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

    Smoking Peter Stokkebye’s Luxury Twist Flake in my glossi Rossi 8626!

    Thoughts on a Second Pipe

    Thank you - I needed to hear that! I'm only a little over two weeks into smoking a pipe and I already have 5 pipes on hand and 12 different blends. Yeah... Thankfully, my most expensive pipe is only $68 and four of them are cob pipes, so my investment has not been absorbent. I want to keep...

    Thoughts on a Second Pipe

    Check out the Rossi pipes also. Some of them are only about $20 more and they smoke great! They are basically flawed Santelli's, made by Santelli but I cannot even identify the flaw in the one I bought. It's really a nice pipe!

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

    Smoking the Squire’s Shepherd’s Pie in my Morgan Bones bent billiard! This was my first public smoke! Had some delicious pizza at Comfort Pizza - followed by some Shepherd’s Pie in their outdoor seating area!

    Tobacco Storage In Pouch?

    Thank you, that’s very helpful. Yeah, so far I’ve tried 7 different brands, mostly aromatics and a couple English, and Captain Black is one of my favorites for sure.

    Bowl Coating?

    I don’t have a non-coated pipe experience to compare it to, but I didn’t taste anything foul in my first bowl.

    How Often Do You Smoke a Pipe?

    I’m just starting out, but so far it’s been 4-5 times a week.

    Bowl Coating?

    I got the bent billiard, and I’m pretty pleased with it. I think I might buy another one of their pipes. I happen to like the look of them. I just smoked it for the first time tonight with some Shepherds Pie. Good smoke! It was also my first smoke with an unfiltered pipe. The only...

    Tobacco Storage In Pouch?

    Yeah, I’m thinking I’m going to jar it. I guess I did probably get a drier batch, because I could keep that lit better than the Squire’s Shepherds Pie I smoked tonight, which is largely an English blend. I bought my CB at a local vaping store that a bunch of teenagers go to. I’m thinking it...

    Tobacco Storage In Pouch?

    Interesting… Didn’t know that. I’m ever ready to learn more. I don’t know if this forum allows you to post links, but if so, please feed me a couple of what you’d recommend.

    Bowl Coating?

    Yes, me too. Makes that Morgan Bones look pretty cool!

    Bowl Coating?

    So I bought my first two briar pipes - a Morgan Bones and a Rossi. Both of them came with a black coating inside the pipe. Is this common? I’ve heard a number of smokers talk and debate about creating a carbon cake in a new pipe, and they spoke as if there was no coating at all inside the...

    Tobacco Storage In Pouch?

    Thank you sir! That’s what I was looking for.

    Tobacco Storage In Pouch?

    Thank you! I don’t smoke everyday, so I don’t see me finishing that one pouch anytime soon, because I want to try others. Right now it’s looking like I’ll be amoking 3-4 times a week (maybe a 5th). So with 12 other blends on hand it might get stretched beyond 4 months. I’m thinking I’m just...

    Tobacco Storage In Pouch?

    Interesting. I haven’t really found it to be all that wet. I’ve had no problem keeping it lit, without heating up my bowl. In fact, moisture wise, it has seemed to be similar to the EMP I just got.

    Tobacco Storage In Pouch?

    Well, I guess that’s why I’m asking the question, because those roll-up pouches don’t exactly seal the tobacco. I’m sure they will keep it fresh for X amount of time. I just have no experience to know just how long that time is? Weeks, months, years? I highly doubt years.

    Lightheaded and Not Sure Why

    Yeah, no facial hair (unfortunately the wife doesn’t approve). Thankfully, I never got queasy.

    Tobacco Storage In Pouch?

    Thank you! Central a/c, so sounds like I need not worry about it.

    Tobacco Storage In Pouch?

    I’m currently trying a bunch of different blends, and wanted to know how long my tobacco will stay good in my opened Captain Black pouch?
