    Does Wall Thickness on a Meerschaum matter ?

    Thanks ! jpmcwjr, here it is: http://www.danishpipeshop.com/product.asp?product=16509#.WSTGVXag9tQ It is actually not quite what I am looking for. I would like a pipe with a wider bowl, but it seems as though there are no wide bowl meerschaums. Are there ?

    Does Wall Thickness on a Meerschaum matter ?

    Hello guys, This is probably an old topic , but I haven't been able to find any info so I thought I'd ask. I have found a meerschaum pipe that I quite like and I am contemplating on it. However, the chamber is 20mm on the inside and 35mm on the outside, which gives it 0.75 cm wall thickness. For...

    A One Blend Man

    " This is what I think being a seasoned pipe smoker is; finding out what you like." There is the truth of it . Very well said indeed.

    A One Blend Man

    " OP: Supposed to? NO. Okay to do so: YES! " Alright, now I see how it could sound a bit wrong. I did not mean it that way. For a lack of a better word, perhaps I should have said " don't seasoned pipe smokers typically...? " . btw guys, it is a bit off- topic but I have just discovered SG...

    A One Blend Man

    Ok, I get it. Nobody smokes one blend only. How about one type of tobacco (e.g english, or vaper or straight burley). Does anybody smoke only one type of tobacco, regardless of the brand ?

    A One Blend Man

    " I can't imagine it, if for no other reason than because I wouldn't want to smoke a Latakia blend either always or never." Funny how different we all are. I am exactly the opposite, I wouldn't be smoking a pipe if Latakia didn't exist.

    A One Blend Man

    I have been wondering, so I thought I'd ask: Isn't a seasoned pipe smoker supposed to smoke one blend only ?

    Pipe Fever, How Do You Survive It?

    I figure the only cure is not having the money really. However, as my collection has been growing I have noticed there are pipes I have not smoked in months ( even years). In the end it all comes down to a handful of pipes which are my favourites and I smoke every day. And those , I think...

    End of Dunhill Tobaccos

    I am worried. No more 965 and NC. And what then ? I am in Europe. You guys, being Americans got nothing to worry about. You got Tons of blends. But here ? Special Latakia Flake is always out of stock. All that is left is SG Squadron and Commonwealth- pricier !! Not good.

    Your opinions on Savinelli 622

    Hello Guys, it's been some time, hope everyone is doing good. I recently got a very nice Savinelli Punto Oro 622 ks. I have smoked it a few times, mostly 965, and my feelings so far are mixed. It has a bowl that is both wide and deep, and I have smoked it both with and without the balsa. It...

    Oh Castello , Castello !

    Hello everybody, after more than 2 years of pipe smoking, having spent countless hours on the internet and having bought no less than 25 pipes ( some cheap and some not so cheap ), I finally crossed the line and bought a brand new Castello. The famous and highly collectible shape 55. I just...

    How many times a day do you smoke?

    That's what happens when you stay at home. If I did not have to go to work, I'd probably go up to7-8 per day.

    Why Is Pipe Smoking Less Popular Now?

    I think it also has a lot to do with fashion. Things change over time and so does fashion. Look at how people dressed in the years you speak of. Everything was different. The things which are envouge today will not be in 50 years from now.
