Traveling By Air
Hi guys, I am going to be travelling by air to Colorado on Sunday, and was wondering how I should pack my pipes and tobacco? I want the least amount of trouble from the TSA agents. I know there is a pilot on this forum but I don't know his name. If he could comment it would be most helpful...- flippinbird87

Antibiotics Changing Taste?
Late last week I went to the local "doc-in-the-box" for nasal congestion, and was diagnosed with a sinus infection. I was given some antibiotics and a nasal spray. Soon after popping my second pill I noticed my pipe tobacco was tasting flat and off. I was wondering if anyone else has had the...- flippinbird87

Surprise Tobacco Inheritance
Today my family went to see my Grandfather who doesn't have much more time in this realm. My Grandfather and I started talking about pipes when he paused, and took me into his room and got out his pipe tobacco (which he hasn't touched in a looooong time) and pipes. He told me he wanted me to...- flippinbird87

First Go Around With 4Noggins
Since my usual internet retailer has most of their stock on back order, I had to find another to get tobacco from (I was almost out of tobacco). After reading through the forums I kept seeing 4Noggins getting raved about. I decided to place an order from them, and after searching through their...- flippinbird87

Dead Tastebuds
Last week when I started to smoke my pipe again, I scorched my tongue. I haven't been able to taste anything substantial since. I was wondering if I should put the pipe up and wait for it to heal, (how long does this usually take?) or will it heal even though I still smoke the pipe? I am...- flippinbird87

Different Packing for Different Tobaccos
I was reading the Tobacco Packing Methods article and videos, and a question popped in my head. Does the type of packing matter to the type of tobacco you are smoking? For instance, would you use the airpocket method for a Va/Per? And would you use another method for burleys? I thought this...- flippinbird87

Back to the Pipe
Hey everyone! I haven't been on this site for a while because I gave up on pipes last July in favor for the deadly nails (I know it's BLASPHEMY!) and nasal snuff. I don't know why I gave up the pipe since I now enjoy it immensely. Anyways, I am looking for a tobacco that produces a thick...- flippinbird87

Wrong item in order
I recently received my first order from pipesandcigars.com, and received a wrong tin. I ordered villiger 1888 mid-day and got villiger early-day. I contacted pipesandcigars through email last night and still haven't heard back yet. How long does it usually take for them to answer emails...- flippinbird87

Rusty with my pipes after returning.
I have just recently came back to pipes after two years and I must say I am very RUSTY! For some reason I cannot smoke a pipe without scorching my hands with my bowl and can barely taste my tobacco. I am probably going to have to re-learn everything. Has anyone who had returned to pipe...- flippinbird87
