Is This Normal?
Thank you for your kind words. Once I learned about the breath method it changed my smoking. Finding a pace and cadence made such a difference. I haven't smoked a cigar in months. The subtle flavors of pipe tobacco are a good fit for me. I also am grateful for the community of pipe smokers.- PApiper63

Is This Normal?
Thank you for the quick reply. I have been smoking lots of aromatics and the Northwoods and particularly the Plum Pudding seemed a bit stronger with more of a flavor punch. I really enjoy the aromatics but also enjoyed the richer flavors of the other blends I mentioned. I would like to explore...- PApiper63

Is This Normal?
Title edited. No all caps. See Rule 9. I am a relatively new pipe smoker(about 2 years) but smoked cigars for several years. In the last 2 years I have put many miles on some inexpensive estate pipes. Recently I bought my first new pipe, a large Boswell. I smoked my first bowl in it which was...- PApiper63

PIPE STAND MADE FROM SEASHELLS
We went to the beach and picked up a bunch of seashells. As I looked at them I could visualize a pipe stand. What else would I use them for? People have probably done this before but I am feeling like a great inventor!! Here is my new creation with my brand new Boswell pipe!- PApiper63

Zippo Pipe Lighters...Opinions Please!
I am thoroughly convinced that something in my body chemistry destroys lighters. In the last year, I've bought several pipe lighters and all of them have failed. Of course are mostly joking, but I would like to find something reliable. Admittedly I'm not spending top dollar on the light I have...- PApiper63

What "The Wife" Thinks
I am an older, retired guy and about 6 months ago got intrigued with the idea of pipe smoking. I was drawn to the slow, contemplative nature of the hobby and the link with the past.
