    Smoke-Proofing a Room, Tobacco Suggestions, and My Return

    Hello all. Some of you may remember me as I was active on the forum in late 2012-early 2013. I haven't had a lot of time for pipe smoking or forums as of late, as at the beginning of April I moved across the Atlantic from Germany to the USA to go back to school. Since I am living in a small...

    Kansas City B&M?

    Oh how the time flies, it's already close enough to moving time that I need to start thinking about where to buy my tobacco. I've done some searching online but the ones I've found are mostly for cigars. I'll like that too but I need my pipe. In Germany I have been a bit spoiled, all the B&Ms...

    Customs: Tobacco Into the US

    Hello all. I am moving to the US at the beginning of next month. I don't have a huge stash by any means, but does anyone know how much tobacco one is allowed to bring over the US border?

    Whoa! That Wasn't Expected...

    So my day is winding down and as usual I decided to smoke a bowl or two. I smoked one bowl, emptied it in my glass ashtray, killed a few minutes and then started packing my second bowl. My ashtray was getting a bit full but it looked like it could still hold a few helpings more so I didn't think...

    My Last Newbie Question (I Hope)

    So I've been smoking for almost a year now and I think I have a good hold on how I personally best enjoy my pipes (with room for improvement of course). There is just one thing that I am unsure about, so I thought I would ask you all. For me, the last ~30% of the bowl never tastes nearly as good...

    How Many Pipe Cleaners...

    Does it take you to get the job done? I'm talking routine, not thorough cleaning. Takes me 1 and a half, most of the time. Edit: Corrected the capitalization in title, L.

    Taste - new v. old

    A question for my fellow pipe smokers. I got my 3rd quality pipe for christmas, and I think I'm in love. Based on advice from some friends who introduced me to the hobby, as well as some of you, I decided to dedicate my pipes to either aromatics, english/latakia blends or virginias. My first...

First, the pipe is a Vauen Wood 342 (I'll post a link tomorrow - I'm in a hurry at the moment). I noticed that the pipe was likely out of a different...

    Peter Heinrich's (Köln)

    My second stop on my tour of my surrounding tobacconists led me to the somewhat more well known (at least here in Germany) Peter Heinrich in Köln. This place was pretty big. It was actually 2 buildings on the same city block with one other building in between them (I guess he couldn't get ahold...

    Tabak Zander

    I live in Germany and I found this little place while visiting a friend a few hours north of where I live. It is located in Wuppertal, Germany. I know not a lot of you will be able to visit this place but I just felt like sharing the story, because it's what got me started on pipe smoking. What...

    Pipe dedication

    I've been thinking about whether or not I should post this in the pipes general discussion or beginner questions section, but here it goes! How do you all dedicate your pipes to certain tobaccos/groups of tobaccos? As some of you know now I am a new pipe smoker so I don't have much experience...

    My first pipe

    This is my primary pipe as of right now. I started smoking regularly this year. Vauen Laiton 1042 I use it to smoke aromatics and I have another cheap no name that I bought to smoke some virginias until I get the opportunity to get yet another decent pipe (won't be long now :-) ). What do you...

    Dent removal

    Does anyone have any techniques for removing dents and dings from briar pipes? I was smoking and got distracted. I went to stuff the thing in my pocket and it slipped, and landed on the concrete :( man do I feel dumb. Luckily I put it in the cotton pouch first so the ding is not all that bad...

    House blends...

    I am a pretty new pipe smoker, I started doing it regularly this year, 2012. Since then I have tried about 10 types of pipe tobacco. My first few blends were house blends of a tobaccanist and since then I have always been a little disappointed in the brand name tobaccos. Maybe I've tried the...

    First, I am happy for finding this site! I would like a tip from some of you more seasoned pipe smokers. I live in Europe and here we travel a lot by train. So I find myself sitting and waiting for trains or walking to different stations wishing I could be enjoying my pipe to make the time more...
