    The Euphoric Smoking Experience

    Two nights ago, in slightly chilly weather but not enough for a coat, I sat underneath a tree in our back yard smoking a pipe and drinking Scotch on the rocks. The pipe was my gigantic Mr. Brog Lumberjack; the tobacco was mere (but delicious) The Best of the Rest; and the Scotch was a...

    Best Of The Rest

    Well, I ordered and received my first purchases of Best of the Rest from Pipes and Cigars (both aromatic and English), so I thought I'd give my take. The price point was spectacular (and on sale), so I had to give them a try. I have yet to smoke the English, but the aromatic is really, really...

    Old Ironsides New Tin

    Wow, this stuff is just so good. It had been a while since I opened a fresh tin, and the aroma was delightful. Surprising VA notes forward. The smoke was luscious, smooth, cool. I feel so fortunate to have three more unopened. Happy Sunday afternoon!

    Three Course Pipe Meal

    This must be strange, but I do it a lot now: I smoke three pipes during a sitting, not finishing any one bowl. Then, the next day, I take up where I left off on each bowl. My current three-course meal is: 1. Old Ironsides 2. Windjammer 3. Smoker's Pride Vanilla (for desert). Anyone else do...

    Taking a Walk with Mr. Brog Lumberjack

    Anyone familiar with Mr. Brog Lumberjack pipe? It is truly enormous. Well, I needed to take my daily walk, and I decided to do so with this pipe - filled with Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired Ready Rubbed. Despite windy weather, it was a great smoke. 45 minutes. No need to re-light. I think I...

    Keeping Tins Fresh

    I just received my Christmas present in the mail: 8 tins! Of course I had to open them! Now to keep them fresh. I have no "cellar." I do have a cigar humidor which likely would fit them all. I am looking for suggestions. I'm sure the tins themselves will provide decently for quite some...

    Fish Tank Bubble-Maker to Smoke a Pipe

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I used to use a fish-tank bubble machine to smoke pipes for me. I can't quite remember how I put it together, but it blew a slow stream of air which I directed into the bowl. Out came a gentle flow of smoke from the bit. I would do this when I...

    Hey All! Smoking Old Ironsides

    Hey! So glad to find this forum. I'm a long-time pipe-smoker; 30 years. With a child I don't get to smoke as much, but I love it. A couple years ago my parents gave me 5 tins of Old Ironsides for Christmas; smoking that tonight. I love the stuff, but I love just about anything. I have...
