    Tongue Bite on First/Char Light

    I do try and char the entire surface on the initial light, going in a slow circle with the match, and have never had problems... but pipe smoking is all about finding what works best for you, so if something is off then try something different. Experiment, experiment, experiment!

    How to Get a Foul Taste out of Meerschaum?

    I've done this with cheap clays but I'd be terrified to throw an expensive meer in the oven... 😅

    "Mature Virginia" Rope?

    All of the G&H ropes have a pretty similar flavor profile, broadly speaking, so I don't think you'll find what you're looking for there.

    Years of Pipe Smoking vs. Pipe + Tobacco Count

    My pipe smoking experience has definitely gone in waves: a couple years at the beginning with just one pipe and a couple different blends, then a few years of obsessing over everything pipe-related + accumulating a small mountain of tobacco, then about a decade of a passive rhythm smoking...

    Trying Out an English Blend.

    Well, despite the name, C&D Smooth English is not really an English by any traditional definition. It may indeed grow on you, but it's definitely not typical of English blends and so won't help you figure out if they're something you'd like to explore further. English blends is a massive...

    Interesting Pipe Smokers

    Sometimes I like to think of myself as "an interesting pipe smoker", but my wife is skeptical.

    I'd imagine most people would say Chicago, but for my money it'd be Vegas—they're one of the few (only?) that still let you smoke indoors!

    Hello from NYC.

    Welcome from San Diego! I'm sure most of you will laugh, but it does get chilly down here in the winter months (at least from our perspective!), so I have a pair of merino wool gloves to keep my fingers warm while smoking. Not sure that would cut it in a New York winter, but maybe paired with a...

    Hello from Kansas City

    Welcome from San Diego! Definitely pay a visit to that pipe club—learning from others while smoking together is an excellent way to get started.

    Smoking some Esoterica Stonehaven in a Walt Cannoy suedeblast biliard while sitting in front of a nice fire. Sorry for the potato-quality photo!

    Struggling Coming Back after a Hiatus

    This is an incredibly good suggestion, OP. My consistent advice to people starting out (or in your case coming back) is: experiment until you find what works for you... and one of the basic tenets of experimentation is "isolate your variables"! Smoking the same blend side-by-side (with the same...
