    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    Love the pipe! That's the rusticated version of my little Ropp Etudiante J05! Marvellously deceptive capacity, eh whot?

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    Today's Festivities. Again my cluttered workspace in the kitchen. I've already had my morning smoke, a nice romp with Bengal Slices of about 25 minutes in the miniature McQueen Acorn, which suits the burning rate of this pipe perfectly. If I feel like another one in the late morning while...

    A Question About Tall Bowls, Help Wanted

    I'm in a phase now where I'm really trying to get to know my pipe and tobacco combinations. As a result, I'm tending to smoke certain pipes with certain tobaccos. Fit's into what you said above. The learning curve is always there, eh?

    A Question About Tall Bowls, Help Wanted

    I just smoked the little Ropp and followed your directions. I packed very lightly to the top, compressed it lightly about 2/3 the way to the top with my little finger, filled it again lightly just enought that there was a space just below the top of the bowl, and had a great smoke that lasted...

    A Question About Tall Bowls, Help Wanted

    I would also add, though, that as you smoke the tall bowls, I'll try again. I'm actually referring to dimensions - the bowls I have are much taller in comparison with their width. We'll see what happens. That's why I posted this thread.

    A Question About Tall Bowls, Help Wanted

    I've not found that. With the little Ropp, I can get a full hour of smoking. I can't go slower than that. I have to dump the ash. (see picture of pipe). I've got a tall dublin in my Falcon set as well, and same thing. At this point, I'm not capable of smoking slower than that. Not yet anyway. I...

    A Third Falcon Drops From Above

    Excellent question. I have many questions about similar bowls. I don't have a chimney, but I do have three very tall Dublins in various pipe configurations, and I'm a bit flummoxed by smoking them. I relight them MUCH more than other stlyles - there is a LOT of ash that forms at the top, and it...

    A Question About Tall Bowls, Help Wanted

    Forum member khiddy and I had an exchange in my new Falcon post, and I've taken the liberty of cutting and pasting our dialogue there. I'm sure that there are forum members who've overcome this problem. Your help and suggestions would be most welcome. Excellent question. I have many questions...

    A Third Falcon Drops From Above

    In all honesty, you can't go wrong with any of their designs because the innards are all the same. However, I'd recommend the plain jane straight model with the regular bit, even if your a "clencher". It'll be just fine, and you can always add another frame later. They're not expensive, and...

    A Third Falcon Drops From Above

    I have one, and its purpose in life is to go fishing with me and the Falcon lol. Gonna be holding it where it is! Got too much tobacco debt thanks to Customs Canada . . . . and a court session with them over the charging me for gram weight of pipes as tobacco. $400 charge completely erroneous...

    A Third Falcon Drops From Above

    Well, I did it again. Pushed the button on a new pipe. Had reason to though . . . a buddy of mine broke one of his favorite pipes. I happened to have the same pipe and I hated it. So I gave it to him. So I figured I'd replace it and the decision began. I was going to get another Ropp (have three...

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    I do the same thing frequently, but in my case I wonder if it's contemplation or procrastination! :ROFLMAO:

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    Two Birds with one stone. Right now I'm about to light up my morning smoke this Oct 7th, Mad Fiddler, in the top pipe, a McQueen miniature in briarwood, with an ash stem. I'll get about a 25 minute smoke, just right for me in the am with my usual cold coffee. Bracing! At about 2:00 pm I'll...

    Pipe Hobby Waxing and Waning

    That seems to be the direction I'm currently headed in. However, except for a brief 18 month or so stint of pipe smoking in University, I only returned to the activity within the last year. Still have a ways to go. I certainly am spending more and more time with fewer pipes and smoking fewer...

    Pipe Hobby Waxing and Waning

    Yeah, there is an ebb and flow to all interests. I think that's quite natural. However, when you go through the pipe and tobacco buying phase, get a raft of pipes and tobacco, smoke your brains out . . . . I think all of a sudden you get into a different territory. I think Cosmicfolkore said it...
