    Pack and Tap: Is my Strange Way Wrong?

    I smoke a lot of smaller diameter pipe and also flake tobaccos. Some of my narrow chambers are quite tall too, chimneys and such. Early on I adopted a method of tapping on the side of the bowl while filling and it's always helped produce easy, problem free smokes.

    Show Off Your Kai Nielsen Pipes!

    This one is a Jewel C grade too, with acrylic stem. So so thin at the bit, coupled with the size/weight (4.45" 20g) means it disappears while smoking. That is, except for the fact it's so damn pretty.

    Anybody Use Clipper Lighters?

    I always wanted to like Clipper lighters. I liked the overall "disposable" look coupled with the ability to refill them. Something about the feel of them just turned me off though. Never could come around to them.

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

    Int Fascinating proposition- I've never actually smoked a clay. My gut feeling is to use a well smoked one that's been used for Virginias- but I don't know how you do it.
