    Pipe Smoking Best Practices

    Some people are just moist smokers...cant help the drool. But I am so damn happy that this came up in the forum. I sat down and had a smoke with the old man and it was like i was sitting there with him. I need an old coot in my life to help me out with pipe knowledge. This was a big help and...

    Massanutten Magic

    So recently I had an exquisite bowl of Massanutten Magic. It was given to me by some kind of leprechaun or something because it was so good I cant stop thinking about it AND the person that gave it to me has not surfaced again in the recent days for me to ask where it came from. I have been...

    Help Me Choose

    I love my rusticated pipes. I find they smoke a little cooler.... must be something to do with all that extra surface area.

    How Much Is to Much?

    they are quite a different texture.... now that you mention it I probably wont be able to stop thinking about it! with MM's you can get new stems (im sure you were aware) and they are like $0.50. maybe I will swap out a stem if my stems turn to mush!

    How Much Is to Much?

    I also tend to clench quite a bit. that's why my big dutch briers don't see too much action unless I am feeling frisky. But the money I'm willing to spend is not a new pipe at the moment so a $5 cob is excellent for me and the way I tend to smoke.

    New Estate Dunhill--Should I Return?

    not sure what to tell you brother.. I don't have too much experience with estate pipes and briers that have that divot in the bowl. my best guess would be that the brier was/is burnt out. I am sure the old timers here can tell you have to fix that. as far as the tenon goes with some of my...

    How Much Is to Much?

    as someone else said on this form ... if you have an itch scratch it.... or else you are just itchy... I would love that. I need some real world hands on learning. its difficult to learn from video and words alone.

    How Much Is to Much?

    My $5 cob smokes better than some of my $200+ Preben Holmes. Buuuut I do love those chunky danish girls....err freehand pipes I mean.

    How Do You Deal With Heat Waves?

    I fairly new to pipes compared to some on here but with heat generally comes humidity in the summer (well here on the right coast anyway). I have found lately with a hot daytime smoke to have the tobacco dryer due to the humidity in the air. You can see from my other post about wet tobacco and...

    Wet Tobacco Packed Pipe

    So I dried out some Mountain Camp over night for this mornings bowl and it was DRY. Almost to the point of crumbling. It was rough the first half of the bowl. Like a stale old cig! As we got to the middle I’m guessing it pulled some moisture in and was pretty enjoyable. Thanks for the tips! I...
