I enjoyed the one tin of Sasieni that I locally bought many months ago. I figured I'd buy some more at a discount and pick up a few John Patton blends to try while I was at it (8 oz. each of Storm Front, Cool Hand Fluke, and Oriental Dusk).

Back to back bowls of Newminster Ultimate English in two MM corncobs to empty out a jar.

Great to hear! I didn't find a Youtube video when this happened to me so I had to fumble around and figure it out... the fix makes sense since there is no flint left to rub against the cylinder. It's just going to spin freely until a new flint is inserted.

I am not a lighter expert.  I have an IM Corona lighter and I experience what you have described... the roller seemed to be really loose and no spark happens when you spin the cylinder. I replaced the flint and the wheel went solid (pretty much stuck and I had to force a few turns for sparks to...

Newminster Ultimate English in my new Savinelli Petite 202. I am really enjoying this blend and the Petite makes for a quick smoke.

I started watching this show on accident. I didn't want to like it, but before I knew it, I was finished with Season 1! I really dislike the theme song and I fast forward through it every time it comes on. I will even comment on that fact to any of my family members who may be around. I...

That's better than finding a $20 bill in the pocket of a jacket you haven't worn in a long time! Also, what Josjor said... pics please!

I managed to find one of these and bought it tonight! I posted my story here.

I have been looking around town for a pipe stand/cabinet/rack and have been unsuccessful at finding anything that tickled my fancy. I had seen some items on Ebay but it seemed a bit too pricey and shipping costs seemed to really add up fast. Last week plumbernator linked to a Sherlock Holmes...

Haha! I love it! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. You should be proud!

I have a tin of Dunhill Early Morning that I bought a couple of weeks ago. Horizontally printed to the left of the UPC: 1100030223

My story is similar to George Kaplans... Started cigarettes very late teens. Tried a pipe for a few months in my early 20s. That didn't last long and I smoked cigarettes for about 8 more years. After that I took a few year break from tobacco. About 3 or 4 years ago I started smoking cigars...

Overall I enjoyed Apollo 18. I was entertained, the acting was decent and the movie wasn't too long in the tooth... it was over quickly. I am a fan of space movies though. And I watched it with my wife and daughter so that may have made it more enjoyable as there were many moments that made...

I currently do not know what I am doing when it comes to pipe smoking... I plan on getting a better Avatar in the near future.

My older brother was over last week for a family dinner. I mentioned getting into pipe smoking again and he asked to see my pipes. I showed him my MM corncobs and my lone briar Savinelli. He picked up the briar and I told him not to stick it in his mouth. So he sticks it in his mouth. I...
