    Smoking Filter Pipes Without a Filter - why the adapters ?

    I love filters but only for half a bowl then they get plugged and drive me nuts so I gave up on them. Of my 14 Filtered pipes pipes 12 get smoked without an adaptor and 2 with. My Savinelli Marte 121KS and My Vauen Fuego both require the adaptor to be pleasant otherwise they both get HOT HOT...

    Black markets for Tobacco are already a thing all over the globe including both here in the states and most other countries. All this kinda thing is going to do is increase the possible profit bringing in new scaryier class of criminals and allowing those controlling the black market to upgrade...

    Volkan Paronelli and Paronelli Pipes

    Great information guys. Just makes the wait that much harder. I'm up to 5 between Volkan Paronelli and Paronelli. Might actually see one someday. This Covid tainted holiday season molasses paced over seas shipping thing is killing me. I am not a patient man?‍♂️

    Not a BJ long fan either but like them more then my Brigham's which are the only cleaners I fight down about 3 of my pipes and won't even go down one pipe but I don't have issues with other brands and those pipes

    Pipe Cleaners?

    Glad somebody said this. I was starting to think with everybody recommending them the shedding was supposed to be normal. I ordered some BJ long a few weeks ago and they leave behind fluff behind like mad. Something my Generic Amazon brand didn't do.

    Big Floppy Tobacco Pouches

    Been tearing the net apart lately looking for my dream pouch haven't really seen any that style bigger but seen a few that style in canvas or waxed cloth that would cover the floppy aspect.

    Missed Opportunities Or Things You Wish You Had Done.

    I guess I've always been the kind of person that if I wanted to do something I did it. No matter the cost to myself or others. It's made life one hell of an adventure but also considerably more difficult then required and left a lot of casualties in my wake. At this point all my wish I hads are...

    Missed Opportunities Or Things You Wish You Had Done.

    My mother hated both fish and fishing but some how won a fly tying kit or set or some such thing. She set into it and continued to make them my entire childhood and for as long as we stayed in communication probably still does to this day yet as far as I'm aware never once used one herself.

    Any Loss/decrease in Taste or Smell due to Pipe Smoking?

    Actually I would say the opposite but I gave up 2 packs a day for the pipe. Can smell and taste things I haven't in years. Which honestly isn't always a good thing??‍♂️?

    Like Some Advice on what Tobaccos to Buy Next.

    Check out The country squire. Recently discovered them myself in the last couple weeks. Price is decent and they have both a Couple pretty strongly flavored Areos I've come to enjoy and a Areo English that's a pretty tasty mix of tobacco with a bit of extra flavoring. Plus you can order up a...

    Your biggest Surprise in Pipe Smoking?

    eBay. I've never understood why somebody would really want other people's old "Junk" But i was broke and needed a stand. A couple great bargains, 40+ pipes, and a Dozen humidors, stands, Bags, Tampers and such later? Well it's been an expensive month but i gotta say at this point buying new...

    Pipe Cleaners?

    I never would've imagined when I started this journey just exactly how fast I would burn up pipe cleaners or how much they could vary from brand to brand. Heck I wasn't really even aware they came in the none colored art project variety. That said It's time once again to order more and...

    Is this normal?

    As a 2+ pack a day smoker that has completely given up cigarettes this year thanks to a pipe. I honestly suggest giving up on the pipe known to be a subpar smoker and getting some cobs, some paper filters and a few sample blends that just sound yummy. It's hard for new smokers to smoke slow...

    Handling Moisture?

    Thanks for the blend recommendation. I'll check it out next time I'm on that side of the state. While some of my issue is as you state my own drool it's mostly just cold weather and a hot pipe as the issue only occurs when smoking while working outside and only in the colder parts of the day...
