Churchwarden recommendations?
what's your budget on this? Just look at churchwardens on the sites that sell pipes till you see one you think he'd love. Then decide if you want to spend that amount on the gift or not. Most of the ones that you can buy on these sites are going to be decent pipes. Though if he's a lord of the...- anotherbob

Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people
That's just silly. Don't you know what happens when people war with birds. The birds win. You're suggesting kicking a hornets nest. And then if the swans find out what we're doing, you don't even want to know how that will go. Seriously dude. Ask our friends at the bottom of the world. The...- anotherbob

It's too not top down on this one. It's a lot more organic and human nature. And if there is any conspiracy it's that the perfume industry buys a lot of tobacco. It's in a lot of perfumes like an insanely high amount of them. So if anyone sneaky bastard is trying to get all the good leaf for...- anotherbob

Major Mess-up
I always said that I was showing those kids solidarity. And that me stuffing myself would just be salt in their wounds. Of course that didn't go over well, even if they had to admit I had a point.- anotherbob

Major Mess-up
I know how dare they read the market and cater to keeping their doors open. I know I'd rather have them stick to their guns and be a relic of the past, then to have them change their mind and say hey if people are going to use our product how they see fit might as well go with it. I mean how...- anotherbob

Major Mess-up
honestly I am shocked that no one has come in here to say you made the mess up when you got the cob. Anyone able to check on some of our favorite codgers? Just make sure they're o.k.. Though this fits in the category of you live and learn. Be a little nicer to your cobs, and avoid minor...- anotherbob

Chronic wet smoker
One of my older pipes is a falcon regular stem and a meer lined brandy hyperbole, and size is sadly small. 30 minute smoke 45 if a flake. The thing smokes great and is a real bite killer.- anotherbob

Add a meer or meerlined bowl to that and you'll get the driest smoke possible. In fact it might just be dust. :)- anotherbob

Chronic wet smoker
truth in the whole just keep at it and it should get better. A lot of my biggest tricks came from experience and not from anyone telling me what to do. Just noticing when a smoke is better or just getting to a point where I don't have to think about how I do things and just do them.- anotherbob

Chronic wet smoker
That's the goal. That's a quite decent amount of dottle. Seriously there are people who have smoked for years who wish they could get that instead of the more they end up with. In fact I've been called a liar for saying I have around that much left after a smoke.- anotherbob

Chronic wet smoker
sorry if someone else asked? But how much moisture and how much dottle. A tiny bit is totally normal. Half way down the chamber being too wet to smoke is super extreme. So I guess what levels are we talking. It might just be totally normal.- anotherbob
