The Pretense Was Work

The Pretense Was Work

April 26, 2013 by Ted Swearingen

The pretense was that what I would be doing would involve work But the truth is I went to Morganton, NC to play with pipe tobacco. I work in tobacciana (obviously), and so, technically, it would at least be work related play. See, I've visited Cornell & Diehl a couple of times now. ... Read More

Snickers - My First Tobacco Blend

Snickers - My First Tobacco Blend

February 12, 2013 by Kathryn Mann

When I started pipe smoking, there was a lot I wasn't familiar with. I was just learning about pipes, and was admiring my brand new Savinelli Qandale Churchwarden when I realized that I had no idea what to put in it. Yeah, tobacco, I knew that much, but I didn't realize how many different kinds of pipeweed are out there. ... Read More

As many of you likely know by now, Sykes and I were in Denmark a couple of weeks ago to visit pipe makers, look at pipes, buy pipes, and talk about the current state of pipedom.

When I first arrive in the morning, I'll most often walk down the hall to get a cup of coffee, load my personal pipe with some tobacco (Orlik Golden Sliced recently) and check my emails and a few other sites to see what the news is of the day (with regard to pipes and tobaccos). ... Read More

After smoking a handful of straight Virginia blends almost exclusively since November of last year, my taste buds were finally ready for a change around the end of March. I was hoping this would happen, as the notion of getting locked into a certain style of pipe tobacco for the rest of my smoking days, or even a specific blend, terrifies me. ... Read More

So, if you’ve been keeping up, you’ll know that last week a few of us piled into a car and made a field trip to visit the good folks Cornell & Diehl. I’ve continuously heard rumors about just how nice Craig and Patty Tarlar are, and this is indeed true on a massive scale. ... Read More

The Right Time for a Change

September 19, 2011 by Adam Davidson

For the most part, I'm a Virginia or Virginia/Perique smoker these days and have been for about ten years. When first taking up the briar in college, trips to the local B&M usually took place on a Saturday where there the nice lady, Betsy, would greet me with a smile as I walked in. ... Read More
