    Blending from Scratch

    I have a bunch of raw leaf and want to dial in my tastes. I am thinking to strip, shred, case, all the different types individually, then blend the cased ribbons afterwards. I am just using whisky and molasses to case, should I use a different concoction? I wonder if molasses would be too...

    Va-Or’s?

    Unfortunately, I never got to try McClelland’s grand oriental blends. I am looking for virginias tweaked with orientals, or orientals tweaked with virginias. NO LATAKIA PLEASE, honestly given up on the idea of latakia tweaking a virginia. As I write this I am smoking some Laurel Heights...

    Getting best from Virginias in a cob

    I like cobs, i drill them to fit 9mm filters. I love Virginias. I have never got the nuances of Virginias in cobs, like I have in briar. Someone on here once remarked, “Virginias need more moisture in the smoke to fully develop the flavours, cobs smoke too dry for this”. I think that person was...

    9mm filter cob

    I like featherweights, I like 9mm filter pipes, i like cobs. After some thinking on how to have these interests intertwined in the simplest fashion, I ascertained that what i needed was a MM pride, an 11/32 drill bit and a deft hand. A few moments later I was rewarded with the driest coolest...

    Peterson's Irish Oak in a 9mm filter pipe.

    Best smoke in the world. Try it and see if it isn't so. Bye, Bye, harshness. Hello ethereal indescribable 45 minutes.

    Looking for an apple with conical bore

    Well, the title just about sums it up. I am looking for an apple shaped bowl (or anything of a more squat dimension) having a conical bore to it. This shape works well with the tobaccos I like to smoke. Does anyone have suggestions on manufacturers or models that fit this profile. I had a few...

    The aging of Perique

    Smoking some Peterson's Irish Oak lately. Many people do not like this tobacco and speak of it as too cigarettish, ashy, or harsh. Some who like other VaPers cannot stand this blend. This brings me to the question of Perique aging, as Irish Oak is matured for "many years" in oak sherry barrels...

    What is "musty" or "earthy" flavour?

    Where do such flavours come from? Can these be obtained without Latakia or Orientals? Any recommendations for really musty or earthy blends (without the aforementioned tobaccos)?

    Anyone Seen Stanwell Featherweight 243 In These Finishes?

    I would say I am collecting this 243 shape. I am looking for the bamboo, silver banded, black smooth, and the vario. I have heard some people complain about the finish of the red featherweights... anyone have a red 243 they are looking to get rid of?

    Help Finding PM's please.

    I am having a hard time finding the PM's sent to me, they don't seem to be in with my regular messages. Can anyone draw me a map? Thanks a million.

    Will you help a Canadian in need?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone on here might want to help me get a couple of pipes shipped to me. There are a couple of pipes I would like to buy from Pipes&Cigars, but they won't ship to Canada anymore. I thought that if one of you guys have a paypal account, I could pay you for the extra...

    Odd flavour nuances you enjoy... or not.

    This morning I was smoking some Solani Aged Burley Flake in an older, super thick walled MM straight egg. Pencil lead/ graphite was a noticeable component to the flavour, at first it was, "What the hell!", and then it was, "I like it!" I have noticed this flavour before in Sail Yellow and I have...

    Poofiest Pipecleaners (for cobs)?

    Just a general question, which pipecleaners are the bushiest? For a cob I find the standard size to not quite get the job done as I would like. Thanks.

    Who Has a Brigham Chinook Billiard or Canadian?

    Hi, I am thinking about buying either the canadian, or billiard in the chinook line of Brighams. The thing is that the walls of the bowl are coming in just over one quarter inch... pretty thin but then again, that looks similar to a lot of dunhills, but maybe it all comes down to the quality of...

    Attention Dottle Dumpers!

    I am Canadian, I cannot afford to waste dottle at $26.00 a pouch. I just bought two beautiful apple shaped basket pipes(without fills!), with conically bored bowls. Where's the dottle? It doesn't exist anymore! Every last scrap of tobacco is burnt slap up! Also I always had trouble getting a...

    Different Manufacturers of Same Brands?

    Sail Yellow for example, I live in Canada and the SY I get here doesn't match what I hear in a lot of reviews. Anise? Nope, none of that. SY here smells pretty much like pure tobacco. It has interesting tobaccoey flavours that I cannot imagine are coming from a topping, for example a pencil...

    Dumping Ash From Meers

    The inside of my meer is smooth as a baby's bottom...and much drier. When I go to dump my ash, the tobac has no grip on the bowl and that beautifully bullet-shaped remainder of my tobac tumbles out of the bowl with the ash. Help! Edit: Corrected capitalization in title per Rule #9, L.

    Meerschauphobia

    Yep, I had it, until about a week ago... going in the the local b&m, peeping at those meers from the corner of my eye, trying to avoid all those questions in my head, "drop it once and...?", "do real men smoke white pipes?", etc. But I overcame the phobia and shelled out a brown ($100 Canadian)...
