    Pipe Tobacco in Belgrade, Serbia

    Hello! I’m planning on going to Belgrade, Serbia for some time. Maybe there are some Serbs here or some tourists who might be be able to help out. I was wondering, how is the pipe culture in this country? Are there many tobacco brands for sale? If not, do big sites like cupojoe’s or smokingpipes...

    Please Help me Identify this Pipe

    Than Thank you! However, the logo isn’t quite the same, is it? I’ve read about French pipes, Chapuis Comoy or something like that, they also wrote Luxor on their pipes but I’ve found none with a mark like mine

    Please Help me Identify this Pipe

    Edited title. Please capitalize important words. Hello! I have had this pipe for some time and earlier it belonged to my Dad. I always thought it was one of the cheaper, souvenir pipes. However, taking a second look at it recently, I have noticed that it smokes nice, very lightweight and seems...

    New Method of Smoking

    Maybe, it’s the intensity of the smoke? It’s a weird taste if the smoke gets too strong. Somehow, I’m unable to detect flavours doing it your way. I guess everybody kind of has their on thing going on

    New Method of Smoking

    No, actually. I can tell because I don’t get enough nicotine during the process. It all comes out of your nose if you continue breathing until it’s all gone

    New Method of Smoking

    UN Well, into the room really. You should exhale it through your nose eventually

    New Method of Smoking

    Actually, though it’s not quite as common as in the US, some people still smoke pipes in Russia. There’s pipe tobacco in almost every tobacco shop (most of them captain blacks and alsbo) and there are some nice shops, in the downtown of Moscow mostly, with a finer selection.

    New Method of Smoking

    Hello, fellow pipe smokers! In search for a method of smoking that works for me, I have found something satisfactory at last. I thought I would describe it here as it might help someone enjoy their pipe more. So: 1. Draw on your pipe gently. 2. Take it out of your mouth 3. Shut your mouth and...

    Problems with Meerschaum

    You’re right, not the pipe. Now my meerschaum doesn’t get too hot as well, even with aromatics. I guess I figured out how to control the cadence properly

    Relights and Packing Methods

    There are two things I’ve noticed while smoking different tobaccos of different dryness (aros, English, Virginia) out of different pipes (briar, meerschaum). First: relights in most cases coincide with the number of layers you put while packing. Three step method - two relights. Frank’s - one or...

    Problems with Meerschaum

    Update: found a cool way to smoke this pipe. Somehow it’s best when I only clench it with my teeth, don’t hold it with my hand. I used breathing method with an addition of opening my mouth a few times shortly after inhaling with my nose. It was cool, continuous with only a couple relight + there...

    Problems with Meerschaum

    Thank you for replies! Very helpful! Guess I’ll have to learn to smoke slower

    Problems with Meerschaum

    Yeah, it happens. And how fast do you smoke? What’s the optimal interval between draws? I’ve thought about, but if I don’t smoke at my tempo, pipes tend to go out

    Problems with Meerschaum

    I have recently bought a meerschaum pipe. So far, there’s been lots of problems. Firstly, is smokes very hot. I can’t hold it in my hand at all most of the times. Consequently, the tobacco doesn’t taste as good as it should. I mostly taste ash and air. I’m using the same packing and lighting...
