pipes & tobacco

...that before I recieved my pipe gift, I was smoking a pack a day of cheap cigarettes. After I got the pipes and tobacco, courtesy of SWilson80, I have had 2 cigarettes, both times to compare flavor with real tobacco. I smoke two pipes a day, and I am content. Thank you again, what a...

The missus set me up with Peterson 80s (1/4 bent bulldog) with a beautiful smooth finish on a very contrasty grain briar. With a few little bags of smoke and a 3:1 tool I'm loving it. But I'm realizing that packing and lighting is definitely an art to learn. :D It's like this one ...

so i have two pipes. one is a corn cob and one is briar. out of the briar pipe i have only smoked one blend. If i were to want to switch blends would i be able to by cleaning it somehow or would i have to get a pipe for a dedicated blend? there is nothing wrong with the blend i...

I tried another blend from SWilson, the Cornell &Deihl #972, in the Aldo Valani bulldog (?) pipe. Oh my, that was goood. Easy smoking, tasty as all get out, mellow, loved it. Two faves so far, #972 and Sunset Harbor. My wife said she noticed something else, since I switched to a pipe - my heart...

Or is a pipe a wonderfully mellowing experiance? I am truly enjoying my evening pipeful with my dogs, and a few brewskis.

I just got the official go ahead to smoke the pipe in the house! :D

I was forced to retire because of an injury off the job so I am "living" in my retirement on the $150 Momma allows me per month. Being a "gun nut" and shooter their is not a lot for small insignificant pleasures but I do OK for a new retiree. I am new into pipe smoking thanks to an inheritance...

how long can a tin of pipe tobacco stay fresh if its been opened but has the lid back on it with a water pillow inside? any guesses/thoughts? i just found one with that exact situation thats gotta be at least 6-8 months old. ... the pillow is still wet and there are no signs of...

I hate to advertise for myself, but I've posted pics and a description in the buy/sell forum for my Dunhill pipe that I've decided that I don't need. Don't let the price freak you out either, I'm pretty flexible on the matter. I'd just much rather see it go to one of the good folks on AmBack...

Told my wife I was going to give up cigarettes for a pipe...now I have to do it. What's a good set up for a beginner with low fundage?

Well I finally decided to get off my duff and go to the tobacconist and pick up a pipe and some tobacco. I was just there maybe 2 weeks ago and looked at the pipes but walked out with a handful of cigars only. The gentleman who helped me out was very friendly and steered me towards a low end...

Well, I spent a whole $4.00 last week for a NEW pipe. :shock: Was in Branson Missouri doing the creep in traffic (too many old fogies driving) and cowboy music thing (Momma loves that junk). :? Being as I was in the HEART of the Ozarks, I picked up a CORN COB PIPE. The souvenir...

Finnally venturing in here to this forum. Never really had much call to as if/when I smoked it was always cigs...never could get used to cigars.....(flame suit ON :lol: ) Anyway, took up Pipe Tobacco smoking over the summer and looking for some tips & hints that I'm not seeing on the general...

I was going through some old files and found some cigar and pipe tobacco reviews. Here's one from the winter of 2005. Given the heat many are enduring now, I thought it might cool someone off. Celtic Mist - purchased 10/01 - opened Jan. 12, 2005 Well, got this out of the cellar about a...

I bought a pipe!!! Its a rather simple Nording, but, she holds real well in my hand. The shop tossed in the cleaning stuff, and a good sized bag of tobacco. its a house blend. not too shabby at all. this pipe thing is great. where cigars make my car smell like a turd, this thing makes smell as...

My favorite aromatic of all time is Nording's Hunter Blend Retriever. I read on tobaccoreviews.com that is was dicontinued. I had been ordering it from Iwan Ries for the past two years, but when I checked today they do not carry it anymore. I did however find it at pipesandcigars.com, so I...

I've been gathering an interest in pipe smoking, and after some browsing I've come across two pipes that I really like. http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/r ... t_ID=29585 and http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/s ... t_ID=27423 Is one better than the other? My favorite is the...

Well, I just ordered a sampler of 8 tobaccos from C&D. My picks were: Autumn Evening Safe Harbor Harbor Sunset Star of the East Three Friars Bayou Morning Bayou Night Pirate Kake Anyone else buy anything recently? Sam

I'm in the market for a new pipe. I want to get a higher end pipe to celebrate the birth of my son. Any suggestions?

I know I haven't been around lately, and I haven't been smoking much either. But the other day, I just had a sudden attack of TAD.... (Tabacco aquisition disorder). Here is what I ordered: Samuel Gawith: Black XX Rope 50g Samuel Gawith: Fire Dance Flake 50g Cornell & Diehl: Sunday...
