Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco
Plus 1 for a deep clean. I have the same issue if I don't deep clean my pipes.- Sacred_summit

Hit the Motherload!
I should try chewing the rope! Do you just place it in your lip or actually chew a little? I'm almost done the rustica, it's been my favorite.- Sacred_summit

Hit the Motherload!
Earlier this month, I placed an order for the highest nicotine blends based on countless readings throughout this forum. Yesterday, it all arrived! The ropes are particularly unique. It's hard to describe the flavor. War Horse Bar gave me the biggest nicotine kick. I was surprised since I have...- Sacred_summit

How to Prepare Rope and Twist Pipe Tobacco
I'm smoking my first rope now. I never considered doing a search on how to prep. I used my knife and cut off a few coin pieces, rubbed it out and it's smoking great! Super complex and unique flavor. I'm smoking Black Irish Twist.- Sacred_summit

Instant Oxidation?
Butcher block oil is a combination of mineral oil, carnauba wax, and beeswax. It sounds like my suspicions were correct. It had started to oxidize, and I merely covered it up as you said. I'll sand it down to remove the oxidation and then reapply a few coats of the conditioner and see how it...- Sacred_summit

Instant Oxidation?
Yesterday, I picked up a standard system Peterson 314. It has a vulcanite stem (which I prefer). I could tell by the way it looked that the moment it saw light or saliva, it would oxidize. So, before I smoked it, I lathered it with my butcher block conditioner and let it sit overnight. Halfway...- Sacred_summit

Sandblast or Rustication?
Hello everyone, this has been an insightful thread to read. I have read several threads now comparing rusticated versus sandblasted Petersons to better understand their differences. I still have my initial question regarding the performance of a sandblasted versus rusticated Peterson. Does one...- Sacred_summit

Too Hot & Goes Out
I have observed that my deluxe 307 pipe experiences significant hot spot issues, which is unexpected given its substantial size. It appears that the tobacco does not combust evenly, resulting in one side of the bowl becoming excessively hot. The priming and lighting processes seem more...- Sacred_summit

Too Hot & Goes Out
Hey, I really like this! I've found that packing a pipe loosely (if you're thinking, man; I packed this way to lose) is best when breath smoking. Contrary to a lot of sources I've read, packing a pipe looser than you'd think can allow for an effortless, enjoyable smoke. A caveat: a super...- Sacred_summit

Help! Which Stem for Which Pipe?...
LOL. Uncle Buck was one of my favorite movies growing up as a kid. I want to thank everybody for their help. To the poster above, sadly I moved my stems after I took that photo. I wasn't able to figure out which stem was which from the photo I took, so I couldn't use your post stating which...- Sacred_summit

Help! Which Stem for Which Pipe?...
It's a combination of mineral oil, carnuba wax and bees wax. I lather it on my stem after every smoke and it rests for a day or two before I buff it off with a micro fiber cloth. It seems to slowly layer after each application so my vulcanite stems now have an incredible shine with lots of...- Sacred_summit
