    I'm Back And Smoking Aromatics Apparently

    Hello all, been some time since I regularly participated on the forums. Life just gets in the way sometimes. New relationship, new responsibilities but all moving in the right direction so I'm happy. Well, I've been smoking a lot of cigars of late, discovered some new favourites so I stocked...

    Belated Bday Presents To Myself

    So I turned the big 40 at the end of July, no big deal really, but as I was renovating my house I received a lot of "decorative" gifts for my milestone presents. Greatly appreciated as they were, I am a guy and I love my toys. So I decided I need to get myself a gift (or several as it seems)...

    UK Pipe Tobacco Sampler

    Last week someone posted some videos on YouTube of old pipe tobacco commercials. While I had seen them before they are some of my favourites and it got me thinking. I would like to try the "patron saint of pipe smokers" and I'd like to experience my very own "condor moment". So I ordered a...

    Broken Pipe - RIP Herbert "Bud" Overbury

    Sadly my grandfather passed away last night after a year long battle with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. My grandfather was the reason I picked up the pipe to begin with, memories of his house in Montreal as a child with the smell of his favourite tobacco Edgeworth wafting through the house as he...

    A Near Perfect Day

    So I've recently started a new chapter in my personal life and for the first time in a long time I'm excited for what the future may bring. I made a trip out to the West End of Toronto yesterday for the day and on the way home across the top of this great city I brought out my Lorenzetti bent...

    Cheeseburger Tastea

    Since cracking open my first tin of Dunhill 965 a few weeks ago I've been almost exclusively smoking that blend. Today is my taxi driving day with the kids so when I asked my son what he wanted for dinner, he said McDonald's (he just turned 5,whaddya gonna do). Well I had a burger and fries and...

    Working From Home & A Magic Combination

    I've finally been able to convince the owner of my company to let me work from home one day a week to do the creative marketing work that is all but impossible to do at the office with all the interruptions. This is the second week I've been at it and I have to say I love it, less miles, gives...

    Anyone Ever Order Cigars From SmokingPipes?

    I've found myself dipping back into my humidor this last month along with some stronger pipe tobacco blends and I'm really enjoying my cigars again. Anyone order cigars from SmokingPipes before? How well are they packed? I love the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story but they are $14 at my...

    New Pipes & Now A New Order In From 4Noggins

    I haven't posted much lately so I haven't shared my latest purchases and experiences. On IPSD I purchased a Stanwell designed by Nanna Iversson, shape N4 and last weekend I visited Walper Tobacco in Kitchener, Ontario (it is Canada's oldest continuously operating tobacconist) and picked up this...

    My Dunhill MM 965 Moment

    So I've been avoiding this blend thinking it was a strong Latakia blend or just too strong for my taste buds. Wow, wow, wow was I wrong! Quite possibly the best tobacco I have tried to date. Complex, fragrant, luxurious, perfect. I don't know how else to describe it as I only had one bowl...

    Pairing Wine & Tobacco

    Does anyone here have experience Pairing Wine with their favourite pipe tobacco? I've tried and tried to like hard liquor store and I just can't enjoy it, beer and a pipe does not appeal to me me at all. I enjoy sweeter fair with my drinks so I'm thinking of perhaps more of a dessert wine? I...

    My New Trypis Pipes & Lakeshore Smokestacks Mtg (Pic Heavy)

    Smokeybear and I had arranged a trade some time back but only just got together at the last Smokestacks meeting on Thursday. I unexpectedly also traded another Kaywoodie for another Trypis. These are my first high grades from Trypis, both being Grade 5 pipes and they have a much more open draw...

    Trip To Buffalo And An Unexpected Pad Attack

    So I'm in sunny Buffalo NY for my daughter's cheerleading competition and I planned on stopping by Smokers Haven to pick up some blends I bought last year and loved. I met the owner Brian Kanitz, who is also a pipe carver. I hadn't intended on buying this pipe but it was hot off the...

    My First Bowl Of Dunhill Flake

    I see what all the hype is about, the citrus notes really come through, mild yet flavourful. Good to go right out of the tin, rubbed it out and packed the flake. I'm enjoying so much I told work I was stuck in traffic so I can get close to finishing the bowl!

    A Nice Pick Me Up On The First Day Back To The Office

    Well, I had to be dragged kicking and screaming back to the office today after taking the last 2 weeks off. Hundreds of emails, paperwork stacked high, my boss is antsy over sales projections for the coming year. All in all I would have rather stayed in bed. And then this arrived and made my...

    I'm Preferred.....At Least According To The Forum

    I knew it was sometime around now that I joined the forums. I've reached the mythical Preferred status much discussed around here. It's been a hell of a ride from my first pipe, a Brigham 2 Dot (good choice for a first pipe) and my first baccy, Borkum Riff (one outta 2 ain't bad). I've learned...

    Ginger Is Fitting In Just Fine

    I'm fighting off a nasty flu bug so unfortunately I have nothing pipe related to post about. The worst part oof being this sick is that my new Peterson Green Spigot is sitting at the local B&m and I haven't been able to get out of the house to get it. So instead I'm keeping my spirits up...

    Winter Wonderland Plus Christmas Cheer

    Overnight we had a pretty good snowfall, the scenery is just beautiful. After taking the pooch on her first walk I've retired to the deck with a pipe full of McClelland Christmas Cheer and a nice hazelnut coffee. Enjoying the down time with the kids and dog. Here are some shots of my...
