    Which Tobacco Leaves Your Favorite Mustache Note?

    Hmmm.... I haven't paid enough attention to distinguish between different mustache notes left by different tobaccos... I don't ever smoke or bring a lit pipe into the bedroom, but I do love going to bed with a mustache note!

    My Churchwarden Pipe Rack

    Interesting idea! What would you use as cover for the beanbag-like surface? My first thought was the stretchy material of palm rests for mouse and keyboards, but not sure how well that would age. And for filling I'm assuming you'd have to do something much smaller than actual beans so it better...

    Late Bloomer from Norway

    I was doing that in the beginning (I think based on some articles I read) but was finding it a bit too much? Now I just wipe the bowl to get the ashes and dottle out, but only run the pipe cleaner (with alcohol most of the time) down the stems about once a month, depending on how much I've...

    My Churchwarden Pipe Rack

    Nice rack! And nice stain, too! As a fellow Lesepfeife enthusiast, I also went the same route after looking at a rack online that was not able to be shipped to me. Similarly, I went with holes for the bases to accommodate some of those oddly shaped pipes...

    Ottawa Pipe Club - May 2024 Meeting

    Ah darn! Saw this too late... Maybe next time I'll find out with enough time to arrange a trip for it.

    What "The Wife" Thinks

    I live by myself and don't smoke indoors whenever there is anyone over. A couple of women I date are bothered by the smoke when it blows in their direction outdoors. And I don't smoke indoors when they are going to come over, Others actually like or really like the scent (one of them smokes...

    Damn! I've been at it for a couple of years and my collection is nowhere near that!

    Howdy from a Lurker

    Welcome! Nice art selection for your avatar! I've gotten several Muxiang pipes online and they still smoke better than many more expensive pipes I own!

    Hello from Prince George BC Canada

    Are you talking about the Bohemian Embassy? I've heard lots about it but it precedes my time in Toronto!

    Late Bloomer from Norway

    It sounds like your journey is similar to most: You'll start telling white wines apart from red, then you'll be able to distinguish between grape varieties and if you keep at it you'll get all the nuances between different vineyards and years, etc. I had about two decades of randomly smoking...

    Late Bloomer from Norway

    Welcome Karl! I wish I'd found this forum as early in your journey as you did! I think I was trying things out for a week before I happened upon it. I'm over a year in my journey, but I did have experience with cigars before taking up the pipe. I'm also all about the aromatics and probably...
