Thread: Pipe smoking straight Razor users

[QUOTE=squeezyjohn;668487]I have a couple of straight pipes by Peterson, and I love to smoke Dunhill tobaccos. They're back in the UK which is brilliant news - just bought some new Early Morning Pipe and London Mixture. Also becoming a massive fan of Rattray's Red Raparee.

I'm certainly better with pipes than I am with a straight razor![/QUOTE

Yeh me too! Especially when I try smoke my Peterson and shave at the same time. Lucky you are in the Sates. 50gm of tobacco is around $45 here in Australia.

Alright, there are a couple of you who need to get to posting in the Pipe Of The Day thread and 2 of you who need to get BACK in it......Dylan......Jimmy.....

As long as there is no headshaving involved with this type of pipe...

It's probably made in China and has lead in it...

I also enjoy my pipe smoking sessions. I went to a local tobacco shop the day I turned 18 and got an inexpensive briar. Cannot think of a better way to relax... wait, maybe str8 shaving?

A friend of mine got me a Savinelli about a year or so after and I mainly smoke that one. It is quite nice; has an alligator skin feel to it. Also has a balsa 'filter' in the stem which catches that build up in the bottom of the bowl towards the end of the smoke.

I should post some pics.

Love the Esoterica blends. Penzance is my favorite, but also like And So To Bed. Rattray's Old Gowerie is a favorite too. Got a Nording freehand that's finished nicely with oil from my own hands (rubbing it like you would a strop) and a new Bjarne that's still being broken in. My favorite pipes currently though are my cheap one's. I've had them the longest, so they have a good cake and smoke great. Need to post some Pipe of the Day picks I guess someday.

I noticed that everyone posts their favorite blends on this thread and I thought I would share the place where i get most of my information on different blends.

TobaccoReviews.com - The largest collection of pipe tobacco reviews on the internet

this is also the place where I find new blends and new brands to try. I find that browsing by number of stars combined with number of reviews helps narrow it down to blends that I almost always enjoy.

If it wasn't for the fact the tabacco smoke isn't great for you, I would love to start pipe smoking. I know it is no where near as bad for you as cigarettes, but there is no way I could get that past the wife. Never the less, I love the look of some of the old pipes.

Nick I have been on that site a number of years and enjoy it very much. It is the best for reviews.

For fellow Penzance lovers it's still darn near impossible to get. My friend who owns a pipe shop says they still tell him it will be awhile before they ship anymore. He had two 8 oz bags stuck back but let me have them so I'm set for awhile anyway. That is my favorite tobacco if there is such a thing:-)
I saw an ebay auction asking $79 staring bid for an 8oz bag!!!!
