    Accidentally Inhaled Erinmore Flake...

    On the true light, and and felt good for about 3 seconds, and then boy, was I dizzy. As a former cigarette smoker I thought my nicotine tolerance was relatively high, but pipe tobacco is it's own beast. Inhale this baccy at your own risk :oops:

    Cleaning a Meerschaum

    How do you do it after each smoke? I heard wiping the inside of the bowl with a paper towel is a good way to do it, helps the cake to not build up excessively.

    How Would You Respond To This?

    I'm gonna try and make this story short. Just an FYI, maybe I'm over-reacting, maybe I'm not. I just want more opinions. I have a select group of friends that I've kept for a number of years, all around my age (18-20), I'm 20. Not to be boastful, but I consider myself to be the most mature of...

    Dry, Dry, Dry!

    Gonna be short and sweet folks, my biggest piece of advice I can give to new smokers is to dry your tobacco out before you smoke it! My preference is just a tad crispy, but not brittle. Makes the pipe smoke cooler, taste sweeter, and stay lit longer. And I find the easiest and fastest way to...

    Back Pain

    I've suffered from back pain for pretty much my whole life. I was born with minor Scoliosis and as a result walk a little but crooked, causing strain on my knees and lower to mid back. When I was a teenager I played football for a number of years, as an offensive guard and defensive tackle. For...

    Well, The Wisdom Teeth Are Out

    Appointment was at 9:00 this morning, only took about twenty minutes for the whole thing from start to finish. I've never been put to sleep before, so for me it was the strangest sensation, one second I was talking to the surgeon, and the next I was out cold, but the next second I was waking up...

    Getting My Wisdom Teeth Pulled...

    Well, a recent trip to the dentist came with an unwanted piece of advice from the ol' doc himself...that I get not one, not two, not three, but all four of my wisdom teeth pulled (not so damn wise if you ask me). I've been suffering a lot of pain in one particular tooth, and I now have a gum...

    Safety Razor Questions

    Hey all, so I finally got tired of using my shitty Gillete razor, not to mention spending $26 on a four pack of razors about every two weeks!!! So, I did what many of you respectable gentleman have done on this forum and bought myself a Safety Razor, a Parker to be exact. I just have a few...

    There's Something To Be Said About Waking Up Earlier...

    I've been trying more and more to wake up an hour earlier than my normal routine would normally allow, and use this time to just relax in front of the computer and smoke my pipe, and have a cup of coffee. I'm finding that my days don't seem too long anymore, that it doesn't feel like I'm just...

    Switching a Pipe From English to Virginia Based Blends

    So I just started to really get into virginia based blends, but unfortunately I only have one pipe dedicated to those blends at this time (until I get my next paycheck anyways :puffy: ) So today I had my first smoke of Hal O' The Wynd in a pipe that I've been using primarily for english...

    Forget Desert Island Pipe...What's Your Apocalypse Pipe!

    I've seen a few threads in the past that discussed what pipe and tobacco you'd have with you if you were to be stranded on a desert island. Well here's a new question. What pipe (only allowed one) and tobacco (assuming it was in endless supply, you could just wish it into existence), would you...

    For The Canadians Out There, How Do You Take Your Tim Horton's?

    A large double-double for me. I've probably had around three dozen coffees since the roll up the rim promotion started up again, and I've only won a free coffee three times :( But alas, I consider Timmies to be the closest thing to a "nectar of the gods", so I'll probably have another three...

    Something About A Long And Hard Days Work...

    That makes the pipe and a nice glass of scotch taste that much sweeter. Work hard, and relax hard :puffy: Happy puffin, pipenscotch

    The Briar's Good, But...

    Don't get me wrong, I love my briar pipes, but once in a while nothing beats loading up my trusty MM 'Neked pipe with good ol' 1Q. Simpler is better in this instance :puffy: Happy puffin, pipenscotch

    Have You Ever Been Laughed At For Smoking A Pipe?

    Hello fellow pipe smokers, long time no see (or talk more like it). So the other day I was with a group of "friends" (you'll see why I used the quotation mark in a second), and we were having a couple alcoholic beverages, just catching up. Some of these guys were people I used to hang out with...

    My Absence and Those Damned Cigarettes

    So I know that 99.9% of you on this forum won't recognize my name at all seeing as how I only had a few posts before a sudden absence lasting months. To be brief, I picked up pipe smoking after about a year away from the hobby, due to circumstances out of my control, work, life, school ETC. I...

    How Much Tobacco Can You Bring Into the US From Canada on a Plane?

    How much are you allowed to bring in? Should I stick the tobacco in my suitcase or in my carry on, (im travelling on a plane)? Also, could I stick some bulk tobacco in a baggy, or would I be better off brining some tins?

    Smoking in Bedroom With Carpet? - Given an Ultimatum!

    So I'm still living with my parents, and they've given me an ultimatum considering my smoking. As of late I've been delegated to smoking either in my car - a shitty chevy which totally takes away the pleasure of smoking a pipe for me - or outside, where it's biting cold. I've been talking to...

    I'm In A Jam...

    So I've just started University, and I'm taking more of a general studies route at the moment. But I've been having conflicting thoughts lately about if I'm going the right way or not. One of my original ideas about school was to get a trade, specifically Instrumentation Technician. To be...
