    Another pipe dedication question.

    I go through months of smoking once or twice. Then there'll be weeks straight when I have two pipes a day. I do find taking short breaks helps a lot with discerning tastes and subtly for myself. But to each their own. Currently on a 2 bowls a day binge and loving it! :)

    Same. I pretty much have my one .80 Bingham for the smoky bois. , and every other pipe.

    Ten Minute Tiny Pipes

    On honor of this thread it tried it out. I have a handful of mini clay pipes from Penn Valley. I wanted to try this Virginia flake from sir John broken flake that I've been hoarding. With three years it's not bad. this tiny pipe mount not be doing it justice though.

    Ten Minute Tiny Pipes

    What's that little green one!? Excellent. Is it fair to say that for tasting purposes, a small pipe works fine?

    My Magnificent Magnum Moretti Morta

    Thanks. I am looking to add a morta to my small collection. What are you tasting notes/ thoughts on Dockworker? I have two tins sitting around... been waiting for, well I'm not sure.

    Beautiful! Can you give me your impressions of both Dockworker and morta? Very curious about both.

    Suggestions on repair on my meerschaum.

    I will try to get it all squared away tomorrow. Thanks!

    Suggestions on repair on my meerschaum.

    How will I know what threads to buy? I keep seeing 14mm, which seems the closest, but I am not sure what measures.

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

    I have a jar of 2019 Dunbar marinating in the timestream. What are your impressions on Dunbar?

    Suggestions on repair on my meerschaum.

    Hello! Back when I started smoking pipe in earnest, I bought this cheap (but expensive for me at the time!) meerschaum ostensibly manufactured by CAO. The stem is a little off balance when screwed on. The bottom line is that it smokes fine but if there's a fix, I'd like to try it.

    That IS quite a piece.

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

    Today is a 2020 tin of Wessex Brigade Sovereign Curly Cut in my old trusty meerschom from CAO. I don't often like VaPers and rarely reach for a tin. But this is an excellent smoke. I always say to myself "self, let's sell all these Virginia and VaPers, you never smoke them!" And mornings like...

    Read Tiny Fine Print In New Lease.

    This exact thing happened to me. It's most unfortunate. I get not smoking inside rental units; but no where on the grounds!? Highly frustrating. I rent a house now, so still no smoking, but I have a porch and back yard now to relax in. When I'm not working.

    Lunch Break Bowl: An Inquiry.

    I get restrictions on where folks can smoke by doors and such. But even SFSU had smoking areas when I went there in the early 2000s. That's annoying! What do you do for work?

    Lunch Break Bowl: An Inquiry.

    That's the dream. I work from home about 30% of the month, but we rent so I do not smoke inside, though someday I would love a smoking room.

    WW2 Blends

    They do look similar to a couple Kaywoods - I belive comrade Stalin smoked a cherrywood pipe iirc, and smoked flur de Herzegovina or some such thing that was a cigarette tobacco.

    Lunch Break Bowl: An Inquiry.

    Thanks, I was curious. And all that stuff makes sense. I do prefer to have time and no deadlines with my pipe, but it's also a nice reprieve fitting a busy day sometimes.

    Lunch Break Bowl: An Inquiry.

    As a union organizer I am always on the move. I prefer to smoke my pipe when I have time to relax and enjoy, without pressing issues invading my mental shire. But, sometimes a 20 or 30 minute pipe break in the midst of a busy 12 hour day is just what is needed. I would like to hear what other...
