Capstan Blue and McClintock Black Cherry purchase
The cherry I'm struggling to keep lit. Dried it for a couple hours and still had a time with it. Got a bowl of the capstan in now, stays lit better for sure.- InWithBothFeet

Tried the Spherical Pipe Screens
Yea, this provides that air pocket that I can't collapse by packing too hard. The article mentions better flavor and I think that might be on point as after I adapted to it, I got more flavor out of the 1Q than I remember getting before.- InWithBothFeet

Capstan Blue and McClintock Black Cherry purchase
Didn't realize both were Mac Baren blends.. In any case, the cherry is 2 years old and the CB is 18 months old. I expected the cherry to be wet or at least damp seeing as it's an aromatic, but it looks to be ready to smoke straight from the can. Both cans smell awesome.- InWithBothFeet

Tried the Spherical Pipe Screens
Yes, these are like the ones pictured above. I smoked some 1Q last night and once I toned down my draw the tobacco seemed to smoke more evenly, less tunneling. As a side note, I was told the 1Q smelled like vanilla ice cream or milk.- InWithBothFeet

Tried the Spherical Pipe Screens
Not the flat ones for the "herb" pipes, but the half spherical ones for tobacco pipes. They completely and utterly changed the way my pipe smokes. The draw is much much more open to the point that my cadence and how hard I puff doesn't work with them. It's like starting over learning how to...- InWithBothFeet

Ordered some McClintock Cherry
Mainly because I loved the John Wayne movie of the same name. We shall see if it lives up to the name.- InWithBothFeet

GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine
Yea, I read about that. Even if you didn't plant their corn, if anyone in your county did, and they cross pollinated, your corn would test positive for their alterations and they would sue you. Can't keep seed corn from last year's crop to plant this year either, that's stealing their...- InWithBothFeet

GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine
I'd like to point out that god created the angel that revolted against him and ended up being the devil. I'm not sure I'd blindly trust his creations. 🤣- InWithBothFeet

Turns Out I Was Packing Too Loose
The feel of the draw depends on the pipe in question. My corncob was free drawing like trying to drink from a firehose. I could probably have used that for a snorkel at the beach if it were long enough. My 9mm filter pipes are completely different animals and start from an empty bowl with a...- InWithBothFeet

Turns Out I Was Packing Too Loose
I tried the frank method but found that how tight it ends up is completely dependent on how big that pinch of tobacco is. Like everything, most of this is by feel and subjective.- InWithBothFeet
