    Trying to Make My First Pipe

    My wife got me a "man crate" that is a pipe making kit. It has a block of briar and hand tools (saw, files, etc..) pretty cool set. However, I'm not about to try to use their saw to shape a pipe.....I do have a dremel 4000 and think that would be my best tool over the hand tools. My question...

    Problems With MM/C&D Cob

    I bought the recent c&d Carolina gent. The first thing I noticed when I got it and tried to remove the stem to check it out before I smoked it was, I couldn't remove the stem! I had to take pliars to it to remove the stem. Got it in the freezer to see if I can loosen it.

    Tobacco Suggestions for a Beginner

    I echo most of what others say. Out of the group recommended I'd probably start with 1q as opposed to Carter hall. Mac baren 7 seas gold is an excellent starting blend in my opinion and even a lane limited ready rub. Both will have a pleasant aroma as well.
