Title: To fellow pipe smokers
Post by: Pirateleach on September 27, 2009, 10:39:51 AM
I'm always looking for new flavors and aromas to try out. I have been smoking a pipe for 3 years, and love it. i have 4 pipes (2 broke >:(), buy i have a standard handcarved looking pipe and a very long tavern pipe that i mostly have at faire.

So tell me about what flavor and brand you smoke, and your smoking apparatus.

(yes ladies, i just did describe my pipe to you.)

I'm not a regular smoker, but I do like a cig while quaffing an adult beverage.  This is my pipe:

  I've been a pipe smoker for about 12 years now and my favorite pipes are mainly meerschaum churchwardens, bulldogs and rothchilds.  As for my favorite tobacco, I have a local tobacconist nearby who blends some really great stuff for me.  Although I do enjoy a cavendish for their aromatic smoke, I could do without the bite often associated with them.  What I really do enjoy in my pipe is a good burley or an english blend.

It's an eBay find - the bowl is cigarette sized.

For all those in the Houston area, there used to be a chain store called "Pipe Pub". Yes, I know they are now defunct, as far as I can find. But they used to have a tobacco blend called '24K'. I have no idea what was in that blend but it was fantastic, and I was wondering if anyone here remembers that shop, or even that blend, and if you would have any idea where I could obtain more of that tobacco.
