    The Synergy of 7 Reserve

    It's midnight at Taiwan. And I'm drinking and puffing with my friends now. I want to talk about the taste of 7 reserve. The taste is mild and smooth but too light compared to any other English blend. However, its synergy with peated whisky is just too amazing. When you smoke 7 reserve first and...

    Re-lighting Advice

    I just do a gentle puff. Not sucking. The ash just get into my mouth somehow... I always pack my tobacco with three layer method. And tamp the tobacco with 3-1 tamper.

    Re-lighting Advice

    Title edited for caps and brevity. Original: "How To Avoid Inhaling Ash When You Re-lit?" When I re-light my pipe. I always inhale ash from pipe bowl.

    Nicotine and Addiction

    The withdrawal symptoms of cigarettes were very awful for me. If I didn't smoke at least 1 cigarette per day. My hands would be shaking and my heart beats would increase. But, if I smoked more than 1 pack, my throat would be sore next day. I never had any symptoms with pipes. Not even I had...

    English blends aren't too bad!

    I love Germain's english blend. Down it with Peated Whisky is the amazing! You should try it before saying you hate Latakia. Because I used to hate it as well.

    Broken Tenons. Repair or Replace Stem?

    I sticked my broken tenon with 24 hours epoxy AB glue. And placed it in a cup, preventing any movement. So that the glue didn't drip. Then I put the cup near my dehumidifier. I wasn't sure if it helps the glue harden better, but the outcome is good. (Remember wearing disposable gloves...
