Pearls From PipesMagazine.Com

For me, the best tip is "Don't smoke Night Cap in anything smaller than a 55 gallon drum!" From this Guy...


:worship:

^^^^Gotta love the guy!

Drying tobacco is more than waving your hand over it once before stuffing the pipe....

I don't cast pearls to swine.

Okay, then I'll play. Smoke what you want, when you want and how you want.
Oh and Penzance is manure, but cobs are fantastic. One of those is true.

War Horse Green kills moths.

Buy flakes and fold them.
Stanwells for 20 bucks!

For years I thought internet friendships were impossible. However the ones I made here are valuable and cherished. It’s a fantastic thing.

Someone can always pass a cleaner in a pipe style that someone else can't.
Cheaper pipes smoke worse/as well/ better than expensive pipes.
Almost forgot, cobs smoke better than/worse than every other pipe old, new and yet to be developed.

Bradley can clench a steam locomotive in his jaw... and smoke it too.

Thanks for the pipe re-lighting technique, as I've been shoving the lighter deep into the bowl to trying to turn that soggy dottle into a fine white ash. See, I'm still learning after all these years!

Micro-Mesh pads are the tits for dressing up an oxidized stem.

Pipe smoking raises your IQ (there are even a few of us here on the forum who have nearly reached triple digits).

Anonymous is one of the forum’s most storied members.

Mr. 20000 himself, MSO, and Jesse (sablebrush) told me when I was starting out to;
take your time and enjoy the smoke, everything else will follow
single best piece of advice I've gotten, and I've learned everything from this forum.

That red viriginia can be allergic to some.
How to cube cut a flake.

I am honored to be a pearl, but most days I feel more like Minnie Pearl, ha ha. My only correction would be that instead of saying that it is the "correct method" that it is one that I have found to merely be better, IMO.
And, as far as Pearls that I have discovered on these forums... I could have a whole suit made from the pearls I have gained here. From Kashmir's posts on breath smoking, to Roths posts on using a smaller diameter pipe to pull more flavors and nuances from Virginias, to Pruss's posts on finding these lemon, orange, hay, and herbal notes in Virginias, to Brian's posts on drying tobaccos to crispy to get more flavors from them, to Jimink's posts tempting me to try new tobaccos, and matching my taste profiles to his to see if I could find the same things as him. Then there's the awesome radioshow... I really could go on and on.
Before I got here, I had smoked bags of (what we call) RYO tobaccos in my pipes and hundreds of packs of Captain Black. I had just found The Briary and met Lawrence (who was a moderator here). So, it really was here that I took off from just smoking my pipe to be smoking to quit cigarettes, to smoking my pipe to discover new flavors and pleasure. Plus, I have met dozens of you guys in person, and many I have developed close friendships with. And, I hope to meet many more of you guys and swap stories and tobaccos in person.
Happy smokes! ::

Not smoking War Horse Bar and Condor Plug will lead to erectile dysfunction! :rofl:
