    Your Experience with Bit Grips/Softy Bits?

    I use them on my out of doors walking pipes they work well also for driving where you can’t really hold the bowl with your hand as I prefer when at home if your over clenching they will let you know without wreaking havoc on your stems

    Hello from El Paso

    I have found captain black to be an easy to find excellent pipe tobacco I prefer the blue myself it’s a light aromatic with a lovely aroma and tastes close to the way it smells . Easy on the tongue too. A little moist on opening but keep it loosely folded it will get just right in a day or two...

    One Light Pipe

    I started a thread “ the relight debate “ and have quite a few takers and have learned a lot . I particularly enjoyed your description of keeping the furnace alive in your pocket . My tamping technique has lightened up and as a result I have far fewer relights . I love the idea that it should be...

    Howdy all

    I have had a wonderful time in these forums and already have learned quite a few things about this great pastime . I live in Boston and have become once again a member of the brotherhood of the briar . The tobacco I smoke regularly is captain black ( blue) as it is easily attainable and I seem...

    The Relight debate

    I have been working on my tamping technique since reading your post . a lighter pack ( I’m only using the weight of my tamper ) to good result. Although , when walking my dog I press a bit harder to get a longer smoke . I learn a lot in these forums

    The Relight debate

    Yes life & pipe smoking suffer these delusions , and the comfort & consolation of a good smoke calms the mind & soul

    The Relight debate

    A clear answer , I will never feel constrained again

    The Relight debate

    I have returned the brotherhood of the Briar once again and there are several things I’ve given thought to that were not considerations in the past . One of these is the question of relighting , pausing perhaps or lightly pulling so lightly the furnace goes out . Other than being in a war zone...

    Smoking Dottle

    I do have some cellared and let it dry a bit . I smoke some Ashton brands also but for the price and availability the black & blue is my go to.But your right to smoke it down to the ash it needs a bit of drying and it has to be a good clean cool pipe . I’ve read some other thumbs up here from...

    Smoking Dottle

    Ah yes tis true , very brand dependent also how many times you’ve loaded the bowl between cleans 2nd or third load and it will bite like a rabid dog A first load with a bowl that’s not hot I’ll smoke down to ash otherwise dump the last bit , Appreciate the advise and commentary, I’m always...
