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

    Seeing that you have no other options now you might have to 😉 how about you get some whole leaf, make some blends and come to Oahu to trade with me! 🤙🏼

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

    Haha! All explainable. How am I to cut my whole leaf but with the biggest knife I own? The Hebrew verb qatal (to kill) is a very regular Qal perfect verb, making it easy to memorize its parsing. I may be sad about the bill but it hasn’t unhinged me. 😂

    How Long Should a Bowl Last?

    don’t get too discouraged about relights. It’s a normal part of learning. Some tobaccos also smoke easier than others. Just keep practicing, and enjoying your new pipe! Also don’t think too hard about packing. Trial and learning from errors works fine. Many people have learned to smoke a pipe...

    Smoking without a Filter

    This is a good point, however filtered pipes are specifically crafted to smoke well with filters. I still find smoking filterless more enjoyable personally. Concerning moisture in a filtered, you must remove and replace filter as well if you are going to smoke half a bowl and then leave the...

    Smoking without a Filter

    I had the exact same experience as you. I just kept with trying no filter, and eventually experienced no issues. Just takes time of no-filter smoking. I stopped using filters because they can get expensive, they affect flavor, and are just another thing to carry around. There are also more...

    Cringle flake 2022 mold

    I transferred mines to a jar. My friends both kept it in the tin, and mold was far worse. It happens. I’m not complaining, just curious. Tobacco in the end is just leaves that are susceptible to mold.

    Smoking without a Filter

    I started out smoking only filtered pipes, and then one day stopped because I was tired of carrying filters around. The first few times are going to feel harsh, but as you learn to smoke without a filter (slower and less resistance) that harshness will go away.

    Cringle flake 2022 mold

    They were not crystals. It was fuzzy mold.

    Cringle flake 2022 mold

    I tossed the tobacco. So I can’t get another picture, but it was definitely mold. It was fuzzy, and smelly. (Also both of my friends showed me theirs and it was coated with fuzzy mold.) also it was not there previously. When I first opened the tin there were no signs of mold, other than some...

    Missouri Meerschaum Shank Crack

    Once the shank completely gave out on the C&D MM, I took the stem and put it in a MM country gentlemen. It was a perfect fit and I’ve had no problems. I do want to get a forever stem though. This is a good excuse.
