    Pipe Dedicating Gone Awry

    Was the dedicated pipe cleaned well on occasion? Dedicating a pipe to a blend does not reduce maintenance.

    Tobacco Blend Disaster

    It’s safer to have a little bowl for leftover lats and separate for leftover va and vapers. If you mix everything it’s easy to end up with trash.

    S.T. Dupont Lighter Owners Club

    Once the seals are replaced they are good for many years. I love them. Id never consider new prices but they are sweet

    New Dunhill Smokingpipes Collab

    Perhaps I just dont get it but Im not the least bit tempted at any price. Guess it leaves more for their fans.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

    Ive been hanging out in Italy. No pipe for a couple of days but I brought one. I grabbed a pack of smokes and was quickly reminded that cigarettes suck and are not the least bit relaxing.

    Easiest (Best?) Way to Cook Bacon

    I gotta have the crunches on bacon. I can eat raw beef but crunchy bacon…that’s candy That said bacon in France is trash. The French dont eat real breakfast so those sorts of foods are hard to source.

    Moving to the EU

    I dont know that the personal exemptsion covers tobacco. Definitely check. I moved here via shipping container. Another issue is that that the moving company specifically said not to include tobacco. I had to leave some nice stuff behind as I was a bit too chicken to push my luck.

    Air Filter/Purifier Machine for Smoking in the Car

    Seriously though, someone did a review on in home purifiers. The only ones that actually worked were very expensive, sizable and somewhat power hungry. I really dont think you can do much other than to vent the smoke and cover mask the odor in a vehicle.

    Peterson Bowl Cracked During Alcohol Cleaning

    Good idea. That may well be the type of crack that ought to be drilled on both ends. Its pretty severe and there may be a lot of residual stress. Then again maybe not...its impossible to know. But hiding it is pretty impossible unless you are a magician. Showing it off is as good as...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

    I can tell its morning. I copied a pipe picture to post and forgot to post it by the time I got to the bottom of the page. Ok..Some Makhuwa mixed with latakia in a Paul Becker Pot.

    Need Something Better Than A Tri-Tool

    8Deco. I use the one with the tamper on one end and the spoon on the other so you dont have to disassemble. I use a spoon instead of a pick. I think they are 8 bucks.
