I dabbled with snoking an ivory pipe for a time, but there was just too much maintenance involved.

How so, if I may inquire?
Cool, I googled it, McClelland right? I want to try several, I'll add that to the list.
Never tried flake, would be interesting.My bro had a sample pack from his brother-in-law as a gift. (frogmorton reminded me of lord of the rings, its a town in the shire, at least in the mmorpg
) The blends in the sample pack were named after lord of the rings book chapters. One was "shortcut to mushrooms" and another was "ruins of isengard", he said they are good.
Knob Creek is amazing. One of my favorite bourbons.
One reason I like corncobs is they don't need rested and they don't "ghost" much, meaning they don't hold onto the tastes of different blends you've had in them in the past. Same with clays.
I know what you are saying, but I actually enjoy the "ghost" experience.
It can be nice actually, I agree. Unless you got some bad stuff in there prior. (I think it was captain black "cherry" I tried that tasted like spraying a chemical bathroom freshener in my mouth,
was horrible)I like to get a more straight taste of a blend especially when I first try it out though, but yeah a ghosted briar with a good taste stuck in it is a good thing.

I started smoking pipes last year after a trip to Knight's house for cigars, I was inspired.
I've been trying tobaccos and the few I've settled on liking so far are 'Shortcut to Mushrooms' and 'Ruins of Isengard'. They are from a series of Lord of the Rings named tobaccos by a brand named Just For Him. Yes its a gimmic, but these two are really good. Very earthy, absolutely no bite, I tend to smoke fast I think and these two give me no problems. My brother in law got me a few of the Lord of the Rings series tobaccos, because Im a nerd that way, and those two were good, and the others were really bad
I also like a brand named Boswells, they have two I like, Pensylvania Dutch Treat, a cherry aromatic with 'less' bite. The other is 'No Bite Delite' and as the name says, its an aromatic with no bite at all. It tastes like tootsie rolls in a tobacoo-y way, no kidding.
I dont have any pipes worth mention but for Christmas I got a meerschaum, so I've just gotten started to color that!

Smoked it today with Davidoff flake medallions. Feels like a good pipe, good draw on it.

El Gigante: 18-foot cigar worth $185,000 sold by Westchase dealer
The cigar, nearly 19 feet long and more than 3 feet wide, came in its own carrying case, a 900 pound round wooden crate that looks like an old steam locomotive
Last night, yorzhik and I smoked a couple Gran Reservas by Arturo Fuente. They were fantastic! That and the Samuel Adams Tasman Reds we were drinkiing made for a perfect night by the not so perfect log fire out back.
Sweet
sounds good. I had an Arturo Fuente 858 candela a week ago that rocked. Good brand usually.
Padron only released one cigar in 2012 and it was a very expensive Family Reserve.E. Habano? Say it isn't so!
Padron!
