Do Missouri Meerschaum Hardwoods Last Longer Than Cobs?
Well, I finally got an official answer to the question that started this thread! I've got a bent Ozark Mountain hardwood and a snazzy bent red amber F-type Forever Stem for it arriving on Thursday and I'll be really looking forward to giving it try and seeing how it smokes once it's broken...- Skippy B.

Skippy's Blend of the Week
Yeaaaah, if you're not a fan of anise then stay far away from War Horse Green! That goes double for if you're sensitive to chemical flavors and aromas. On a more positive note though, for those who may like to smoke along with me I took some time this afternoon to come up with a little blend...- Skippy B. Coyote

Skippy's Blend of the Week
Slight change of plans! After smoking War Horse Green twice yesterday and today I just can't get past that mothball chemical flavor note and it's making me a little nauseous every time I smoke it, and I sure don't need to spend a week smoking this stuff to know that I don't like feeling...- Skippy B.

***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***
After the War Horse Green I was in serious need of a familiar favorite tobacco, so I'm having some Captain Black original in a Dr. Grabow Royalton. I really enjoy the simple vanilla coffee creamer sort of flavor and I swear Captain Black has got the best room note I've ever smelled from any pipe...- Skippy B. Coyote

Skippy's Blend of the Week
War Horse Green First Impressions It took me some time to decide on which pipe to desecrate with this blend, since I've heard War Horse Green will leave a permanent ghost in whatever you smoke it in, but after some ponderation I settled on an old Country Gentleman cob that's nearing the end...- Skippy B.

Do Missouri Meerschaum Hardwoods Last Longer Than Cobs?
Most definitely! It's hard to go wrong with well drilled properly cured briar, and I'm a big fan of Morgan Bones, Rossi, and Dr. Grabow pipes and own several of them. However, even those inexpensive $40'ish briars still feel special enough to me that I tend to baby them and not want to risk...- Skippy B. Coyote

Cobs
I get about a year out of my cobs smoking them once a day or every other day with aromatics and giving them a good cleaning after every smoke by running a couple pipe cleaners down the stem and wiping down the bowl with a folded up pipe cleaner to prevent cake buildup, but after a year or so...- Skippy B.

Do Missouri Meerschaum Hardwoods Last Longer Than Cobs?
After sending them an email with a link to this thread and a summary of what's been going on with my cobs I heard back from Missouri Meerschaum a couple days ago, and the short version of the story is that yes indeedy, it was very likely the smoking of wet aromatics in my cobs with a one day...- Skippy B.

Skippy's Blend of the Week
Blend of the Week #1: Gawith Hoggarth Jamaican Flake / Rum Flake Alrighty! After a week of smoking Gawith Hoggarth Jamaican Flake (formerly Rum Flake) at least once a day I think it's time to share my thoughts on it! The presentation of the tobacco is lovely, coming in long thick strips that...- Skippy B. Coyote

Skippy's Blend of the Week
I already have more blends than I know what to do with, but if you really got your hopes up for peanut butter then I suppose I could order some Wilke Peanut Butter and give it a try! 😅- Skippy B. Coyote

Skippy's Blend of the Week
Hey there folks! My name is Skippy and I have a problem. Tobacco Acquisition Disorder affects us all to one degree or another, and oh boy have I ever had a bad case of it! I'm going into my third year of pipe smoking at this point and my cellar has reached just shy of 100 blends stashed away in...- Skippy B. Coyote

That seems to be a problem most everyone runs into after enough time in this hobby! I'm going into my third year of pipe smoking and at this point my cellar has reached just shy of 100 blends (including the ones that arrived today) stashed away in 8 ounce Ball jars or unopened tins and I'd...- Skippy B.

1792 is some wild stuff! Smells like a Black Cat firecracker, tastes like a pandan bonfire, and will turn your brain (and possibly stomach if you're not careful) inside out! I still remember being bedridden for a good 9 hours after the first time I smoked it, but I've been a lot more cautious...- Skippy B. Coyote

TAD Acquisitions 2024
Gawith must have really toned down the sauce in the latest batches then, because I had to open the baggie it was in before I could smell it! The batch of Dark Flake Aromatic I got in the mail today just has a faint cedar chip aroma to it, which is pleasant but much milder smelling than I was...- Skippy B. Coyote

TAD Acquisitions 2024
Lots of fairly high octane goodies from SmokingPipes arrived today! I've never tried any of these blends before so it should be a lot of fun sampling them. In case the text on the labels is too small to read, the two bulk blends are Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake Aromatic and Dark Flake Unscented.puffy- Skippy B. Coyote

Having some Gawith Hoggarth Jamaican Flake in a Dr. Grabow Lark, pairing it with a hot mug of French roast.puffy I'm now 5 days in to smoking Jamaican Flake (formerly Rum Flake) every day, and while I initially found it to be a rather bland and unexciting blend, there are some aspects of it...- Skippy B.

Do Missouri Meerschaum Hardwoods Last Longer Than Cobs?
I actually make it a point to never let my cobs build a cake, past the initial break in period of getting the bowl carbonized from top to bottom. After that first week or so of smoking I always wipe down the inside of the bowl with a folded up pipe cleaner after every smoke to prevent cake...- Skippy B. Coyote

Do Missouri Meerschaum Hardwoods Last Longer Than Cobs?
I definitely enjoy my briar pipes quite a bit, but I'm clumsy as all get out and after accidentally dropping a couple briars on concrete and breaking them I'm pretty determined to not take briars to work or on walks anymore; it's just too big of a loss if I drop one. Nope, no torch! I just use...- Skippy B. Coyote
