Hello all, Anyone have a suggestion for a pipe tobacco that has a lot of cigar leaf or made entirely from cigar leaf? I've read the description regarding GLP's Robusto, has anyone smoked it? Thanks Ed

So I tried my very first bowl of Navigator, which was good, but it certainly didn't knock my socks off. This might have been my first go 'round with a flake, I can't remember if I smoked any flake tobacco when I use to smoke a pipe 15 years ago. But anyway I did like how slow burning it was and...

Since I really like Magnum Blend I want to buy a large quantity to age, but having never smoked an "aged" version of Magnum blend I'm wondering whether I'll even like an "aged" version. Has anyone ever allowed a favorite tobacco to age and then find they no longer like it? I want to buy one...

Gentlemen, I've been smoking a good bit of Magnum Blend by JM Boswell, but was wondering if anyone else makes a similar/comparable blend? Have a relaxing Sunday. Ed

Gentlemen, I've never tried Dunhill pipe tobacco, but was thinking about taking abvantage of Smoking Pipes buy 4 get 1 free. Normally I smoke Magnum blend by JM Boswell, Cairo, Lagoda or Frog Morton on the Town. Any suggestions for tobacco Dunhill? I've read the descriptions on Smoking Pipes...

For the last couple of weeks all I've smoked is, Lagonda and Frog Morton on the Town in every pipe I own. I'm becoming seriously addicted to Frog on the Town. I especially love the scent on my hands even hours after smoking. Ed

Gentlemen: To any of you that smoke both cigars and pipes, do you have any problems/issues going back and forth. The last cigar I smoked (which was one I smoked often prior to returning to pipes) tasted horrible...think cigarette type taste horrible, and yes, it was purchased from the shop...

Gentlemen: With all things being equal (i.e. either a sealed tin or placed in a mason jar, out of direct sunlight, etc.) how long will stored tobacco be smoke-able (i.e flavorful, not dried out)? I'm concerned about the FDA and rising prices and diminished availability so I want to start a...

Gentlemen: I'm ready at trying my hand at building a pipe and am starting with a pre-drilled block, anyone have a suggestion for which supplier has the best blocks? Or is the easiest to deal with? Or has the most precise drilling? Hope the treats you well, Ed

Being a long time (over 20 years) cigar smoker, I've noticed over the years that some cigars produce a larger volume of smoke than others (not counting the occasional stick that has a plug or other abnormality which effects the draw). Is there a particular pipe blend that is especially known for...

I have been bitten by the pipe building bug and have a couple of questions before I begin. I know from owning pipes and smoking them that the interior shape of the bowl is an inverted cone, is there a problem making width of the tobacco chamber equal from top to bottom, i.e not conical? Also is...

Let me start by saying I completely understand this is a personal decision, but I'm asking anyway because I'm really torn. I have an estate Parker that I paid $85.00 dollars for, my dog chew the stem before I even had a chance to smoke it. Doing a bit of investigating on the web it looks like...

I'm just wondering if you are taking the threat of the new tobacco tax seriously, are are currently buying extra tobacco just in case? The bill doesn't seem like it should even get out of committee but since it potentially would raise tax revenue you can never tell. Ed

I have looked through the sticky RE blends for new smokers and have then looked at descriptions of different tobaccos on sites such as Smoking Pipes and perhaps I'm missing something. It seems to me that English blends and "Orientals" are very similar. Is this true? Or am I missing something? It...

Is there a general rule of thumb about how long a pipe should rest between smoking? Generally is 24 hours enough? Thanks, Ed

Does anyone have any experience or have smoked a Russ Cook pipe? Or a Michael Novak pipe? Thinking about getting a pipe from one of these makers and need some advice. Thanks, Ed

I really wanted to like this blend...BUT...I just don't like it at all. I kept smoking it thinking if I changed pipes, changed how I pack it, even what time of day I smoked it. But nothing...Anyone else had this experience with Blockade Runner? Thanks, Ed

Does anyone have any experience with G. L. Pease's Cairo blend? Good, bad or indifferent? Thanks, Ed

Has anyone smoked this particular tobacco before? If so did you find it particularly aromatic? I bought a tin and every time I smoke it around anyone they say don't get much smell at all. Just wondering what someone else's experience is. Thanks, Ed

Can a pipe made to hold a 9mm filter be smoked without the filter? Are there any problems associated with not using a filter in a pipe designed for one? Thanks Ed
