    Penzance, First Impresion

    I just cut open a 8oz bag I got in February. I rubbed out some of the most broken flake and let it dry a couple of hours. This thing is FANTASTIC! Question 1: Does this thing blossom? There is some white stuff on it. Question 2: How do you guys like to pack it? It seems like the flakes break...

    Worst Deal on a Meer?

    I posted before on Giving up my terrible experience getting a Meer on ebay made by Strambach. Well here is the end of the story. The ebay retailer contacted me and asked me to send the pipe back to him, I did. David, Thank you for your update on your item purchase. I apologize for not...

    Giving up

    As I posted before I got a Strambach Meer a week ago or so. I had terrible luck getting the worst pipe ever made by man or beast with a sour taste and smell to burnt glue that will turn off pipe smoking anyone. I email the ebay seller I got it from xerocracy or radica pipes. So far I did not...

    New Meer

    I got my new Strambach meer and I finally got to smoke it. Mixed feelings so far. Everthing started good, I loaded it with some cube cut DF and the start of the smoke was cool, flavorful and very nice. At some point I got some gurgles, nothing that a pipe cleaner could not fix but at the end...

    Tapping on the Bowl Like Bilbo Baggins

    I was re-watching yesterday The Hobbit while smoking my Jirsa filled with FVF when I notice that during one of the first smoking sequences B. Baggins taps on the top of his pipe with two fingers of the same hand he is using to hold the pipe while drawing. I tried myself, seems to help "relight"...

    Blowing in the Bowl

    Lately I have found myself doing the following while smoking. I blow very softly into the bowl of my pipe until a little bit of smoke comes out of the bite, the catch this breathing it through the nose. I find the aroma quite different and very enjoyable. Do you guys practice this? If not...

    Plugs, Ropes, Twists and More

    Summer is coming, or so I m hopping for, and I am setting myself for trying some of what I will call "some of this crazy shaped tobaccos". I will like to know your recommendations and experiences. What should I go for first? :puffy:

    Sad PAD/TAD

    My last order from pipesandcigars arrived. I got 8oz of penzance and a tin of FVF, I have never tried neither of those yet so, I m very excited about it. It is going to have to wait thought cause I realized I have something like 15 "open" tobaccos as of now and it is getting a little bit out of...

    Butera's Royal Cake

    I got this tobacco at the beginning of last summer. First impressions where not very good, but slowly I got to really like it. There is this ketchupy smell/flavor that I am enjoying very much lately. Where is this coming from? Is it how the virginias are matured? What else is out there similar...

    Taking a Rest

    I know among you guys are some real puffers but I was wondering how does resting work for you guys. I smoke, something like 1 pipe a day, some rare days 2 and usually not every day. After a few days, I either dont have the time for a relaxing smoke (too bad I cant smoke at work!) or feel that my...

    Did EMP change or did I change?

    Yesterday I bought a tin of Dunhill EMP. I had not smoked this blend since 5 years or so (I stopped smoking for a few years). When I first tried it, it was something great I felt smoking this tobacco. At the time, I was only smoking cherry and vanilla aromatics, McBaren's Cube and stuff of the...

    Second Chance for University Flake

    I was in Spain this last Christmas. Among other things I discover that US is way better place in terms of local tobacconists. I visit several stores on several cities and surprisingly I didnt have any PAD attack. The little tobacco I carried in my pouch was running out so I need to buy some...
