    Didn't Worry About Packing and Guess What?

    Yeah, there are oodles of codgers out there that simply dip their pipe into their pouch and smoke away and don’t even think about it. Experience is definitely the best teacher. I’ve found that I don’t think too much about it now. To me the main factor is how the tobacco is cut and processed...

    VaPer Lovers, Please List your Top Five

    I purchased some Marlin Flake, and I've really enjoyed that blend! Thank you for all the input gentlemen! I plan to order Peterson's De Luxe Navy Rolls & St. James Flake when I see those go on sale in the future. [For those who would be interested] I'm a spreadsheet guy, so I logged all your...

    Didn't Worry About Packing and Guess What?

    Yeah, I pretty much gave up on trying to follow packing methods a couple months ago, and I haven't really looked back since. There are so many variables to each smoke. No doubt there are wrong ways to pack a pipe, but in my opinion it seems packing gets too much credit for bad smoking experiences.

    VaPer Lovers, Please List your Top Five

    Since I got good feedback on my VaPer + Dark Kentucky post, I thought I’d ask pure VaPer lovers to list their favorite blends. I sort of liked the few VaPer blends I’ve smoked, but then today I tried Escudo for the first time and I really like it! That has me wondering what other great VaPers...

    Why Did I Start Smoking a Pipe?

    The few - the proud - the pipe smokers. [some of you will remember that ad from yesterday]

    Virginias

    I've found Virginias can taste quite a bit different, especially when you factor in aged Virginias. I suggest you to try something like HH Pure Virginia or try to get your hands on some Virginia blend that has 2-5 years age on it. Most Virginias have a grassy hay-like taste mixed with a fresh...

    WTT Early Morning Pipe for Escudo or Other VaPer 11/04/24

    Looking to trade my unopened 50gm tin of EMP for an unopened tin of Escudo. However, I’m open to other VaPer offers.

    Breaking in a Cob.

    The main issue with the cob is getting past the cob taste, which should only require about 5-6 smokes. At least that’s what I’ve experienced in the 5 cobs I’ve smoked.

    Newbie Questions.

    My friend, I've only been smoking for 4-1/2 months. So I'm speaking from limited experience, but I have experienced that ashy taste you are talking about, and it largely comes from smoking too hot, which burns the tobacco too fast, which burns off the natural and even added flavors that are the...

    9mm Charcol Filters vs Meerschaum Throwdown

    The White Elephant is longer. I don't know exactly by how much because I don't have any on hand (only use Savinelli), but its something around 2-3mm longer.

    VaPer Blend + Dark Kentucky Suggestions

    Interesting, I almost purchased Triple Play too, but ended up throwing Three Friars on the order because of the discount. In fact, I'm smoking it right now for the first time. It's definitely a keeper for me. I like burley, but not so much alone. The same being true for Virginias. So this...

    WTT - Aged MacBaren HH Balkan Blend for GLP Sixpence. 7-30-24

    I have an unopened 50gm tin of MacBaren HH Balkan Blend (5 yrs aged) that I am willing to trade (even up) for an unopened 2oz tin of Sixpence (prefer a little age). Reason? I’ve smoked enough English blends to know I don’t like them. I hope I posted this correctly? Mostly! Added a few...
