I was rummaging around and I found a part tin of Christmas Cheer from 2006. I had not smoked a pipe in at least 2-3 years so I decided to have a small bowl. First thing I noticed is the ketchup smell is all but gone, you really have to try and detect it. Packed 3 healthy pinches in a Ferndown...

I really enjoy Cameroon wrapper cigars, recently the H. Upmann Vintage Cameroons. Problem is that the wrappers are very delicate and I find it hard to finish a cigar without the wrapper becoming a complete mess. Any advice on how to condition the cigar before smoking? Should they be drier or...

I just received 2 new Ferndowns from Pipes2Smoke. The 2 that I bought here on BoB from Atwageman primed the pump, and now I have four. Really really really nice classic English pipes. Effortless smoking as well, seem to draw themselves. I know, pics required. Have to get out the camera and...

Do many of you use bite protectors? I have adopted them for all my pipes the past few years. However, I have never been pleased with the quality of the rubber bites that I have purchased either at my local B&M or via the internet. Regardless of the brand or source, they only last a few months...

Just took delivery of 2 unsmoked Ferndowns from Atwageman. Bee-you-tiful pipes. Well packaged and arrived in just a couple of days. Highly recommended.

I have not been hanging out at BoB much in the past few months. For the past year my wife had been suffering from a very serious cardio-pulmonary disease and I had given up most of my other activities including pipe smoking to spend time with her and take over most of the household duties that...

I have fished all my life including about 10 years on the bass fishing circuit back in the 80's. Hadn't done much lately up until 3 years ago when I bought a fly fishing outfit to keep busy in the evenings on some of the local streams, mostly panfish and small bass. For Christmas the wife got me...

I headed out for about 3 days on the road this week and forgot to take my dry snuff. I got hankering for some Vit N and didn't feel like a pipe so I bought a tin of Skoal. My oldest son uses Cope and has been on me to try it. In short, not too bad. I used to chew a bit when younger but never...

I am looking for some help in identifying a book that I have not read in maybe 40 years. It is a scifi novel, author unknown. Main gist of the book is that the world's population has been reduced to a bunch of "worker bees" who do the work of the central government. They are kept under control...

Where and what brand of rubber bite protectors does everyone prefer. I had been using generic ones from my local B&M, which he gets out of a big bag he has under the counter. Lately a few of them have been splitting badly. Last tobacco order I got a dozen of the BJ Long protectors and they are...

Our daughter-in-law (oldest son) gave birth to our second grandson yesterday. Both are healthy and happy, Dad and their oldest are doing fine as well. They live in Dubai so it will be a few months before we see them in person but we already have pictures and have visited by skype video chat...

I have been smoking PS Bullseye and Luxury Twist Flake for a while now, and both are regulars in my rotation. McC 2015 is still my goto vaper and well stocked in my cellar, but I have been looking to put some more bulk tobacco away for later years and was the PS blends are certainly bargains in...

I know this has been talked about already but I just don't know how you can get a better value pipe than some of the Stanwell estates going on Ebay right now. I just received 2 pipes from the same seller that I paid less than $45 incl shipping and they are FANTASTIC. Not even my other fav...

Does regular use of snuff increase your sensitivity to nicotine? I have been snuffing for a little under 2 months and for the past 2 weeks I notice that snuffs that didn't really give me much of a kick, now they can send my head spinning. I don't snuff any more than when I started out, in fact...

Last weekend my oldest son and family were home from Dubai. He was staying at the in-laws in Chicago so while my wife played with the grandson and visited with our daughter-in-law, he and I made the journey downtown to Iwan Ries. Despite living near Joliet for 3 years, I had never been to the...

With all of the online snuff suppliers closing shop (or moving out of the country), what is everyone doing about their snuff supply. I am figuring out an order but don't want to act rashly if there is a better alternative. None of my B&M's carry any of my favorite brands and I have become too...

As I have mentioned I have just started snuffing a couple of weeks ago with a couple of tins of Wilsons - Crumbs of Comfort and Irish High Toast. Yesterday I took delivery of a larger order from Mars including a couple more Wilsons, 4 different Toques, and 2 of the Dutch Windmill. I like the...

I am a relative noob when it comes to snuff just enjoying it for the past week now. However, I have to say it is a real treat that I don't know how I managed to miss out on before. I have always had sinus issues and most mornings I have a headache from buildup over night, and normally it takes...

Does anyone know if the PACT act is definitely yes or no going to affect shipment and taxation of pipe tobacco or other non-cigarette tobacco products? I have been reading all I could find on the net and seems like it is only cigs but also seems like just a little bit of confusion still lurking...

Since I have enjoyed pretty much every form of tobacco over the years including a time with Redman and even plug chew back in my youth, I ordered a couple of tins of nasal snuff with my last tobacco order. Got Crumbs of Comfort for my first snuff, and some Irish High Toast for when I start...
