    Read Tiny Fine Print In New Lease.

    A few months ago I moved into a new apartment. On the forth floor I would sit and enjoy my pipe once in a while. A month ago threatening letters were sent by management to renters in my building that they heard someone (maybe they new it was me) was, dare they, smoking. They said they would...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***

    Today I enjoyed a tobacco that I bought back in 2017. It's been sitting in my cellar there since then, called Pebble Cut, from the former tobacco company, MaClelland. Smoked it with my Italian Lorenzetti pipe. The tobacco has really improved since I bought it. When I first got it, it was good...

    Beautiful pipe. Smoking Northwoods from Boswells. Closest taste to Frog Morton which I loved in the past.

    New Lorenenzetti Constantine pipe, used for the first time today.

    Today I used my Bent Egg Lorenenzetti (smooth) for the first time. Made in Italy, It has an option to use a .09 mm filter. I bought "White Elephant" charcoal filters with it. Never used charcoal filters before. Not sure how long an individual filter lasts. How many smokes one gets out of one...

    Been Smoking my pipes since 2014, but still feel like a beginner.

    That's probably what happened, the tobacco was very try and was not sure how much moisture to add. Need learn about rehydrating tobacco.

    Been Smoking my pipes since 2014, but still feel like a beginner.

    There is still for me lot to learn about blends both aromatic and non aromatic. I will always keep learning. When I first began pipe smoking in 2014 I didn't really know what I was doing. I puffed too fast and did not know how to taste with my nose, (retrohale). I bought my first tobacco then...

    Pipe Tobacco Packing Techniques/Methods

    I was wondering if the quality of the smoke and flavor depends at all with the size and demensions of the pipe.

    Escudo

    Not long ago I aquired a tin of Escudo for the first time. The first time I smoked it, (rubbed it out and inserted into bowl) I didn't care for it. The second time I inserted it in its whole coin shape and loved it. Why is that I wonder? Any thoughts?

    Sutcliff Molto Dolce

    When I first started smoking a pipe in 2014 I started with aromatic tobacco and felt that I couldn't taste a thing. One of those tobacco was a very weird tobacco called " French Quarter " (Sutliff). I actually still have some in my cellar but it just sits there. In time I learned how to...
