TalkingTobacco.com blog

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!

G.L. Pease has a blog too. I read it once in a while when I have a dull moment.

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?

Thanks for the links
@Bruck I haven't' noticed any increase where I am
@Griz Wouldn't your parents be beside each other with worry? (had to, couldn't help it)

Probably just noticing it more. I knew someone had to be smoking the stuff if I saw multiple stores selling Prince Albert, Borkum Riff, Captain Black, etc., but for some reason I never noticed anyone actually smoking a pipe until I picked it up again myself.

Thanks for mentioning TalkingTobacco. We try to bring a variety of articles to keep things interesting.
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".

Yes, that must be true. But the mystery to me is, I see all that pipe tobacco in pouches and canisters at the drugstores and supermarkets, but I don't remember ever seeing anyone, aside from myself and that's rare, buying any. (?!)

I've checked out the blog more than a couple times. Good stuff and well written!

You're more than most likely correct, no one really buys it.
