    What's your First Bowl in the Morning ?

    Thank you all for the replies! You all seem like a nice friendly bunch! Unfortunately, The website Gestapo has spoken. I used misinterpreted grammar and have an inappropriate user name. Ill be moving on to find a place to call home. Peace wackytabacky

    What's your First Bowl in the Morning ?

    Wrong, and its wrong to assume it is referencing another type of smoke. Tobacco was emphasized so replies of tobacco would get posted and not pictures of toilets, cheerios, and any other bowl people could conjur up. Im new to the pipe tobacco world and didnt even think about marijuana when...

    What's your First Bowl in the Morning ?

    Title edited. Quotes around the word "tobacco" (removed the word) suggest the wacky side, which is verboten in the forum. In fact, I suggest you change your handle before Kevin sees it. Just wondering what tobacco people light up for their first bowl of the day.

    Added Red Virginia to EMP - Now another favorite.

    I put aside enough EMP to pack a bowl and thought what the *beep* Ill toss in a pinch of red va. Made it even better. (to me) Whats your favorite (add a pinch) to a tin smoke ?

    Seven Bowls In: Tips and Comments Appreciated

    How does a person use the roof of their mouth to hold a pipe ? How looooong is the pipe stem? Im not understanding this.

    Seven Bowls In: Tips and Comments Appreciated

    Learning and smoking with tongue bite, it was really good reading through this thread. I've been trying to slow down my puffing. A few things I am learning... I found that if I tamp with my finger it helps from packing too tight or my finger will get burnt, but I can also get a feeling on how...

    Any Tips on Learning to Play the Banjo?

    No banjo player but play guitar and have arthritis. Im not sure how bad your arthritis is, but I will mention a few things you may already know or tried. Larger frets - a guitar with Jumbo frets helps to eliminate pressing down as hard. Pressing down hard shouldnt be needed anyway. Lighter...

    Davidoff Flake Medallion

    Different strokes for different folks. Im a newb, so when I saw these ‘coins’ it made sense to me, since I saw the dark center, to either tear them apart so the center mixed in with the other tobacco or ‘eeeeek’ drop them in my grinder so it mixed all the tobacco together. I tried folding...

    Bent or Straight Stem?

    Thanks for all the advice and information. I picked up a MM bent stem yesterday and its hangin off my bottom lip as I type this. Way easier to read and like the hands free 👍

    Bent or Straight Stem?

    Thanks for the informative replies. Ive been smoking a straight Nording which I like. I also started with some straight MM corncobs. Which I also like for what they are. I so like to clench and have teeth marks on the MM stems. To give an idea of how I clench, the MM stems look like a dog got...

    Bent or Straight Stem?

    Are bent stems a little harder to draw through vs a straight stem pipe? Wondering what is best for a newb. What are pros and cons of each type? Thanks!
