pipes & tobacco

Just recently bought a pipe, and noticed some tins of C&D tobacco sitting there...so I asked to look at them....checked the date on the bottom knowing sure well Craig put one there....and check out what I found.... May 01 2006...Berry Good April 20 2006...#734 Green River Vanilla Both...

Breaking in it right now with some C&D Bed and Breakfast (two friends blend)

They both like to bite! Although it has a great flavor and aroma, it needs to be smoked ever so slow. Needs a bit of drying out of the tin as well. It seems it's best when right on the verge of going out. Although I highly recommend it for an aromatic, muster up all the patience you can while...

I was just browsing and thinking of buying a pipe and thought I'd check here first. Anyone interested in trading a decent pipe they don't use anymore for a few premium cigars? The humi is packed to the gills and I have a lot of really fine cigars in there and I wouldn't mind trading some for a...

Put in an order about 30-40 minutes before they closed on Friday. Since Monday was a holiday, it didn't ship until Tuesday, and here it is Thursday and it's in my mailbox. Three day delivery time from NC to AZ, not bad. The lady was very friendly and helpful. I got 2oz cans of Espresso (#305)...

Is G.L. Pease still alive? I thought I saw somewhere that he passed.

I just dropped a digi hygrometer in a sample pack of Dark Caramel from Cornell&Diehl....and its 83% in there....the only reason i did it is because it was smoking hot and wet...whats the best way to store pipe tobacco? is it 70% like cigars? Do you keep yours in a humidor loose? 65% beads in...

mommy, mommy, will you take me to "build a pipe" today....i want to put in the stuffing...Purple Cow I think.... What's the skinny on the falcon pipes? good pipes? smoke cool? anyone got one?

Well I got my sampler package in today, while my pipes don't come in until tomorrow :(, I must say they all smell great. These are the ones that I got. Tinned Blends - Autumn Evening Two Friends - Heritage #210 - Berry Good #300 - Apricots & Cream #306 - Mocha #309 - Irish Blessing...

Ok pipesters, riddle me this....I'm enjoying a bowl of Gray Ghost at the moment...and it just scared the bejeepers out of me...that's right, i said bejeepers....it made a flare up noise like someone just poured the ladle of water on the hot rocks in a sauna...what would that be from....did it a...

Anyone have leads on where to get pipe tobacco samples/samplers online? I'm talking about 1oz or so of a particular kind. An inexpensive way to try out a number of flavors without having a pile to get rid of if you don't like it. Like a cigar sampler that has 6 different models of...

Can I say again what a cool guy he is, with the incredible pipe/tobacco gifts. Haven't bought a pack of cigarettes in a month... 8) Thanks, friend!

Anyone have a Brigham pipe? Wondering how they smoke, and if the rock maple filter gimmick is worth it....

That I hate you guys.... :) No really though, you guys talking about pipe tobacco made me buy a few pipes, accessories, and I have 9 different samples coming in from Cornell and Diehl next week (very very nice people btw.) So not only do I have to support my salt water fish/reef & cigar...

So I have read and understand that a good briar pipe needs to rest for 24-48 hours to dry out...does this mean that if you smoke more than one bowl a day, you need more than one pipe for that day? Is this drying time for 1 bowls worth...and finally, do meerschaum pipes need to rest?

Ok, so here's a few questions I've been thinking about.... 1) This might seem silly to some, but if a cigar's blend derives from an even burn of its fillers, binder(s), wrapper(s), is it technically concievable to grind up a cigar and smoke it in a pipe, lol...I know that sounds ridiculous...

Have found a blend I adore. How should I store it for future use? Thanking you in advance.

So a friend of mine hooked me up with a NICE W.O. Larsen pipe. I have been wanting to try pipe smoking, so I have just opened up pandora's box. Let the tasting begin. Seems like the varieties of pipe tabacco are more complicated than Cigar leaf. Any suggestions for some sweet stuff?

I must say....just as there is a difference between "dept store" or "gas station" cigars...the same goes for pipe tobacco...in a big, big, way. I recently recieved my 2oz sampler from Cornell&Diehl, and wow. Stronger, much tastier, with no unpleasant tastes, spicier, yet cooler on the tongue...

When I smoke, and misture builds upto make the bubbling sound, is this indicative of a good fresh tobacco? Doesn't bother me at all, just curious.
