    New Acquisition

    I purchased this JM Boswell Freeform sitter today. It was reasonably priced and smokes like a dream. This is my second Boswell pipe. I really like them. Anyone else on the forum have a Boswell?

    Zippo customer service

    I hope this is in the right category, but if not, please forgive me. I heard through various forums that if you mail your regular zippo lighter back to the factory, they will replace the insert with a pipe. Insert free of charge. I sent messages on two separate occasions to their customer...

    Five Brothers to Pep Things Up!!

    I bought a pouch of five brothers tobacco a couple months ago and smoked a bowl and did not particularly enjoy it. The taste was fine, but it burnt fast and the nicotine hit was a little much for me. Since I didn't pay that much for it, I decided that the pouch will probably go unsmoked. Last...

    Plug tobacco

    I recently bought a couple of tins of tobacco and didnt realize they were in plug form. Im sure the shop that I bought them from would take them back but I decided to keep them. I have not smoked plug before but I watched some youtube videos to figure it out. Do you guys have any specific...

    Is This Normal?

    Title edited. No all caps. See Rule 9. I am a relatively new pipe smoker(about 2 years) but smoked cigars for several years. In the last 2 years I have put many miles on some inexpensive estate pipes. Recently I bought my first new pipe, a large Boswell. I smoked my first bowl in it which was...

    PIPE STAND MADE FROM SEASHELLS

    We went to the beach and picked up a bunch of seashells. As I looked at them I could visualize a pipe stand. What else would I use them for? People have probably done this before but I am feeling like a great inventor!! Here is my new creation with my brand new Boswell pipe!

    I am relatively new to pipe smoking(smoked cigars for many years) and like most people I had trouble keeping the dang thing lit and I had a consistent problem with gurgling. It seemed liked I was doing everything right but I was missing something. Last week I was crusing throigh some old forum...

    Zippo Pipe Lighters...Opinions Please!

    I am thoroughly convinced that something in my body chemistry destroys lighters. In the last year, I've bought several pipe lighters and all of them have failed. Of course are mostly joking, but I would like to find something reliable. Admittedly I'm not spending top dollar on the light I have...

    Large Chambered Pipes

    I have plenty of pipes with medium sized bowls. I often enjoy lighting up and sitting by a fire or reading a book and would enjoy a much longer smoke….say an hour and 15 minutes or more. I have trouble locating a decent pipe with a large bowl for a reasonable price. Perhaps my searches are bad...

    What "The Wife" Thinks

    I am an older, retired guy and about 6 months ago got intrigued with the idea of pipe smoking. I was drawn to the slow, contemplative nature of the hobby and the link with the past. When I First became interested I didn’t say anything to my wife, because I didn’t want to ruffle feathers if it...

    This is my first time posting on this form, I have smoked cigars for several years and a few months ago on a whim I bought a pipe and some tobacco. Five months later, I have an impressive collection of estate pipes and have tried many blends of tobacco to see what I'd like I am shocked that I no...
