Thanks for the kind consideration to hide your pipe behind your back... some pipe tobacco does smell really nice! I pretty much can tell when someone's smoking a pipe or cigar. I am used to cigars and pipe in the past. Thanks!

In light of my continued attempt to quit smoking cigarettes I find myself at odds with my pipes too.

Considering that. I'm really surprised at how many of these blends have the same look and tin aroma as Balkan Sasieni, a great smoke, but has a very acrid tin aroma.
4 of the tins I ordered were on backorder. After repackaging the ones I got last night, I cancelled the back order. Gonna take me forever to smoke all this.

I don't want to sound like an A$$ but probably will.
For me, I don't need a whole lot of variety once I find something I like.
That's the same with pretty much anything in life.
In regards to this HBT thread and the forum in general. I have my favorites, most people do. We all have two or three pipe tobaccos, 2-3 beer types, same for steak, engine oil, and power saws and anything else for that matter. I seem too always go back to one consistently. Not all the time but enough to make it the old comfortable one.
Doesn't mean the others are not good. I just have my favorites. To each their own.
PS... This is a rant, do what you want. It's what I do...

True dat. I have the same 3 women I keep sleeping with. No point in trying any new poontang. Just don't tell my wife.
Hey Lex990
A decent inexpensive tobacco to try is a Prince Albert one. Found at most drug stores. He has a few blends. You can buy one of them blindly. It will be a nice smoke!
Cheers!

The Cream Ale and Amber ale were fabulous! (it's been written a guy can use that word with out losing his man card when describing beer) Sorry so late to respond.
Spent most of last night working on my brew stand. It's nothing fancy, about 70 bucks in wood. I built it single tier which would have been great if I was all electric but it isn't. It didn't look right.. no flow. So I tore it apart lastnight and redesigned. I'll use a chugger pump to transfer the fluids around.
Does anybody know of a good pipe repair place? I have a Nording 825, apple bowl, straight stem.
Beautiful pipe, smokes really well. I've bit through the stem and there is now a V where my tooth should bite down. I looked up Nording online, they are made in Denmark but I couldn't find their website.
Would really like to have it repaired by the makers but will go with a US guy if he is reputable.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!

Whoa, pipe smokers! I thought I was the only one! (well, me and my older brother)
Awesome, glad you liked them. I really need to follow your example and get back to work on the garage brewery.
Thompson Cigar carries Nording pipes, maybe check and see if they repair or can recommend someone stateside. I know that the owner of Lewis Pipe here in Mpls is certified to repair most any brand. He's an amazing pipemaker, might be worth giving him a call. Some of his and his son's work is displayed on the site I linked, dude's good. They blend some pretty nice smoke there too. I've been loving their B&B and English Supreme.
We just don't seem to have the nice tobacco shops out here in CA. If we do, I haven't found one yet.
my wife and I both quit cigs a few years ago. I still have a pipe from my smoking days but, as far as the wife is concerned, quitting pretty much means no tobacco, at all. So that means no pipe, for me, but there are times, especially if we have a camp fire, that I would love to break it out and enjoy a nice smoke.
Thanks Dan. I checked out his store, very nice! We just don't seem to have the nice tobacco shops out here in CA. If we do, I haven't found one yet..
NordeastBrewer77 said:I am. I looked at the reviews, people were saying they got no doubles and the flaws were minimal. And the pipes look nice. I figure one for the car, a few to sample different smokes and a few for my brewing buddy who's recently taken up smoking on brew days. Can't go wrong for $30.
That's how I feel. Also, heading to Iwan Ries on Sunday. Apparently their main shop is closed but they may have something in the lounge. If you want pictures of any pipes or anything let me know.
