Hello everyone ;D I am a beginner pipe smoker,would like to ask few questions
I agree with what everyone else has already said. Smoking a pipe is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable. If you are stressed or worried about how it will affect your health or if you're doing it wrong/having troubles with the pipe, then you may be better off not smoking at all. I really...- macabra11

Peterson 317
Congrats on the 317 min! I just got my first Pete in the mail yesterday (a 309 system) and it ended up being smaller than I expected. I still think it will be a great pipe for me because I like to clench, and this pipe seems to hang just right. So even though your 317 might be smaller than you...- macabra11

Oldie Newbie
First off, welcome to the forum. You'll find there is a wealth of knowledge and guidance. If you have a question, just ask and you won't be disappointed! While it's not considered "sexy" by most, I would recommend getting a Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe. These pipes are cheap, light weight...- macabra11

Last Third of the Bowl
This entire thread makes me feel better about my experiences with the bottom third of the bowl. I thought maybe I was an anomaly! -
Help a newbie pt2. 1st light & problems
Most likely you were smoking a little too fast, but it could also depend on the size of your pipe's bowl and also how you packed it. Did you have to relight a lot or were you puffing hard/fast to keep it lit? You want to sip slooooooowly. Long, deep, slow puffs. Remember, you're not trying to...- macabra11

Hunting: Jackets, Pipes and a Watch
huntertrw: You make a good point about mounting the gun with a pipe in my mouth. Even though I clench on my left side and mount on my right, I believe my left arm would get in the way. Keeping my pipe case and some "Great Outdoors" back at the truck leaves me with something to do while checking...- macabra11

Hunting: Jackets, Pipes and a Watch
This article brings up an interesting topic – smoking while hunting. I would never smoke while hunting big game. To me, it just doesn't make sense. I was in the woods once and could smell cigarette smoke from a LONG ways away. It didn't take me long to spot the two hunters that were both having...- macabra11

Two New(Used) Estates..One Very Interesting
I like the Soren too. A Danish freehand is definitely on my "want list", and it looks like you found a good one for a good price. -
My First Peterson
Well alex, it is all your fault. I got the bug and couldn't resist bidding on a Peterson 309, and I won! It will be my first Pete also... -
My First Peterson
Yeah, we need to see a pic of you smoking it with a big smile on your face. Someday I will own a Peterson and would love to try one of their system pipes on my collection of aros. Happy puffing alex!
