Ziploc Bagging vs. Jarring
Sort of like Agnosticpipe, I smoked for a while about 10 years ago then stopped. I just recently re-started. Unlike Agnosticpipe, I found that the tobacco I had saved in a ziplock bag was perfectly moist and seemed just like the way I left it. I AM a bit anal retentive and I always make sure...- nhbard

Re-lighting question
Here's what is probably a dumb question. HOW do you dump the ash? It seems to me that "dumping" the ash would also dump the tobacco... Another dumb one. Does the ash collect on top of the tobacco, or does it settle underneath?- nhbard

Which Pipes do I Choose?
Hello Sergio, and welcome to the forum. I'm new here too, and a new smoker as well, so consider that when you read my advice.

Problems Smoking Makes Me Want to Quit (UPDATE)
Another new smoker here. I found the advice given here interesting, but confusing based on my own experience. I had a heck of a time getting and staying lit until I did the opposite of what is said here (caveat later - keep reading). When I packed very tight and puffed "like a train" it worked...- nhbard

Yes, as Roth points out, I've figured out the PM. When I first tried i wasn't logged in. Obviously I logged in to send a PM, but then it still didn't give me the option to send the message. I ended up getting out and coming back in, and that seemed to resolve it. I like getting emails because...- nhbard

1) I was wondering if any of you that are clenchers have noticed an effect, or are concerned about a potential effect, on your teeth/bite. 2) Is there a consensus regarding match vs lighter, and if so, are there specific lighters preferred? 3) I've read postings about different woods for pipe...- nhbard

Basic newbie questions
Hello all, I'm sure these questions have been answered to some degree, but I tend to always have follow-up questions, so I figured I'd start at the beginning. I briefly smoked a pipe about 10 years ago, but never developed the habit, so I don't really know HOW to smoke a pipe. For example: it...- nhbard
