    Any Fans of Mac Baren 7 Seas Blends?

    Hey all, As a new pipe smoker, I am still on the hunt for my daily "go to" blend. So far, it's essentially Carter Hall, but I would like to move beyond only smoking an OTC blend (not that there is anything wrong with that, as I am doing just that as I type this). I have recently discovered that...

    Could I Have Some Sort of Latakia Sensitivity?

    Hey all, I have a question here. Have any of you heard about pipe smokers with a sensitivity toward Latakia? I ask because the first time I tried Frog Morton's Cellar, I swore that it made me feel ill. It turned out I was actually getting ill, so I dismissed it as simply that, I was sick. I...

    A Couple Questions About Overly Dry Tobacco

    Hey all. I recently picked up a pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh to try, and found when I opened the pouch that the tobacco was very dry, almost too dry IMO. Well, I had bought Half & Half before, and thought that it came a bit wet it the pouch, so my idea was to simply combine the two pouches and...

    A Special Thanks to Pipesicle, and a Q About Penzance

    First of all, I want to say "Thank You" to forum member Pipesicle for generously sending me a VERY nice sized batch of Esoterica Penzance. His generosity is GREATLY appreciated, and I wanted to give him a "Public" thank you. 8) Now for my (obscenely silly)question. How do you prepare, load...

    My thoughts on Frog Morton's Cellar. My first non-OTC blend.

    Hello all, Being new to pipes, I have not yet had the opportunity to smoke very many different tobaccos yet (five total), and the ones I had tried previously are all OTC blends, as they are available locally, and are relatively low cost. So far I have smoked (in order as I tried them) Super...

    Peterson Dracula has arrived! Pics included.

    Hey gang, I apologize for the delayed update, but my Peterson Dacula arrived on Thursday. I have not yet had the opportunity to start breaking it in, but I did take some pics to share with all of you. First is a picture of my entire pipe collection so far. It consists of my Dr. Grabow Grand...

    Chacom Pipes, What Do You Think?

    Hey all, in looking at various pipes on the online vendor sites, I happened across a Chacom pipe that I REALLY like the look of, and the price is right as well. As far as I can tell, these are French made pipes and they recently teamed up with Danish pipe maker Tom Eltang, a former pipe designer...

    Tewksbury & Co. Your thoughts?

    Hello all, With the ordering of my new Peterson Dracula, I was searching for an "appropriate" tobacco to smoke through it for fun. What I stumbled across was Tewksbury & co's Nosferatu blend. In my mind, these these two are just "begging" to be paired for a fun night of pipe smoking. :lol...

    Ordered a New Pipe. Peterson Dracula 2012 X105 Fishtail

    Hello all, Well I decided to place an order for a new pipe today. I went with a Peterson Dracula 2012 X105 (billiard) Fishtail. I really like the looks of this pipe and was instantly smitten with it after discovering its existence in another thread where someone was asking for opinions...

    How Many Pipes Do You "Need" in Your Rotation?

    Hello pipers, I see a lot of chatter on the forum regarding pipe collections, and their size. I often see pipe collections that start in the teens/20s and upwards of 50+. As a new pipe smoker it's a bit overwhelming to think that I need to buy 20 pipes or more, just to have a "good" rotation...

    New to Pipes and to the Forum. My Questions and Ramblings...

    Hello everyone. As an off again/on again daily cigarette smoker, I was recently turned on to smoking cigars. I have only been smoking cigars for a couple weeks now and really like them quite a bit. Of course, when you start getting into the cigar hobby, it gets expensive very quickly, and seems...
