    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    The temps just hit 120F here and I am grateful my wife doesn't mind me smoking inside. Enjoying a nice bowl of Haddo's Delight in my Savinelli blue alligator bent billiard. Hope you all had a nice 4th!

    It just happened.

    Happens to me all the time! Not your fault at all... :) My last order for 'pipe cleaners' was $175! They are really expensive!

    Peterson B42 + Mississippi River RBA

    I just loaded up my Peterson System Spigot B42 with some delicious Mississippi River Rum Barrel Aged. Looking forward to escaping the heat with this!

    Thanks -- I'm right there with you -- I like to see the bowl and I like the flowing curves. That being said, I haven't gone all the way to Oom Paul (yet). :) I am looking forward to breaking in my cob. A nice Meerschaum is at the top of my list to get as a gift from my wife. She said she'd...

    Greetings from Southern California!

    Thanks for the welcome! I am looking forward to adding a Meerschaum to my collection at some point, and the hardwoods also are intriguing. I have nine blending components that I bought to taste-test and help educate my palette. I haven’t tried them yet — been too busy with the already-blended...

    Greetings from Southern California!

    Thanks! And yes — I am definitely an English/Balkan/Oriental fan. Throw in some VaPer, DFK, and Aro’s for variety and I’m there!

    New pipe smoker

    Welcome! I am a new member myself and am enjoying the camaraderie while I learn what pipes and tobacco blends I personally am drawn to.

    Beginning Pipe Collection

    Thanks! I clean them after every smoke (only rarely cleaning the next morning if I've been up smoking late). And to be fair, I am just starting out here. :)

    Greetings from Southern California!

    I've wanted to try 402 Luxury Twist Flake for a while now. Pistachio sounds delicious! Adding that to my list. Kid in a candy store indeed! Thanks for the welcome and the blend recommendations.

    Greetings from Southern California!

    Thanks! I have 49 years to go before I am in range of JimInks. :) Both PAD and TAD are hard to rein in with all the variety out there!

    Greetings from Southern California!

    I’ll keep that in mind when I finally break in my cob. And interesting blends — I’ll have to check some of those out. I haven’t tried any of Sutliff’s aro’s. I have a tin of EMP that I haven’t opened yet.

    Greetings from Southern California!

    I haven’t tried my cob yet — looking forward to that. What blends are in your rotation right now? I understand not wanting to get more right now — I have about 20 blends in my cellar that I haven’t tried yet. It’s hard though when I keep reading the forums and learn about all these wonderful...

    Greetings from Southern California!

    Greetings! I have been a member of PMF for a while now and wanted to join and share with BoB as well. I am a relatively new pipe-smoker, but have jumped into the deep end and love it. My collection includes ten pipes and 54 blends at the moment. It is wonderful to explore all the amazing variety...
