    Scott Taylor Pipes Another Underdog Of The Pipe World

    SO YOUR THE FUCKER THAT OUTBID ME ON THIS PIPE! Damn dude. I am so gutted about this haha. Well, cheers; looks like shes in good hands. Although, it's not necessarily the hands I'd like to see it in (that's what she said? :lol: ) Congrats on the new pipe!

    My First U.S. Pipe

    Snagged this on ebay just a few minutes before the auction ended! It's a Brian Doran pipe, ebay name briarguy, Youtube name Beans316. Now, Brian, from what I've gathered from Youtubers', usually gives a buyer a tamper and a sample of some baccy; which is exactly what I received :D . Although...

    Thunderbird Insert Flame.

    I've had two. My second one did not work for shit. I counted up to 53 strikes of the wheel without a successful ignition. I bought it from my tobacconist, since I am too lazy too wait and they were kind enough to give me a replacement. The second one worked like a dream. Then it slowly degraded...

    A Christmas Present To Myself

    Chris -- the chamber diameter is 7/8" cigrmaster -- I know right?? Haha. I've got another pipe, a Peterson Rosslare, that I have yet to smoke. I am still trying to find the right tobacco to break it with.

    A Christmas Present To Myself

    Steve -- unfortunately I won't be able to smoke it for a few days. Finals and work is leaving me almost no time to break this in, its kind of a deep bowl. It'll easily be an hour+ smoke; for me anyways haha. It's kind of killing me a little inside every time I look at it :lol: But the draw is...

    Bad Nicotine Buzz

    Damn. I guess my only real options are to stay away from high nicotine blends and or do what lordofthepiperings said and build a tolerance because, like I stated in earlier posts, I wasn't on an empty stomach; I had a big lunch and was still full when I went to smoke the Flake. I took my sweet...

    Bad Nicotine Buzz

    Kashmir -- I ate a pretty big lunch a few hours prior. Ragu -- it took me over an hour to smoke the single Flake. I always puff slowly because during my first couple weeks of pipe smoking I burnt my tongue pretty bad; so I've made it a habit to take my time. Warren -- ah, dude, I get such bad...

    Bad Nicotine Buzz

    Howzit Pipers! A little back story: I decided to go and try a second bowl of Dunhill Flake and holy crap did I get the worst case of a nicotine buzz thus far. But, when I tried it the first time, it was after an entire bowl in one of my larger pipes then about 2/3rds of the Flake and I didn't...

    Un-Carbonated Bowl Question

    As the title suggests, I have been looking at the more indie pipe makers and Ive noticed that a lot of them leave their bowls au naturale. So my question is: how do I take care of these bowls? I am the type of person who lightly cleans the bowl with a folded pipe cleaner before I pack my pipe...

    New Pipe

    Thanks for all the positive responses everyone. This pipe really is good quality for the price that I got it for. Looking forward to breaking it in on Saturday. Cheers.

    New Pipe

    Another NPD

    Thanks dude, I suppose quarter bend is much more appropriate haha. I'm also gonna have to look up this Ed James. Anthony, too bad my camera didn't pick it up, but there are little sparkly bits in it when in the right lighting; which I adore.
