    Pipe Smoking Study, It Doesn't Look Good.

    Smoke can physically irritate cells which can lead to cancerous mutations. It's the same for anything that is an irritate. Smoke, petroleum products, alcohol. Heck look at the current lawsuit on talc. Talc is a nonhazardous substance but over time, with overuse, it can be cellular irritate...

    Where to Buy a Meerschaum?

    I've ordered meers directly from Turkey twice. It can take a very long time. One pipe took 4 months to get here. If I order again I'll order from a supplier in the US who has pipes on hand.

    What's the Difference???

    I would say English blends are mixtures of Virginia and Latakia along with other tobaccos like Perique or Orientals. Usually they do not contain added flavoring .

    How Often to Clean Your Pipe

    I lightly clean my pipes after each smoke. I use a pipe cleaner and just a bit Pipemaster's Clean and Cure in the stem and shank. And just lightly brush out the bowl...afterwards I let the pipe rest for a day or two. I've only used the salt and alcohol treatments on estate pipes.

    What are You Eating for Christmas

    My buddy told me today that their family tradition is to have tamales every Christmas eve; they've done that for about 16 years now - since moving back to Texas. We're having BBQ tomorrow.

    What do you think Santa smokes ?

    It would be a tobacco that's sweet to taste and smells like fresh fruit cake or ginger bread.
