    new pipe smoker with questions.

    I started with Captain Black Gold back in... oh, goodness, 1978. It was my standard until I discovered Three Nuns, and then eventually discovered navy flake.

    Chaplin Mustache in Modern Day Society?

    Fortunately, Stalin didn't ruin the bushier, full mustache. Although lots of porn stars in the seventies tried to do so. (I think there's a reason it's called a pornstache.) I kinda wish the pencil-thin upper lip mustache (think Errol Flynn or Nick Charles) would come back.

    new pipe smoker with questions.

    I would never smoke one of the fruit-flavored aromatics. They burn oddly, leave a sticky messy dottle, and frankly are more like candy than tobacco. My single favorite tobacco is Orlick's Golden Sliced -- a navy flake that is almost honey-like and creamy smooth. When my local supplier is out...

    A Zippo for pipe and cigar smokers

    Brilliant! Thanks for the heads-up on this. I love Zippos, but would never use one on my pipes or cigars. This makes me all kinds of happy. :)

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    Lagavulin when I want peat, Abelour when I don't. (Abelour is the "breakfast Scotch".)
