Hope you all enjoy your day.. :D

You may have heard this one, but here goes: "An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scotsman go into a pub. Each orders a pint of Guinness. Just as the bartender hands them over, three flies buzz down and land-- one, two, three-- in each of the pints. The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint...

Well, you guys have done it again! When queried for a tasty flake recommendation, many of you said BF was a great choice for a Virginia blend. And oh were you ever right! I'm just wrapping up my first bowl in my meer and I'm quite impressed. I did have some issues getting it to stay lit at...

So I cracked my tin of OD and took a whif..strange, there's a lat smell but it's quite musty smelling. Not "bad" per se, but very different than any other. I let a good sized bowls worth dry for about 90 minutes to make sure moisture wouldn't be an issue. I really wanted to taste it "pure" so...

Most of the time, a morning pipe is just that...time to "wake up" with a cup or 2 of coffee and smoke a bowl of whatever strikes me. Usually whatever aro I'm enjoying at the time since they typically go well with the coffee. This morning, was a bit different and it feels like something I want...

Well, it's here! I'm gonna fire up a bowl at 4pm US Eastern to celebrate! Who's with me??

So, my morning smoke with my coffee was a new one to me - it was some Altadis Rum and Maple which I got as a freebie with an order. Wasn't bad, a bit bitey if I wasn't paying attention but the thin ribbon cut was nice and it burned well...no complaints for the price. But low and behold, my...

So, along with some tobys and an estate Pete on it's way from Smokingpipes.com, I bought a new AND meer(photos forthcoming) which I received today and tried out with some SWR. I must say the pipe is beautiful and BIG....it burned a tad hot, but my toby was somewhat moist so that probably didn't...

Call it the fickle finger of fate or just my own inability to focus(more than likely) but I had yet to try a Pease blend until my lovely wife gifted me some Key Largo for Xmas. So, as my Habana Daydream has all but run out I decided to crack the tin of KL and am enjoying my first bowl of it and...

Ok...so I've had some time to get myself in a place to offer taste\smoking impressions of ConYan, so here goes: Having been to the middle East I have a good understanding of what dry is and this was shipped to me very Saudi Arabia-ish..now I think that is a P&C thing because the LJ Heart Burley...

Ok...I'm hoping this post will serve 2 purposes. First as a question and second as a warning of sorts. Question - have any of you experienced smelling a very ammonia -like smell when burning a particular tobacco? I was smoking a bowl of Brebbia Balkan today and with about a quarter of it left...

So, late in September I posted a poll asking for some opinions on "next tobys" to buy and I got a good number of answers...one being Orlik Golden Sliced which I went ahead and ordered... Flash forward to yesterday when I cracked the tin open to smell it....it smelled grassy and semi-sweet which...

So McClellands made 3 exclusive blends for PipesandCigars in a limited 100 units of each run..I scored a tin of Lazy Days. Just came in today! Woo-hoo!

My wife did VERY well to be sure! I hope everyone had a good holiday and I wish you all a GREAT 2012!

Best damn Xmas ever?? Pretty close...photos forthcoming but my first half-bowl was exquisite. Smoked like a dream...once I get it all broke in I'll decide if this is the best pipe I own but at this point, just WOW! Seems almost to good to be true.. :santa:

Ok - I've begun being able to identify when a certain blend marries well with a certain pipe(ie-my Habana Daydream LOVES my Great Dane cob). Now I'm trying to ascertain which leaf is causing the "astringency" on my palate and tongue when I smoke it. That's the best description I have of what...

:P Until I got my Habana Daydream for my birthday! My second bowl today and all I can say is WOW! I've been hesitant to review a toby as I still don't feel like I know what tastes are atributed to which leaf, but I WILL go on record as saying this "genre" is a nice change. Certainly not what I...

Ok - looking over the jars and tins I have on hand, I noted there was plenty of latakia/balkan and even a cigar leaf blend on the way(part of my b'day gift to myself!). I don't have a good VA or VA/Per sitting on the shelf however so I went to the TAD and will be looking to order. Here are my...

Ok, so I've been at this since early July and I must admit..I think I'm getting better at smoking a pipe. Turns out, though, that the smoking part is only a fraction of the overall picture...I'd welcome other "newbs" (or anyone for that matter) that would like to add to this, but here are some...
