    Blood tests for Nicotine?

    So, assuming an individual smoked one or two bowls of tobacco a day and didn't inhale...how long would nicotine traces remain in said person's system for purposes of detection in a blood test? Purely theoretical question of course. 8)

    Blender's Gold Cherry Cavendish: Not bad for a pharmacy bac

    So, when I first started out...I bought a cob and a tin of Blender's Gold Cherry Cav from the pharmacy. My initial impression was that it was enjoyable, but reeked of cough syrup and left a stinging sensation in the back of my throat. I opened the tin back up a couple days ago and loaded up a...

    Getting my son to sleep in his crib: The fun begins tonight

    Well, the wife and I decided that tonight is the night that we get our 6.5 month old son to sleep in his crib. Until now, we have had him sleeping in his pack-n-play in our bedroom.

    Last Night's smoke

    I am Daddy to a six month old boy...so my free time is pretty much non-existent. Nonetheless...I managed to sneak in about a half hour last night to pursue gentlemanly indulgences. It was colder than all get-out last night (which, around here, translates to 38 degrees. Northerners, please don't...

    Non-aromatics for an aromatic lover?

    Hi all. I just started taking up the pipe a couple months ago. I have only smoked aromatics (MacBaren vanilla cream, McClelland Best of Show, and good old black Cavendish) with the exception of this one house blend whose leaf type I am unsure of but tasted unpleasantly like cigarettes. That...

    Buying my first "nice" pipe...need advice!

    I have an economy/beginner Savinelli that I bought as my first pipe. It is absolutely wonderful and I love it. That said...I got bit by the bug pretty badly and now I am wanting a classier, prettier piece. I am very much attracted to Peterson 999s, but folks on another board I frequent brought...

    Hello all! Been smoking a pipe for a little over a month and thought I would join up to chat and glean some wisdom. This is rapidly becoming my favorite hobby. 8)
