    In Praise Of The Cob

    I was smoking my old trusty Country Gentlemen cob last night, when it dawned on me what kind of workhorse this pipe really is. I smoke it all the time, it gets a little of everything pushed thru it, and it doesn't get the attention and cleaning near as much as the briars do. Yet, time after...

    Macqueen Pipes

    Anyone have one? Really decided I want one of the Lord Of The Rings series. But I will be smoking it, not setting it on a shelf to look pretty. Any thoughts? I like the White Wizard or the Ranger.

    Smoking in the heat.

    Here in Western KY, we've had heat advisories every day for what seems like the last month, and it doesn't look like it's gonna let up anytime soon. My pipe smoking seems to have dropped off as of late. Does anyone else see there smoking habits declining due to the heat? It just doesn't seem to...

    Aromatics

    Like most, when I started pipe smoking, I smoked aromatics. Over time, I switched to mostly English and Balkan blends. Recently, I have wanted to find some good aromatics to keep around. After reading several post on the topic, I noticed two blends that seem to pop up quite frequently; Butternut...

    First Plug

    I picked up a tin Peterson's Perfect Plug from my local tobacconist. This is my first plug. I am enjoying it. I still don't have a good taste for it yet. What I do enjoy about the plug is you sort of choose your own destiny with it. You can rub it out, fold and tuck, or cube it out. I suspect...

    Valentines Day

    Wow. Out of nowhere, I scored a Sherlock Holmes Charring Cross pipe cabinet and a Peterson pipe / Zippo gift set for Valentines day from my wonderful wife. I must have did something right!

    Substitute

    As of late, Peterson's Old Dublin is becoming more and more of a daily smoke. Can any of you seasoned smokers tell me of an equal that I can buy in bulk? I ran a few searches and couldn't come up with anything.

    Fresh From The Barn

    I ran into a friend of mine today. In addition to his full time job, he farms and raises burley and dark fire tobacco. While discussing our high school careers as tobacco field hands, I lit my pipe up. He recommended next fall when the crop comes in, I should come out to his farm and get a...

    Cheap Pipes

    I have a Purex pipe that I picked for little of nothing at a local antique store. I thought I would add it to small collection of "beater" pipes or yard pipes, whatever you want to call those pipes that you keep just for fishing, mowing, throwing at people, etc. Anyway, I have found that over...

    Greetings.

    Hello. Been smoking on and off since 2004. I have "dipped" Skoal or Kodiak since 1993, but have now quit. I started smoking pipes because my dad smoked one on and off. I also worked with a group of "old school" engineers who all smoked a pipe in the office. I now enjoy my nightly smoke with...
