    Suggestions for a Sweet Virginia

    The sweet ones that hit it for me are Watch City Rouxgaroux and Rhythm & Blues. Those two really hit the sweet spot for my taste. Also, their Simply Voriential is pretty close as well.

    WCC Rouxgaroux

    Rouxgaroux is one of my favorites and a standard for me. I like the slight spice and the sweetness that just glides along the side of my tongue.

    Sanding the Inside of an Estate Pipe?

    Wipe it out with a paper towel wet with water or one wet with Bourbon, or just sand it out. A pipe isn't as magical as some think, it's just a piece of wood intended to build a fire within. If you think sanding will remove too much wood, wrap a piece of 220 grit around your finger and sand...

    How Can People Taste Anything Without Retrohaling?

    Ultimately it comes down to we are each individual. No one tobacco tastes the same to a room full of different people, nor does it all smell the same. I don't retrohale. When I have, it just tastes like standing over a trash fire. Since in my normal enjoyment of my day I avoid standing over...

    Dublin Shapes and Tobacco Choices

    I think the best-looking shape is a Dublin. And I don't mind the meandering at all even though I don't meander. Now, I am a top-tier beagle and can chase a rabbit with the best of them. Now, what were you asking again?

    What Time of Day do you Enjoy your Pipe the Most?

    Truthfully, I enjoy my pipe whenever I have/make the time. For me, it's not a way to get nicotine or just a habit. I do it as a way of slowing down and reflecting on things. Some can meditate, do nothing and relax. Me, I'm too ADD/AHD or whatever to do that, but with a pipe, I can just sit...

    Have a Smoking Room? What's it Like?

    I like to smoke outside, but if it's too cold I smoke in one of my shops,

    Filter Pipes?

    I like and use the Dr. Grabow paper filters. IMO they give a better flavor. Your taste may not be the same as mine LOL. For those that say they are a waste of time or money, If my goal was to save time or money, I wouldn't smoke a pipe. ;)

    Which Pipe You Choose Today?

    The pipe all depends on where I am. I have a couple of cobs in the house, a couple in the truck, and a couple in the shop. Extras are packed away in the closet. Either way, it's a MM cob. They just perform better to me.

    Filter Confusion

    Don't run the pipe cleaner through the filter. Remove filter and throw away, run pipe cleaner through, then replace filter with a new one.

    Filter Confusion

    I use the Dr. Grabow paper filters. I don't like the taste as well without a filter, so I buy filtered pipes or I convert unfiltered ones to filters. MM Cobs are my go to.

    Tongue and Tasting

    I don't bother retohaling, it just makes it taste like bland generic smoke to me. Sipping the smoke across my tongue allows me to taste flavors and sweetness. We're all a little different, so try different ways to find yours.

    For a pleasant, sweet VaPer you might try PS Deluxe Navy Flake. Sweet with a hint of spice and no bite.
