    PAD Hitting Hard Lately

    I haven’t yet caught the bug in my two years of smoking. I’ve got ~6 non-cobs but smoke one, and never really think about it. It’s nice, and I hope it stays that way.

    Someone Else's Underwear

    Given some of your past posts, puff, I expected you to say you wore your girl’s underwear. I find other people’s socks in my laundry often—I wash at a laundromat—but no underwear yet.

    What Kind of Pipes do you Like and Why?

    I’ve got ~6 non-cobs of different shapes. I’ve been using my sav 904 flambé exclusively for the past months, though. I like it because it’s a good large-side-of-medium size and has a neat shape, elegant but rugged.

    The Strongest Blend You’ve Tried

    Are you retrohaling? 985 is pretty strong, so I’m wondering whether you’re underwhelmed just because you’re not retrohaling. Many of us taste/smell virtually nothing unless we retrohale.

    Glad I Quit Collecting the 904s

    I recently got the flambé 904. I think the shape is a little less bland than that of the pipe in the first pic in the OP. But The curves are indeed less drastic than the old versions. I’ll probably try to get my hands on an older one, since I’m liking even this version

    Finally Taking this Seriously After a Few Years!

    It sounds like you’ve got enough fine advice to make your way. I only suggest you appreciate that this hobby isn’t complicated, and that you should try to enjoy as much as possible the adventure of learning by yourself, through trial and error.

    Enjoying Latakia? Anyone?

    I went from Latakia to VA and now back to Latakia. Englishes with some orientals is what I like.
