    Tobacco Suggestions for a soon to be EX Cig Smoker

    Rolling your own cigs is a good idea - you'll be aware of how fewer you smoke. That being said, I smoke a rollie first thing every morning to tame the craving so I can enjoy the more flavorful pipe tobaccos. After over 20 years of smoking cigs, I am down to 1 to 3 cigs per day and enjoying the...

    Pipe tobacco cigarettes - cool idea or just goofy?

    ... There's a stigma about women smoking a pipe ...? Wow, I must be even more out of touch than my son thinks!

    Burly's

    Angler's Dream, Classic Burley Kake, Scotty's Butternut Burley, and Beverwyck (all from P&C) are some I enjoy regularly. If you like deer-tongue (herb) then add in H&H Old Tartan and C&D Gentleman Caller. In the classics corner, can't forget Granger or Half&Half (Lane version).

    Canned Tobacco Questions

    rothnh - it's overtrained, not overthought here. I understand Josh's impulse as I also learned FOOD canning first. We were trained to do something to the jars to make those lids "pop" down within the first 24 hours ... or something failed. It just feels wrong to screw on the lid and set it on...

    Canned Tobacco Questions

    No boiling - you don't want to cook the tobacco. I just put warm water in the sink and set the filled jars in that to warm the air in the jar.

    Forever Stems?

    :rofl: And that is exactly how it always starts! "Well, if I'm going to be paying shipping, might as well get ______ too."

    Stupid warning labels are stupid

    My favorite was on a (hair) curling iron: "Warning! For EXTERNAL use only!" :roll: I don't even want to know what provoked that label ....

    Tracking A Package

    Mine left Memphis, TN at zero-dark-stupid this morning and is listed as on schedule. :) That's only 4 hours if one stays within the speed limit! ETA: It's in my town now! As of 20 minutes ago!

    Tracking A Package

    Me too! Or at least, the last time I checked ... which is about every half hour. :lol:

    Cobs vs Briars

    No - it's called personal preference.

    McCranie's

    Their St Alban's Blend sounds intriguing. Anyone have recent experience with it?

    Tobacco Suggestions

    Ghosting is when the smell/flavor soak into the pipe and can be detected even when you change tobacco. Thirty-two of the 34 estate pipes I bought in one lot had a stinky and persistent ghost, even the two cobs. The good news is that aromatics will kick out a previous ghost to set up residence...

    Pipes vs Cigars

    Room note difference is HUGE. Thankfully, hubby prefers to smoke his cigars either outside or at work. ETA: This is coming from a cigarette smoker, at that.

    Special Permit

    Tobacco ...? No sir, those are jars of potpourri.

    Buying a Calabash from Meerschaum store

    In that case, I heartily recommend Hershey's Special Dark if you have not tried it yet. When we visited the Hershey factory in Pennsylvania, I got to buy a couple big 1-lb bars. Chocolate is another subject very near-and-dear to my heart. Speaking of picking out a pipe, my son's car repairs...

    Member Sent Me Some Imagine

    Here's a better pic, Yavuz. P&C listed them as "European Value Pipes" and they are stamped M.T. Natural ... and they have been coloring just like meerschaums do! The chocolate egg is the one I have had the longest, with the speckled egg being the newest. Here those two are side-by-side. (We...

    Buying a Calabash from Meerschaum store

    I must have been born without the shoe-love gene ... my criteria are "does it fit? Is it comfortable? Will it last so I don't have to bother with shopping/hunting again for a while?" Pipes require much more attention and research. Don't get me started on pipe tobacco ... Yavuz, you find some...
