Thread: Pipe of the Day

Although these be the opinions of other pipe smokers, I think these are some great starter videos for new smokers.

Not bad. But I was looking for more of a flavor maybe. I ordered a briar , Borkum honey,orange, ceste le vie, and a cherry I think but it has yet to arive .

Will the other stuff be more Flavorfull?

I've tried most if not all of the BK blends and the Cherry Cav is my go to. Honey and orange are horrible imo. Whiskey is all right, but a bit light in flavour for me. The Cherry can bite if you puff too much. Smoke it gently to get the best out of it.

Its a very candy like room note with a nice light sweet flavour to it. Part of the fun for me anyway is just trying new tobaccos and seeing wether they gel with me or not. Its all about the journey...

Ditto the Lanes 1Q. A great aromatic blend.

Yes and no. Depends on the brand/blend.

About to smoke Tillerman flakes from Oldenkott while watching the most exciting sports there is: Curling (Can-Swe).

God I came so close to buying a straight pipe last night. Would have been about $50.00 after taxes . But, I showed restraint which I know is a dirty word here. Still I will have one one day to round out my modest little collection. Curling heh........ I don't know 'T'....that's a pretty rough sport now what with all those brooms n stuff. Cheers

I have to laugh Sailor...every time I see your straight pipes I think " That's a pretty nice pipe, Id'e smoke that" . Then, when I go down to my local and look at all the straights they have I can never make up my mind and get ultra picky. Go figure I guess.

50 bucks ain't bad price for a new pipe, depending the brand.

Most of my pipes are estate +few i've gotten from good friends. Currently i think i have enough pipes for the rest of my days.
But i have hard times every time Scandinavian pipe club is about to get their annual pipes. I've been restraint this far. Or when visiting Estonia/Latvia with such a ridicuously cheap prices they have down there.
