    Partial Bowl

    I just did this for the first time yesterday. Had a bowl of Maltese Falcon and about 1/3 of the way in to the bowl I came in to eat and read a bit. Then went back out to finish my pipe. It was delightful. I think I’ll do it more often as sometimes I’ll get bored but feel the need to finish when...

    Pipe bits taste?

    Oh, did not know they had silicone ones, should have done a bit more research. I’ll check those out. Thank you!

    Pipe bits taste?

    Hello all. Noob here so advanced apologies if this has been discussed already: I’ve just purchased some BJ Long’s pipe bits as I enjoy clenching and figured these would be a comfortable solution to damaging my stems/teeth..however the rubber bits taste very bitter(naturally I guess).

    Show Us Your Molina Pipes

    I have two: one billiard and one bent (Dublin?). I’m relatively new to the hobby. I have 7 pipes so far and I think the Molina are my favorites along with my Savinelli Roma Lucite. They smoke better than a couple pipes I have that cost twice as much. I’ll continue collecting Molina to find what...

    How Do You Pick Your Next Smoke?

    I’m new to the hobby and have around 8 jars of different blends, mostly English with a few aros and virginias. Leaning more towards English most of the time but I appreciate pretty much all of them. Waiting to accrue enough jars and number them so I can do like somebody else on here mentioned...

    Smoking Entire Bowl

    I’m fairly new to the hobby as well, but I’m usually dumping some unsmoked tobacco, maybe a 1/4 or 1/5 of the bowl? I just go by the flavor of the smoke. Some I’ve enjoyed to the ash though. As long as I get a good 30-60 minutes I’m pretty happy.

    Timber And Smoke Magazine

    Just picked up the first issue. I love print media, and although I’ve gotten 90% of my pipe smoking info online, I appreciate the few books and mags I have. It’s nice to walk to the shelf for reference once and a while :sher:

    Travel to Mexico City / Smoking Laws

    Glad I found this thread. I’m vacationing in and around Cancun soon and was planning on bringing my pipe and some tobacco. Seems like along as you bring in under a certain amount of tobacco all is well. But I’m thinking I’m gonna have to take a Long walk or bike ride to find a place to smoke….
