    The Relight debate

    I find the tighter the pack, the less flavor I get. Same goes for tamping. A heavy tamp leads to a harder pack and again, less flavor. I find relights enjoyable. The Kiribi lighter I purchased feels great in the hand and sound fantastic. I also get a burst of flavor with each relight.

    Experienced Pipers 20 Years+ Opinions on Definitive Blends

    IMO Escudo is terribly finicky and can taste wildly different depending how tight a pack it and the pipe I smoke it in. My typical virgins pipes - stack billiard, bent or straight makes Escudo taste bland a bit bitter to me. Escudo packed “medium pressure pack” in my slightly bent apple...

    Show me your pipe clearer, tamper, lighter accessory organizer…. Please : )

    Hi, I’m wondering what others use for their smoking experience? I would love to see your stuff. I have this handy little pipe cleaner holder that I tuck a chech tool into. It works well enough but looking for something a bit more. I’m on the hunt for a sleek, quality organizer for my pipe...

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

    A Castello panel swan? I guess. It’s a Castello but not sure what shape to call this. I’m told it’s rare and have been on the hunt for another Castello is this shape. This pipe quickly became a top 3 favorite pipe. Virginias have been a dream. The 2021 CRF w/ perique has hit a new level...

    Sanding the Inside of an Estate Pipe?

    Many thanks for all the advice. I’m happy to report that hot water on a hand towel worked brilliantly. I’ve had a few bowls and the taste is all tobacco, no bitter at all. Thanks again!

    Sanding the Inside of an Estate Pipe?

    I’ve recently purchased a Castello estate pipe that’s been refurbished with the black coating on the inside of the bowl. The pipe beautiful, but has the taste of a bitter charcoal, and I’m thinking it’s the coating on the bowl which made it look nice, but taste bad. I’m considering sanding...

    Capstan & Tolkien

    I enjoy the Blue quite a lot. Recently acquired a couple of the square tins from 2013. Should I dump them in a jar or keep ‘‘em as is? I’d like to continue the aging process. I hear the square tins may not hold their seal. thoughts?
