    That Old School Aroma

    60's-70's in our neck of the woods would have been Prince Albert. You could pipe it or roll it. My grandfather did both.

    How Fragile are Pipes?

    I would hazard to guess that for every pipe that is broken in a fall, a thousand cell phones fair much worst. And most of the phones are in a "protective case"... Its all in the perspective.

    Smoking Filter Pipes Without a Filter - why the adapters ?

    Most of the time I don't use a filter. But I have had tobacco make its way to the bit.

    How to Best use my Pipe Budget?

    I found I had to spend a lot of money to do better than my cobs. In fact after ten years, I don't know that I have. I find some of my other pipes more visually appealing, but I don't know that they smoke better. I'm saying don't over think it, you are gonna have several favorites over time...

    How Cold is "Too Cold?"

    I bring wood up to the house from the barn about every other day in winter. Using the bucket on the tractor. While loading the bucket I will often sneak in a bowl. The barn keeps most of the wind out. I stash a MM hardwood a lighter and a pouch of something in a plastic ammo box down there...

    Medicinal Purposes Only

    Latakia Burnout - How Long does it Last?

    I'm still waiting to enjoy it the first time... I did leave a jar of fox and hound sit for four or five years. It has helped. I think it was at least five or six years old when I got it. Every once in a blue moon I'll sample a bowl, still waiting.

    Finally Bought A Cob. Is This Normal?

    It will pass with time. But you might get in big trouble if you start calling your lady Olive Oyl, unless that is her name...

    Tobacco--How Much Do You Carry?

    Unless I'm camping or fishing, mine never leaves the place. I will usually take enough to pack two pipes to the barn with me.

    Your biggest Surprise in Pipe Smoking?

    After reading all the rave reviews everywhere I would look. A few years ago I went way out of my way to pick up a can of the frog. I think that was about 2014. Just last week I happened upon the nearly full can. I can just now after all these years, almost open it without gagging from the...

    Dr. Grabow Quality

    My newest ones are a couple of years old. I had a couple of my dad's from the 70's and I have had no issues with any of them. I'm sure a feller can buy much nicer pipes, but I'm not sure I would say "better". All mine work very well for their intended purpose.

    Tobacco Taste !

    I taste much more when I smoke my meer. It was such a difference that I returned to a couple of blends I had tried in the past just to see what they "really" tasted like.

    Breaking In

    I find "breaking-in" a pipe to be as much about me getting use to the pipe as it does the pipe getting used.

    A New Lease on... Pipe Smoking?

    In this day and age there is really no reason to ask questions about a cob. Just buy one and try it. There is little middle ground when it comes to cobs. People love them or hate them, it is pretty cheap to see where you fit on that scale. As a side note, if you think something different...

    What's Your Favorite Pipe for Backpacking or Camping?

    Finally Caught One In The Wild Today

    Most of a guys I know with a pipe wear bibs. I have a couple pair, there is a pocket for everything, including your cell phone. In our part of the country nobody gives them a second look. I have been warned that once you stop wearing a belt, and there is nothing holding your belly up (you...

    Muttnchop Piper Update

    Hope he can get back on track. He seemed to like making videos. He did a walk around review of a shop in my area, that was really great. I visited the shop about a year after his review. The owner told me what a nice guy he was when I asked him about it.
