Wow, it's been a long time since I've been around here! I've been smoking my pipes almost exclusively these days, smoking a cigar only about once a month. It had taken me quite a while to get the hang of smoking a pipe and finding out what tobaccos I enjoy best but man was it worth it...

I really like the "cutty" shape but they don't seem to be all that common in briar form. Link- http://www.aspipes.org/shapes/cutty.html I love Dunhill's take on it as it is very close to the traditional clay version. However, I'm not ready to spend the money on a Dunhill right now. So does...

Anyone know anything about Tom's Private Reserve 1983'? Seems awful pricey, but then again Ebay is a bit crazy. Link- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=006

I am interested in the idea of custom blending my own tobacco. I am a little too new to pipe smoking to have much of an idea of what might taste well together. I was wondering if you guys have come up with any concoctions you really enjoy. Are there any common mixtures that a lot of people...

Sorry to be asking so many questions here on the pipe forum but I'm new to this. I have eight different tobaccos and four of them smell like smoky BBQ. It's kinda strange but I like the taste of them for the most part although it's not something I would want to smoke every day and I doubt I...

I've been smoking a lot of Boswell's Burly and really enjoying it, it's the only Burly I have tried so far and I wanted to pick up a few new ones to try. What do you Burly smokers out there suggest? I've heard C&D makes some good Burly but I'm not sure where to start.

So what would you pipe smokers out there consider the holly grail of pipe tobacco? Being new to this it's hard for me to make out what is highly coveted among aficionados. What would be the equivalent of say, a Cuban Davidoff? Or if that is too hard how about the equivalent of readily...

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

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...

First off hello to those of you who remember me. And in case you were wondering I am still alive. And for those who know me you might remember my fondness for the Pepin cigars. I hadn't smoked too many in the last year however as I have been mostly smoking my favorite Cubans pretty much...

I was sitting there relaxing, smoking a cigar and drinking some wine, go figure, and the musings once again came over me, it just can't be stopped! While smoking a Saint Luis Rey petite corona and drinking some Rosemblum wine I exclaimed, " I love these Cubans regardless of what Moki thinks."...

Sad stuff. Stanislaw Lem died. For those of you who don't know (the vast majority probably) he was a great Polish Sience fiction writer. He actually wrote a vareity of different kinds of things. My favorite of his is Cyberiad. He also wrote Solaris. Some of you may have seen the kinda...

Well I haven't been smoking cigars too long, maybe a little less than two years, so take this with a grain of salt. I have however smoked well over a hundred Cubans and god knows how many NC's, and I have to say the Cubans are way, way, way ahead of the NC's. I know many people believe that...

... and great food! The wife made some fajitas that were out of this world, I'll never understand how she can work such miracles with such common ingredients. So after the wonderful meal I smoked a '98 Fundadore which I received from a most generous brother of this board and matched it with my...

I've travelled around a bit and have been to many breweries. I live in Chicago and am partial to Goose Island (the original in Lincoln Park) but my favorite is Rouge in Newport Oregon. Whats your favorite?

Anyone live near Scottsdale AZ ? I wish I did. Jose Pepin Garcia will be doing a rolling event at Cigar King. Anyone want to pick me up a box? :whistling: http://www.cigarking.com/CigarKing/catalog...ction&linkid=13

I smoked one of my Fundadores form 00 from a five pack I received (thanks, you know who you are). There has been a lot of negative press about Habanos from the year 2000 and I just wanted to say this cigar smoked perfectly. Most of the issues brought up about the cigars from 2000 are mainly...

I'm glad to see how popular the Tatuaje's are becoming lately. I'm rooting for them. They are my favorite NC at the moment and I think they are better than any Fuente products I've had (controversial statement I know!). The Padron serie 26 might be better but not for the price in my opinion...

I bought a box of May 04' Lusitanias last summer. I smoked a couple when I got them and they were pretty good but not as good as I would have liked. I smoked a couple more about a month or two ago and they were pretty tasteless. I guess they are deep into a sick period. I always planned on...

I'm really in love with the LFD line, been smoking a lot of them lately. I've had the Chisel Maduro, El jocko natural, bought a box of the tubo 200 and the Ligero Oscuro natural 300's. These cigars are so good and pretty cheap considering the quality and yummy taste. They make quite a few...
