    How Flush are your Pipe Stem and Shank ?

    Personally, if it's tight I don't care if it's flush or not. Doesn't change the flavor or how it smokes. I'd keep it. If it bothers you consider it a lesson learned. What bothers me faaaar more is when I buy a bent pipe and it's not bent straight. That's a major frustration for me and one...

    How Long to Rest a Pipe?

    I never "consider" it. Just load up another bowl and go. Especially on a day like today when all I'm doing is watching NFL here in the TV room all day. The wife is busy in the kitchen baking cakes and making dinner and prepping for tonight when we have lots of people come over. I just...

    Pipe Stands. Stem Up Or Stem Down?

    Bowls down, stems up here. Makes no difference though.

    Tobacco Reviews Website Update

    I wish them best of luck and I sure have used them often, but I'm not about to join a forum, or a site, where I have to verify that I'm over 21 years old to get on it almost every time I visit the site, even when I leave the "remember me" checked. This is something a 10 year old could do and is...

    Castello Pipes

    One of my favorite things about the Castellos I have are the buttons. I like big buttons. They sit so easily in the mouth.

    MIght Be Time to Quit?

    Well that sucks. I got Covid three times, when I got it the first time all pipe tobacco tasted really bad. Came back about three months later. The second time I got it there were no changes once it was over. Third time was the worst case of the three. That time it took easily 6 months to get...

    Smoking without a Filter

    Not directly related to your question but I also love my filtered pipes. They definitely have a place. I use them about 20-30% of the time. One of my favorite things to put in them are Virginias, so nice to be able to smoke Virginias pretty fast and not get a tongue bite. I happen to be a bit of...

    Hawaii Bans Online Tobacco Sales: SHTF Scenario

    It's spreading. Blue states are chopping at our freedoms one small thing like at a time. All because they of course always know what's best for us.

    Smoking a New Pipe Two Days in a Row ?

    This. Breaking in a new pipe is over rated. Be happy, keep smoking.

    Which Luxury Lighter?

    That's interesting since it's the exact opposite of my experience. Of the Old Boy designs only the Kiribi has held up for me. Been using that thing for years every day. Always had to return the IM Coronas after a few days.

    What Price Range Do You Stay Within When Buying Tobacco?

    I try to not go above $15 per tin.

    What Price Range Do You Stay Within When Buying Tobacco?

    That's because "they" always know best. Rest of us are just fools.

    Filter Or No Filter?

    Short answer: Depends on the tobacco. I have both and use them probably about 80% without and 20% with 9 mil filter

    Dishonorable Mentions

    C&D Autumn Evening. And I'm sorry to say many of the C&D blends period. Exception being Black Duck. I tend to like Dunhill and G.L Pease which is ironically made at the C&D factory...go figure.

    I like straight and bent bulldogs with saddle bit stems

    Pipe And Cigarettes.

    Cigarillos are good, I always have a lot in my car in an airtight container, but don't expect the same awesome flavor as your favorite regular sized cigar. They're good for the car though. Actually so are the General Grant cigars....so there's that too.

    Finger or Tamper?

    Tamper at home, finger in the car

    Too Hot to Smoke?

    I always smoke inside anyway, so the heat doesn't affect my smoking. Everything else though.

    Pipe Cleaners anyone?

    I buy 6 packs of BJ Long at a time from Amazon. Very good cleaners.
