    What to Smoke on July 4th

    I think it's gotta be a Burley if you're patriotic. What's everyone else going to light up?

    Request for Videos of Smoking Cadence

    A lot of new pipe-smokers are told to make sure they don't smoke too quickly and ruin the tobacco's flavor, let the heat bite their tongues, and burn out their pipes. On the other hand, they struggle to keep their pipes lit. What does a proper smoking cadence look like? I'd love to get some...

    Now I am a Master

    I graduated with my MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary. I had to take some pics smoking in my regalia. " />

    Inquiry: Anyone interested in DUNHILL or GH&Co for $3/oz+s/h

    Mods: if this is the wrong place feel free to move it! Ennerdale, BB#2, Brown flake scented, Dark Flake (either way), Brown Boggie ($3.50/oz). Would you pay that + $3 s/h for these tobaccos? I have a friend who can order whole boxes for cheap, but I don't need that much. I thought if I spread...

    McClelland 2045

    I just had my first bowl this morning. It really strikes me as an aromatic, which is not something I like. It was very sweet, and the pinch of latakia and even the oriental flavor were in the background, supporting the sweetness. I didn't mind the latakia being in back, but I wanted a stronger...

    GH&Co. Scotch Flake; Scented or Not?

    The description of the leaf sounds great, as do reviews on TR.com. But there are two blends there: scented and unscented, and one of the two reviews of the scented version said it tastes just like the unscented. Further googling did not turn up any store that sold both versions, unlike dark...

    Do Spirit Toppings (rum, etc.) Ghost? (Pipe Dedication)

    If a navy flake is composed of VA and Perique, but has a noticeable rum topping, would you smoke it in your VAPer pipe or dedicate a separate pipe? Would you keep one pipe for spirit-topped blends regardless of constituent tobaccos (GLP Navigator has Kentucky), or have separate pipes for...

    H&H Lakeland Brickle Fortissimo

    I have just cracked a 2 year old jar of this stuff. I think I like it. The topping is not as strong as I thought it would be, and I'm not sure I can detect exactly what the flavors are, but it's nice. It doesn't seem nearly as floral as GH&Co Kendal Flake. It certainly has some nicotine kick to...

    Blends for Wide Chambers (like 320).

    I just got a deal on a Savinelli 320. The tobacco chamber is MASSIVE. I don't want to dedicate it to Brown Rope lest I die of nicotine overdose. What sort of blends do you guys smoke in really wide chambers? Which sorts of blends do you stay away from?

    Pipe Dedication? Advanced

    Since I first started grabbing estates I noticed that they were cheaper by the dozen, so I've always had a large if not glamorous collection. I decided to dedicate pipes to different styles because I heard it was good to do, and it's worked out well for me. I'm probably over-thinking this, but...

    First Pipe in Progress

    I'll be posting videos here of the work I do on my first pipe. Check back to stay up-to-date on its progress. It'll probably take a while to edit and upload the videos (since I'd rather spend time actually working on the pipe), so I'm actually further along than they show. Here are the first...
