    Broken Pipe Stem

    Today was a sad day, I returned home after a long day and went to smoke from one of my favourite pipes, only to find the stem had been broken. I would love to get it replaced if possible, because this was my late grandfather's pipe, and it means a lot to me.

    Bulk vs. Tinned

    But that makes a ton of sense that it would be different. It is like making stew on an industrial scale versus for your family. Not everything will be the same due to price, quantity, etc etc etc

    Aromatic Bowl Size?

    My experience with otc aros would be borkum riff original blend. On another note, would cavendish be considered aromatic or no? I ask because my family had gotten me a bag of "natural cavendish" and from my understanding that is just steamed and pressed to bring out the natural sugars.

    Question(s) on OTCs

    I personally don't care for thr taste of Carter hall, but I enjoy Prince Albert, but in time that could easily change. As it has been said in many of the forums on here, your tastes will change with time.

    Aromatic Bowl Size?

    I started with an otc aromatic and the first time I smoked it, I ended up getting severe tongue bite. I wasn't letting it dry long enough, and only as the pouch dried out a bit did i really find it even remotely enjoyable. I have enough for two more bowls in a Ziploc inside of a cleaned out baby...

    Smoking a Pipe While Walking

    I just find it lets my mind wander a bit easier, and it is a very calm feeling for me. Yeah, it does seem to go a bit quicker, but at the same time I also start letting my mind go elsewhere and go out to a relaxing spot. Some nights I smoke while I walk and have to relight often, other nights I...

    Smoking a Pipe While Walking

    That is impressive! I would think that if he has been doing smithing long enough that he would be relaxed though.

    Smoking a Pipe While Walking

    To each their own. On a side note, I can't wait to try out my newest pipes. Local tobacco outlet had Missouri Meerschaum pipes and i got one of the ozark mini pipes and an ozark mountain pipe.

    Storing Pipes

    I hate saying this, but i dropped it onr night as i went across the creek on a walking bridge. Fel into the water and that was literally my reason to have it. I am a bit of a clutz and i only have the one wooden pipe so far. I just wanted something for walking in case i would fall, drop it, or...

    Inhaling Revisited

    The reason i cough while smoking is usually caused by chest congestion, an asthma flare up or acid reflux making me have to cough -it is a real thing that happens-

    Inhaling Revisited

    Pretty much the only time that I inhale is when i have to cough and have a mouth of smoke, or i'm outside and the wind blows the smoke back at me
