Any Pipe Smokers?

[RogueRadio]

Any good smokes recently? I've been trying the Deep Hollow and Grey Havens from McClelland, both excellent. Deep Hollow is a rich chocolatey smoke, while Grey Havens is a bitter sweet complex but relaxing smoke. Also, I have been loving Navy Flake from Mac Barens, very nice, thick smoke with hints of honey and a soothing aroma

I used to and my favorite was Gordon Bennett from a now sadly defunct centuries old tobacconist;it's also now defunct as well, as it was made in zimbabwe. Creamy with a hint of vanilla yet with serious body at the same time. Ahm puffing nicorette inhalators now, which have more than a hint of menthol but nowt else.

It-Gordon Bennett- also had hazelenut, caramel, a trace of blackcurrant and a stabilising woodyness to counterbalance the cream and vanilla.

I've been known to pick up a pipe on rare occasion. My local shop carries all custom blends.

My daily work pipe is a Falcon because they can be disassembled to clean, and can take a real beating. Got machine oil on your hands while working on the lathe? No problem with a metal stemmed pipe--just wipe 'em off and keep going. A nice briar or Meershaum just gets banged up and are better suited for leisurely enjoyment in my opinion.

if you like an aromatic, Lane's 1Q is claimed to be the best selling in the US.
i like the 1Q best in a cob.. my preferred briar pipes are Peterson and Savinelli.

I like the Navy Flake myself.
I always carry 2 pipes for rotation purpose!

Cold weather is here. Now is the time to break out the nose warmer!

I keep contemplating a pipe, but then I see the prices and since I have no idea if I will like it I just keep passing it up. I need to just take the plunge as it always smells wonderful.

Pipe tobacco is almost free over the net. compared to cigars.

Buy a great pipe and you will have it forever. A cheap pipe and you will upgrade in 45 days. Then you purchased two!

Larry Roush makes the best pipes that you actually have a chance to purchase. Get on his list. You have about 2 minutes when he send his emails out. He is considered one of the best pipe makers alive, by some..
