    White Ash Mid Smoke?

    My habit is to tamp down the fluffy ash, gently invert my pipe and let any of the really loose, just tamped ash.... just fall away. It's easy, and quickly becomes a habit. My pipe stays lit from char-light to bottom. And, btw, I NEVER smoke all the way to the bottom...."to a fine white...

    Lane Limited RLP-6 and a Smile

    Ray47: If you had to pick out the differences between LL-7 and RPL-6 .....what would those differences be? I smoke a homemade custom mixture that uses HGL as the main component, and HGL is just really RPL-6 with a little added Latakia. Now I wanna try LL-7, too. Lane Ltd makes some good...

    "Le Petomane's" act is getting revived? YOU-TUBE, LP for the laughs.

    Old Farts Desease

    I'm also a terrible sleeper...even as a kid. It gets worse as I get older, more aggravated, and more stressed out. But, I refuse to dose myself with any "sleep aids". However....I found my cure! Here's my miracle: Turn on your TV. Sit back, get comfortable, and watch reruns of Bob...

    It's great when your pipe tobacco fits like an old pair of slippers.

    First Pipe From Scratch

    Great work. Love the proportions. Enjoy smoking all your efforts....you earned the kudos. It's amazing what elbow grease can do, even with a minimum of tooling. You proved it.

    Pipes in WWII

    Aromatic mixtures were well established way before the '70s. I was born in 1950 and started smoking a pipe when I was a young teen, back in '66. The vast OTC selections were mostly aromatics....Mixture No. 79, Amphora, Walnut, Revelation, Velvet, Prince Albert, etc. I'll bet many of these old...

    Reaming Pipes

    I'm simple. I use sandpaper. No need for reaming. Once cake layer is sanded away, and under control -there's barely a reason to use sandpaper, again. Don't allow a thick cake layer to build up. Even the cake in neglected estate pipes can be sanded away, or gently scraped away if first...

    Blending Pecentages

    I used to ponder the same question...but since that information will probably never disclosed, I no longer think about it. It is, what it is.

    I'm a Stranger in a Strange Land...

    I lived long enough to know that unchecked infections spread quickly to other areas. Sepsis follows. Sad.

    Looking For Nostalgic Room Note

    I sincerely believe few, if any, of those old timers bought "custom mixed" blends. They weren't fussy, and bought whatever the stores had available. Cheap, OTC mixtures suited them just fine. Velvet, Revelation, Amphora, Troost, Grainger, CH, H&H, SWR, PA, Cherry Blend, Walnut, are but a few...

    I'm a Stranger in a Strange Land...

    If your state, Pennsylvania is the "bulbous beer gut"...then my state's claim has to be "the fetid boil on the ass of America" I live in shit-hole New York.

    Suggestions for Bulk Crossovers?

    As suggested ^^^^^^^^^^ Lane Ltd "HGL" is really just Captain Black-original, with a small amount of added Latakia. It's smooth and creamy, with a hint of smoke and pine, but not much at all. Room note is very pleasant. Good stuff. You could also buy some bulk, blending-Latakia and add a...

    So, I've Been Using Lambs Navy Rum to Clean...

    Mccormick's 'Rum Extract' (cake flavoring) works just as well. I've used it for years. I also use 'Orange Extract' for cleaning smelly stems and the mortise area. These alcoholic extracts are cheap, effective, and can be bought in any large food market. Also, try jamming/twisting a piece of...

    Recommendations of Tobacco Blends for a New Pipe Smoker

    Buy sampler packets from all the big retailers that sell pipe tobacco. Buy bulk mixtures...so you can buy small amounts of blends you want to try. Your preferences will quickly change, but you'll start to zero in on the types of mixtures that you enjoy smoking. Small sample packets will...

    Strange Way To Die #2

    I used to be a range officer...and I can't tell you how many times I had to school those who were shooting muzzle loaders. Countless times I had to tell them to point the muzzle of the gun away from their chins/heads- in case of an accidental discharge while loading, and to keep the end of the...
