A friend of my wife's just got into pipe smoking. Her grandfather was a life long Piper and just recently passed away. She got into piping to remember him, and her grandma gave her 3 of his pipes and some supplies. I gave her this site as a reference, and hope she joins up. I'm going to...

Over the last several months, I have come to a realization... I'm an aromatic only smoker. And I'm not ashamed of that fact. I have tried some really nice VA'sand VaPer's. They aren't BAD. I just get more enjoyment out of a nice flavored aromatic, and the smell is usually way better. I'm...

Howdy folks! Catch the first part of my crazy happenings in DFW since January HERE So, where to begin. Job situation: The job I had previously talked about that told me I was hired.... lied to me. 3 weeks of telling me I had the job (and I stop looking for work) someone from their corporate...

Howdy folks. I know I have barely had a presence here on the forums, and I am truly sorry for that. I miss being part of this board every day. Life has been.... interesting. Since moving to DFW, I have been sick with the flu, my son has been sick twice, once pretty bad. The job search has...

So my wife is seriously incredible. She has always supported me and my crazy hobbies, but this year she went above and beyond. First, she schemed with my parents to get me a new David Jones pipe similar to what I had been looking at on ebay. She ordered it and the payed for it for my Christmas...

So we finally got everything moved. And we are mostly settled into our temporary residence. Its been an exhausting few weeks but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. However I think the strain, stress. And lack of sleep has finally caught up with me, as I seem to have caught a cold. Oh...

ever bought from www.topqualitycigars.com ? They have something I may want to get, but I don't know anything about the site and can't find any reviews. Are they good to go? Have a bad rep? Anyone know anything?

So I'm sure a lot of you have read just how "broke" I am in other threads on this forum. Our financial situation has drastically gotten worse over the past few months, now to the point where some life changes have to be made. It turns out the best option we have at the moment is to move...

First he invited me over to his house to have a smoke. When I got there he gave me a glass of iced tea. Then he showed me his AMAZING pipe collection and taught me a few things about some unfamiliar brands. Then he showed me some different tobaccos, especially some Germain (sp?) and some...

Based on another thread, I thought it would be interesting to know how often everyone smokes a bowl. So, as the thread title says, How often do you smoke? And as a bonus, what do you do while smoking? Myself I average one bowl a day, in the evenings. Some days I miss, some days I may smoke 2...

Ok... I have been blessed with a very wide variety of aromatic tobaccos recently to try. I have figured out how to differentiate between the types of tobacco (to a degree). And with that, I have realized I don't really care for Burley. I don't mind blends with a small amount of it, but the...

After my thread about having issues with some tobacco, I had a couple of offers to help me out. I only accepted the first offer ( I don't want to be a mooch!) but it turned out to be amazing! Thanks DrumsAndBeer! You seriously melted my face with your generosity. And thanks to...

Currently, I don't own any briar pipes. But I hope to someday soon. I also only smoke Aromatics. And I like trying different blends. And I have read everywhere about ghosting. However, I don't have a super refined pallet. Subtle flavorings are oft lost on me. Especially in pipe smoking. When...

There has been a stomach bug going around in my neck of the woods for a couple of months. It hit my family this past weekend. Myself included. It was one of the worst illnesses I have had in my life. I didn't move out of the bed except to be sick for 24 hours, and it's taken since Sunday for...

I ordered a "lot" of aromatic tobacco from a pretty well know guy on a couple other pipe forums. 3 of the tobaccos were opened and kept in ziploc's. They also had some paper in them, labeling the tobacco and the quantity.I got the shipment in today, everything looked as promised and I was...

Anyone tried the 4noggins house blend aromatics? If so, how were they? I'm interested in trying them, but I want to stay away from the super sweet and heavily flavored. The reviews I managed to find said the tobacco still came through and the casing wasn't heavy. And That's what I am looking for.

Simple enough question... What is the best way to ship tobacco that you have already opened? Regular Ziploc?

Anyone watch the EPL? Honestly I have given up on American pro sports except the occasional Dallas Stars game, or attending a Texas Rangers game for fun. But, I do love some West Ham United! I try to stream the games every weekend I am free. I can't believe the year we are having so far, and...

Since this is my first year to be smoking, I'm not familiar with the pipe and tobacco industry around this time of year. Do the online retailers usually have Thanksgiving / Black Friday / Cyber Monday / Cyber Week sales? And are they any good? I'm trying to best use my limited budget to sate...

This fellow turned 2 months old this week. My first born. I never knew I could love something so small so much. And also the reason I can't afford a briar pipe right now :mrgreen: I present my son.
