After 52 years in Michigan, we are moving to Sunny Florida. By this time next Month, we will no longer endure the "four", ahem ..... "two" seasons of Michigan. I will be fully retired and back in action around here once things have settled. All of my pipes and tobacco are already there save a...

I prefer tinned tobacco. Specifically, I really like flake tobacco and getting more specific than that, I like Peterson flakes. I'm preferable to square tins and was sort of disappointed with Peterson moving away from the squares on the University and Irish line. Take the poll, what do you...

Dear friends, I have been rather absent lately. I've cut way down on my pipe smoking due to health reasons and haven't checked into the forum or participated in a long while. Not giving up on the pipe, simply cutting back on purchases and use until other matters in life get settled. Nothing...

Just picked up a bottle of a different Single Malt Irish Whisky yesterday. Taking some sips this evening for the first time. Not bad, not bad at all .... Anyone else try this one?

I've seen these subforums before on shaving and other pipe related forums. As a person who simply uses a pen to write checks and while at work, I have to ask: What do you write with these pens? I see such a fascination with all of these different types of pens and for the life of me, I don't...

I've been struck by a Cuban Missile barrage by one of our newest members wij! William and I were discussing Cuban Cigars and pipe tobacco via pm and I offered a very modest sampling of tobacco for him to try. In complete retaliation, I was overwhelmed today by a sneak salvo by El Presidentes...

After travelling for the last week on vacation, I returned home to cold weather and cold and flu symptoms. Going to take a break from pipe smoking for awhile for health reasons as well as due to the overall cold weather conditions here at home. Best regards,

As some here already know, I was the lucky swab to be fortunate enough to have Scottie draw my name for Secret Santa this year. Pictured below is her handcrafted Scottie Tomato that I am enjoying for the first time today. This baby has a bowl as generous as Jethro Bodine's Cereal Bowl! A...

Specifically addressing this question to anyone who has taken part in a cruise and more specifically on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship. I have had a friend tell me that while smoking is authorized on a ship in specific areas that it really isn't very convenient for pipe smokers. Can anyone here...

After smoking one of my briars, I try to always clean them after they are cool enough to do so. I usually finished the cleaning job with leaving the last pipe cleaner inside the pipe and running through and out of the end. I did this to help soak up in remaining moisture at the bottom of the...

I personally love Paul Spaniola's Cayuga Oiled Briar pipes. This coming Friday, Paul's is having their Christmas Sale from Nov 24 - Dec 25, 2017 35% Off All Pipes over $55 I've personally driven to Paul's an hour away just to snap up a Cayuga or two. http://www.paulspipeshop.com/

So, I've come to the conclusion as of last summer that I don't care for aromatics. I am a dedicated flake smoker. My current go-to favorites are (not in any particular order mind you): Peterson's Irish Flake Peterson's University Flake McLelland Navy Cavendish MacBaren Navy Flake Stonehaven...

How many here use the webpage/database to track your cellar? I do have a question for those who do: In the newsfeed, it will give the status "User XX puffed a bowl of brand XX". How does one update a smoked bowl of any one tobacco brand on that program? I didn't see that feature in any of the...

Smoking the pipe has long been thought of as a thinking Man's or Woman's way of life. People like G.K. Chesterton and Albert Einstein just to name two were regular pipers. So, my question is this: What do you think about or perhaps what else do you do when enjoying your pipe? For myself, the...

Has anyone else tried to cook with a Himalayan Salt slab? We have found these blocks in stores near us and are already fans of using sea salt, Kosher salt as well as Himalayan salt to cook with as a healthier option. We purchased one a couple of weeks ago and used it to cook steaks on using no...

Thank you for allowing me to join. I live in Michigan and have smoked pipes for over 20 years. I prefer flake tobacco and look forward to being active in the forum Frank

My name is Frank and I have been a pipe smoker since 1987 on and off. I recently just "rekindled" my affection for pipe smoking and am happy to be back. Frank
