    So, you thought you would correct an established and reputable site and they undid you correction (I get that you were doing this in an attempt to help out), then you went and reapplied your changes and they once again reverted back to the format they have be using so you then decided to make...

    Esoterica Tobacciana - Dorchester Thoughts

    I never got the chance to meet him. The staff there is always helpful, especially if you want to talk to the older guy about meerschaum pipes. He definitely has a passion for meerschaum.

    Esoterica Tobacciana - Dorchester Thoughts

    I do like the way that Rich's blender tries to pretend that all of their house blends are custom when I know for sure that Bill's Blend is Lane 1-Q :).

    Esoterica Tobacciana - Dorchester Thoughts

    Why yes it was Rich's. I always try to stop in there when I am in the Portland area. I also usually hit up 82nd Cigar.

    Esoterica Tobacciana - Dorchester Thoughts

    A couple of weeks ago I stopped in a brick and mortar to look at a new meerschaum pipe, which I ended up purchasing, and while there, I noticed that they both carried and had in stock a few Esoterica blends. Since this is a brand I have never had a chance to taste, I decided to bite the bullet...

    Second pipe

    Savinelli make some fine pipes. I am partial to billiards and rustication, so for MY sensibilities you should get a straight billiard rusticated Savinelli. Of course, I will not be the one smoking it so my input is of only minor validity.

    Just Won a Stanwell: Any Good?

    That is a nice looking pipe. It should give you many happy years of service.

    Telling my Parents I Started Smoking

    I am not sure what the cultural expectation in Iceland is for when someone is considered an adult. Until you are considered an adult you should listen and follow your parents wishes. Once you are an independent adult you will just have to inform your parents of you choice, listen to their...

    Finding my way...

    There is chemistry involved with how nicotine is absorbed into our blood streams; hence, why cigarette manufactures are purported to use some of the additive that they do. It may be possible that this blend with less nicotine may have be a perfect fit with your particular biological chemistry...

    A Safe way to Start

    While I agree that the OP has come to the pipe world in a novel way, I guess I will stick to our motto. Smoke what you like and like what you smoke. In this case I guess it would be etherial smoke.

    March Meerschaum Madness - Let the Madness Begin!

    Okay, it took me almost until the end of March, but yesterday I purchased a new meerschaum pipe. It is a nice CAO quarter bent carved apple. I will try to get a picture posted. The first few smokes have been a bit frustrating due to the fact that I need to get use to a pipe with a bit of a...

    My First (and Second) Pipes

    I would avoid smoking a lot of blends with latakia in the same pipe as virginia due to the issue with ghosting. Of course, it will not hurt the pipe if you do; however, you may not get as pure of a taste experience if you do mix and match blend families. Of course, please understand that I am...

    Knowing When to Quit a Bowl

    I also use to try to smoke it all to ash. Now days, however, I typically dump it out if, like DidiMauw, I have to relight more than once. I am getting enough experience that, I more often that not, can tell it is time to dump by the way the pipe lights on a relight.

    Ever Wind With A Pipe In?

    I have had a sudden sneeze with the pipe still in my mouth. Ruined the smoke and the shirt I was wearing.
