Anybody check out P&C's blog, talkingtobacco.com? I've found it to be very informative and a fun read, especially Russ Ouellette's articles. The guy is like a walking pipe encyclopedia.

Thank you!
I don't know anyone (flesh and blood) who smokes a pipe. I've had to learn everything from the street corner (puff, bums). My parents are beside themselves with worry.
I've been following the one on Smokingpipes, but I wasn't aware of this one. I'll add this one to my bookmarks. Thanks for posting!Quote:

Tnx for the link, I'll have to check it out. Problem is, whenever I read blogs, reviews, etc., I end up buying even more tobacco that I don't any more of :)

My whole time growing up I knew exactly one (tobacco) pipe smoker, the father of a friend of mine. Now I know several. Is pipe smoking on the rise, or am I just noticing it more?Quote:

As to an increase in pipe smokers, we've noticed an increase among the hobbyist pipe smokers (people who read forums, attend pipe shows, have a rotation of tobaccos and pipes), but a modest decrease among the day-in, day-out smokers who stay with the same blend and don't even know that there's actually a "pipe culture".
