Hello fellow BoBs, I've been out of the forum for A LONG time, over a year or so, busy with work, raising my daughter, and trying to fix my marriage. Two years ago, what started as a WIP to salvage the relationship I have with my soon to be ex wife, has come to a breaking point. Even after...

Sooo... I'm not really allowed to smoke in the apartment :roll: and the weather has been too cold for even the roaches. The Mrs. got sick and I spent the evening last night taking care of her. I wanted to go smoke but I also needed to be on duty if she calls, so going outside wasn't going to...

Hey Gang, I've had my eye on this particular pipe for a while now. It's the Vauen 2004 Pipe of the Year http://www.vauen.de/en/pipe-of-the-year/pipe-of-the-year-2004---no-longer-available/pipe-of-the-year-2004---j2004_j2004.aspx?cid=80&page=-1&ref=9 I love the shape but can't find it...

Backstory: With our daughter now 4, we’re having to think about school zoning restrictions as well as our future goals for what we would consider a home. My daughter’s schooling comes first! We don’t even consider apartments unless they have good public school ratings (which can be tough in many...

As popular as FVF is on the tobaccoreviews site, I've always enjoyed Best Brown more. But I'm perplexed by the comparison between Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake and Gawith & Hoggarth Best Brown #2 When I smoke BBF, I detect that little bit of Lakeland, moreso that I do the BB#2. In the case of...

Hello BoB, Some of you may or may not know but I'm a big Tolkein fan. I'm sure there are a variety of concurring/differing opinions about the latest Hobbit movies. While I feel the original trilogy is the creme de la creme, I'm actually enjoying the new trilogy and can't wait for the final...

Happy Election Day BoB, As I finish up my third bowl for the day I wanted to share with you the discovery of a new companion in pipe smoking for me: Egg Nog I'm not a big fan drinking it by itself, but I bought a quart of the Southern Comfort brand and gave it a whirl as I watched my films...

I love the look of a loaded pipe!! Not sure why... :drunken: :drunken: :drunken: Plum Pudding, ready for a later smoke in my Boswell...

MacBaren will pay!! :evil:  :evil: Well it's really my fault  :bom:  :bom: Two bowls of MacBaren, smoked two Thursdays ago (10.16) has still left my mouth in a charred state, and I have a new pipe begging to be tried. While I can hold out until I feel ready, that probably won't happen till...

I've been watching the videos posting by this fine gentleman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqSpXWJLWD8 I like this Guy!! Especially how he can smoke and talk at the same time. I get blown ash if I tried that. But I'm sure there are a few here that can do that. Love his accent and approach to...

Hello Brothers, I hope you are all doing well on this Tuesday (feels like Monday) afternoon. I could use some guidance from the folk here in a recent project my family and I started: We are planning on moving and into our first major purchase, likely a Co-Op. Queens and NYC in general are...

Heya All, I have a straight pot pipe that needs to have a stem replaced, but with a fancy acrylic stem, preferably a translucent amber. Can anyone provide a recommendation? Many thanks,

Hey Fellas, I'm sure this topic comes up a lot. I have a meer that I use to try out blends before they go into my briars. I had a bowl of Black Cherry Twist and wasn't all that impressed. I've heard Meer imparts a neutral taste to the blend, but have you ever had a case where you took a...

I have always had an interest in pipes, since I was a young lad having philosophical conversations with my pipe smoking neighbors. In my late teens, early twenties I jumped onto the cig scene, but fortunately got off before I really got on, pipes were there but in the background. A few years...

Sometimes, I am in the mood for a particular blend but most of the time, I find that I reach for a pipe that I want to smoke instead of a tobacco. It sounds a little weird, like going for the mug instead of the ale :scratch: Though in my defence pipes are a beautiful thing to behold! How do...

I just did an inventory on all the tobacco I have opened and sitting in my station and came down to 68 blends!! I either don't smoke enough, too slowly, or my TAD outpaces me. I'm trying to establish a rotation, no more than 30 blends but it seems that I've been doing a lot of testing. This will...

I got a pipe rack a few weeks ago and as nice as it is, my pipes sit a little too tightly. Half my pipes being at least a grp 4 and a bit chunky don't even nestle into the floor hold. Does anyone have a recommendation on how I can stand them comfortably. I have 36 pipes total. Many thanks BB

Hello BoB I have a Savinelli Second which I really like but would prefer to add a color and shine instead of leaving it natural. The problem is that I've already smoked the pipe a few times. Is it possible to add color after it's been smoked? How would I go about that? Can I do it at home or...

...of BBQ Sauce!! :suspect: :suspect: :twisted: I can't recall when, but it was probably at least 1.5 yrs ago when the BoB bombers decided to hit me up with a SHITE load of aromatic tobacco. However as part of their little scheme, each bomber also included a bottle of their favorite hot or BBQ...
