I am a zippo, for pipers, all the way. Yes, true, it will run out on you. But, it is a nostalgia thing for me. I carry about 2 in my pocket at any one time. John Kelly- Johnkelly55

How To Home Stove Tobacco - Informational Only
Thanks for the reply. I will certainly give this a try. I mentioned the tins because somewhere I read "Haddos" is great once stoved. But, I could see where Virginia Slices would do well... I haven't stoved, but have read about it. I'll pick up some Bullseye and give it a try... John- Johnkelly55

Where Do You Search for Pipes?
I’ve bought quite a few estates in my time - and I have found that when a seller tells u they have completely restored them, well, u learn who to trust. I was talking about one I bought on eBay that was restored and clean and wasn’t. Finally, I got it cleaned up enough- salt treatment, lots of...- Johnkelly55

Pipe Tobacco Packing Techniques/Methods
I have been going with the Fred Hanna approach for a while… grab a pinch, lightly put it in- but leave a small gap in the bottom. Then a smaller pinch, followed by an even smaller pinch. All lightly tapped. I know it is controversial but it works like a charm for me. I am smoking a pipeful...- Johnkelly55
