    Who's Taking Over?

    All the smokers I know won't smoke a pipe because they love the convenience of a cigarette and how fast it gets the nicotine into your bloodstream when it goes into your lungs directly and of course everyone else thinks pipe and cigar tobacco will kill you, so my stuff isn't going to anyone when...

    Candy Like Sweet Aromatics Recommendations Please

    One word, Boswell... They have super amazing aromatics if your looking for very sweet. The Raspberry cream suggestion is really good, I'd also suggest their chocolate tobaccos, and my favorite is the berry cobbler, very good.

    Mold again!? But really is this mold?

    I'd just pick off the moldy bits and smoke it, not really a big deal, but very annoying. If it was an easy to get tobacco I'd throw it out but that is Esoterica... I fully went to this post thinking, "oh great another person who thinks the white crystals sugar are mold;" but that clearly is...

    Plastic Bags

    Humidity is high were I live, I normally jar to keep it out, not in... Ball mason jars are so cheap and available at any Wallmart in many sizes in bulk, I just buy more every time I run out. The plastic bags do seem to work for a long time, but I think a month is pushing it. I say it depends...

    My First Briar!!!

    My first cob smoked a lot better than my first briar, I ended up giving it away for free to a friend that wanted to try pipe smoking, count yourself lucky :) I really do like it's shape, if it has good airflow, it should be pretty enjoyable.

    Spilled Water in My Brand New Cob!

    Seriously, just let it dry out, it will be fine. I nearly died laughing from the guy relating it to a cellphone.

    Maryland/DE Pipe People

    Anyone near the MD/DE boarder wanna get together some times? Age is not a factor either, I gotta take another picture I'm actually ten years older now (32).

    10 Seconds in the Micro--Yea or Nay?

    I live in an environment that averages around 60% humidity. I have never needed the microwave method. Even at this humidity stuff dries out when it's at a low point pretty quickly. I suggest you make yourself friendly with weather updates and dry out when the humidity is low like I do. You...

    Heat Shrink Tube for Protecting Stems?

    I have struggled with this issue for many years as I have very sharp teeth; if you really care about the stem, get another one made and ruin that one personally, people are so good at making stems that I believe you should just enjoy the pipe you have and if you so desire a nice new stem, get...

    Playing Hookie From Work and Caught These

    I don't believe these would make good tobacco pipes, but catfish currently please me where I live :)

    New Member Introduction - 2017

    Greetings I am back from a few years, my tobaccos are aged and I am missing pipe smoking dearly, my biggest question is where the heck are the pen and pencil postings, my searches here are turning up nothing but I'm still getting the email postings.

    Zippo Lighter

    The only lighter for pipes I have ever used was my favorite a zippo pipe lighter meadow green. It does not feel right using anything else and I smoke exclusively nearly only Virginias which are pretty finicky in nature due to their subtle flavor.

    One Wish

    Penzance, it feels like a discontinued blend most of the time!

    Loose Stems on MM Cobs

    I'd just contact P&C and say "hey, you sent me pipes that can't hold their bits in." They will replace them with ones that have tight stems, free shipping and everything.

    Tried a Falcon!

    So I just got my new 1950's Falcon and I really love it, the thin aluminum definitely seems to have a cooling factor and the pipe itself definitely looks really neat. I put off getting one for years in fear that the metal would cause a lot of tar to condense inside causing a really nasty smoke...

    Thanks Les, I will be there.

    Complete beginner to smoking. A little overwhelmed.

    Do not go with the type of tobacco to determine the amount of Nicotine, the strongest blend I know of is a Virginia blend. Welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay. If you don't drink, that may change soon too pretty soon as it really goes with pipe smoking very well. The best advice I can really...
