    Cleaning Blocked Pipe ?

    I use a hex wrench. Strong, variable sizes, and fairly blunt. The T-handle makes it easy. A twisting motion gives a gentle ream to clear the debris without injuring the pipe. I prefer this over the drill bits which have sharper edges.

    You Just Hate To See This

    I am not even sure why this is considered a problem, or why you would waste good tobacco! Of course I would smoke it!! Didn't you drink out of a garden hose? Go camping? Play with a broken thermometer? Sorry, I am Gen X. As a physician... Uh,Hmmm. Nose pointed toward sky. "Not advisable or...

    Pipe Dedicating Gone Awry

    I attempted to ghost a meer with deer tongue and failed. Smoked 3 tins, maybe I had to do more.

    Ohh God I Just Want To Smoke My Pipe

    That is my exact thought after work each day. I usually do get a bowl in to refocus and gain perspective for the evening.... where I smoke a couple of bowls to relax....and perhaps a bowl before bed. I think I am officially a curmudgeon.

    In Support Of Calabash Pipes

    I love the look, but never found one at a reasonable price. I am still on the hunt, but I am still young.

    Cursed Pipe Won't Smoke

    I also will postulate that the draft hole is too small. I solved the same problem on several pipes by drilling them out, and now they smoke great.

    Ever Do A Taste Off

    What a great idea! I now have a new obsession in pipe smoking. All of us with the palate of a goat love this kind of testing. Makes me feel better about my own abilities. I wonder how well a "super-taster" would perform with pipe tobacco?
