    On Smoking Slowly and the Benefits...

    You've made a great point. I've been smoking a pipe for about 20 years now, but that was only one bowl a day with my coffee int he morning before work. When I retired two years ago I had much more time to smoke my pipe. In the last two years my smoking technique, packing and enjoyment of the...

    Four Aces Red by Republic

    I have I was curious why you say to tamp it down hard? I've read where others, referring to other tobaccos say the same thing. I was under the impression that one shouldn't tamp down hard when filling a bowl because it will be difficult to smoke and will burn hot. I'm sure you're correct in...

    Smoking a Pipe First Thing in the Morning

    Being an x-cigarette smoker, I was accustomed to having a nicotine hit first thing in the morning. I know there are other and better ways to get your nicotine fix, but for me, nothing beats that slow relaxed feeling I get from a pipe. Might sound odd to want to start your day that way, but since...

    All Day Tobacco

    When I was working the only bowl, I had was with my morning coffee. After I retired two years ago, I now smoke all day. I don't have a pipe in my mouth 24/7 but am now able to have a bowl throughout the day if I want. Retirement rules.

    All Day Tobacco

    I agree with a tobacco that's fairly mild and doesn't take much attention to smoke. For right now it's Carter Hall.

    All Day Tobacco

    What is your definition of an all-day tobacco and do you have any favorites.

    Cherry Pipe Tobacco by Smoker Friendly

    I appreciate the positive things you said about Smoker’s Pride Cherry Cavendish. I read some fairly negative reviews about it such as it's too wet, would bite, burn, have to be careful, etc. That was I read reviews as I waited for my first order to arrive. When I got my order, not only was it...

    Too Many Drive Like You-know-what.

    Last driving beef. It drives me crazy the ones who wait behind the line at a green traffic light to turn left instead of pulling up so as soon as there's an opportunity they can turn. I've seen some who sit through two lights before turning. Drives me nuts. I guess I'm just too impatient but...

    Too Many Drive Like You-know-what.

    Are saying that they should go the extra block or two, so they don't hold up traffic? Isn't that asking a little too much? I mean that would mean that they would be actually thinking of others, and at the same time actually saving themselves some time. I think your expectations are way too...

    Too Many Drive Like You-know-what.

    It's not just Alabama. They do it here in North Carolina as well. Along the same line is the driver who rushes to pass me then goes maybe a mile, but usually half a mile or less, and needs to turn left on a busy road, where it takes forever for them to turn.

    Too Many Drive Like You-know-what.

    I think there's more wrecks at round abouts because people in the US aren't used to them and don't know how to drive in them. There are a couple of "rules of the road" to navigate them, that most people don't know as well as some common sense that most don't have to use them.

    Question About Posting Reply

    I have an issue that I haven't been able to figure out. If I hit the reply to someone's posts and then decide not to reply, I can't figure out how to back out of it and delete the reply before sending it. Any suggestions?

    Pipe Suddenly Getting Hot

    I first want to thank you all for your suggestions and input. You all had very good points. I believe I have found the main culprit. From what I can remember it started about the time it started to get hot which meant that I had the overhead fans on. Actually, I should have figured this one out...

    Pipe Suddenly Getting Hot

    In the last month or so I've run into my pipe getting hot after the first 5 minutes or so of smoking it. It starts out great, full of flavor then suddenly it's a harsh tongue biting furnace. I started using the breath method a few months ago and that has been working out great. I do it for 90%...
