    Fred Hanna's The Perfect Smoke Now on Kindle

    Wanted to edit, but was too late, so: Stupid mistake on my part, planetary is completely right. I beg your pardon for the confusion!

    Fred Hanna's The Perfect Smoke Now on Kindle

    Just bought the book (on a Kindle Paperwhite), and mine is formatted correctly. Dunno about the Fire though, sorry.

    Un-Carbonated Bowl Question

    If I may, this is the video zack24 was talking about:

    My Apologies for My Misspelling and Poor Sentence Structure.

    I hope you're getting better soon, Harris, all the best, good luck and take care!

    The Aromatic Majority; Who Are They?

    phred Yep, exactly this. I myself smoke them all nowadays, vapers, burleys, aros, and also from time to time a bit latakia. When I go to town in a shop that sells more than just 3 sorts of pouch tobaccos that were sitting on the shelf for probably a few years, (which, sadly, isn't easy where I...

    How Often and Where Do You Smoke

    1-3 bowls a day, almost exclusively indoors. I could smoke everywhere, but tend to smoke in my "smoking room", or mancave, if you will.

    Your Very First Smoke

    Yes, I do remember. I actually don't know why, but I've tried pipe smoking back in 2007. Still own that cheap, but quite well made pipe. First tobacco was Kentucky Bird, I think. Could have been Borkum Riff. Anyways, did everything wrong, and gave up. Completely gave up cigs in 2010, and picked...

    Nicotine .... The Least and the Most

    (I have no affiliation with it, so I hope I'm allowed to post this. Otherwise I apologize and edit/remove it) I would suggest giving www.tobaccoreviews.com a look. Was always a helpful site, but now you can search for certain criteria (Search > Show more search fields... > Avg. Strength ) .

    Zippos That Won't Light

    Yes, I do know this problem, and I also found a solution, that helped me: I've found out that every (new) Zippo, that refused to light, had the same problem: the wick in the cotton runs along one side of the Zippo only, and apparently doesn't get soaked enough. Take out all the cotton, and start...

    Meerschaum Coloring

    Like warren said, patience. Sadly, only thing that really works. It can take decades to fully colour a meer, even with heavy use you shouldn't expect full colour in a mere ( ;-) ) 2 years period.

    What Blend Caught You by Surprise?

    Samuel Gawith Celtic Talisman. Probably like many pipe smokers, I've started pipe smoking back in 2007 with aros. As you can also probably imagine, I've done every mistake there is, and it wasn't enjoyable. About 3 years ago I started (again) to really get into pipe smoking, and got into...

    How To Hold Pipe In Mouth

    Yep, I'm with james80, I also highly prefer half/full bent pipes. There are only 2 pipes in my rotation that are not, and both of them are very light. Another "tip": Don't actually bite heavily on the stem if you can, but try to find a position/tooth, where you can kinda "hang in" the pipe. For...

    Aromatic With a Kick?

    One of my favourites, W.O. Larsen Golden Dream, would be another aro with a (imo medium) kick. The taste changes at the midpoint though, becoming less sweet, and you'll start feeling the nic.

    Looking for Advice..

    I've broken in pipes with thirds and halfbowls, but with modern briar quality I personally also don't think it's necessary anymore. I also just fill the pipe, and smoke it down, just be a bit careful and don't smoke the pipe too hot. Otherwise you'll be fine. For resting, depending on the...

    The Swirl Method

    Lawrence First post on the forum, pipe smoker for a couple of years now, and a long time lurker. I've tried your method several times now, and I must say those bowls where the best I've had in a long time! So good in fact, that I decided to (finally) make a account. And with my first (and...
