    Pipe Art

    Played around for the last couple of days with recreating pipes in watercolor. The Peterson Irish Harp is on my wish list, the other one I saw online and just thought it looked cool. I'll never own all the gorgeous pipes out there, but at least this way I can enjoy the beauty of different pipes.

    Pipe Smoking Pearls Of Wisdom

    Love seeing the different bits of pipe wisdom. The pipe is very much like marriage. Sometimes things are great, sometimes...not so much!

    Best Refillable Lighter-- Xikar, IM Corona or Peterson?

    My hang up with a bic lighter is more about the philosophical end of pipe smoking, not so much practical.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2023?***

    Glp Virginia cream in my newly received MM Emerald Cob. not a great smoke, but I think I packed to loosely, and the cob needs breaking in. That said, I appreciated this combo…it was quick to tell me if i my technique was off.

    What’s a good example of a mild English? I’ve tried MM965 but it seemed pretty bold to me.

    Hello From Central Texas

    what blends are you enjoying right now?

    That absolutely makes sense. You knew you didn't like it because you actually experienced the flavor vs just having a bad smoke due to technique.

    These are some really great insights!! What I've seen so far is: A. I started my journey the hardest way possible 🤣 B. Technique seems as important, if not more so, as blend. C. (This is the big one I think) Pipes are meant to be handed down. Meaning the experience would be so much richer...

    (apologies if this has been discussed before) Good morning all, talked with another member here this morning, and that spawned a question I wanted to put out here in order to learn more... If you were guiding a new pipe smoker, someone who's been giving it a go for roughly 6 months, what...
