    BOSS Coffee—A Pipe in the Logo. Anybody Here Try It?

    I've most definitely had it, but only in Japan. Marketed for years by Tommy Lee Jones

    Preferred Lighter

    I use fire. I find fire works the best.

    Lovat : Love it

    I share the interest, sir. Colonel Fraser was the Lord Lovat, so not too much of an evolution on this one, but the general evolution of terms over the years is always interesting. Shall we have a refreshing discussion on the bulldog vs the Rhodesian?

    Do You Introduce Yourself to Other Pipe Smokers?

    On the street? Definitely not. Seems forward to me. I've had a couple of oddballs come bounding up to me unbidden and been more than a little surprised by the enthusiasm and had to politely fend them off. I like ice cream cones, too. But I'm not going to ask a stranger what flavor he's...

    Lovat : Love it

    The lovat is the quintessential gentleman's pipe shape. Long -stemmed make for elegant, understated clenchers suitable for town or country. Short-stemmed make for perfect outdoors pipes for the hunting, shooting, fishing, or military man. Lovat or leave it, if you ask me!

    Need Help Identifying this Pipe, Please

    Perhaps an old Yello-Bole, or at least its stem. Perhaps being the key word.

    Don't know. The claim is the tobacco is sitting in Georgia while they figure out what to do with it. Who knows if that's true. General is also in the process of automating its warehouses (its made cigar orders super entertaining and relaxing and not at all a giant mess) which could be part...

    We've had it backordered since February. Its pretty obvious the subsidiaries don't communicate very well at all. I've started to bring in other things to replace it under the theory that, well, feck 'em. It shouldn't be easier to get Gawith tobaccos than STG. Totally unimpressed with their...

    Does a Wider Bowl Smoke Hotter?

    No. Wider bowls generally provide more flavor.

    A Stand-up Company

    This post was refreshing. I'm so used to reading complaints that it's genuinely nice to hear somebody talking about being treated well. Thanks!

    How Many Specific Blends Do you Stay With When You Find The Perfect Combo?

    All of my pipes are Virginia pipes. Most taste the occasional latakia or aromatic blend as well. I have only one dedicated pipe, a Bonet Mallorca bent apple, and that's only because of RB Plug's overwhelming ghost. I like crossover tastes for the most part. I understand others don't. No...

    Is Meat Eating Going the Way of Tobacco Smoking?

    Well, he's wrong, then. Somebody should tell him.

    Is Meat Eating Going the Way of Tobacco Smoking?

    O Oh, but we can. It's the most unusual thing about the US, in fact. All classes may and do hunt the same game here. Of course we have licensing restrictions, but we don't have class restrictions.

    Things Not Looking Good for HM The Queen.

    Well, I like her. She's seen some crud in her day and certainly did her best.
