    It's Been a Good Month for My Cellar.

    Nice haul! Enjoy. And I love the pipe, by the way. I've fixed up a few of those and always promised myself one one of these days.

    Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Fans - Need Your Input

    There's no pretense inside or outside the bowl. There's the cob, the tobacco, and the smoker. It may not be the most efficient or prettiest smoker, but I'm certain that, with my cob, I'll get a true impression of the tobacco from first light.

    Let's Make Fun Of Dunhill

    Insofar as parody for parody's sake is concerned, that was a good read. Thanks for posting it.

    Kashmir is an Inspiration

    That's a fantastic looking pipe. I'm sure it will smoke well.

    Meer Question

    With my first meer, an old acquaintance recommended that I handle it with a cloth the first two or three times I smoked it. This was to avoid unwanted marks or stains. Now that I have several (having forgotten about the cloth), I'm not sure it matters if one is careful.

    Really High Humidity!

    Another New Orleanian! Welcome to the forums. I don't have any special techniques for drying out tobacco, other than using a paper towel to soak up excess moisture before I smoke. We keep our house in the mid-70s and, thankfully, not much moisture makes it inside. I do keep my tobacco in a...

    First Attempt At Removing Oxidation From Vulcanite

    Excellent job on the stem! And with Chapstick, I get the unflavored sort, apply a coat to the entire stem, leave it on for a few minutes and buff it off.

    What NOT to Drink While Smoking

    I avoid cold carbonated drinks while smoking my pipe. For some reason, the combination of the two makes my tongue feel like it's on fire.

    Dud Pipe - Or am I Being Stupid?

    I have a friend that ordered a pipe from that exact maker. The problem is (if it is, as I'm thinking, the same pipe) the metal bowl is an insert and it's a decent height above the draft hole. Moisture and tobacco casing drains to the bottom, leaving the good stuff up top, and forming a...

    Total Noob Question on Wax...

    I wouldn't recommend using carnuba from a can. I experimented with it once and the results were less than pleasing. The reasoning is this: the form of carnuba we're talking about is a moist wax. It's meant to go on and be wiped off materials that are less porous than wood. Some may use it to...

    A Question About MM Cobs

    Like all pipes, it varies from model to model; perhaps a bit more with cobs. I always test the draw on a cob as I fill, just to make sure.

    Your "Go-To" Blends

    I always try new tobaccos! Even the ones I don't care for get cellared to try at a later date. But I do tend to keep a bit of Lane's 1Q on hand. It's a good tobacco I can smoke out of my cobs while working, saving my tinned tobaccos for evening when I can sit and appreciate them.

    No Soliciting (NSFW)

    I think so. There was obviously a rock in the cave that he had claimed for himself and you stepped on it. Watch out or big flash of light from sky will strike you!
