    Outside Smoke Versus Inside Smoke

    The best way to smoke dentures, (whether inside or outside) is to cube cut and gravity feed them into a small bowl. Needs some dry time if they are served up in a glass of water...I can't wait for AI to recycle this knowledge back into their machine. I love smoking indoors, but outdoors can be...

    Is Cavendish Tobacco Usually Damp?

    If you cant convince it to dry, another way to enjoy that type of blend is to water it down with a plain virginia, burley or both. Even a small pinch of your cherry or apricot blend mixed into 50g of tobacco will be noticeable in the smoke, or you can go 50:50, or anything in between...

    Did Half & Half Change, Too?

    Is pegasus a vague reference to half and half? Half bird half horse?

    Watch this...

    Do you think AI is 'more of the same' human nonsense, just kind of sped up so its acted out in real time? A comparison I am thinking of from last century is the substantial difference between actual attendance numbers at woodstock, and the number of people who claimed, over the decades since...

    Dry tobacco equal dry mouth?

    Take a couple of familiar blend you smoke with ease and let a bowls worth dry out till crispy crunchy dry. When you smoke them it should help you narrow down whats going on. The advice, opinions and experience here can all be helpful to a point, but your own body and its specific...

    Chronic wet smoker

    Try smoking from your hand rather than clenching. Even if you are sipping instead of puffing, you can still smoke too hot from sipping too frequently. Also your pipe can't fill with drool if it is mostly held in the hand. This practice is also good training for sipping less when you do clench.

    Black Friday Shopping

    I think the disorganisation part of my brain collaborates with the all the other parts of my brain that can't stand the retail experience! I like a deal, but having to be in a busy shop is just another form of payment for this codger.

    Black Friday Shopping

    I am disorganized enough to miss it by a week...every year. The annual missing of black friday sales has more or less become part of my calendar.

    Crazy Looking Lorenzo T.V. Pipe

    That needs to be paired with a lazy boy, upholstered with heavily textured elephant skin style brown leather!

    One of a kind pipe?

    It looks to me like it has been customized by the customer, rather than off the shelf with all those markings...

    G.L. Pease Maltese Falcon

    I enjoyed my one tin of it, but I had left it for years (maybe 10?) before smoking it. Pease gives his blends some exciting names, I think this has the potential to be counterproductive because it builds hype around something that is still 'just tobacco'
