I just ordered a Boswell pipe this morning...'Weathered Stone Nose-warmer Sitter'.  This is my 2nd Boswell pipe---first ordered back in 2008.  Along with the pipe, I ordered 3 oz each of Boswell's Best, Premium Burley, Christmas Cookie, and PA Dutch Treat.  I've laid off of smoking pipes in...

When I can't drink it, I guess I'll smoke it! Most of the Whiskey blends I've come across are Scotch blends. The only bourbon I've seen is Borkum Riff's Bourbon Whiskey. I've tried a couple different bulk Whiskey blends, but have yet to find my grail. Any recommendations are...

Pipeworks & Wilke Nut Brown Burley. Like you, I'm a big fan of Boswell's Premium Burley as well. Between P&W and Boswell's I get all the tobacco I need to my liking....

Boswell's Premium Burley! Gonna be a consistent buy for me. I owe my discovery of Boswell's to this forum. So many people have spoken fondly of them, I checked it out for myself---glad I did. I will be a return customer for many of their blends. This particular one burned without any...

If you have ever been looking for ballads, poems, or songs about pipe-smoking or simply tobacco--look no further. I stumbled across this website today and thought I would share. It's called "Pipe & Pouch: The Smoker's Own Book of Poetry" and it's about 150 pages of poetry about smoking a...

There’s dozens of pipe makers out there (Dunhill, Savinelli, Bjarne, Peterson, Jirsa, Brebbia…on and on). While browsing through webpages of various pipes, I realized this would be a lot easier if I knew which brands were ‘known’ for certain shapes, styles, or cost thresholds. For example...

Generally speaking, Yes on rotating your pipe if you're smoking frequently. You can get away with smoking the same pipe within 24 hours of your last smoke. It is generally encouraged to rotate your pipes if you’re smoking often, i.e. more than once a day. I think 48 hours is the standard...

I started smoking pipes at age 15, stopped by the time I was 20. Starting smoking cigars in my 20s. I'm 28 now, getting back into pipes again. With that said I'm classified as a 'Noob' since I gave it up for nearly a decade, but am now getting back on the horse! Forgive the ignorance of my...

Those things go quick!!! I was tracking on the new releases being posted today, so the first chance I had to log into today I did. Half of them were already gone! I thought #9 was a beaut.....maybe next time. ???

I've got an APO address too, and have found that most Cigar stores online do in fact ship to APO. I've successfully used "JR Cigar, Cigar International, Cigar.com, and Serious Cigars". CI and Cigar.com got here the quickest for me. I know alot of soldiers over here who have used Thompson's...

Looking for a nice Meerschaum. When I 'Google' it a few sites pop up. There's a few on ebay as well. Any reputable dealers you can direct me to is appreciated. Also, do any vendors take requests and carve custom pipes? I know I can order my own block and get to carvin, but I neither have...

I think it seals well. Since it has a metal lid, it is just constructed differently and doesn't close the same way as my wooden desktops. I guess one test I can do is put the humidity devices inside and monitor for a few days to see if it's dropping drastically. That would be a clear way to...

I just purchased a Craftsman Bench Explorer Travel Humidor. I'm pleased with the purchase but have some questions about it's use as a 'long-term' humi (not to age, just store until smoked). I travel quite a bit and was looking for a travel humi that was cedar lined instead of just the foam...

Well, you FOGs have been right about so much, I should have just listened to you from the start on those ACIDs! I am a Newbie, so forgive me. My mouth has been tainted. Being a Newbie, my palate isn't quite as refined as the rest of you, so I'm still snooping around to acquire 'my' taste. My...

Thanks, I'll do that.

To the veteran smokers out there, I'm classified as a 'newbie', I suppose. I enjoy mild and medium bodied smokes---more on the medium side. I'm still looking around and expanding my 'taste' and am looking for a good sampler pack to expand my horizons. I've encountered dozens of samplers on 4...
