    Muskoka Blend

    Thanks for the advice... I'll take it. One because I didnt pay much for the pipe, and two because I am very careful to smoke it gently.

    Mac Baren's blends and honey.

    Yep beyond decent... one of the reasons I wanted to take up a pipe is so I could enjoy a smoke that lasts less than 1 1/2 hrs, which most of my cigars were running. I've gotten 3 billiards a cpl bent billiards and an apple, not a big bowl among them

    Hello from TheBigSmoke... aka Toronto

Toronto has a pipe club downtown, but as of this summer, there is no legal venue where a man or woman may smoke on a patio and imbibe in a drink. Then just yesterday our Provincial government banned the sale of "flavoured" tobaccos... I assume...

    Hello from TheBigSmoke... aka Toronto

    Well, I'm glad to have found such a welcoming forum to talk about pipe smoking! I've loved the smell of pipe smoke since I was a kid in the mid to late 60s when my dad used to smoke a pipe, but sadly my mom made him quit. I took up pipe smoking myself in my late teens, but almost exclusively...
