    Free Pipe Project

    Yeah, hey. Been smoking a pipe for about 2 weeks on the 25th. I currently have a basket Darvill briar pipe and I just finished my Gawith Hoggarth kendal no. 7 shag. I've decided to delve into English/Balkan blends so I ordered myself some Erinmore balkan mixture. It should be here in a few days...

    Sipping a pipe

    It took me one week and trying the breath smoking technique to finally figure it out. The bowl also stays lit better when sipping and the taste is wonderful.

    Sipping a pipe

    I finally figured what "sipping" a pipe means... I know this sounds weird but I used to be a cigarette smoker and I inhaled smoke into my mouth by using my lungs and not breathing while doing so, not by suction. You are supposed to sip exactly like you are with a drink and breath normally while...

    How much do you smoke?

    Newbie smoker here. It depends on the day for me. I may even go about smoking 3-4 bowls on Sundays and Saturdays, but weekdays I limit myself to 1-2 - one in the morning, one in the evening, when I get back from high school.

    First impressions

    You guys are right. Thanks a bunch. I still have no idea if I got tongue bite or not, but I probably do. My tongue hurts a little.

    First impressions

    Just got my pipe today along with Gawith Hoggart's No7 Aromatic. It's a chocolate scented VA. I used the 3 method to pack my pipe since I got it and have smoked two bowls(just finished the second one). Packing it was quite easy after researching everything for a good few weeks and the draw was...

    Has anyone tried this tobacco blend?

    Has anyone tried the Gawith&Hoggarth Kendal No7 shag blend? I ordered some and it doesn't have many reviews so I'm really curious.

    Once A While I Get An Error

    When I first discovered this site, it started giving me an error that went along these lines: "Forbidden 403 nginx" and I thought the site was restricted to US/UK only so I gave up. Ironically, a few days later I tried again and it worked and so I made an account and started browsing it, but...

    Estate Savinelli pipe

    I'm looking to collect it for now, not smoke out of it, since I'm new to pipe smoking(haven't even had my first smoke yet), but in the future I might smoke out of it. How do I go about restoring it?

    Estate Savinelli pipe

    How would I go about cleaning the stem? Do I just change it completely or clean it with alcohol?

    Estate Savinelli pipe

    I was googling estate pipes in Romania and this came up: http://www.okazii.ro/pipe/pipe/pipa-set-doua-bucati-5-a177427547. The guy is selling a Savinelli pipe and a Chap(never heard of it) pipe for a bargain really. My question to you is whether the pipes are worth the 33 dollars or not.

    "Age Limit" for Pipe Smoking?

    I only quit cigarettes recently, so I still get cravings for them sometimes, but I can pull through them. I'm not really worried though, the cravings are gonna last until I get my pipe.

    "Age Limit" for Pipe Smoking?

    Thanks for all the replies. I'll study the forums carefully so as not to make much mistakes(even if it's more enjoyable when you learn by trial and error).
