Tips for Lighting and Smoking McClelland Blends
I buy mine in bulk. The flakes mostly for me but the RED is a must have and smokes fine without any special method needed. The flakes I generally cut with a scissors and let stand out on a plate for about 10-15 minutes. Drop them into the bowl and "char light" with a solid smoke anytime. This...- johncorosz

Help Please: First Pipe, Tounge Bite :(
When your new to pipe smoking a lot of things can come into play that cause tongue bite. That said a certain amount of tolerance will need to be built up as well I noticed. After many years I notice that the tongue bite is not an issue even when I smoke like a locomotive and break all the rules...- johncorosz

Free Samples
Has anyone requested samples from anyone else? I sent a request to Peterson twice but got no reply. I also emailed Nording and they responded to my questions regarding churchwarden stems (currently unavailable to order online). Sutliff sent me a sample after two emails of a single 1.5oz. of No.5...- johncorosz

P&C Pipes Pages
Huh' - I guess I don't mind at all. New or old versions. Pricing is the most important thing and I just wish there were more specials on tobacco. Pipe details are great as well and I emailed a few times about getting those listed. But if you wish to save money you got P&C but if you need to hold...- johncorosz

No Smoking in Co-op Building
Depending on where you live and the rental laws in that area they can do to you what they did to me. The girl above me complained about smoke and incense. Finally I got a letter stating they would not renew my lease with no reason given. When I pressed the issue they said "it was a decision they...- johncorosz

My Dreams
Funny, I have not yet had a dream about pipe smoking or smoking general. In fact I have daydreams at work near the end of the day when I have already had 2-4 cigs and I hate the taste but there is no time for a pipe on my breaks. But by 2-4 hours before quitting time all I can do is think about...- johncorosz

Would You Rather...
This is a fun thread to read. It has to come down to needs vs. wants. Anyone smoking briar pipes knows you have to rest the pipe or it can get pretty soggy. I found that having at least 7 pipes keeps me smoking at my normal pace and I can still have a clean pipe to do it from as needed. But I...- johncorosz

Thrift store find
That is just a sweet box! Something that may anger you folks is that I asked 4 different 2nd hand stores if they ever get used pipes or pipe racks in stock. I was told at each store that a pipe rack may get sold but that often they are thrown away WITH THE PIPES STILL IN THEM!!! Each time I...- johncorosz

First Time Smoking in Public
lol - I smoke my pipe where ever and when ever. I have no issues and maybe it's because I am a cigarette smoker. I respect others though. If I got a coffee shop and plan to read and play with the laptop while smoking I always wait until no one is around or if the people around me are smoking...- johncorosz

How come ?
I need a good camera first. The one I have makes everything blurry and I have to find the right lighting each time. My neighbor who is a photographer has a great camera he paid 300 for last year and we found one online, new for around 80 (same camera). It's all digital and I think it's...- johncorosz

Whats your DREAM pipe?
If no one remembers or read the thread I have spoken to Storient about getting a custom pipe for a great price considering what I want. I love big bowls and aromatics. I also love a big old 10.5" churchwarden stem with a bend and also a pipe that is a sitter. So I came up with something that...- johncorosz
