    Knowing When to Quit a Bowl

    This afternoon I had a bowl hiss (steam) at me for about 45 seconds. At that point I knew that I was down to wet tobacco and once it goes out, relighting wouldn’t be worth it. I still haven’t figured out how to keep that last 1/6 bowl from being soggy. (Unless I smoke upside-down) Thanks for...

    On Smoking Slowly and the Benefits...

    I’m convinced that given enough time, you’ll figure it out. I found there’s not many YT tutorials for smoke rings, but many tutorials if you search for “vape rings”

    What is Appealing about Pipe Smoking?

    I've recently been reading about ADHD and smoking. I'm barely-educated on the subject but it appears that there are some cases where Nicotine patches have shown to help regulate ADHD behavior (and some where it gets worse). I thought about opening a thread to get peoples' opinions, but I fear it...

    Show Us your Zippo Lighter

    I love the solid brass ones. I had one as a kid but lost it over the years. Gotta include the zippo refill/flint/tool can. It brings a lot of peace of mind to carrying just the zippo. I guess it is a misnomer to say I carry only the zippo... In my bag at any given time I think I have a rope...

    My first month on this forum, another local sent me a message saying he was quitting and offered me his tobacco. I was just getting started and obliged.
