    Cob Hazing.

    When I buy a filtered cob, I buy a ten pack of Dr. Grabow filters also. I use a new filter for each of the first ten smokes. It seems to help a little with the harshness from the raw cob, wood, and the outer finish that sometimes gets on the inside of the bowl. After that, I don't use a filter...

    New D&R Multi-Layer Bags-Long Term Storage Question

    I bought 3 bags of Three Sails. I jarred one bag so I could have some to smoke. I have enough wide mouth quart Ball jars for the other two bags but the label states: New Bag Multi-Layer Protection. I am wondering if these would be good for two or three years of storage. I have always jarred my...

    Fishing With Your Pipes

    That reminds me of the story about the hunter returning from deer camp complaining to his wife that she forgot to pack his cigarettes. She replied that she had put a carton in his gun case.

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    It finally arrived. UPS tracking said it was out for delivery on Friday but it didn’t get delivered until today. I was home all day Friday, anxiously awaiting but they never showed, oh well. Going deep on Three Sails. Heading out to the patio now to try Ryback for the first time. I didn’t need...

    Pipe Rest Question

    I can't answer the paint question, but I like the pipe rest.

    Best Shag Cut Blends?

    l ordered some more D&R Three Sails and a pound of Ryback to try, along with some other items. The UPS tracking had it out for delivery on Friday. It was never delivered. I checked the tracking again and it stated “We tried to deliver to the business but it was closed. Another attempt will be...

    Surviving On Five Brothers Pipe Tobacco!

    You and @didimauw got me thinking I should stock up on Five Brothers. I usually only keep one or two pouches on hand. I consider it a must have. I’m thinking of buying 10 to 20 pouches with my next order. t’s only going to get more expensive, and I would get the volume discount. I am not going...

    Surviving On Five Brothers Pipe Tobacco!

    I love it too. I can only handle one smallish bowl a day and I don’t smoke it every day. Twenty pouches would last me a loooong time.

    Went Full Keto Last Week. Any Others?

    So good to hear. I could go carnivore no problem but my wife eats low carb so I eat a few low carb vegetables along with her. Other issues that have been resolved are frequent hemorrhoids, irritable bowel, frequent skin tags, sinus headaches, almost constant fungal infections, insomnia and...

    Surviving On Five Brothers Pipe Tobacco!

    Give it a try. You can’t have too much Five Brothers on hand, and you can always switch back. I will be visiting relatives in Maine in a few weeks. My plan is to take two pipes and two tobaccos. I will take TM Petit Robin as my main smoke (kinda, sorta a milder version of Five Brothers, Semois...

    Went Full Keto Last Week. Any Others?

    I was in bad shape when I hit my 50’s. Overweight, high blood pressure, pre-diabetic, high cholesterol. I had been following the SAD diet recommended by my doctors and was physically active but felt like crap. My doctor started recommending blood pressure and cholesterol medication but I...

    Coincidence?

    My brother bought me a handful of cigars for my birthday last year. He is not a cigar guy and went on the recommendations of the cute young lady behind the counter at the smoke shop. One of the cigars was an Acid and the others were good cigars that I had tried before. We were sitting around the...

    I own two Ropp pipes. Any near future pipe purchases will be Ropp, unless it is meerschaum.

    Any Port Drinkers?

    I used to enjoy Sandeman Tawny Port. Not the expensive ones either. Just the younger stuff. Sadly, my body does not process alcohol properly any more and I get extremely sick on one drink. Puts me down for a day. My doctor says my liver function is fine and that some people develop an...

    Coincidence?

    Sometimes I wish we were neighbors so that you could toss all of the pipes, tobacco, and cigars you don’t want anymore over the fence into my backyard instead of into the trash. 😁

    AND Meerschaum Pipes

    @Sobrbiker smokes the AND minis. He recommended them to me in a previous thread. He may be able to shed some light on the company and their pipes.

    Spoiled by Meerschaum

    I am a recent convert to the water flush cleaning method for my briars and meerschaum. It is quick and easy and leaves the pipe nice and fresh. I never wanted to build cake in my pipes so it works well for me. I try to water flush after every smoke but sometimes every two or three.
