    Your First Experience With Tobacco

    A basketball teammate of mine gave me Cherry Skoal when I was in 9th grade. Never so sick. I still can’t stand the smell of cherry chewing tobacco, but I can smoke Cult BRM just fine.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2023?***

    Matches860 did a video with an older pouch of Half and Half. Interestingly, it used to use tonquin/coumarin for flavor instead of the current anise/anisette flavor. I wish I could have tried it. It is apparently difficult to get tobacco using tonquin flavor these days.

    Local B&Ms

    If all else fails, Bare Pipe posted a video about removing a stuck Brigham filter. You could probably use a similar method. Gently…

    New Grabow Viking Clean-Up

    Thanks Humble. The freezer for an hour got it loose enough to turn. It’s free!

    New Grabow Viking Clean-Up

    Maybe if I can just find a particularly oily and goopy aromatic it will work the same way.

    New Grabow Viking Clean-Up

    Hello pipe experts. I know one of you can help me. I just bought a Grabow Viking cheap on the Fleabay. One problem - I can’t remove the bowl. I know it is threaded and should unscrew, but I’ve given it what I think is the most force I possibly can without bending the aluminum base and it still...
