    Pipe "Break In"

    Is this actually necessary. I mean this idea that a new pipe should be rested after the first bowl or whatever. Personally I've never done anything like that and I've never had an issue. I've always taken a new pipe out of the box and packed it up and smoked it. And if I like it, I smoke it all...

    Cascadia?

    Is this new ? I ordered some "Vertical Limit" on a whim. Wondering if anyone has tried it. https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipe-tobacco/cascadia/

    MLB Opening Day!

    Opening day today! I have goose bumps. Laying in the beer and chicken wings.

    What?

    This constitutes a fork in the road with each path leading to two very different universes. https://fandomwire.com/al-pacino-rejected-1-15b-action-cult-classic-franchise-forcing-sylvester-stallone-to-play-the-lead-and-make-400m-fortune/

    ES 4th gen Resolution?

    According to SP this is an annual release. I just bought a couple of tins. Just wondering if anyone has tried it. I'm generally impressed by the ES 4th Gen blends that I've tried. https://www.smokingpipes.com/tobacco/by-maker/erik-stokkebye/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=540905

    C&D Shandygaff

    I bought 8 OZ based on reviews. Smoking my first bowl now. So far it seems pretty damn good. Wondering what you all think.

    Disappointing QC

    I have a number of Peterson pipes and all are fantastic. However the new one that I bought had some issues. The stem was impossible to get out unless fresh from the freezer. When I got it out the surface of the part of the stem that goes into the pipe (tenon?) was very rough. Not smooth and...

    Stanwell pipes

    What are your thoughts on Stanwell pipes? I notice that few of the big online retailers carry them. Not sure why not. They have very nice models and seem to be an old respected brand. But it's weird that they are not sold by the places I usually buy new pipes.

    Former's Cross Grain Flake

    Now that I've stocked up (limited to 2 per day on SP) I can confess my love for this stuff. My favorite Vaper by a long shot. It smells like a bakery in the tin. Delicious billowing clouds of smoke. I've gotten 10 tins to keep a stock. It was gone for a long time. And of course I couldn't...

    Riverboat Gambler

    This blend flew right under my radar. I ordered a tin just for the heck of it during the C&D sale at SP. Nice balance between the burley and Virginia. Definitely burley forward but no bite. It has Perique but it's just a hint. I'm not picking much of the Turkish. At least I can't isolate it at...

    Got with the system

    Yes I've succumb to the system. I have no control. Payday comes and I prove unable to resist my impulses.

    Tabac De La Semois?

    Any opinions on this stuff?

    Filled a need

    I didn't have a decent poker shaped pipe. Went for an Estate Savinelli Trevi I'm done. (for now)

    Ercole Bogni

    Anybody ever had one of these? I just bought an Estate. It wasn't too expensive so I gave it a shot.

    Burley lovers, looking for recommendations

    I've recently moved over to the burley side. I've been smoking Haunted Bookshop, C&D Burley Flake #1, Old Joe Kranz and Billy Budd. I have some C&D Pegasus ordered and it should arrive this week. I'm like to hear some additional recommendations. Cheers

    Better to be lucky than good

    I had a couple of jars at the back of my lineup that weren't getting a lot of love. Half a jar of Sutliff Balkan 2 and some brand of Virginia slices. Yup. I rubbed out the Virginia and added them to the Balkan what a difference. Honey sweet. It's honestly good enough that I might do it on...

    Am I Paranoid, or is This Happening?

    First off unfortunately we live in in the people's republic of NY. Generally I buy tobacco online using paypal but the place I generally buy was out of one of my favorite blends so I found another site that had it in stock. I used my card to buy there. And then the next day my card stopped...

    Seen the Light

    Hey all. I'm a long time cigar smoker who has moved to a pipe as a money saver thanks to covid. But being an addictive personality type of course I'm spending more exploring blends than I was on my of standby cigars. Anyway I'm awake early as is my custom and I am on my third strong New Orleans...
