For the new pipe smoker who is just getting started, there can be a ton of barriers to entry that some of the more seasoned among us take for granted. Decision fatigue, trust, and the overwhelming amount of information out there are just a few of the topics we address in this week's Pipe Smoking 101.

A pipe is the perfect complement to a good meal and a good drink is the kind companion to a good pipe. But these days there are so many options to pull from when walking down your local package store. Here we pair beverages with pipe tobacco to find an ideal combination to enhance the enjoyment of both. This week: Jack Daniels & The Manhattan Pipe Question: I bought my latest batch of Chestnut in the 14oz tub. I know that old drugstore blends often come in such tubs. Will that keep my tobacc...

Pipe Question: I've been enjoying some of the so-called "American English" blends lately, which I understand to be primarily burley-based, but with a bit of latakia added. Right now I've really been digging on Russ Ouellette's Chestnut blend, a match for the now-defunct Walnut of blessed memory. Any other suggestions for good "American English" blends, perhaps something tinned? - Fr. Isaac Quickfire Questions: What kind of instrument do you most enjoy listening to? Violin, Drums, Piano, or Trump...
