I had the Gladiadores and was extremely let down, and a little mad too considering how much they cost. It was an all around bad cigar for me which I never would have expected from Pepin, especially considering this is supposed to be special. I have a couple Lanceros in the humidor and I'm...

Good call on the Magnum Blend, it's my favorite so far of the Boswell blends I received. And thanks for the tips in smoking, I really tried to "sip" the pipes as much as possible today. I smoked a bowl of the Cherry Smash in a corn cob at work and I thought it was pretty good. I let it dry...

Well, certainly don't wait until your one year anniversary with your girlfriend, I doubt she would find the cigar breath romantic. Smoke them when you are really in the mood for a good cigar, forget that special occasion nonsense. :thumbs: -mark

O.K. So some pipe smoking equipment and supplies came to my door today. I've been reading endless information about pipes, tobacco and the art of doing it properly for the last several days and now was my time to experience it all first hand. Well my initial impression was, "this certainly...

Bjarne Nielsen, owner of the Bjarne pipe brand, died Wednesday night from a heart attack at age 66.

I'm gonna try to make it. I was sad I missed it last year. The Brewery is in my home town.

I've said in the past that many Cubans taste very similar to me and that's how the whole Blind taste test thing got started. Unfortunately Moki doesn't seem to buy those "mono-blends" so I did rather poorly. :laugh: Some marcas are distinctly different and are consistently different than the...

I love Bells. I make the trip up to Kalamazoo about once a year. Wish the brewpub had better food though. :whistling:

Check out this link http://agingfaq.nocturne.org/index.php I found it very useful. Advice from the experts.

God, that's awful, really sorry to hear about this. It's really terrible they would stoop so low as to take some of your little boy's toys. I hope they catch the assholes who did it. And I especially hope you and your family are coping o.k. after this. -mark

I am just getting into pipes and I was wondering, what makes the other Wally Frank pipe a "worthless piece of crap"? I'm just wondering because I am looking to start my pipe collection and wondering what characteristics make a pipe a good or bad smoker.

I am different than most here. I don't really consider myself a collector. Once I fill up my two desktop humidors (120count and 30 count) I'm happy and won't buy for quite a while. I do try to age my cigars a bit but there has been a couple times in the last few years that I have run...

I don't at all have any experience in this area but while searching on the web it seems to me the Danish are good for making nice looking freehand pipes. I wonder if they are the best known for that kind of style. These are the pipes I've been most interested in acquiring along with the...

Yes very true. I know a few other pipe smokers and I was hoping if I didn't like one of them they might and I would just give them the rest. I'll deffinately look into some samplers in the future.

I also picked up a few tins of tobacco to try when my pipe comes. I wasn't really sure what to get but I went with Dunhill- Nightcap, Esoterica- Penzance, and McClelland- Frog Morton on the town. Hopefully I will find one of those to my liking. I think I will probably pick up another cob as...

Thanks GRAY GHOST! very helpful :thumbs:

I decided to try pipe smoking. I just ordered a Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman corn cob pipe from Frenchy's. If I enjoy pipe smoking I will buy a nice pipe. Actually the artistry in some of the briars is one of the things attracting me most to the hobby. So on to my question. I have...

A big thanks to Andrew for giving me the opportunity to not only smoke some very fine and rare cigars but to also enlighten me on just how good non Cubans can be and how many misconceptions and prejudices I have attributed to them. Cigars no. 2 and 10 seemed so Cuban to me I was absolutely sure...
