    Long overdue post here!

    Welcome ... even though you've been here, so "welcome" doesn't really work. Stick around, have a good one.

    What are you drinking?

    Just had a bourbon and water (no sugar for iced tea). Now, Cutty Sark, straight up with my after lunch smoke. It's my night off, gotta enjoy it.

    I just try not to think of these things anymore.

    Falling back into cigarettes, the horror!

    I've been post cig withdrawal for weeks and just getting nicotine from pipes, which is a less urgent nic need than cigs. It's also the memory of cigarettes, how they seem so glorious. You know, smoking is very glorious, I just love it maybe not more than sex but far more than women. I've...

    Prince Albert Sealed 16oz Tobacco Tin from 1954

    Just buy it and load a bowl. If nothing else, you'll have the tin as a conversation piece or whatever. Besides, empty Prince cans have household uses with the benefit of looking cooler than coffee cans.

    Need A Bit Of Clarification !

    I smoke until it won't burn anymore. The bottom can taste sort of nice or different by way of being stronger, even if a bit sorry. Hey, there's more tar and nicotine down there. That, gentlemen, is a good thing.

    What do Pipe smokers think about Cigar smokers and viceversa

    Damn right, sir. We gotta stick together, even the cigarette or hookah smokers. I just wish some smokers would dispense with the bull.

    In the category of "best cheap whiskey," I nominate....

    I'd have to say Evan Williams as well. The problem is that its' sweetness becomes gagging once you've been drinking it hard for a good while. Ever hear of Kentuicky Deluxe? That's "KD" to those unfortunates who drink it. Popular among hobos and broke-ass desperados, you might run across...

    He gave up pipes for his wife? That's some kinda crazy ass love.

    Minimum wage pipes

    A guy I work with was asking me about pipe smoking the other night, said he wanted a pipe of his own. I told him about my favorite shop and the Czech pipes I smoke. He thought $30 was some outrageous price for a pipe! I tried to explain it to him, but all he could say was "damn, thirty...

    What do Pipe smokers think about Cigar smokers and viceversa

    About those elitists, it's unfortunate that they seem to give us all a bad name. The smoke truly is and should be just a smoke. This reminds me of when I was a reviewer for an online magazine. In the tastes section, we might have these haughty ***** bragging about what "true cigar smokers"...

    What do Pipe smokers think about Cigar smokers and viceversa

    Cigar smokers are so often just vainglorious *********s about their smoke, as if it gives them license to scoff. True, pipe smokers can be just as bad, but on the whole we're more serious about what we smoke. They may ask "why a pipe?" Well, if you have to ask, you'll never understand the answer.

    The Price Of Tobacco

    Smokey, here's a list of my own we ought to consider. These were my staples when I was dead broke as a fast food worker. Most still are mainstays and have all doubled in price in the past several years. Real wages have not increased, nor have opportunities for employment. Dallas Area Rapid...

    The Price Of Tobacco

    Muddler, clueless: damn right. But, I'll never quit being pissed off about what they're doing to my leaves. It breaks the heart. But, hell, young people are alreay blowing money at the club or the mall or whatever, so they should not be deterred or ever forget that tobacco is more important...

    Falling back into cigarettes, the horror!

    Good one. Pre-loading is a really good idea, it's great to have a pipe ready. I find the cig impulse coming on when I've not been smoking enough pipe ... and I've got a c-store right across the street, and I work at a grocery store. For real nicotine, I use dip at work, just 'cause the...

    Falling back into cigarettes, the horror!

    Confession: I've also been smoking cigarettes for the past week. Revolting, yet nice, but this can't go on. I quit these damn things because they interfere with life as a pipe smoker, the life I love. Right now I'm sucking a cheapie and burning the last of my money in the process. Just...

    Where do you buy your PA and CH?

    Seems odd that you wouldn't be able to find some at a drugstore, but drugstores ain't what they used to be. Those shops are just useless in many cases, but I get my CH from a discount cigarette place. I know of only one place where I can buy a canister (not pouch) of PA in real life (not...

    Glass knick knacks

    Nice to see so many tea drinkers, and I mean real tea drinkers and not those chai/herbal/green froth sipping Starbucks punks. May seem fruity in my region, but tea has been a family tradition to some extent. I've had actual tea parties, my redneck carpenter uncle likes that stuff. We need...
