    You BUMS!!

    After reading some of your posts here I dug out a couple of my old pipes. The one I smoked the most is a Ben Wade Intermezzo that I have had over 20 years. I picked up a tin of Blue Note. Guess I need to shop around for some more.

    Need advice on pipe tobacco

    I've had a pipe for about a year now, and have always loved the ways pipes smell. But I know nothing about the tobacco for them. I've recently started smoking cigars and love them, but that can get costly. So I've decided to break out my pipe again and give it another go. Can any of y'all give...

    Clay Pipes

    Favorite pipe toabacco

    If you had to smoke one, and only one, blend of pipe tobacco. What brand would it be? By the question I mean brand name and blend. Not types of tobacco in the blend. I don't have one yet, but Boswell's No Bite Delight and Frogmorton are the two tops for now. This is my 250th post btw...

    cost of a good pipe

    i have never seriously smoked a pipe. This means that i have newbie-type questions. the big one on my mind is this: I know that "good" pipes cost a premium price being that they are hand carved and what not. Does that make any difference on the taste? why should i spend premium money on a...
