    How Much do you Adjust as you Smoke?

    I find unburnt sides to be a result of smoking too fast and packing too tight. Usually. Sometimes it just happens. I do tamp the sides in if this happens. Also, a good false light of the whole bowl and letting it go out first before smoking a bowl can help.

    I have one. I also got Bill to reproduce them for the modern market since everyone was collecting them. They are great.

    More than likely. They came about because of briar shortages from the war. So some could have been earlier but not in the catalogs.

    Jim's Sutliff Crumble Cake No.6 Phantom Privateer Review.

    We challenged them to try something new on our podcast and Jeremy accepted the challenge and asked my friend to do the art. Jeremy's brother did the art for Birds of a Feather and for Pipe Force. They are trying new ideas.

    Handmades as in actually made by hand? Around 1998. Handmade that looks like Custom-bilt, 1946-1955 and again a year or two ago.

    Warm the stem and turn the stinger back to the right position. Bob's your uncle. $45 is a little high but white briar pipes are getting less common as they chip and wear. I would go for it if you feel like it is fair.

    Todd Bannard Oom Paul Commission

    He is so talented. That is as expected, yet still phenomenal.

    Jim's Sutliff Crumble Cake No.6 Phantom Privateer Review.

    It's sold out when it is sold out. This one by virtue of the barrels it is aged in.

    Metallic, Sour Taste with Both of my Cobs

    I obviously recommend a Kaywoodie over Grabow. There is QC at Kaywoodie, not so much at Grabow. But that's just my opinion.

    Jim's Sutliff Crumble Cake No.6 Phantom Privateer Review.

    Not even similar, in my humble opinion.

    Jim's Sutliff Crumble Cake No.6 Phantom Privateer Review.

    It is out at six tonight. My friend Eugene did the art and named it after an amusing exchange with Jeremy through our podcast. This has been a ton of fun.

    I Have Gone Off The Deep End.

    That's great. I lift using a Soloflex which uses resistance bands. After a decade off, I just got back on my skateboard.

    Metallic, Sour Taste with Both of my Cobs

    I like to do it every bowl. Cuts down on off flavors later. And reduces the need for deep cleans.

    Metallic, Sour Taste with Both of my Cobs

    Do you run a pipe cleaner up the shank after each bowl? If not, you may need to use some alcohol and clean it out well.

    Favorite Blends Flavored with Whisky

    Bothy Flake. Highland whisky, but whisky nonetheless.
