Why Does a Pipe Smoke Hot?
One reason may be the coating on your pipe. I just had this conversation with a guy who has a pipe finished in some thick plastic lacquer. He complains that the pipe smokes really hot and we agreed that it had something to do with the finish. Again, I do not know what pipes you have or what the...- milehighpiper

Lost A Corona Lighter; Mourn With Me. Also, Need Suggestion For A New One.
Xikar pipeline lighter works for me. I use it as a backup for my zippo (w/ pipe insert) if it runs dry in the middle of a smoke. The only issue I had with mine was that the bottom screw needed to be tightened a bit. Great lighter and I think it was around $40-50 bucks! I also noticed the cheaper...- milehighpiper

Unique Ways To Carry Around Pipe Tobacco
The square Sammy Gawith tins are great for stuffing different tobacco into them and carrying in your pocket. I like that they fit in your jeans pocket with ease and if you are afraid of it drying out just throw one of the humi-discs in there and you will be fine. I cut a piece of baking wax...- milehighpiper

Why is Pipe Smoking Associated With Medieval Themed Books/Movies/Events?
I asked this same question to a History professor (college) in a cigar shop I was visiting. His answer was pretty simple, most of the men who wrote these stories were pipe or cigar smokers themselves and wrote it into their stories because it was an every day thing to them. Whether this is true...- milehighpiper

First Time Reaming Any Advice.
I may break the forum with this... On the last estate pipe I received (the almost $900 pipe) I could not fit a reaming tool in the bowl and it had a significant amount of cake in there. I used a 20ga and a 12ga nylon brush to get rid of the cake. The nylon bristles were coarse enough to beak...- milehighpiper

I smoke like a runaway freight train when I get into a good book (or a good post) but avoid tongue bite with my drink and by smoking a good English that agrees with me.
