Japanese Pipes
You are welcome. As an ex cigarette smoker I am quite the opposite, I never inhale while smoking a pipe. I have never tried Kizami, but I used to smoke Dokha (Arabian tobacco) in a midwakh, and yes it had hell of a kick. Exactly -
Japanese Pipes
Kiseru pipes are used to smoke finely shredded Kizami tobacco. It is nothing like a smoking pipe, mostly because you inhale the smoke. -
That Favorite Uncle That We've All Had
We have another similar story in my family. Apparently when I was a toddler, my dad had a friend who was a government inspector. In USSR those inspectors were well-respected people and they were earning really well. He invited my dad to different restaurants every day, they just spent their days...- jvnshr

How Many Blends In Your Rotation
When I started smoking a pipe I went for the variety, I have always been a curious person. I was getting a tin/pouch/sample of a blend, trying it and jumping to another one. I had so many open tins/samples that it was even impossible to go through them with the rate I was smoking (1-2 bowls a...- jvnshr

That Favorite Uncle That We've All Had
I have never been that close with my uncles, one is a retired doctor, the other one is a construction engineer. The one that would have been my favorite had died right before I was born, I have been named after him. My father sometimes tells me that I resemble him too much. My condolences to you...- jvnshr

Where to Buy Unique Tampers
Thanks for the thorough explanation @saltedplug, that's how I do it, too; at least most of the time. The only difference is sometimes my bowl is ready to smoke after the charring light, I just use the tamper to expand the ember. Even after the true light I take few puffs while tamping. I don't...- jvnshr

Mixing Tobaccos
I always have some Burley, Dark Fired Kentucky and Perique on hand for mixing purposes. I live outside the States and whatever tobacco I get stays with me, because I don't know any pipe smokers here (I wonder if there are any anyway) and I can't sell it online (local post service prohibits...- jvnshr

Where to Buy Unique Tampers
Doesn't the finger get burned? I have seen some old-timers doing it, especially you @warren. I just can't bring myself to put my finger into a bowl of tobacco that is burning, particularly after the charring light.- jvnshr

Where to Buy Unique Tampers
Exactly, back then I was using a wooden golf tee, I still find myself reaching for them more than my other tampers if I don't have the Cosmic tamper around.- jvnshr

Do Bowls Breathe?
@jpmcwjr was the one promoting to wash the pipes for cleaning purposes, @ashdigger was the one doing the experiment if I am not mistaken. -
Where to Buy Unique Tampers
When the bottom of a tamper is flat, the top of the burned tobacco ashes also becomes flat after tamping. What I like doing however is creating a cone-line shape (or like the head of a parejo cigar to be precise) out of the ashes. IMHO this provides even burn, because tobacco inside a pipe tends...- jvnshr
