    Best Cigar Under Five Bucks & Best Bundle Deals?...

    i've had authentic cubans and a few other tasty selects, yet i haven't found a better all around great cigar than Amish Palmas..i first had one like 8 years ago and they were obviously a bit cheaper back then..came out to about $1.25 per cigar. They are just a tad more now but not by...

    Pipe and Beer pairing

    haha well, taking one step further..porters and stouts are virtually the same beer..long ago there were strickly porters..then porters were being made that were much heavier in body and everyone started saying "thats a stout porter!"..so there was a distinction between the two styles..today in...

    Pipe and Beer pairing

    i've had Old Speckled Hen a few times, its easy to find around here..its a great beer! just for the record, a stout IS an ale..in the spectrum of beer, there are two categories, ales and lagers..which basically just tells whether the yeast was top fermenting (ales) or bottom fermenting...

    Pipe and Beer pairing

    Yeah Founders does not ship overseas, i can do some research to see if anything is similar being produced in Ireland..however, if interested in getting into craft beer, i would do a search for home brew clubs in your area..you could get to know some guys and even get some to brew some to your...

    Pipe and Beer pairing

    So I am a craft beet advocate as well as homebrewer. Beer is my forte and I love pairing different beers with different foods. I smoked from a new tin of Maple Street as my local tobacco shop had an abundance on sale so I figured I'd try. It smells and tastes great and the residual sweetness...

    what's up

    thanks for all the input guys. i have been researching pipes and tobacco like crazy, and a lot of what you said is exactly what i've been reading, for instance i have been looking at mainly savinellis and petersons, and know that briar is a good wood to search for and what most are made from...
