A bowl of Ancient Imperial from Steve Books in a Nording Natty

Thanks for the kind words. As you can probably tell, when I jump into something, it's head first. I'll take another pic at 60 and see how it has changed. Thanks for the read fellas! I think I also forgot to mention the fact that all the aromatics on the left side of the first pic are my...

Howdy! Now that I've been 30 days in since my first introduction to piping, I thought it would be fun to take a couple of pics of my current smoking stash. I don't yet have a cellar, as everything you see is opened for smoking. Very soon I'll be working on my "cellar" for long term storage of...

Much appreciated.

Thanks, I'll keep that name in mind when we head over soon to check on property.

Here's the response I received from Greg: I wish I could tell you! The process is held fairly secret, though if I could go there personally and watch, I'd be able to figure it out. I do know that in Syria, the indigenous pine was one of the woods used, not hardwoods, but I suspect other shrubs...

Ok, I've emailed GL Pease with a few questions, so we'll wait and see if he gets back to me. I think with the lack of good Latakia in the market, that there is definitively room small batch Lats to be produced stateside.

Thanks for all the answers guys. However, the specifics of what I want to know are still going unanswered. Which woods are used in combination with what types of herbs. Has anyone ever produced a PNW Latakia using Apple wood? How about smoking it with coffee grounds? How do the different...

Red Breast 15yr and a bottle of Kraken

As I learn more and more about piping and the processing of pipe tobacco, one bit of information has seemed to be out of my reach so to say. That is, I would like to know the traditional method of producing Latakia tobacco. Does anybody have any information on the subject? I would greatly...

LOL. Yeah, we are dry heads. What can i say. My wife is also a stage 4 Crohns' Disease sufferer and has very low vitamin d and has become anemic due to the lack of sunlight in her life. We are basing our move on that and the fact that her sister is also moving to Colorado, and they both have...

When we review cigars on our site, we absolutely take price into account. Not only that, but we are one of the only sites (the only one that I personally know of) that actually weighs each cigar reviewed, taking the raw tobacco value into consideration also. Recently we had an instance where...

She usually comes over to me, walks up to the pipe collection, grabs one and a jar of "Jenny's 'Baccy" and joins in. Yep, shes a keeper.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! While I do love Portland, the wife and I are from different parts of the country and have still not become accustomed to the 9 months of rain we get here. We plan on moving to the Denver Metro area within the next 6 months to a year as we need more...

Personally, I'll invest in seeds and the black market. :twisted:

Just had some McClelland Blankeney's Best Tawny Flake from '09, and a bowl of fresh Oriental Mix #12. Both were samples I received in a pipe trade recently, and I can't wait to find more of that Tawny Flake. It has something in it that smells of either cinnamon or all-spice. I can't quite put...

Congrats on the babe. I smoked a Cain F today, as I was wanting something NC and mellow. Hitting some Hispaniola sticks tomorrow for review.

The sugary soda on the side is a great idea! I have always told my non-smoking friends that want to come have a cigar with me at my weekly herf to bring a sugar packet with them. In the case that they become overridden by nicotine, I have them put the sugar under their tongue and let it...

I have gotten my wife to start smoking with me recently. She of course enjoys the sweeter and more "flavored" tobaccos, while I usually puff something english. She will smoke my english blends, but with reserve and doesn't enjoy them nearly as much as I. We have a nice smoking area setup in...

Howdy folks, My name is Clancy and I'm new to the site. I've been piping for just over 3 weeks now (don't laugh too hard) and I found this site while researching pipe tobaccos. I got into smoking pipes through my online friends at another forum, and have been jumping into it head first. I'm...
