    Smoking Half a Bowl and Finishing it Later

    For me, it depends on if I get distracted with work stuff, or if my kids interrupt a bowl in one of their many, many creative ways of doing so. But I much prefer to smoke a bowl all at once. I actually find the first half of the bowl to be much more satisfying than the bottom half. And often...

    You May Say I’m a Reamer, Am I the Only One?

    I appreciate you noticing! Wish I was more consistent with the cleverness. It’s the same with my jokes. Every once in a while I’ll tell one my wife and kids don’t roll their eyes at.

    Love That Brand

    I’m not too worried about losing my taste for Latakia. Maybe I should be. Idk. But mainly, it’s bc I go through phases. And I go through them HARD. I’m like that with everything in my life. Like I eat the exact same thing for breakfast and lunch every day. Until one day, I just don’t eat that...

    Love That Brand

    I gotta say, I’m also a big fan of Peterson’s Latakias. Their tobaccos taste balanced, and I prefer their cut. I have 4 tins of some GLP Englishes, and I like them well enough. They’re very fine blends. But they all seem to lack a bit of the subtlety I find with Nightcap and MM965 in particular...

    You May Say I’m a Reamer, Am I the Only One?

    It’s just running the bowl under hot water for a very few seconds, then immediately wiping out and drying. I do it about once a month to all my pipes. Have never had a problem.

    Cracker Barrel Tobacco Stuff

    Well I see this thread has devolved into a bunch of anti-breakfast propaganda. Mama & Uncle Herschel must be rolling in their graves!

    Cracker Barrel Tobacco Stuff

    I don’t even understand this chicken and dumplings comment. If you go to Cracker Barrel for all three meals during a day, you order breakfast for all three meals. That’s how Cracker Barrel works. ?

    Perique Pipe Tobacco (American Spirit Black)

    Interesting. Thx. I had a buddy who smoked them exclusively, but he never mentioned anything about them. At the time, I honestly just thought they were a budget brand and that he was trying to save a few bucks by not buying Marlboros or Camels. P.S. I know this probably info I could just...

    Cracker Barrel Tobacco Stuff

    Every time I’m in a Cracker Barrel, I always look around to notice the antique tobacco cans and signs they have on the wall. But yesterday when I was there, I caught myself gazing up at all the antiques hanging from the ceiling and wondering if they ever occasionally have any old pipes for sale...

    Perique Pipe Tobacco (American Spirit Black)

    Genuinely curious… does American Spirit cigarettes include all the additives generally found in other brands?

    You May Say I’m a Reamer, Am I the Only One?

    I water flush about once a month, but I’ve seen some on here note that they do every night. I’ve also learned there’s some strong & opposing opinions on this practice. Lol.

    You May Say I’m a Reamer, Am I the Only One?

    I went to seminary and finished around 60 graduate hours there. My wife has a PhD. And I’m still learning from you fine gentleman. I literally just learned the word “friable” from this post. Had never seen it before, and I’ve read A LOT. i appreciate you making me smarter. And I’m totally gonna...

    You May Say I’m a Reamer, Am I the Only One?

    It is oddly satisfying.

    You May Say I’m a Reamer, Am I the Only One?

    Yeah, I def had to clean the residue out. After gently reaming, I turned the pipe over and dumped out what looked like a teaspoon of ground coffee. Might throw it in the drip later and see how it brews. Tobaccoffee. (That’s a joke btw. Felt I needed to clarify. Of course, now I’m expecting one...

    You May Say I’m a Reamer, Am I the Only One?

    I know some of y’all have a romantic relationship with your cake. And I respect it. To each his own. Love the one you’re with. But I find too much cake keeps me from distinguishing the taste of various blends. Had been using my little Czech spoon to tackle cake, with varying degrees of success...

    A One Pipe Man....

    I have a Savinelli I’ve dedicated to just aromatics. But after Lakelands, Cult Blood Red Moon, Vanillas, etc., literally everything tastes the same in it. Makes me sad. Mainly bc I spent a grip on that pipe.

    A One Pipe Man....

    I was in the local shop just this morning buying an el cheapo reamer. The owner told me about this old guy, long-time customer who started complaining about their blends and how they’ve changed them and this place ain’t what it used be, etc. Owner assured him they haven’t changed in a thing and...

    Balkan Sasieni & Sobranie Q

    Snagged this at the B&M this morning. I’ve heard people call it the sobranie replacement. Unfortunately, I never had Balkan Sobranie. So what are your thoughts? Was Sobranie tart at all? Bc this blend is definitely not. I have a tin of H&H Magnum Opus. It’s an excellent Balkan, but it does...

    Suggestions for English Blends

    I don’t like warm, soggy fruit. The only exception is I’ll eat fresh banana pudding. But even that I prefer cold. I even prefer to freeze my blueberries rather than eat them at room temp. But bc of my warm fruit aversion, I can’t even enjoy apple pie.
