    How to Re-Hydrate Pipe Tobacco

    In my experience. Rehydrate tobacco with distilled water makes the taste of tobacco fades. I would spray some scotch whisky or brandy on them. Brandy usually bring them alive. While whisky can either mess up the flavor or makes them even better! Just like opening a blind box.

    There’s No Bad Pipe Tobacco

    What you need is a matched drinks. I used to hate Latakia tobacco and all the blends that contain it. But, it all changed when I found the amazing synergy between Peated Whisky and Latakia.

    Have You Ever Regretted Selling a Pipe?

    Yes. I've sold some great and beautiful pipes. Like Ser jacopo Gem series and Cavicchi series. All because I was behind on my credit card bills... It is so hard to purchase a similar style pipe again.

    Removing Carbon Buildup on Rim

    Paragon Wax Test

    Mix it lightly with your finger in the jar and makes it liquify is correct. If you don't do that. Some wax will get stuck in the stamps and logos. I just use my cotton clothe to polish it. No need much elbow grease and it will makes your pipe shine!

    Why Switch from Cigarettes to Pipe?

    For me. It's because of the withdrawal symptoms of cigarettes. If I don't smoke at least 1 cigarette per day.(not 1 pack, just 1) My hands would be shaking and my heart beats would increase. I never had any symptoms with pipes. And the cigarettes tasted like poopoo for me now.

    Smoking a new pipe
