    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

    G. L. Pease Blackpoint in this Savinelli Noce 320. It's been a heck of a week and this is my therapy today.

    That might be the most striking resemblance to my 4th grade teacher I've ever seen!

    How to Re-Hydrate Pipe Tobacco

    I never did follow up on my Rattray's rehydration. It took a some time for sure, but it worked eventually. I certainly won't try to hydrate that much tobacco in one bowl again though. I think it took nearly a week and a half to make any progress.

    Forum Notice: Two Changes in Moderation on Your Postings

    Personally, I think it should be a matter of preference, as I've always believed. When a new member posts a question and we answer, "use the search function," it comes off as rude and uninviting to the new member. If you don't want to answer, simply scroll down. I would rather someone ask a...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

    I'm nearly finishing my first ever smoke of C&D's Gentleman Caller which is also my first ever smoke of a blend containing deer tongue. It is my second smoke in the new Ser Jacopo which I was planning on designating to C&D's Miskatonic (also a brand new blend for me). I'll probably still do...

    Damage to Exterior - Repair and Advice

    Was it a new pipe? Looks like perhaps the stain didn't set properly and rubbed off.

    What's Your Favorite Current Factory Model Straight Billiard?

    I'm pretty partial to the Peterson 106. I also really like the 107(not pictured), although I have only one of those. Great smokers.
