    Where to Go from Aromatics?

    I would suggest a simple virginia flake, like newminster no. 400 superior navy flake. That way you get the experience of a different cut of tobacco, as well as a tobacco forward flavour, with a simple flavour profile. And you experience 'subtle' which you don't get so much with an aromatic...

    The Great RYO Smoke Out!

    Valiant effort @woodsroad !! This kind of test would also be interesting if you smoked shag cut the week before, even once a day. At least for me, shag cut requires quite a specific puff/draw to keep it pleasant, and it always takes me a bowl to remember that. To be honest I usually only use...

    There's a Hole in my Pipe, Dear Liza!

    I think you could epoxy a bit of wood back in there, and then clean up any mess on the inside by running the right size drill bit back through the stummel. The hole is not actually in the bowl section right? just in the shank of the stummel? You have nothing to lose attempting to fix it, even...

    Estate find - G Fish

    It looks like it was carved by someone who only knows sealife via 15th century wood cuts of fantastical beasts...I like it! Yes to meerschaum, but I don't know what the G is symbolic of.

    Horn Stems
