Well now...
If you for one are interested in rinsing out your mustache with something non-alcoholic (it does happen a times), I have found a wonderful listing of tea rooms and other tea vendors around the United States...perhaps other countries, I've been a bit lazy to do a deep search.

This allows you to search for a tea supplier in your general area, I have found it to be VERY useful.
Cheers!

I like that, If it is Scottish than I am sure it is a lot more fun than "walking and chewing gum"  

I wonder if there is a similar word for that?...(has to be, I am sure of it).

I'm all for lunting, myself....yes, an obscure word meaning 'to walk and smoke a pipe'.
Apparently of Scottish derivation.

Smokers are routinely regarded poorly in society and I believe that it stems from the chemicals that are added to the tobacco by the companies, 

Back in the 20th century, I started smoking at the young age of 10 (11 with permission) I used to be a heavy smoker but have not smoked for years.

I turned from cigarettes to cigars and then to pipe, in fact I still have my Meerschaum pipe. I have always appreciated a quality cigar or the warmth a fine tobacco in my pipe. 

Like a lot of things about the Victorian era (and Steampunk) is it is a much slower pace unlike the instant gratification and fast-paced living of today which the world seems to love. 

I like the idea of being patient in all areas of my life and taking things more slowly and enjoy the moment which is what I feel the pipe does and I am sure the Hookah as well) (even tho I have never tried a Hookah)

I have always preferred a pipe. besides enjoying the moment, a good quality tobacco never leaves a bad taste or smell (unless it is smoked wrong) and as the pipe tobacco or quality cigar spreads its natural aroma around the room, it may be enjoyed by all.

I have always have been a pipe man. besides enjoying the moment, a good quality tobacco never leaves a bad taste or smell (unless it is smoked wrong) and as the pipe tobacco or quality cigar spreads its natural aroma around the room, it may be enjoyed by all.

Good eaving all, I have been smoking cigars of and on since 1872 for lighting fuse and injoyment not saying lighting fuse isn't injoyable. I also smoke my hookah that I picked up in Barvaria in 74.  I have been smoking Sweet Killarney of late. Also I have been using my Trench Lighter my son got me, talk about a diffrent experence.

A pipe tobacco blend known as TK-6 which was distributed by Lane Ltd was discontinued due to issues at Lane and their acquisition by another company.  The good news is that TK-6 is now available again through a different distributor - hopefully your local tobacconist can locate it.

I prefer the modern style, never tried the cork

I believe a Mademoiselle Suzette Cherie had introduced herself here, but I do not see her post.  Has it been excised?

Comment by Ryan Grimm on June 29, 2012 at 4:00am

Mr. Latham, do you prefer the old-school pipe stem in a tapered (cork) socket, or the more modern style?  I tend to find the modern style a bit fragile.  I like the idea of pulling the stem to clean the pipe thoroughly, thus prefer the older style.
