    F.U.B.A.R. Bohica

    Wanted to find out who here has tried Bohica. I've heard horror stories, but couldn't stop myself from trying it. Dark Chocolate (strong) tin note and upon taking it. Then, slowly, comes the burn. And it keeps on coming. Whew! Never got too bad, but I have been awake, that is for sure. Finally...

    should get interesting

    Just placed another MrSnuff order, which included the FUBAR Complete Bundle and some McChrystal's Original & Genuine. Looking forward (with some trepidation) to trying the FUBAR snuffs. I'm really going to have to make it a point to smoke my pipes more......

    A metamorphosis

    so as of Thursday night (2/7/12) I quit smoking cigarettes. I know it hasn't been long, and I'm not calling the battle over yet. BUT: The change in my sense of smell is almost shocking. I mean, I knew my sense of smell would improve without the cigs, but the amount of change in a few days is...

    SG Apricot

    Ok, so I'm very new to snuff but enjoying it a great deal. Just took some SG Apricot, and realized the amount I'm taking has increased. What is interesting, and prompted this post, is that with the increased amount I'm getting a smokey kind of note along with the regular Apricot 'flavor'...

    daily snuff

    Okay, a quick question. What do you do about carrying snuff to work? Do you stick with one for the day, or carry an assortment? I've placed my snuffs in Mason jars to keep them fresh, and just put a spoonful of Berwick Brown back in it's tin for the day. Now that I've enjoyed being able to...

    first flight with Squadron Leader

    As I'm just getting back to the pipe, I'm trying some things I meant to try last time around. So my most recent order included some SG Squadron Leader. First, I'm going to have to dry this a lot more before trying the next bowl. Quite moist and I had trouble keeping it lit. Second, this is a...

    awesome video - Edmund Fitzgerald

    I've been interested in sailing for a long time, old ships of the line, etc. Stumbled across this video of the song matched to video of the actual ship. Sad and fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgI8bta-7aw

    Pipe saves the day

    We decided to take two of the grand-kids, a 4 year old boy and a 1 year girl, to the beach this weekend. We got a late start, GPS took us to a place that wasn't the hotel. Then the room hadn't been cleaned and we had to switch rooms (with the now tired and cranky kids). Took them down to the...

    GL Pease Chelsea Morning

    I tried my first bowl of this last evening, and was expecting a great deal given the reviews I have read. I was not wow'ed by bowl #1. It was not a bad blend, just not my cup of tea initially. I'm going to let it air out a bit, having read several people say that drying somewhat made a big...

    4noggins Bald Headed Teacher

    I have been hearing really good things about this blend since I started frequenting pipe forums. I finally got around to placing an order with 4 noggins and included 4 ounces of BHT in the order. After smoking a couple bowls this evening, I really wish I had order a lot more. I knew I liked...

    Something close to Burley Flake #1

    I really like the C&D Burley Flake #1, but would rather buy enough bulk to cellar some. Can anyone recommend something very close this blend available in bulk? thanks, Pete

    wow, what an evening

    thanks to a new pipe friend in Florida, I had one heck of an evening. First smokes of Escudo and 1792. I knew the aromatics weren't doing it for me, but I had no idea what was out there! I fear a serious impending attack of TAD, as I continue the quest for knowledge!

    Hello from the Carolinas

    Howdy, new to the board, and new (again) to pipes. Just got some cobs, and have begun the process of finding some blends I really like. I hope to learn a lot here. Pete
