    Olive oil for coloring ?

    Hello folks, Just watched a video on youtube and a gentleman recommends 'painting' extra virgin olive oil on the meerschaum bowl/stem to greatly speed up the coloring process. He reapplies every 6 to 10 bowls. He stated he has used bees wax previously as well but the olive oil was so much...

    Good place to sell or trade pipes ?

    Hello folks. I've accumulated a few pipes I no longer smoke for one reason or the other. The pipes initially sold for $100 to $200. I'd like to either trade them or sell them so I can then purchase something more to my liking. Any suggestions of where I should do business ? thanks.

    Coolest smoking pipes ?

    Hello folks. I'm a fast smoker, very fast and enjoy it that way (three bowls in an hour). But I've come to realize lately I may be creating problems for myself in that at times my lower lip experiences a burn irritation (and lingering tingling) due to the smoke being too hot when it travel thru...

    Rossi 3 mm draw ?

    Hello, I'm used to Savinelli's and typically don't use the filter or the adapter so it's an open draw. I just purchased my first Rossi pipe and it looks like the draw is engineered for 3 mm all the way thru (shaft hole and stem - states 3 mm on box). Haven't smoked it yet but initially it seems...

    thinking of trying a Peterson but ??

    Hello guys. Occasionally the tip area of my tongue gets a little irritated (likely some tongue bite) so I was thinking of giving a Peterson p-lip a try. Hopefully the stem wont be too thick for me to be comfortable with. Guess I wont know till I give it a try but was curious if many found the...

    Bowl coating ?

    Hello folks. I'm considering purchasing a Savinelli pipe that's has the dark (carbon ?) bowl coating. I purchased another non-coated Savinelli that in time has built up a cake layer to the point that it would seem whether a pipe has a coating or not becomes a non-factor. Any opinions on this ...

    Inhaling thru nose while puffing/sipping ?

    Hello, Title expresses my question. Because of my motivation to NOT inhale the smoke, I tend to cease breathing thru my nose while I'm gently puffing in/sipping the pipe. This lack of breathing during the input of smoke seems to be unnatural. Is that standard technique or should one be actually...

    Do you actually TASTE what you're smoking ?

    Hello, Still fairly new at this. I have tried several tobaccos; several OTC'ers and a few purchased at tobacco shops (a few aromatics, OTC burleys, 3 virginias, 2 english). Even got one tin (a Mac Barren Va). Bottom line is I don't seem to be able to taste what I'm smoking. I enjoy the aroma...

    Smoking while driving ?

    Hello, So far I've only been smoking sitting on my front porch but have been mulling over smoking in my car. Curious how many here smoke in their vehicle while driving ? Also are you able to direct the smoke out of the vehicle successfully (without having to inhale it) or does the vehicle become...

    Problem while lighting ?

    Hello guys, I know this may sound like a silly question but it's bothering me and I need to figure out something along these lines. The bottom line is I can't allow the smoke to get too far back in my throat. It irritates my throat and causes me to cough (and cough etc). I've determined as long...

    Liking Virginia's except for ....

    Hello, I've discovered I like Virginia's except for the fact that I can't keep them lit. The constant re-lighting has become quite frustrating and makes for a less than enjoyable experience. I've only tried McClelland's 5100 and 2000 and have the same problem with both. If I go to an OTC burley...
