    Any pipe smokers from West Georgia???

    No luck on your blend at my local shop. I assume you order it online? I pastor a church in Northwest Georgia (LaFayette) but it looks like a long way away on the map (I hadn't heard of Bremen till I saw your profile). If you head up towards Chattanooga, let me know. We'll have a bowl. you've...

    How Many Open Tins at Once?

    Here's a question from a Newbie: I smoke about once a day and I currently have four open tins. It was five until yesterday when I gave up on some Moontrance and gave it to my friend bob (who likes to puff but is short on cash). I'm thinking that I maybe smoke slightly more than a tin a month...

    Being a Gentleman in the Age of the Internet

    Dave, Hmmm... I'm a little confused, to say the least. Maybe I was completely misunderstood. Perhaps this will help. 1) I didn't begin this topic, nor did I check the poster's time on this blog before I responded. 2) I didn't post the primer on "manliness" (or even repost it). 3) I wasn't...

    Hello from Montreal!

    Welcome, Airborne John! You could float out drafts of your novel for some of the brothers to read... Or at least THIS one. Another Old Dublin lover, woot! Cheers, Cyril

    tNd - new member

    Welcome to the community! I recently finished a book set in your area and learned a great deal I didn't know about the former Yugoslavia. It was very moving and very sad. The Island of the World by Michael O'Brian. Glad to see another person who appreciates Old Dublin. I'll be sure to look out...

    Being a Gentleman in the Age of the Internet

    Vivat! I would hope that a community of pipesmokers would be gentlemanly (and gentlewomanly) in our discourse and manner, with a little gentle snark thrown in, of course.

    Your first pipe: what, when and where?

    When I was maybe 16 I bought a Dr. Grabow with some cherry tobacco in a pouch. Snuck off into the woods to smoke it and snuck back into the house to avoid my sensitive nosed mother. I only tried it once or twice. I will spare you what I ended up doing to that pipe. Cigarettes, snuff, and dip...

    Smoking while reading

    I find that the pipe gives me a little time for reading which I didn't seem to have before. I smoke on my porch and it gives me a chance to be alone, away from the fam and noise. I often smoke with my Nording churchwarden. And amen to everything Thomas said. Reading ability is like a muscle. If...

    Smoking in Films

    I blush with shame for having seen the film in my much younger days, but I switched from Malboros to filterless Camels after watching Mickey Rourke smoke in Angelheart. And of course, Lord of the Rings.... The pub in Bree with Aragorn. And Harlock999, I was pounding on the chair laughing at...

    Why B&Ms are struggling

    Our B&M store in Chattanooga, Burns Tobacconists/Chattanooga Billiards, sells a large amount of cigars, but also a small amount of pipe tobacco and pipes. You can smoke there and I've been able to get a start with a few decent tins. We're probably going to have to piggy-back on the cigar smokers...

    Churchwardens? Pros? Cons? Preferences?

    I love my Nording churchwarden - you can see it in my avatar. I got it for under 80 bucks at Milan Tobacconists (www.milantobacco.com). I don't know if it's cooler, but it does have a smaller bowl than my Savinelli and that seems to make the bowl get hotter. I agree with Craig that it isn't an...

    I think the definition of "interested" will become clear quickly if you check it out. Thanks for the heads-up.
