    new Calabash pipe and questions

    I wasn't clear enough for the pipe cleaner part, i meant the wooden bowl chamber not the meerschaum bowl! Thanks for the tips Bob! :puffpipe: Haha yes! Truly noble pipe! I felt somehow noble-ish when i smoked it! though the bowl ended before i expected it !

    Falcon filters & rings

    For the first time i used a falcon filter and a dry-ring on a briar peterson pipe, i found that it smoked smoother! Has any of you done that or am i just a weird person experimenting with my pipes? Haha :puffpipe:

    Bad Pipe Experience?

    Bad pipes for me are New-Old-Stocks that smell like mold and need a good scraping and alcohol cleaning before you even try to put them in your mouth! Also some pipes with that carbon coating inside that taste like bitter superglue when smoked, so i scrape them clean every time! Also most of...

    Falcon Pipes Question

    It's true, Falcon seems to make almost every blend smoke nicer! I'm on a hunt for bowls now though, i had 2 but unfortunately my meerschaum bowl broke :? I may get the hyperbole cause i like big bowls when i sit around at home.

    Hello, hope you all enjoyed your international pipe smoking day! Anyway, i used to really hate falcon pipes (as many of you stated in other topics) because of their looks, but this year my father gave me a falcon pipe as a gift, when i saw it in person it actually looked interesting, now i got...

    Cheap Pipes... (?)

    What's up with the Yello-bole and Medico pipes? To be honest i would not trust a 15 dollar pipe... But i did not trust cobs at first cause of their price but they smoke heavenly after all!

    Cheap Pipes... (?)

    I hate bowl coating.. I use my pipe scraper to remove that nasty stuff from a new pipe before i smoke it.

    Cheap Pipes... (?)

    Hello, I recently browsed Pipesandcigars and found a really great looking pipe i will buy, anyway i checked the "under 50$" category and found sum descent looking pipes there, but i never had a pipe like Dr. Grabow or Kaywoodie e.t.c... Anyone tried those? I was thinking of adding one of them to...

    Grandpa's tip

    "I do recall my grandfather using his Barlow pocket knife to both pack his pipe down using the knife closed, and using the small blade to scrape it out now and again." My grandpa did this too with a knife-like pipe-tool, he used to scrape it like a mad man to the point chunks of black wood...

    Grandpa's tip
