    Didn’t think of that 🤣

    White Spots on Meerschaum- What?

    I’ve seen similar with pipes that begin to color just that these spots are brown from the nicotine and tar being drawn out of the stone into the wax

    White Spots on Meerschaum- What?

    Context, I waxed my pipe a week or so ago and took the blowdryer to the pipe to get rid of some of the excess wax today. These white spots formed on the pipe. My guess is it’s areas where the wax has melted away from the surface either deeper into the pores of the meerschaum or where the wax...

    How Often Do You Smoke a Pipe?

    I envy you! Once I have a place I can smoke indoors I’ll definitely be smoking much more than I do now

    How Often Do You Smoke a Pipe?

    I genuinely don’t get how that works there’s almost not enough time in a day unless you’re going through a bowl in fifteen minutes!

    Should I Pull the Plug on this Andreas Bauer?

    Sort of what I was leaning towards as well. I always heard how great ABs are but this one looked a little fragile. If it were a spigot that would be a different story

    Should I Pull the Plug on this Andreas Bauer?

    Currently the highest bidder at $125, thinking of going to 180 before dropping. It’s a 1978 AB with real amber stem and OG case. Is it worth it over a Tekin I’m looking at?

    Tekin Meerschaum Coloring Updates

    That’s a beautiful pipe and has colored really nicely! I just ordered a custom one from him. Was yours translucent or standard quality block? Almost looks like a high grade translucent one!

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    T Good to know! I am growing some right now and I am not sure what to use it for. I will try some pipe tobacco!

    Nicotine or Relaxation?

    I agree. However, there’s something about knowing the plant is nicotiana that makes it that much better, I feel like I’d be a counterfeit if it wasn’t nicotiana I was smoking despite my inability to feel the affect of nicotine form a pipe

    Studies on Pipe and Cigar smokers - Inconsistent!?

    I agree that nicotine is good for conditions like ADHD however, there are plenty of safer ways to take nicotine like nicotine patches, gum, pouches, snus, snuff, etc. Pipe smoking is harmful because of the TSNA's released from tobacco leaf when burned. Nicotine in itself is not harmful at all...

    Nicotine or Relaxation?

    Biologically, I think I agree though I don't think I would ever admit that willingly hah. Snus usually scratches my itch and my pipe is a comforting routine, though I know biologically, my brain loves the nicotine from it, probably the exact reason it is comforted by smoking

    Studies on Pipe and Cigar smokers - Inconsistent!?

    Agreed entirely. I think anyone who would say that pipe smoking is not bad for you and is a healthy habit, is self-deceived. However, how bad is it for you? I can't imagine it is any worse for you than the amount the average person drinks throughout the week.
