    Bad Taste In The Morning

    I would definitely try cutting out the retrohale and see if that changes it a bit.

    Do You Own a Pipe 5” or Less in Length?

    Tons of them. I am a fan of short pipes.

    Can a Pipe be Made Lighter in Color?

    Not on natural pipes. Using oxalic acid results in a lighter color, but it also opens the grain structure to make a driftwood finish.

    Can a Pipe be Made Lighter in Color?

    Lots of brands do this. Virgin, pure, unfinished, Natural, are all labels applied to such pipes. Yes, it is limited to stummels which are light enough in color and free of pits and defects. So there are never a ton of them.

    Can a Pipe be Made Lighter in Color?

    Briar varies in color, and the older it is the darker it gets. You probably have an older hunk of briar, or Grecian or Algerian vs. Italian. You could sand it back and take some oxidation off. Or you could love it as it is.

    You Can't Take it with You- Or Can You?

    I am certainly in trouble on that front.

    Mac Baren Modern Virginia Flake in a Kaywoodie Birkshire pocket pot.

    You Can't Take it with You- Or Can You?

    All of them. To make sure no one gets my treasures.

    Filter life?

    Some replace every bowl. Some every few. You'll notice it getting hard to draw or gross past that.

    Advice on a Cracked Pipe

    Meh. If the price is right smoke it and enjoy it. Looks surface but hard to say. I've smoked worse with no issue.

    What Are You Drinking? September 2023

    So Dunkin made various flavors of spiked iced tea. There are four flavors, varying in intensity of disgustingness. Would not try again.

    MM Corncobs - Chewing Gum as Pipe Mud

    I have no idea about gum as mud. But I don't bother mudding cobs. Just smoke and enjoy. I don't think the finish will wear off.

    Why Not Clean your Pipe After every Smoke?

    Are you telling me to learn about briar? Thank you, but I do, every single day. I have made hundreds of pipes, sold thousands, and smoked hundreds. I am sorry if my opinion bothers you, but I am telling you that I explicitly smoke pipes with pits in the chamber and they do not burn out. My...

    Why Not Clean your Pipe After every Smoke?

    Most burn out is smoking too hot. I have taken the time to prove that cake is not necessary. I had a commission that the first drilling revealed a pit that ran to the outside of the bowl. I decided to keep this pipe for myself and make a new one. It is one of many now that I smoke with no cake...

    Something To Do With Empty Tins

    I just let them pile up until I need the space back. Some have random things in that I'll probably lose or toss because of this. So it goes.

    That's epic. I'd love to see some of that.

    Cringle Flake ‘23

    There has not yet been a straight red Virginia that lives up to McClelland Christmas. So I keep enjoying the Cringle Flake releases. I will be getting some with Katerini, as I have enjoyed this leaf in a few blends. I actually just acquired some of the stoved Katerini to try on its own.
