Just bought a tin of Early Morning Pipe on my way back from an exam - I had a little dosh on me, and it was a choice between a tin of pipe tobacco or a pub lunch. Figured the tobacco would last longer. I haven't smoked this tobacco since 2002, but it seems almost as good now as then, and at...

Trying the opposite, actually - to get the sensation of smoking and a more favourable room-feel (after 15 years of spending time in smoke filled rooms, clear air feels wrong somehow) without that much of a nicotine hit. I figure if you chaps can manage on a few bowls a day, I might be able to...

I tried an e-cig last year at my brother's recommendation. It satisfies the nicotine craving but is to even a roll-up what McDonalds is to a steak. I decided "to Hell with it" today and am smoking some Clan with a beer or two - feeling a bit miffed that while my brother is sleeping off a baggie...

Can't be of much help except to reinforce the previous advice to get everything in writing, be polite, nil illigitimi carborundum, and to wish you the very best of British luck!

Well, as my forum name suggests, I'm not going to recommend anything but tea. The tea I would recommend is Dilmah Ceylon tea. Made the old way, with no shortcuts, from a family-owned tea plantation, and they do everything from growing to shipping in-house. They also reinvest the profits in Sri...

Yes. Eight weeks and counting. I'm on nicotine lozenges - the NHS is helping me to quit cigarettes. However, yesterday I got an urge for a pipe so I bought some tobacco. My question is this: how much nicotine is in a typical pipe? When I smoke a cigarette, it helps the craving for a bit but...

Today I got my first new pipe in over a decade - admittedly a cheap Chinese knockoff, but it will do until I can afford to put in an order for those corncobs. For £2.25 including shipping, I wasn't expecting much, but got slightly more than expected. It smokes surprisingly well, and if it only...

Thanks for the welcome, chaps! I am hoping to import some genuine Missouri Meerschaum pipes from the US if the shipping isn't too expensive. Reading this forum and a few other online resources gives me hope that I can go from cigarettes to a few pipes a day..

Dont follow much sport - I'll watch the rugby when it's on, but Premier League football largely passes me by. I have a certain sympathy for Wayne Rooney as he seems a bit harshly treated by the media, but that's more because I watch the satire shows.

I'm a slightly odd smoker in that I started on cigars, switched to a pipe about 15 years ago, switched to handrolled cigarettes while I was at university 9 years ago with the (very) occasional cigar. I'm not a conoisseur like you chaps - I smoked a pipe because it was cheaper and nicer than...
