    Evening Pipes and Sleep

    Last night I was up for hours, slept poorly, and had nightmares. I had enjoyed a large bowl of Royal Yacht after dinner, after having laid off the pipe for a couple of days. I should have smoked something less potent, but that's what I craved. I had slept quite well the previous few nights...

    Storing Tins

    I've sealed all of my Gawith tins in mylar bags, based on the advice I've gleaned from this forum. Are there any other brands that tend to dry out over the years?

    Pipes, cigarettes, and nicotine

    The FDA recently proposed lowering the nicotine content in cigarettes, claiming that nicotine is the addictive element. This comes from todays New York Times: The fact is that most smokers want to quit. For all the industry’s insistence that cigarettes are an emblem of individuality, nearly 70...

    Severe Oxidation- Live With It?

    Please capitalize titles per rule 9. It's easy.-jpm I recently purchased an unsmoked Dunhill 1920's era pipe, with deep green oxidation of the stem. I will not be smoking this pipe. I'd send it off for restoration, but I wouldn't want to have the button and overall shaping compromised due to...

    Nicotine and Addiction

    When I got Covid, I abruptly stopped smoking. There was not a trace of craving or any physical sign of withdrawal that I could detect. So how addictive is nicotine anyway?

    Nostalgia for Vintage Tobacco

    Title edited. Please understand Rule 9! - jpm I think this was raised recently, but I want to revisit it from a slightly different angle. The question is kind of directed towards senior smokers who have some recollection of how fresh tobaccos tasted in previous decades. Is it possible to say...

    MIA (English blends)

    I bring this up every few months, and will continue to do so as the situation evolves or remains the same. For my American compatriots, it has been many months, perhaps over a year since any JF Germain blend graced our domestic shelves. Several theories have been posited, but I suspect that...

    Pipes, rockers, and talk shows

    YouTube fed me this video, featuring Ian Anderson attempting to take an occasional puff on his 3/4 bent pipe, on the David Letterman show, 6/7/82. Not so long ago, but times have certainly changed.

    Smoking Outside the Box

    The title is not mine; its taken from an interesting article from a somewhat unlikely source: http://www.deathmetal.org/lifestyle/smoking-outside-the-box/ Many opinions are expressed here, and at least some of them feel spot-on for me, but your mileage may vary. As for the more factual...

    Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake...

    I just got off the phone with Ernie at Watch City. We were trying to make sense of the current labeling of the most current Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake. Previously there were 'aromatic' and 'scented' versions. These seem to have been supplanted by the current 'Brown A Flake Scented/Aromatic'...

    Too Many Blends, But Too Few Producers?

    It's often been stated that we are in a golden age, in terms of the number of tobacco brands and blends available. Yet, when I look at the backs of my tins, I find the same few parent companies over and over. It seems that there are only a few entities that actually produce the bulk of our pipe...

    Thread Titles

    I'm kind of new to this forum. I notice that we have some thread titles that clearly define the topic to be discussed (specific). We also have some thread titles that look intriguing yet give no real information as to the nature of what is to be discussed (nonspecific). I'm also on other...
