I’m sure I already know but don’t want to blindly assume. Should tobacco reviews be taken seriously or are they similar to cigar reviews…BS?. However, what I do like about these reviews is the relevant information such as blender, origin, blend breakdown and etc. This info I can use ..read more

Never heard of this before. Could this possibly help a newbie? Gimmick or are they for real? I'm probably smoking or relighting too fast or too often. Or perhaps, I'm not adequately drying my tobacco prior to lighting up. I tend to get a little moisture build up in the tenon area (I think this is the location??) when I enjoy a longer session (60+ minutes) and usually towards the end (last 10 or so minutes ..read more

Today, after taking in knowledge from several generous people from this forum, started back my pipe tobacco journey. These are simply my thoughts and opinions. Keep in perspective, from a new hobbyist. Started with KBV BURLEY MORNING PIPE tobacco (from @Stubble). Flavors I tasted: sweet cream and sugary notes over mild flavored coffee. I will look up this tobacco and flavor profile later. Definitely too loosely filled bowl at first. Many relights. Noticed very audible drawing sounds from bowl. Most body of smoke and flavor was on initial relights. I used a soft flame lighter. Remembering not ..read more

What do you people do with your pipe after a smoking session? Another way to put it…how do you keep your house from smelling while storing your used pipes? Not that I don’t mind the aromatic smell in the air, BUT, trying not to sink the boat with the wife so to speak. I will beat you comedians to the punch…no I can’t replace her…cheaper to keep her ..read more

Hey fellas it’s been awhile. I have decided to sell all of my tins, pipes, cigars and quit the hobby. This wasn’t an easy decision. I’ve lost two grandfathers and my mother to cancer. My sister fought and beat the same cancer that my mom had. My dad is now fighting cancer. I know the risk is low with pipes and cigars but I don’t want to increase my chances even slightly. I’ll post pics starting with 133 tins. Then all of my pipes and a few pipe racks to follow. Posting here first to give you guys first shot. I will be throwing freebies in random packages. I’ve made some really good friends her ..read more
