Pipe room subforum?

Would there be any interest in getting a subforum in the pipe room for pipe tobacco reviews? We have one for cigars of course, but many of us smoke both pipes and cigars.

I feel it would be a solid contribution to helping us spice things up and get more members involved in the pipe room. It would act almost the same as the Cigar review forum, but since it's not on such a large scale, act simply as a subforum for some of us to do reviews and peak other's interest.

I'm just throwing this out there, but it's worth a shot.....

Questions, Comments, Criticism?
 
I'm certainly interested. As someone who's looking to start smoking a pipe - the subforum would make it easy to find reviews on new tobaccos to try. :thumbs:
 
I think it's a good idea. It would organise the pipe section a bit and make it easier to find info on a particular tobacco without searching the whole pipe forum. :thumbs:

Maybe we should wait until there are more reviews before we divide things up? It would make things seem a little more organized, but right now it's pretty easy to find the newer threads. If we develop a nice selection of reviews that get pushed to the second page or something, then it could be very helpful.

For now, a simple post titled with the tobacco name and maybe "A Review" in the subtitle would be enough.

Ultimately it is up to Rod, though. And keep in mind this is CIGAR Pass.

I'm all for anything that will increase traffic (and the number of pipe smokers) to that area. At times I've felt like I was talking to myself in there. :laugh:

I realize that. I'm just saying that the focus of this particular site is cigars and with that it is not at all unexpected to have a dedicated forum for reviews of cigars. The fact that there is a pipe room at all is a bonus as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice and that it's not a good idea. I'm just saying that I really don't feel the traffic in that particular section of Cigar Pass merits the addition of a sub forum at this time. But then again, it's not up to me.

Alan,

That's exactly what I was thinking. There's not a whole lot of traffic in the pipe room, and it's pretty easy to find what you're looking for. There are other cigar forums which have tons of forums/sub-forums (100+ even). It's very cluttered. I want to keep CP simple and easy to navigate.

Jake,

You have a great idea, however I just don't think the traffic is quite there yet. If it becomes more popular, then the first sub-forum we'll create will be a Reviews section for Pipes.

I do appreciate the suggestion.

Thanks,
Rod
 
I saw this thread and agree it would be nice to have the reviews easily accessible through a sub forum, but I also agree it is not yet needed.

I thought of a solution that may work.

One of the members could start a thread linking to all of the reviews, and members could pm links to any new reviews they post to the member who started the thread so the initial thread can be updated. The thread could be stickied so it would be easy to find or it could just be titled something that would be easy to remember for a search.

I think it would be a solution that should work until the Pipe room receives enough traffic to warrant a sub forum.

I also know it could be a pain for someone to have to go through the old posts to find reviews and continuously update the thread whenever new reviews are posted. If you guys approve I would be willing to (unless someone else would like to) go through the old posts and update the thread as new reviews are posted. I know I am not active in the Pipe Room, but I am about to embark on my own trial in piping and plan on searching through the reviews anyway.

Let me know what you guys think.

This is a great solution, and if we could get it pinned it would be even simpler to find.....
...he says even though he has not posted in the Pipe room in a long time.........
