idea of using beans inside my pipe is very appealing to me, especially if it imparts any coffee smell/flavor to my smoke.- jdlander
