    Snus

    A buddy of mine gave me a tin of Camel “SNUS” so I figured why not try it. The tin is full of little individual packages of Snus and the directions say to place on pack under upper lip for 30 min, with no need to spit. Well, a few minutes after trying one, my mouth was immediately filled with...

    Levi Garrett

    I found my local grocery store sells large jars of Levi Garrett snuff in the tobacco section. Any opinions on this snuff?

    Robert Downey Jr. As Sherlock????

    I thought the movie was great. It was true to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s characters for the most part. I especially enjoyed the fact that they didn’t make Watson seem like a bumbling idiot as they did in the Rathabone films. The movie even featured classic characters such as Irene Adler, Inspector...

    Snuff Help

    Ok guys, here I find myself wanting to embrace yet another hobby….nasal snuff. I guess it’s time to order some up as I have sinus troubles and from what I have read today, it may actually help that, plus the only time I can smoke my pipe is in the afternoon, if my wife doesn’t run me out of the...

    I'm back...

    Thanks. After smoking a bowl of year Latakia #1 last night, It seems very different than when it was fresh. Is it ok let a tin of tobacco sit for that long, or should I toss it?

    I'm back...

    Hey guys, it's been a while since my last post here as I put away my pipe shortly after getting into the hobby as I couldn't seem to get the hang of it. I happened to pick it up over the Christmas holidays and here I find myself scouring the internets for used pipes and tobacco reviews....man I...

    Quite an interesting pipe night!

    Yeah, I have seen the mean side of them many times, that's why I was hesitant about moving. People in the neighborhood feed them so they go from house to house looking for hand outs.

    Quite an interesting pipe night!

    So I went out on the patio to smoke a bowl of Exhausted Rooster (thanks EJ!), and read a few Sherlock holmes stories last night. I always take my .22 rifle out with me in case any of the neighborhood cats come roaming in my vegetable garden to relive themselfs. About half way throught the bowl I...

    Latakia No.1

    So now I understand what all the fuss is about, I think I had the ultimate pipe smoking experience last night. The weather had made a surprising change for Texas this time of year, it was slightly chilly, and rainy. I sat for about an hour listening to the rain drops falling a few feet from my...

    Latakia No.1

    I managed to find a tin of Butera's Royal Vintage Latakia No.1 last night. Since I have only smoked and smelled aromatics, the tin aroma of this is very strange to me. It smells VERY strongly, I opened it in the car on the drive home, and my wife complained about the stench for 45 minutes! What...

    Darn it!

    So would smoking the same pipe every afternoon keep it from drying properly?

    Darn it!

    It is a brand new pipe, with only 4-5 smokes on it. I think the problem is in my tobacco. I only have a few (wet) aromatic blends that I simply can’t taste, so I puff them hard trying to get some rich tobacco flavor that is just not there. Not having a tobacco shop nearby makes it hard to just...
