    Unburnt Flake Stuck to Walls

    Well this may seem like a silly question/problem. I've recently started to fold and stuff my flakes. I've run in to a problem a few times. The problem is that i'll get half way down the bowl, and realize that the tobacco right against the wall is not getting burnt. Is there a way around this...

    Boxing day?

    Do Americans do Boxing Day?? If you don't know what it is, here is a bit of history. In Britain, it was a custom for tradesmen to collect "Christmas boxes" of money or presents on the first weekday after Christmas as thanks for good service throughout the year. This custom is linked to an older...

    Well f***... (traumatic pipe breakage)

    Well this is a lesson learned. Don't keep the stem out too long. I broke the bit off the stem from my Parker pipe. It wasn't the best smoker I have, but I'm pissed. I did a s/a treatment the other week, trying to deghost it for VA's. Well, left the stem out and went to put it back together, it...

    Just TAD of Plug and Flake

    Well my package finally arrived today, kind of ironic because I called smokingpipes just an hour prior, wondering where my package was, as the USPS tracking said it was in Miami FL since Sept 30th. As I was on the phone, the mail man dropped it off! I've been chasing that perfect blend, and...

    Pipe Performance Plateau

    As i'm smoking my trusty Brigham 184, I came to wonder; Does your pipe performance come to a plateau then starts to go down hill? What I mean is, once your pipe is broken in, sufficient cake etc. Do you notice that the performance goes down at somepoint? Example; body building. As some people...

    So as some of you may or may not know, i recently bought a Mauro Armellini from Lonestar. I tried to find out some history behind the pipe, but he coulden't tell me much about it. Knowing that Mauro passed away around 2004, I was interested to see if this one was made by him. So, i decided...

    Nic heavy aro?

    Do they exist? I'm looking for a heavy nicotine content, but is still an aromatic. I know I don't like lats. I like many of boswells and Macbaren aros, so if there's something similar, I might gravitate towards those. You guys have any suggestions for tasty heavy nic aros? Thanks!
