BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Anyone smoke a pipe daily?

They are replacement stems made for Missouri Meerschaum Cobs that are made of vulcanite. The cheap acrylic stems that come with MM cobs really only last for a few smokes.

AND they make the smoking experience feel less cheap, and actually let you ENJOY smokinh a cob. IMO...

I nearly picked up one of those today but went with a cob instead. Let me know how they smoke, could be good for a quick beater pipe.
Like...... Oh wait we have a button for that now!Just wanted to post something so chraunke has something else to 'like'
I smoke a pipe more days of the week than not but depends on the schedule, I would everyday if I could but life doesn't give me that much time

If you don't want to go the cob route, get a Dr grabow. My omega that I got for like 25 bucks I think smokes perfect tbh.

I'm less concerned now about what pipe to smoke, and more concerned with what blends to smoke. I don't want anything too sweet and cloying, but the 4 Aces is way to airy and mild. I just don't know how to ask a tobacconer for what I want in the right language. Recommendations for something with a fuller mouthfeel and a decent nic kick?
What have you smoked so far? And what did you think of those so far?

Just the 4 Aces Turkish blend. I smoked some Aromatics back when i was like, 18 or 19, but didn't love them. Too syrupy. I'm looking for something tobacco forward, decent complexity, but i see myself smoking 3-5 bowls a day. Mainly I'm trying to avoid super mild, light blends. I want a bit of a punch in the mouth; spice isn't a bad thing, but fruit flavors or heavy flavoring is a no no.
Look at the votes for ptom (pipe tobacco of the month) a lot of good choices options there, dunhill blends are a great choice, early morning pipe, 965, nightcap, navy rolls they usually burn great
If u want tobacco forward try some gawith and Hoggarth burly based blends or ropes, strong and full flavored like dark birds eye or brown bogie, also there flavored blends are light on the casing IMHO
A lot of it comes down to the style you enjoy Virginia's, va/perique, english/latakia, cigar leaf, burly based etc

Got a couple of rope samples in my newbie pipe trade. Gwaith and hogarth brown bogie and Brown X???? I think. Just got up the nerve to try them and GREAT tobacco flavor.
I will translate what I see. Wait I don't see Pictures....... WE NEED PICTURES!!!!! LOL anyway Back to my other Translation. If you wat Tobacco without flavors and Want a KICK. I would say try some Five Brothers. Right now Pipes and Cigars is buy 4 get 1 free. WOW tell you what. Sit down and Buckle up. Because if you smoke to much your in for more then a Ride. Anyway don't have to do the deal they are like 3.15 for 1.25oz but that is DRY weight. This is DRY and KICKS...

I'll reserve judgement until I try out these English samples, but they have a very distinct pouch note. Reminds my "new to pipe" nose of very fresh Copenhagen long cut. In short, I'm excited, as I'm no stranger to a lip of Cope from years past. When fresh, it's one of the finest tobaccos one can dip, IMHO. Pictures to follow.
