I like to take my tea from a teacup, rather than my toast...

You spent all day thinkin that one up didn't ya now (snicker)

IMHO, you do not need many pipes to be happy with. But if you are about to smoke tobaccos that are too different from each other, then you should have at least couple of them.

Specially listen to the wise words of Thomas. I wouldn't suggest smoking both Latakia and candy (deeply aromatized) tobaccos in the same pipe. The resulting taste might be interesting, but not the way you expect

Anyways. Early morning pipe after coming home from 24hr shift at work. Hamburger Veermaster (not beermaster) from Oldenkott Skagerrak. Veermaster (not beermaster) is tasty and mild straight VA flake. Somewhat at the same category that blue Capstan.



I've been using my outdoor pipe smoking moments by watching the winter life at the bird feeders i've made for winter. Sometimes you get even unexpected visitors. Surely it's better than watching TV.

My tobbacconist told me either smoke one or the other in a dedicated pipe or else you will get a foul tasting pipe. Sailor, what kind of squirrel is that? It's really cool looking !

I've no idea. We have only these one kind of squirrels.
Specially they are not anti-tobacco squirrels because they do not let my pipe smoking bother their robbing visits to bird feeders.

That's a Finn squirrel... with a mohawk

He needs a little squirrel pipe and maybe a little squirrel beer too.........

Well just for giggles I eMailed Dave at Walker Briar Works just to see how many Nose Warmer Cobs have been sold sence he has started making them... Here is his reply:

"Hi Phil,

It's good to hear from you. I hope all is well with your world.

We have sold 34 Nose Warmers including yours. Not really a barn burner, but a whole bunch more than I ever thought we'd sell. We have a "Long Nose" Warmer now too with a shorter Churchwarden stem. We've actually sold a few of those. :-) Life is good.

I love the praise in the Forums. It's wonderful advertising, but seeing our work being praised "in print" is even better. I love cob pipes with descent stems, and I guess I'm not along. Thank you for your input too, Phil.

Thanks for your email. Take care, and keep on puffin' on them cobs :-)

Regards,

Dave"

I also included a link to this thread so he could run through it to see what us folks have to say...

I still got my nosewarmer mouthpieces and I still smoke a cob on occasion. Nothing wrong with a cob in my book. Matter of fact...I may just get another cob this week. Yeah..so put that in my pipe..and ..smoke it ?? Anyway....go cobs !! wooohooo !!

i think i would be lost without my cobs or my forever stems, and that is the truth.
