You not kidding! First whiff of the stuff reminded me of my first sip of Laphroaig! I have to say it was a bit too intense for the mood I was in. Nothing necessarily unpleasant, just a bit much. I'm going to slowly go through some different varieties and see where my taste lands me. I also...

I ordered several different Boswell blends. If I remember right they were: Christmas Cookie, No Bite, Berry Cobler, Pipers Pleasure, and Bear Blend. No Bite Delight is the one I will definately be ordering more of. I can't exactly explain why, but its not as "perfumy" tasting as many other...

I may try that and see if it does anything to tighten things up. If so, maybe I'll try fixing up the rest of it. Otherwise I may just commission the whole job. Thanks.

and a tin of Orlik Golden Sliced

Order in. A couple oz. of Squadron Leader, a tin of Frog on the Town, and Dunhill Early Morning should get me started. Now I gotta wait.

Thanks for the reply. What do you mean when you say "a little water" in regards to the loose stem? I am guessing that water won't affect the vulcanite. I can't imagine wetting the wood, so I'm at a loss. The rest of your suggestions make sense, I'm just hesitant to do it with a pipe I care...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I looked at the 4noggins site, but 8oz is a bit much to purchase if I end up not caring for it. I've been looking into all of these and many sound appealing. I'm working on assembling a wish list. I can see the potential expense in finding a favorite. Luckily...

I have a few pipe's I inherited from my grandfather. I was thinking about having one in particular refurbished since the stem is a bit loose. I don't want it to loose any of the original markings. Does anyone have any experiences they would care to share about specific services they have had...

It seems like squadron leader is sold out everywhere online. That was one I was tentatively leaning towards. Seems like most of the S. Gawith stuff is hard to come by. Any suggestions for something a little more readily available?

I suppose everything I have ever smoked (from a pipe) was aromatic. I am looking to expand my horizons. What would be your suggestion for a first non aro?

Just tried Boswells "Berry Cobbler" in my new Savinelli Trevi. I must say the new pipe smokes great.

I have read many, many fantastic books, but the only one I have ever thought of immediately re-reading was the Count of Monte Cristo. Sweet, sweet revenge!

I'm pretty sure I read every one of his books by the time I was 19. Sadly I haven't read one in many, many years. It may just be time to revisit the Sacketts.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I started smoking a pipe when I inherited a few from my grandfather (almost 20 years ago now :shock: ). I've smoked off and on since then, but am giving a little more effort this time to become proficient. My skills are still weak, but improving with each bowl...

I've been spending a bit of time looking around and have decided to join in. Brian
