    Turns Out I Was Packing Too Loose

    My only method is put tobacco in the pipe tamp it down and light It. Repeat until goes out tamping it down to level. Tamping pressure is changed how dry the tobacco is and how it’s smoking but it comes like second nature now and I just kind of just do it and smoke with out much more thought...

    Peterson lighter is pretty darn good!

    I’ve read Clipper 7X is a good one so I purchased a can. Just received mine today and my brain is cross wired trying to use it. Being right handed it seems the flint and fuel nozzle are opposite of what I’d like and I feel like I’m having a stroke each time I try to light it with my right hand.

    Aromatics in storage.

    I have a 10 year old 8 oz. can of Hearth & Home Mohawk River that I never bothered to jar up and in its original can with its plastic top. it tastes the same as it did 10 years ago to me when I break it out and smoke it. It’s not Any drier than it was 10 years ago either lol, which is only one...

    Do You Own a Pipe 5” or Less in Length?

    I dunno. 5-8 years ago I too jumped on the stubby bandwagon but my tastes have changed and bought 4 Churchwardens and a couple humungus Peterson Sherlock Holmes pipes Just this month. I guess it’s just my own personal way to fight against the tide.

    Zippo Butane Pipe Lighter Insert

    After trying the thunderbird butane insert for my zippo that failed within a month and also several other $30 + refillable butane lighters that worked for less than a month I just stick to bics and normal fuel zippos. Having some real urges to splurge on a corona old boy in hopes it would last...

    Indiana’s Excise Tax

    I cellared heavily and stopped about 4 years ago. Since then I was living under a rock living out of my comfortable cellar. Well I went for a TAD for the first time since and I was just about knocked over in my chair to find the same tax for Michigan totaling at $64.00 ! That bad news is I...

    Sell Me On Clay Pipes

    Even though my profile photo shows me smoking a clay pipe I've broken far too many of them to be reasonable and I finally just stopped using them - too much hassle in my opinion.

    Thoughts on a Second Pipe

    I've been smoking the elf cobbit for a year. I really like it and it's been going strong with out any problems. I think it's worth a purchase though it is a bit high priced for a corn cob pipe in my opinion. $50 for the Wizard is too much in my opinion. If nobody else were reading this...

    Smoking To The Bottom Of The Bowl

    The best thing to do in my opinion is dump it and move on with life. No matter what you do it’s going to be wet tobacco at the bottom. Even cigarettes smokers don’t smoke their cigarettes down to inhaling a portion of their filters. And cigar smokers don’t eat the last bit of their cigar...

    Typical Pipe Smoking Attire

    Let's just say I don't take a shower using Irish Spring and a splash of cologne, brush my teeth and put on some new duds to increase my smoking pleasure.

    Do you Dump Ash Mid-smoke?

    Yes I do. And I think it is important to do so. I don't have any real answers. If nothing else other than paying attention to what you are doing to find the most pleasure in your smoking experience.

    Meershaum pipes and tonque bite

    I have to agree but no disrespect intended. I have two meerschaums that cost me more that I should have paid for and my wife would probably kill me if she knew how much I did pay for them. After 5 years they still give me problems. The thing is I don't really blame it on the pipe. I blame...

    My IMP Meer

    My IMP meer. Just thought I would post a picture after smoking a bowl and browsing the forum. 2 years old and smoked some what regularly. Have smoked mostly War Horse Bar through it. Finger dirty from tamping ?

    How Much Do You Inhale? (Accidentally)

    I'm originally a tobacco chewer so I have no need to inhale and never do. If I accidentally inhale I cough it up. I understand how difficult it would be not to inhale though. Sometimes I'll ask my wife to take a sip of my pipe and she will inhale with out thinking.
