    Modern/Current Make Ashton pipes

    I am not going to quote everyone but these are all very helpful messages! thank you very much. ♥️ I am happy to hear that regardless of the inconsistency, overall there are good new ones you guys are happy with. @bluegrassbrian is there a way to find out/date Ashton pipes (other than the bill...

    All Day Tobacco

    all day would be something that is easy to puff on, of course slow smoking is ideal and it's good to practice that and be able to do that consistently but realistically for me it does happen when i do puff fast if I'm distracted or doing something else, so something which isn't especially bitey...

    Modern/Current Make Ashton pipes

    Hello, For a while I wanted an Ashton pipe, I find them to fit to my taste the best among the classic English pipes. I know of the reputation of older Ashtons, or at least know people who really like them. It is a bit hard to start hunting for one, especially when you don't grasp what is a fair...

    Using Alcohol and Cotton Balls on Meerschaum

    got it, makes sense, I always sanitize my briars the same way, I did feel a bit strange about not doing it on meers - I am glad that it seems like it is a possibility, for future estate meers I will get, thank you for posting about it

    New Pipe Days are the Best: J. Alan Squashed Apple and Nate King Tomato.

    killer choices, beautiful pipes. what Nate King did with the stubby thick shank is really cool to me. if you have more photos of that photo I'd love to see them! enjoy those beautiful pipes.

    Using Alcohol and Cotton Balls on Meerschaum

    Thank you for your answers, I have cleaned the meer which has been giving me an off taste thanks to your advice and I'm just about to test it, I am optimistic. what I mean about the slowing down of colouring, is that in my head you use the alcohol and pads to clean the meer by pulling stuff out...

    Using Alcohol and Cotton Balls on Meerschaum

    great thread, good to put those common tips to the test sometimes. how often do you do this kind of cleaning to your meerschaums? or was it just for the experiement? do you think it potentially slows off further colouring since you pull gunk and maybe some of the tars in the meer out? what about...

    Do You Ash?

    I sometimes do, it's not something im very aware of anymore. I don't think I do it every smoke, but I think on most smokes at least once, kinda go if I feel it's needed or taste is ashy. not sure if what I'm doing is ideal, works for me. I usually don't agitate the ash or bump the pipe for the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2023?***

    last smoke in this meer after a pretty intense week or so of smoking it, now it goes on a small vacation. the funky taste it had in the beginning is slowly fading I think. smoking Velvet, those kind of aros taste great in that pipe,

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2023?***

    Some KBV Uzumaki in the dog meer, been smoking it a lot lately.. hoping to get some colour going! although might be hard to see or get any serious colouring since they used darker wax. the blend is good but maybe a bit sweet for me personally this morning, will have to revisit it later. Happy...

    Pipe prepping ahead of time

    I'd pack maybe a one pipe beforehand, problem for me with having a few pre-packed pipes is that that, although a bit slower than in the open air, the tobacco will dry up in the bowls. I also don't find packing to take too much time, but that depends on the blend and sometimes every few seconds...

    Do You Own a Pipe 5” or Less in Length?

    as time passes I seem to prefer shorter and shorter pipes, not exclusively, still have some longer/larger pipes I love. but most of the stuff that is in my rotation now is around 110-120mm, I seem to struggle less with tongue bite than in the past, so that is less of a problem, and they are very...

    Dishonorable Mentions

    As far as for my list: Pegasus Missouri Meerschaum: Lord Morgan Pirate Kake Those are the ones the come to mind that created a reaction that strongly negative that I won't ever think about revisiting or recommending to anyone.

    Dishonorable Mentions

    As someone that loves velvet, I 100% agree, it's play-doh.
