I think I have the same affliction as you do corncob, it's so hard for me to smoke a brand-new pipe, but they must be smoked! Eventually... one day... maybe next time I smoke...

Thanks, it's on the list. The grain on that 1918 Peterson is gorgeous!

Seeing you talk about cinnamon Rasin French toast so much lately has me craving some, what brand bread are you using?

Thank you. I smoked some of this earlier and it absolutely sucked, like worse than just backwoods cherry straight lol. I will report back if/when I come up with something noteworthy!

My second attempt at pressing tobacco, I was getting fed up with all the pouches I had that I knew I would never get around to smoking again. I would rather smoke something I know I like than endlessly sample different tobaccos. With that said I have decided to consolidate a bunch of my tobaccos...

Sounds like we all got rain today, I'm in the high desert in Oregon so we rarely see the stuff and considering it was 10 degrees this time last week, I'm having a hard time believing it. I love the rain though, so I skipped smoking inside so I could have an excuse to listen to the rain and smoke...

Welcome Presby! This is a very knowledgeable and good group of guys, just don't tell them I said that.

Needed something to shock my taste buds, mission accomplished because I'm definitely looking forward to some English mixture tonight lol. The pipe is a Royal Lancer which I haven't been able to find much info about, it is a sturdy good smoker though.

It actually got above freezing for the first time in 3 weeks, it's 33 now and feels downright balmy. Isn't it weird how quickly a body will adjust to the cold. Pipe is a Medico ranger, I like how neutral the Brylon smokes. I hadn't tried Plum Pudding until a week ago and I can't get enough of it...

Welcome fellow Oregonian!

I want to thank all of you for having this outlook and following through with it. I don't have to tell you how bad those other websites are when you're even just looking for basic information, BoB is truly a respite from what the internet has evolved into.

Thanks for the input everyone. I bid on something cheap to try it out and got some Borkum riff whiskey for $4/pouch! The tobacco is cheaper but it's definitely going to cost me more in the long run lol.

Has anyone used Cigar Bid to buy pipe tobacco? They are selling an 8oz can of Seattle pipe club's Plum Pudding for as low as $24 right now (usually over $50 other places). Naturally they don't have a lot of pipe tobacco, but what they do have sells for ridiculously low prices and as we all know...

Welcome Paidi!

Welcome NamDoc. I also started out sneaking camels, only at 14 instead of 10! That was in 2006 though, so I'm a little younger lol. I'm always amazed when people say they smoked a pipe so young, I could never of had the patience to enjoy it before I reached 30.

As the title says this was the first pipe I ever bought ($20 basket pipe), and the shank cracked after about a month (I had a backup before that happened thankfully). After a while in this hobby, I learned about military mounts and couldn't find any for sale that looked like they actually used a...

Very cool pipe, what model is it?

I feel your pain on that antique store find, all I see when I close my eyes are the perfect condition estate pipes I walked right by when I didn't smoke lol. I have one almost mint-condition yello-bole with the color still in the bowl, but just like with any really nice vintage pipe, I'll never...

I am a big fan of the way the old colored Dr. Grabow dukes and similar bright colored enameled pipes from the 60's-70's look. I am wondering if anyone knows of a decently priced (below $100) line of pipes that has different kinds of colors available? I have searched high and low and can't find...

I was a bartender for a number of years, and we had to play Mariah Carey's Christmas album basically on repeat for a month. Right after Halloween is waaaay too soon for me.
