    MM Cob Love

    I haven't been smoking as much lately for one reason and the other, but while the kids are away with grandparents I've been treating myself to more time with a pipe. I had picked up a couple of estate bent briars and been smoking them with some frustration, but yesterday I decided to pick my...

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    Not shown: the half pound of parsons blend. Country Squire had a father's day sale, so ummm 😏 Kids are away for the weekend with grands, so I might actually get the chance to try all of them.

    Starter Tobacco

    Parson's Blend is a drier aro (in my limited experience) and is very pleasant to smoke if you are looking for something sweeter without being as fruity (or wet) as something like Lane 1Q Sorry, just realized I'm kind of necroposting.....

    Now That's Dry Tobacco!

    I may have to get one of those..... I have left tobacco sitting out for a couple of days in my house and still found it too moist. Life in Alabama.

    How Much is Too Much?

    When I started I was smoking around three bowls a day, and I also use a wee bit of snus on occasion. I can use nic 3x a day for a week and then not touch it for two weeks, so I doubt I'm addicted. And I'm pretty sure the stress reduction balances out any potential harm from smoking. There are...

    Candle light

    It happened last night and is already healing up, so I don't think I'll get any more stories out of it. Oh well.

    Candle light

    Just don't be idiot like me and let the flame heat up the little wheel part when you do your charring light. I did that and now have a wheel print on my thumb. Probably overfilled it or something bc that flame was a little out of control the first time I used it.

    Quitting Cigarettes and Smoking a Pipe Instead

    Another vote for los snus. I actually microdose the stuff because I'd rather use tobacco than take ADHD meds. It hits fast which is one reason I use it so sparingly.

    What Does “System” Pipe Mean?

    Oh that makes sense. Thanks.

    What Does “System” Pipe Mean?

    I was asking because I got an estate honeymaster off etsy. When I was cleaning it the first time I was having trouble getting the pipe cleaner to go through the shank reliably. I checked this evening, and it does indeed feel like there's another hole or divot or something down in the base of the...

    The Odor Of Pipe Tobacco

    What about one of those German smokers? I've only seen them at German Christmas Markets, but they're wooden dolls that you can use to burn incense or some sort of scented something. (Being very precise here I know!)

    What Does “System” Pipe Mean?

    Did any other pipe makers use an extra chamber for dealing with moisture? Is this something you might run into with estate pipes, or it just with Petersons?

    It's not important. I was just being curious. I'll stay on topic next time.

    Thoughts on a Second Pipe

    There's a medico churchwarden on Ebay for $50 right now. I was watching it and got an offer to buy it for 40, so it should be within your budget if you want to try a briar.

    Lightheaded and Not Sure Why

    The first time I smoked a pipe I got rather lightheaded. Pipes are slow nic, so if you're feeling it halfway through it's probably best to take a break as it's taken a moment to reach that level and will take a bit for it to subside. A snack and not smoking on an empty stomach helps. Also...

    Welcome from a fellow Calvinist! If you don't mind my asking - are you PCA or another branch?

    Chai and/or Cardamom Aromatic Recommendations?

    Gotcha. I've seen all sorts of flavors added to tobacco that it didn't occur to me that something like cardamom might not play well. That said - I'm still trying to figure out the flavors. It's not like they all taste the same to me, but I'm sure I'm missing a lot.

    Chai and/or Cardamom Aromatic Recommendations?

    Proteus, that sounds amazing. I'll have to try that sometime. Pity I don't know any pipe smokers in real life because that sounds like the perfect Christmas gift.

    Chai and/or Cardamom Aromatic Recommendations?

    Not to my knowledge. I'll have to give it a try next time I'm looking for something.
