    Pipe Shapes/Styles I "Should" Try/Experience

    Interesting, visually I’m not drawn to cherrywood normally, but they tend to be priced lower… might pick one up

    Pipe Shapes/Styles I "Should" Try/Experience

    Aside from what I find aesthetically pleasing to myself, are there certain pipe shapes that one should maybe try for a different smoking experience? I'm not drawn to Church Warden's visually, but curious about the concept that others have mentioned they smoke cooler - but I've also had some say...

    Help Restoring Peterson Rusticated Pipe from the Bay

    I found a used Peterson on ebay I couldn't say no to: Bowl was way more caked than expected - my reamer took care of that - though the bottom of the bowl seems to be hanging onto some extra cake my reamer doesn't want to get to Question 1) Should I pull more cake out, or just getting most of...

    Consensus on What Tobaccos in Types of Pipes?

    Title edited. Consensus is general. Curious if there's any general consensus as to what kind of tobacco blends people will smoke in what type of pipe, eg: briar, meerschaum, cob, ect.... Are there certain things, eg: Virginias are WAY better smoked out of cobs (no idea... just giving sample)...

    Smoking 1/2 Bowl at a Time. Get a Smaller Pipe?

    I've kinda been treating it like my wine, after opening a bottle, I only let it go one night... after that, I toss it. Will try the going beyond and seeing how it tastes. I think I do prefer the hopefulness of packing a full bowl.

    Smoking 1/2 Bowl at a Time. Get a Smaller Pipe?

    Appreciate all the feedback. One piece I wonder about between a half bowl smoked all the way, full bowl smoked half way, or an all around smaller bowl: I read reviews about tobacco - and people will talk about the taste changing through the bowl at the 1/2 way point, or different spots. Do I...

    Smoking 1/2 Bowl at a Time. Get a Smaller Pipe?

    Title edited for caps. Rule 9 -jpm I find myself filling my pipes to the top hoping to make it through a full bowl, but the majority of the time, I’m lucky to make it through half. Curious, would you just pack a half bowl? Buy pipes with small bowls? My pipes aren’t big, I’d go with pretty...
