    I realize that it’s hard to see in these photos 😂

    New IMP Coloring Progress

    Well it’s been a while since I updated. I have smoked this pipe quite infrequently, maybe three bowls one day and then a few days off. I’m at about 25 bowls and starting to see some of those “veins” pop out in the shank. I’d say by bowl 50 it will have some nice coloring.

    Cascadia Pipe Co. - Trailhead

    I also want to add as I am about halfway through a bowl, I detect some Black Cavendish which is weird as I do not see any in the blend. However, unlike most aromatics, its is very mild and pleasant and that is coming from someone who hates Black Cavendish

    Cascadia Pipe Co. - Trailhead

    Well, this one seemed to somewhat open my taste back up, must have needed to switch up my routine. This is a wonderful blend, truly an all day smoke. Its a plug tobacco which typically isn't a favorite of mine but it cuts nicely into flakes or chunks. It is a very moist blend and needs a lot...

    Chewable Plugs?

    Awesome thanks for the advice

    Chewable Plugs?

    I’ve read many different historical accounts of how sailors would take plugs with them to sea; if the weather was favorable, they’d put it in their pipes, if it was unfavorable, they’d throw some in their cheek. Are these plugs the same we have today or are these different kinds of plugs? If...

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

    B Morgan Bones makes a mean pipe, I love their rustication and lack of finish.

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

    I’m really like San Sepolcro this year. Very good stuff, finished my tin before I lost my taste last month

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    I won’t ever stop smoking, not even if I’m at deaths doorstep. I’ve taken up snus (for those of you who were on that thread, my wife and I came to an agreement) which has cut down my smoking a lot compared to what it used to be but I don’t ever plan to quit. I had a cancer scare this last year...

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    There are some blends that still are quite flavorful, the Haunting being one. Im not a fan of English or Balkan blends but those are blends I have not tried since this strange event. Maybe I should try it tonight.

    😂😂😂. Animal based is basically majority of nutrition comes from animal products like meat, eggs, milk, butter, etc. supplemented with smaller amounts of fruits

    Not really. I’ve done some gentle bowl scraping on my meers but that’s about it.

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    Medications: I’m not on any so no. Diet: sort of, I switched from Carnivore to an animal based diet. Probably not a bad idea to see the doc and get a physical.

    I do have hereditary high blood pressure despite me being young and quite fit so it wouldn’t surprise me haha. I think the latter is more likely though

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    Title edited. See Rule 9 for title guidance. Not sure what happened. Im a regular pipe smoker and smoke about 6 blends exclusively. Nothing has changed in my smoking routine/patterns, same amount of dry time, same char light, same smoking pace, everything yet about a month ago, I just lost my...

    Natural American Spirit Pipe Tobacco

    I'll be honest, I don't smoke cigarettes often but when I do, I only smoke American Spirits Blue and Black. Supposedly they have perique in them and I find them to be extremely flavorful, so much so that I sometimes just draw in with my mouth and don't inhale, just so I can get the full flavor.

    Only Yanik Would Carve Something Like This

    Consider the scale though. For the piece you posted, its a figural head piece so you have a larger subject where you can include much more detail. For the other one, its a larger scene so you can't get as narrow detail
