    1965 Dunhill catalogue

    Too bad the seller does not accept Paypal for International Orders. Confessions of a Pipeman looks quite interesting and so the other catalogs. I recently order using google book search The Pipe Book of Alfred Dunhill. I love antique books about pipes.

    Are there items I can use to cool the smoke intake?

    Very interesting posts. But the more I smoke pipes the more I tend to think that tongue bites has to do more with the properties of the tobacco that with the techniques of smoking. Yes, sure you can always get sore throat if you smoke to fast in a cold weather, but tongue bites seems to be a...

    Beverages That Work Well With the Pipe?

    It sounds fantastic. Yeah, I would have some coffee with my pipe smoking too. If it is strong expresso just to sip it along, all the better!!

    Smoking while reading

    Talking about multitasking, I love pipe smoking, reading and listening some classical musical at very low volume. The only thing, I can do this only very seldomly when the wife and kids are not home. Pipe smoking truly allow you to read very complicated texts. Yes, I could dare reading semiotics...

    Discovering some 60 music...Cream is the greatest

    Reading the biography of Eric Clapton I found he played at a group called Cream. I have heard before about Cream but I never really gave it a try because I thought that was some kind of pop playing group. Man, I couldnt be more wrong!!. I heard every track yesterday of Disraeli Geaks and...

    What do Pipe smokers think about Cigar smokers and viceversa

    I used to be mostly a cigar smoker. But lately I find more practical and easy to smoke pipes than cigars. I still believe cigars have a more intense and authentic natural tobacco taste. However, the cigar demands more from your body and as I grow older I prefer something milder and that requires...

    My first go at buying bulk...

    Thanks for the tip Talrmn. McClelland is really good quality and I am going to give it a try to AM when I can. How much did you pay for it? I havent buy McClelland bulk for quite many years. I suppose prices are much higher now.

    Storing and Opening Jarred Tobacco

    For me there is not alternative. You have to use jars for cellaring pipe tobacco and it seems you are doing a pretty good job at it.

    Smoking habanos in my pipe

    Back in 1996 when I was much younger and audacious, I went to Cuba to get me some cigars. Among the acquisitions I made at that time, there were two boxes of Montecristo A. Monte A was the larger cigar shape that Cuba made at that time. When I tried some the Monte As, the draw was too tight for...

    Smoking in Heavy Wind

    MartinH, the city where I live is very windy and I usually smoke outside (like most of we brothers, we dont have a choice there ;) ). I use a small straight Marxman for smokes at the park and I have to light the pipe behind a wall to cover from the wind. But after the tobacco is burning well...

    Future Shortages.

    Shortage or not shortage, I wont be buying more than I can smoke within a year and only what I can get at reasonable prices. It is unbeliavable how one can fall for those marketing scams. I did fall for them with cigars years ago, I wont make same mistake with pipe tobacco now.

    When you finish a great bowl....

    I also agree with Emerald. It is better to avoid temptation of reloading and better settle with a nice cup of green tea at noon or strong tequila if you are at home and ready to go to bed.

    Cigar Ratings

    I dont believe in CA rating system or any other ranking system for that matter. I dont believe a cigar vitola can consistently deliver the same satisfaction everytime. It usually the satisfaction you get for some kind of cigar would completely vary even for cigars in the same box. So, you would...
