Welcome aboard, Bahnzo! Ever hit Edwards Pipe and Tobacco shop in Denver? (Actually it's in Englewood, on S. Broadway) A very well run, classic pipe and tobacco store, with friendly, knowledgeable staff. If you haven't discovered this gem, you should seriously consider it. Edwards is a quality...

Watch out, Senior innovador, I just may take you up on that. Besides, these days, sneaking around after some wily trouties sounds like way more fun than laboring and suffering my way up the flanks of Chimborazo!

Hope you have a great day!

Welcome to the BoB, innovador! I have always found your part of South America a fascinating region. About ten years ago I almost made an extended expedition to Ecuador/Peru/Bolivia... so I did a lot of research. Ecuador held the most fascination for me -- it is a very interesting and beautiful...

Welcome to the BoB, Chris!

Welcome aboard!

Stanwell gets my vote! But that's probably because I like their shapes/finishes better than Petes and Savs. These are the three biggies, so to speak; any one of them would probably make you happy.

Great post Mark, thank you for sharing!

Haddo's Delight: Super Extra Excellent! A very different, fairly strong, very popular blend. Tasty with a good nic hit, to be certain. Barbary Coast: never tried it, but of course, it's on "the list." Fillmore: an excellent va/per, with just a hint of latakia, as Jack Straw noted. I find this...

Howdy, Frank! Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the BoB!

Well, as my grandfather used to say, "Chin up, little camper!"

Harlock -- love me some AC/DC! Pump some catchy power chords for me... on "11"!

Ya, man! Bus to Beelzebub is kind of a tuff one; but I fully dig on "True Dreams of Wichita". Screenwriters Blues is also a gem; beatnik poetry set to deep house jazz beats. Gotta love the upright bass they incorporate into their post industrial-disconnected-white noise sound canvas. Soul...

Man, some great tune-age listed here... right about now I am grooving on some Soul Coughing. Incredible, innovative 90's band. Four blokes, one on percussion, one on upright bass, the lead singer on guitar, other cat rocking a turntable and keyboards. Difficult to categorize; Mike Doughty, lead...

Yo, foolish, I can dig it. I no longer drink, but I certainly used to be able to appreciate a finely crafted martini. Plus, any drinker worth his salt can appreciate a good lounge scene. Your narrator sounds like just the kind of gent I'd have wanted to sit down in front of. Great poem, thanks...

Very cool -- great post!

Alex has "the look" of a serious pipe man. His future appears bright, full of adventure and discovery and smoking up all the aged goods in your cellar -- Congrats!

Coldest temp I have ever smoked a pipe: -30 degrees F. Don't recommend it though. I have no problem smoking at 10 degrees F or so, I do it pretty often while walking the dog. As long as there is not much of a wind, I'll pretty much smoke in most winter temps. Don't have a lot of choice, as I...

Welcome aboard, whiskeywillow! Irish Oak is very tasty, and it's a great place to start -- the journey is long, but not arduous! Mostly males here, but female pipesters are always welcome! Pull up a chair and chill... By the way, your story about how you came to the pipe is certainly not...
