    How Often and Where Do You Smoke

    Where I currently live I can not smoke indoors. This rule is from the war department so nothing can be said or done about it. So, I end up smoking in only two places and about once a week. I wish it was more, but you know, life. Outdoors on the patio. This isn't too bad, but it's dictated by...

    Prominent Women Pipe Smokers

    Prominent Women Pipe Smokers, are we ever going to hear an interview from one? Pipe Babes don't count. I would love to tell my wife that PWPS (Prominent Women Pipe Smoker) was on the radio show. My wife feels, and I suspect a lot of women think this too, is that pipe smoking is mans hobby. And...

    What's the Deal with Latakia

    Could some one please tell me the deal with Latakia. It seems to get a lot of attention, but I don't get it. I have tried smoking it before, in Nightcap and that was the only instance I really enjoyed it. I'm mostly a Va/VaPer/VaBur kind of guy with a small smattering of Aeros (Autumn Evening...

    I finally got some scratch together and placed an order for a pipe I've been eyeing for awhile. A Stanwell Hans Christian Anderson. Here is the link from SmokingPipes.com. I ordered it today and got free ground UPS shipping. I will post pics of it when it arrives. I'm very excited about it...

    New Job and a New Pipe

    Well, life has been real interesting for me here lately. The last place I worked for ran out of bussiness and was moving towards closing the doors. I saw it coming and I started looking for new work. Well, I got a new job, working for the County. I should inform you, it's not the County I live...

    Mac Baren Old Dark Fired--My review

    This is a flake style tobacco. The flakes have got a rich earthy very tobacco smell to them. The flake are a very dark brown, almost like the color of very dark soil or wet coffee grinds. The way I smoke flakes is to rub them out. I do not do the fold and stuff method like some smokers of flake...

    2nd Beard Attempt

    I'm letting my beard grow in for the second time. Currently I look like I've been on a 5 day bender but it's starting to fill out. My question is, what is a good beard/mustache trimmer? The last time I had grown my beard my mustache got thicker than I cared for. When my wife cuts my hair, she...

    Of Pipes and Cats and Cats and Pipes

    Here, below, is an e-mail I'm sending to my wife (she is currently in bed asleep). It concerns her want of cats and my want/need of pipes. I do believe that the terms I've offered her are fair. I will continue with more explanation after the e-mail. Now, for a brief background. We have recently...

    Any one smoke Blackpool

    I'm seriously considering making an order of 8oz of Blackpool by Esoterica Tobacciana. Does any one have any experience with it? Is is a good smoke? Is it even worth considering? Please let me know your experiences.

    Liquorice or Anise blends

    I'm hoping that there is a Liquorice or Anise flavored tobacco out there. I'm hoping that if there is one, it's only mildly flavored, as I don't necessarily want a full on aro (unless that is all there is). So, if you got a suggestion, please share it.

    Another Haddo's Thread

    About a week ago, I made a 60$ TAD order. I spoke about it in this thread. In the order, I purchased a 2oz tin of Haddo's Delight. In this other thread. Here rlunderhill said: And he was right. The first bowl of it had absolutely no flavor. Unlike rlunderhill, I kept smoking it. The first bowl...

    Got Approval from the War Room

    The wife has granted me a 60$-ish budget for a TAD order. I thought I knew what I wanted, and had a favorites list and every thing. Now that I'm actually ready to pony up money, I'm drawing blanks. I'm looking at review sites, looking at P@C, adding to favorites, removing item from order list...

    My New Corn Cob

    Got a new corn cob today. Nice, simple, nothing fancy. My boss actually picked it up for me, he is a piper too. In the photo, I've not yet smoked it. But this evening I loaded it up with McClelland 5100 Redcake. It tasted like the first time I smoked Redcake. Now I think that's because it's a...

    Post an Image of Your Desktop

    Just like the title says. I always find it interesting to see what other people keep on their desktops and what their wallpaper is. Also, you can use it as an excuse to clean up all your icons.

    Last bowl of Frog Morton

    I packed my last bowl of Frog Morton this evening. Been working on the 50gram tin for a couple of months, almost three. It's not a bad smoke at all. It's got the Latakia thing going on, but it's very mild. The VAs in it are sweet, but not too sweet and work well with the Latakia. But for me, I...

    Question About My Meerschaum

    Ok, I've got a question about my meerschaum. I do smoke it hard and will smoke any thing in it, English, Aro, Va, Balkin, ect simple because it won't ghost. Also, I smoke the hell out of it. It's coloring good, as you can see in the picture below. You can see it's getting dark, cause part of it...

    What's the Deal With Rustication?

    I was looking at pipes over and P&C. They got some kind of special with GBD pipes. I was looking at them and noticed this pipe. It's got that rustication thing going on. It looks pretty good on this pipe, and I've seen it done and look good on others. But on the other hand, I've seen it done...

    Thank the Lord of the Pipe and Our Goddess Nicotine

    After months of searching, my wife has gotten a job. This means several things. One, it makes her happy. Two, this will help dramatically with our finances. Three, since she will be happy and I'll have a little more money per month (some of you know where this is going already)....I'll be able...

    Head Cold & Cough

    Like the topic title says, I'm sick. The wife says I'm not to smoke till I'm better. Here is my hang up and no, it's not my wife insisting I not smoke, she is smarter than me when it comes to health, so I trust her. It's the fact that I started smoking the pipe to put down nails. Which the pipe...
